Ja'far now cased his bag of water after quenching the thirst of the children.. The gallop of a horse would be heard as they all faced the direction of the sound.. A messenger of the army would ride over to them, slowly dismounting his horse as he walked over to them menacingly. The family gathered together, ready to face the situation head on together, despite the severe outnumberance and all odds being against them.. they wouldn't give up here..
''Ubaidah has ordered your surrender! For no harm to come to you, surrender here and hand over the rightful daughter of the Governor.'' The Messenger stated. Ja'far now turned around as Sufyan and everyone else watched him walk towards Asma. He gave her a warm smile, comforting her despite the situation.. ''Have you ever ran away with a man before?'' The Question sent shock into her body.. nostolgia waving through her body.. ''Jaf'ar..'' She'd begin crying as he laughed, wiping the tears off her face by lifting her veil..
''Then you'll stay hidden with the ones who love you.. My promise to you.. You won't go back to that life you once had..'' Jaf'ar smiled as she continued crying, her tears streaming onto his hand.. He'd now withdraw his sword, spinning and fiercely cutting through the neck of the messenger, his head being taken off from the slash.. and his body slumping to the ground..
Ja'far now turned back to face his family, with Sufyan bravely standing with his brother, the entire family was unified for their final stand against the oppressors..
Sana would run up to her father, slamming against her leg as she would try to force him to get on a knee.. Ja'far looked down at his desperate daughter, emotions flushing over him.. He'd get on a knee as his daughter backed up, now running into him and hugging him.. Begging him not to leave.. ''Stay baba! Don't go!'' She'd cry on his shoulder.. ''Don't leave us!'' His son shouted in the back.. The family couldn't hold back tears anymore.. As Sufyans children begged him as well.. And the brothers of Zayneb were crowded by their crying sisters as they exchanged embraces.. ''Little one.. Allah will reunite us.. Don't you worry..'' He'd brush her hair with his finger.. Kissing her forehead..
Jaf'ar now stood up, removing his knee from the ground below as he now faced Sufyan and the Brothers of Zayneb.. ''My Lions.. My dearest brothers! Fighting in the name of Allah awaits us! We shall defend our families! Against clear oppression! Surely Allah will humiliate the wrongdoers!'' The men now cheered with Jaf'ar as he now walked up to his beloved brother Sufyan.. The two did not even hesitate for a second..
They embraced each other almost instantly.. Displaying their brotherhood.. ''Even in death..'' Jaf'ar waited for Sufyan to finish the sentence.. ''Brothers..'' Sufyan said, in a confident tone..
