AHL-E - DIL

IV

" Never disrespect a WOMAN, when Allah dedicated a whole Verse in the Quran for them."

" Hazrat Ali (AS) Said: If the eyes of a female cry over a man, the angels curse him on every step he walks. Women are like flowers, they must be treated gently, kindly and with affectionate."

" Women are better at love than men, that's why Allah made them mothers."

Arfa P.O.V

My sleep was broken by the birds chirping sound. I sat up straight rubbed my face. I think Im habitual to rubbing my face after waking up. I checked the time it was four in the morning still thirty minutes left for fazr azaan to go.

I stood up from the bed and folded the blanket and turned off the air conditioner. I saw my two big black shiny trolley bags near the couch and I was again reminded of my reality. I guess whatever happens, happens for good. I went towards bathroom and was welcomed by my puffy eyes thanks to all the crying I did at night.

I know it's his fault, but which wife can ever tolerate her husband cheating on her and stay silent. I really tried to make this relationship work but I think not anymore. I'm done.

I brushed my teeth, washed my face. I packed my brush and all essential products used by me in a small travel bag which I had brought here when I got married. Never thought I would be packing and leaving the way I came.

It's sad , after marriage it feels like our parents home isn't our house anymore. Maybe we are treated like guest there so that's why. And if our husband cheats or do something then our husband's house doesn't even feel like home anymore.

One thing I realised today, doesn't matter how much successful a girl becomes , they should always build their own house first.

Guess who is homeless for now. Maybe I ain't because I have my appi but I sometimes think of those who doesn't even have anyone to help them and they are suffering from what im suffering right now.

May Allah provide more strength to them.

I performed wudu and prayed Salah .

I then rushed downstairs to make breakfast for abbu , who is also a morning person like me. I made french sandwich and tea for both of us.

I knocked in the door before opening and he knew it was me. He gave me a full blown smile. I was very happy with his progress that he could walk now and stand for little bit more without any pain.

"Asslamu Alaikum Abbu" i said smiling at him.

( Peace be upon you Father in law)

" Walaikum assalam bacha" he patted my head as he sat on the long velvet emrald colour cushioned chair which was near his balcony but not in the balcony.

( Peace be upon you too , child.)

I placed the breakfast on the small table infront of him and occupied the same design chair infront of him.

We had breakfast while talking here and there . Mostly him sharing his old time stories, the fun he had with his siblings, friends and all.

" Kya hua bacha aap pareshan kyu lag rahe ho?" He asked sensing my eyes filled up with tears while listening to him.

( What happened child? why are you looking so tensed?)

" Abbu , mein aapi key Ghar ja Rahi hu " i said.

( Father in law , I'm going to my Sister's house.)

" Jao , aur tumhari appi ko Mera Salam kehna" he replied smiling eyes to eye.
