Past

She took both children to her side,making them lie down on the bed.Sitting between them,she began to caress their hair with her fingers,singing a lullaby to them.There was silence all around, except for her melodious voice echoing in the room.

"Sweet dreams,my little ones,rest
  tight
  May your hearts be filled with joy
  and love that's best  
  In our family, we hold each other
  tight
  With laughter and smiles, we shine
   so bright
   May your dreams be sweet and your   
   sleep be deep
   In the morning light, our love will
   forever keep "
 
Her family was with her which included her two children and her husband who was sitting on a chair in front of them,looking at his wife and boys with love.The couple knew that their peace lies in each other's company,in this house, filled with the laughter of the two boys.They knew that the house they had built even though lacked the luxuries of the palace they had left,was still enough for them.For they had always wanted nothing but love.Love that they had for each other.Love that they had for their children.

They didn't want anything more from life,because Allah had given them everything that they wanted.Their whole world was their children whom they wanted to love so much that they wouldn't know of the evilness of the world.

After a while,she slowly stopped singing and gently kissed the children's foreheads.When she got up to go to her room,a small hand stopped her.It was Burak's hand.

With a lot of innocence and sleep in his eyes, he said in a soft voice, "Anne(mother), why can't I sing like you?"

A smile appeared on his mother's lips and she lovingly took Burak's face in her hands and said, "You can sing.Who said you can't?"

"No one,but your voice is so sweet.Why isn't my voice like yours?"

His father laughed at this and got up from his chair.He came to sat down next to Burak and held his mother's hand while looking at her, "Yes,your mother's voice is indeed very sweet."
His mother blushed at the compliment and turned her face away from her husband while smiling.

His elder brother who was a 10 year old boy sat up and said, "I'll teach you how to sing like anne."

Burak's eyes sparkled with excitement and he smiled, "Will you really teach me, abi(older brother)?Just like anne?"

"Yes,just like anne."He said with a smile.

Their parents smiled at them and lovingly kissed both children's foreheads,fixed their blanket and went out,closing the door behind them and the two children fell into a peaceful sleep.
