It's been two months since Adnan slipped into coma.
Affan decided to let go of Khadijah and sacrifice his love for her to Amaan for his mother's sake.
Affan has been crying in his bedroom.

Affan, Son, stand up.
Affan weakly sit up.
Abbah! Affan call with a cracked voice.
Son don't cry you are a strong man.
Abbah Adnan is in coma, Ummi blame me for it and she persuade me to leave Khadijah for Amaan.
Affan cried.
Affan, I am upset with you.
You still have time to take what belongs to you back.
Go and marry Khadijah. She is yours.

Your mother's tears shouldn't stop you from marrying the woman you love.
Affan, You will see the world Inn Sha Allah.
You will be happy.
Go and apologize to Khadijah and sort things out.
Two of you are meant for each other.
I will never forgive Hafsah for doing this to you.
Abbah why did Ummi hate me?
Abbah please tell me the secret behind my disability.

Affan, you will soon find out. Be patient.
My company belongs to you, not Amaan.
Everything will be given to you soon.
I love you, Son. Please take care of yourself and Your brothers.
Go to Khadijah now.
Affan wipe off his tears.
He saw a blurred vision of his father.
Abbah I can see you but it's blurry. Affan muttered.
Everything will be clear soon.
Abbah, Abbah it's dark here again. Affan rub his eyes but the blurry vision is gone.
He groan frustratedly.

Alhaji, Khadijah is sick.
Please let her marry Affan. Najah pleaded.
Alhaji Abdulmajid muttered okay.
He stand up from the bed and walk to Khadija's bedroom.
Alhaji Abdulmajid walk in.
Khadijah had tears in her eyes.
She call out to Allah and her mother.
Khadijah, Alhaji Abdulmajid called.
Khadijah sniff.

Khadijah, when will you stop crying? You cry every day and refuse to eat or drink anything.
Khadijah, do you want to die?
Yes, Abbah. I want to die. I want to leave the world. I am tired of leaving. Khadijah cried.
Khadijah, do you want to marry Affan?
Okay, I agree to the marriage. I would like to see him. Alhaji Abdulmajid muttered.

Khadijah Humm.
Ain't you happy? Is that not what you wanted?
Abbah Affan and Amaan are siblings.
His mother persuaded him to leave me so that Amaan could marry me. Khadijah tell her father how cruel Amaan and Hajiya Hafsah have been treating Amaan.
Subahanallah! That is wickedness.
Don't worry dear. I will not accept Amaan. Alhaji Abdulmajid muttered.
Call Affan and tell him I want to have a conversation with him. Alhaji Abdulmajid muttered.
Khadijah muttered okay.

She open her bedside drawer and take out her phone.
She turn it on.
Her phone started ringing immediately she turned on the phone.
Khadijah pick up the call.
Assalamualaikum came Affan's voice.
Wa Alaikum salam, Khadijah replied.
Khadijah, how are you?
I'm fine and you?
I'm fine Alhamdullilah.

Khadijah, Affan called.
Humm.
I'm sorry I know I hurt you. I shouldn't have said that to you.
Khadijah, I can't do without you. I love you and I will never leave you for anyone. Please convince your Dad to allow us to get married. Affan pleaded.
Affan, it's okay. Abbah have agreed.
He want to see you.
Abbah have accepted you. Khadijah muttered.

I will call Ad..
I will call Salman we will come together. Affan muttered sadly.
Affan, how is Adnan?
Adnan is still in comma. Affan muttered Sadly.
Khadijah pray for him.

Khadijah and Najah prepare different varieties of foods.
They arrange them on the dining table.
Congratulations Mrs Affan. I'm happy to see you like this. I'm glad Your father finally accept him. Najah muttered.
Thank you, Mummy. Thank you for convincing my Dad. Not all stepmom will love their husband's daughter like you love me especially when you don't have a child for him. Khadijah muttered.
She hug Najah.
