Malik's POV
Maya always stood by the door, awaiting her mom to arrive but she never did.I carried her to the hall and showed her a video muina made for her.
Muina told her that she was at Disney heaven trying to get Maya a ticket to come with her.She said immediately she got the ticket, she would come back.
Maya was very excited when she saw the video.We had decided to tell Maya when she turned seven years old.
Seven years,the years muina lived.She was given three yet outlived it to seven.This is Allah's doing, during the extra five years,she achieved her two dreams.
One was to find love and get married,two was to become the mother to a baby girl.She accomplished those dreams before she died.
Allah is indeed kind and merciful.There was a knock,I went to get it.It was farouk holding a bouquet of flowers.
Farouk: look I need to speak to muina
Malik:she is dead(he froze)
Farouk:but it can't be
Malik:she was given three years remember? You were eagerly awaiting those three years to pass,so that you could marry another, either way you got upset that she wasn't dead yet after the three years,so you went ahead and married anyway and even divorced her.
Farouk: I made a mistake
Malik:a mistake? A simple mistake? Do you remember when she coughed out blood? When she couldn't even walk? How dizzy she was yet,you forced her to get up.Do you remember how she laid on the floor all bloodied? She had asked for your help but instead you looked disgusted and called her a liar? You broke her heart by revealing that you had another woman and wanted to marry her.
(Tears came down farouk's face)
Farouk:am sorry
Malik:go back to your wife
