Mine To Heal

Chapter 7

MUNIRA'S POV

I am in mamas room with some of my aunties and sisters. They were all asking about my opinion on some stuff for the wedding preparations like the dress colour and style for the different even

ts and also on my matrimonial home.

It has also been a week since Hishams visit and true to his words he calls me every single day. We have gotten a lot closer and I am starting to get comfortable around him. He makes me feel safe and honestly, I really love our conversations. I am always looking forward to his calls.

Just then I heard my ringtone, I checked the caller id and lo and behold it is Hisham. I smiled and went out of the room to answer the call, noticing the eyes of all the occupants of the room on me but I just ignored them all. After all my hubby is calling.

What is wrong with me? I thought. Now I am even calling him hubby?

I went to the back yard and sat in the hut. Assalamu alaiki Hisham said in his deep, husky voice. Wa alaikassalam I answered shyly. How are you doing wifey? Hisham asked. He now calls me that ever since out first call and I really loved it.

I am fine, how about you and everyone at home? I asked. Everyone is fine and all can not wait to meet you he said and even though he can not see me, I blushed. I also can not wait to meet them I also said. Can we switch to facetime? Amani is here beside me with Farhanah and want to see you, but if you are not comfortable it is fine Hisham said.

No no it is alright let us switch I said and just then the call came through and I immediately answered. OMG!! You are so pretty, by the way im Amani Amani said, and I could tell we were going to get along with her including my friends and we were also age mates, Hisham told me. Thank you, you are also a beauty I said to Amani.

Just then, I heard another female voice she was also very pretty and looked about the same age as Hanan and Janan. I then knew that she had to be Farhanah. Hello sis, im Farhanah she introduced, and then a guy I did not know and looked just like Farhanah came in from a door that was caught on camera. I then concluded he was Farhan, Farhanahs twin brother.

So you were face timing and did not call me? Farhan asked no one in particular. Yes cause you are not that important Farhanah replied. Was I talking to you? Farhan asked again. No, but you did not specify who you were talking to Farhanah replied, and that was how their banter continued. I was looking at the duo very amused when Hisham cut of their banter.

Sorry, I am Farhan and also this idiots twin Farhan apologized while referring to Farhanah as the idiot. No problem, you guys are seriously very amusing I said smiling looking at them. W e then all started talking and now I have the twins and Amanis number, I already like them and they are really fun to be around. Amani and the twin made me laugh so much.

I also noticed Hisham looking at me with an emotion in his eyes that I could not read everytime I spoke, smiled or laughed. And I also do not know what is wrong with me, everytime he looked at me like that I felt my heart race and I felt the urge to just be in his arms. These feeling were foreign to me but I knew that I could not wait for the knot to be tied so that I can hug him cause he will be my muhharram.

We ended the call after an hour of talking and laughing. I felt eyes on me and looked around but I could not see anyone, so I thought I was just being paranoid, then I quickly left the hut and into the house.

I went back to mamas room and immediately I entered mama asked with a smile how was your conversation with Hisham? she asked knowingly. What? I answered containing the smile that was trying to break out. She is just shy aunty Rabi said with a teasing smile, she is my moms older sister.

No I said shyly. Munira we all heard you laughing, you are getting better mama said. Yes. I am pretty sure almost everyone heard you Sumayyah said with a teasing look. How did you hear? I asked them. The window of course we could see and hear everything Amina said while smiling at me. Oh it was all I could say to them.

Hurriedly I left the room to mine as I sat down on the couch of my room, a conference call from my friends came in. I quickly answered the call, their faces immediately showed up on the screen. We talked for long and made plans to meet up the next morning to go out.

Honestly I was not very comfortable on going out because since the incident I did not leave the house, so we are going out by 9:00am and coming back by Zuhr prayers, that is by 1:00pm. Since the incident, I promised myself that if I go out I will be back by Asr prayer max. And I plan on making it happen, it is a vow that will not be broken INSHAALLAH.

THE NEXT MORNING

Today is the day that I and my friends are going out, we are going out to get their anko for the wedding events. I would be there to make sure that what they pick would go with the colour of my dresses.

I decided that I would have 4 events, which would be; Bridal Shower, Henna Party, Kamu and Wedding Fatiha. I would not be having Dinner and Cocktail Party, because it would have been at night.

Even with the incident, I decided to not let anything spoil my wedding because it is a once in a lifetime thing, so I would enjoy it to the fullest. I know that people are going to talk seeing as I was just raped but what can I do? It has already been done and I can not change it, so I am not going to duel on it more and move on with my life. I know that I have to move on because I am going to be someones wife now and I know that Hisham will help me go through it.
