(I would like to suggest you listen to 'Chal Wahan Jaate Hain' while reading this.)

She exclaimed emotionally, "Oh, I missed you so much, Taehyung!" He hugged her back, and as they pulled apart, his mother cupped his cheeks in her hands, planting a kiss on his forehead. "Taehyung, how are you doing, my baby? Have you been eating properly? And what about your studies? Are you studying well?"

Just then, her eyes fell on his lips, and she asked in a worried tone, "Oh, Taehyung, what happened to your lips? Are you fine? Did you get into another fight? Please, my baby, don't involve yourself in such things. Try not to let your temper make you act rashly and get hurt."

She was looking at him with teary eyes. He gently removed the tears from her eyes with his thumbs and reassured her, "Don't worry, Mom I'm fine. No one is going to hurt me. It was just a small scuffle. He messed with my friend, that's all."

Then, his eyes fell on his brother, who was already looking at him. His mother continued, "Look, Tae-min was also missing you when we were in the USA. He was desperately waiting to come to Korea to meet you."

Umer and Ahmed both hugged each other, then Ahmed asked his mother, "Mom, how's Aunt Ji-Woo? Is she okay?"

She replied, "Yeah, she has been discharged from the hospital, but the doctor said the baby is still admitted. May Jesus grant him health so he can come back home."

Ahmed hummed in response, and they made their way to the car, driving back to their mansion.

Ahmed's POV

When we reached home, I saw Dad was already in the lounge, working on his laptop. As he saw us, I greeted him by saying, "Assalamualaikum, Dad." He replied, "Walaikum Assalam. Welcome, come sit. Umer, you too." They hugged each other, but Umer didn't greet him with Salam. Then Appa said, "Umer, why didn't you say Salam?"

Umer said, "Oops, sorry Dad, Assalamualaikum. You know everyone in Mom's family is Christian, so I'm not used to greeting anyone with Salam."

Mr. Dawood looked at him with a sad face and calmly said, "Listen, Umer, my child, even if you are the only Muslim in this world, you must not forget the teachings of your Deen. Even if no one is offering Salah, you have to offer it and be firm in your Deen. Salah is the time when you are closest to Allah. Don't ever stay away from Allah, and always follow the teachings of your Deen and fulfill them with your heart."

Mr. Dawood then looked at both of them and placed one hand on Ahmed's shoulder and the other on Umer's. He said, "You both know that your mom is Christian and I am Muslim, and you both are also Muslim as I am. Your mom never interrupted me in this matter. We chose both of your names together. Your mother named you Kim Tae-min and Kim Taehyung, but I chose your Muslim names as Mohammed Umer and Mohammed Ahmed. I never forced your mom to call you by the names I chose, and she never did because the important thing is she gave me the opportunity to choose your religion, which I'm so proud of and grateful to your mother for. She always respected my religion, and so did I."

They both were listening to him very attentively, and their mother was also watching them admiringly. Mr. Dawood continued, "The main point is that you both are Muslims and you must follow Islam properly with your hearts. Never miss your Salah, always ask from Allah, and never bow in front of anyone except Allah. I love my family so much. May Allah bless us with happiness."

They both said together, "Ameen."

Then their mother said, "Come on, boys, now go and give me some time with your Appa. Go freshen up and take some rest, then come for dinner. I'll ask the maid to make something for us."
