THE LOVE STORY OF A& I

PROLOGUE

INTEESAR walked quietly into her bedroom and lay motionless on the bed.

"INTEESAR" ya sadiya called softly,there was no reply at first then she turned with red rimmed eyes, she sat up immediately she saw her sister and pulled her in for a hug.

"Ya Sadiya you're here, I know you'll listen to me please tell them to leave me, I want to go and wake my daughter up"

Affan walked into the room, he take a deep breath before walking close, wiped few stray tears.
"The janazah will be by eight"
He left the room after that,

Most of the family members that lived in kaduna were already present and even those that manage to drive out early were all present, the whole house was packed with people who wanted to give condolence and show support to the parent.

"May Allah make her a precursor and source of reward for her parents" The imam finished and they got ready to head out for the salatul janazah.

Inteesar took a step forward but not toward the house, she was heading for the car they were trying to put the small coffin that held her daughter.

"Tell them to stop please" she cried trying to fight who was holding her.
"Please tell them to give me back my daughter, I told you she is just sleeping, she is just sleeping I promise."

She was almost at the car now, it didn't matter how many people tried to stop her, she somehow shook them off.

She was almost at the car when she felt arms around her, her husband's musky cologne made her stop in her step.

"Affan don't let them take her please" she begged fisting his clothes in her hands, full on crying.
He whispered duas in her ears, she stop talking she loosened his hold but not letting go completely.
"Say inna lillahi wa inna ilaihi raji'oon" he urged , it took three tries before she compelled, she kept repeating it until she calmed down.

Ya sadiya held her as she sobbed repeating the same prayer over and over again, they stood there until the cars left the street. She help her walk back inside the house, she was still silently crying to herself.

"Affan opened inteesar room and had to fight the tears when he saw her hugging the pillow noorie always slept with.

Like she could sense his presence, inteesar turned and met her husband's eyes. He walked further and sat beside her, hugging her to him with her head on his shoulder. He knew he should be outside talking with people but he'd much rather be here with his family, they needed him most.

"Affan is all our fault if we had given them the money and you agree with them and get married to Hauwa. All this would have happen and noorie will still be here with us" she burst into tears.
He hugged her tightly she fell asleep almost an hour later when she tired herself out.
