What I saw surprised me .My mom,Billy's and Zahrah's family were all seated and a banner has a WE LOVE YOU SIDDY on it.I can't believe it! There was also a huge cake lot of food and drinks.Some of my mother's close friends were also there.I just can't believe it.It is too much for me and I think I don't deserve much.The walimah went well mashaa Allah and a lot of people showered me with gifts and prayers. I am blessed Alhamdulillah.During my absence a very religious nice and caring guy asked for permission to get to know Billy and I think she likes him too.His name is Faisal he is also funny just like her .As I was about to ask Zahrah about her Brother in law's cousin she can't stop gushing about he came into view"Assalamu alaikum everyone.I am sadik the love of Zahrah's life and it is nice to finally meet you all.I have heard a lot about you from her"he said with a charming smile.Billy and I exchanged looks and I decided to talk to her telepathically"he is outgoing and talkative unlike her"I signed and Billy just smiled and shrugged.Maybe I had missed alot more than I thought in my friends lives.After the walimah I thanked everyone because they make me feel like a princess and Yaya zaid dropped Umma and I at home."please stay behind and join us for dinner"Umma offered.He looked at me and I nodded my approval."okay Ma,I will park the car then I will join you shortly"
We sat in the living room talking about random things and he told me how hectic his work was, but he enjoyed every second of it because it gives him the satisfaction of knowing that he can help people get better and move on with their lives.He also feels sad when a patient die but he says that death is inevitable and oneday we will all die"I want to die before you so that I won't feel the pain of loosing you.I pray and wish that you will be my wife not only here in this world but in jannah too.With you I want to be a better person,you made me appreciate the little things and blessings I have and you made me want to be closer to Allah because with you I realised that life is not worth fighting for but the akheera.You are selfless which made me adore you more.When you are in pain you don't think about your self but the people you love.You always smile as if you are unscathed while deep inside you have been wounded beyond repair.You are beautiful siddika and I meant your heart is beautiful ,you have a pure heart and I wish you know that and stop under rating yourself because whoever know you is truly blessed".He made me speechless with his words .A lone tear slid down my cheeks.I opened my mouth to say something but nothing came out.I tried several times until I gave up when I looked up at him I caught him staring at me with so many emotions I can't decipher. That moment I realised that he is the one for me and I pray to Almighty Allah that we end of together."Dinner is ready"Umma called from the kitchen.We discussed about everything and nothing.Umma decided that it is a very good time to embarrass me when she went into her room and come out with my childhood pictures.I willed the earth to open up and swallow me.Yaya zaid was having a good time of his life not affected with the daggers I am sending towards him."umma why now? This is not fair at all.And you should get ready for my revenge because I will ask your mother to give me yours too"I whined.they just laughed at me unaffected with my playful glares."mister Z.Its late kindly park your things and go"I dramatically motioned the door way to him."ouch!that hurts"he holds unto his chest with a smirk."Do you have an interesting movie we can watch?"umma asked me .That was surprising because she is not the movie type.She seldom watch TV except news and documentaries.I think she don't want to leave us alone and she has nothing in mind for us to do."yess!there is this Indian movie ek villain and it is interesting. Let's watch it"I said excitedly momentarily forgetting that zaid is around.We watched the movie in silence talking only when it is necessary. After the movie we all agreed that it was interesting.Yaya zaid said his salaam and leave while umma went up to her room to sleep.I watched another movie before heading up to my room.I said my azkar and decided to text Yaya zaid but I already received a message from him two hours back.Poor him,he must have thought I already slept.I replied back and wish him good night"and thanks for today,it has been long Umma looks genuinely happy and the credit goes to you.Today is a day to remember. Have a good night rest and may Allah be with You".

The next day,I woke up,prayed and do my usual chores and I decided to visit my long time friend Walida.I asked for permission but Umma refused to let me,after a lot of persuasion she allowed me but under a condition that zahrah and Billy tag along.I hugged her tightly and thanked her.I called my girls and Walida to tell her that I am having company.
Later in the day,zahrah's driver took us to Walida's place. She was so happy to see us after such a long time.We went inside and greeted her mom then she lead us straight to her room"I heard about your kidnap Siddy and it was very unfortunate. I pray that such will not happen ever again." She symphatized ."its okay dear.It was meant to befall me and there is nothing anyone can do about it." I answered her with a smile."alright girls let us enjoy ourselves while it last"Billy being Billy stated.I noticed that Zahrah had been unusually quite only to turn around and see her smiling at her phone like an idiot"and someone don't even know you are talking my dear Bilkisu"I said loud enough for her to hear me.She quickly put away her phone pretending to be part of the conversation from the beginning"not so fast sweetheart who are you chatting with?"I asked using a bossy tone. She smiled again"you know who that is ,there is no need for me to say it out loud"with that she started tickling me .We had a lot of fun at walida's .As I was about to tell Walida that it is time for us to go my mom called me "Assalamu Alaikum Umma we are on our way back don't worry too much"I teased"siddika we have been robbed.Not a single useful item is left in the house .I am with the police don't go home just stay at Billy's I will be there soon"she said a voice filled with worry.Yah salaaam!not again.Yah Allah give me the strength and faith to pass this test.I started crying and repeating innalillahi wa inna ilaihi raji'un.My friends consoled me with words of encouragement. When will I ever be happy again?while will my life be normal again? Only Allah knows what He has in store for me.
