The Pious lady

Family over Everything

I walked into the room quitely trying very hard to hide My excitement."Assalamu Alaikum you are welcome "I greeted the four smiling faces looking at me.The person I think is my uncle cleared his voice and motioned for me to come and seat beside him"wa alaikumussalam habibty.You look gorgeous mashaa Allah how old are you?"he politely asked" I will soon turn eighteen sir"I shyly answered."that's good mashaa Allah ,meet my wife Maryam ,my son Abdulhafiz and my daughter who is the same age as you Fatima"I looked at all of them and smiled.Uncle Mustapha narrated the story of how before his father died told him the story of his long lost brother and how he started looking for my mother until he is certain that she's the one.My mom also told him our story and I was surprised that she told him about aunty khadeejah ,the kidnap,fire incident and robbery.He promised to help us find her and he promised to take us to visit our other relatives."Siddika why don't you take Abdulhafiz to meet zaid then you take Fatimato your room"umma says"okay ma"I answered and they followed me."it's nice to finally meet you siddika and I am sorry life has been so hard on you"Abdulhafiz symphatized ."it's ok bro ,we are often tested by Allah and life is not always a bed of roses"I smiled at him.he looked at me thoughtfully and smiled back."who am I seeing like Abdulhafiz Mustapha?"I very excited voice which happens to be zaid's echoed through the hallway.Abdulhafiz turned towards the voice and to my surprise he ran full speed and hugged zaid tightly as if his life depends on him.Fatima and I shared curious looks and we all laughed ."do you know each other?"I asked."yes he was my best friend at the university"zaid answered"oh okay,how comes you've never told me about him"I feigned looking angry."sorry habibty we lost contact after graduation I haven't seen him until today"They went on narrating how they used to be at school and the reason why they lost contact is that Abdulhafiz went abroad for further studies.He is also a medical doctor like Zaid."you guys should catch up on lost time and I will get to know my sweet sis here"I said and dragged Fatima to my room.

I spent a lot of time with Fatima she is very nice and friendly .We ate and prayed and she suggested that we should watch a movie .I gave her my laptop to browse through and choose the one she will like to watch.She ended up choosing Vampire diaries her favorite TV series as she says.As we were watching TVD Billy and Zahrah barged into the room shouting on top of their voices that Fatima is not my sister only,she's their sister too."I brought you something cute new sis"Billy says excitedly"and what will that be?"Fatima asked amused"ohh it's a little something from a caring sister like me to an adorable sister like you"Billy answered back with dreamy eyes.Zahrah and I are just laughing at them but deep inside I am happy ,I feel blessed and complete to have them all.We played a lot of games and begged Fatima to sleep over but uncle Mustapha and aunty Maryam said that they have already decided that Billy ,zahrah and I should go to their house and spend a week so that they will get to know me better.We gladly accepted and packed our clothes.Zaid and Abdulhafiz drove us to Fatima's house but Billy is not her usual self he looked tensed and deep in thought.I scooted closer toward her and whispered in her ear"what's wrong boo boo bear, who spoiled your mood?"I asked but to my surprise she burst into tears and hugged me.I hugged her back soothing her"shhhhh don't cry dear,everything is going to be alright.stop crying and we will discuss whatever is bothering you at home okay?"she nodded and lean her head on my shoulder playing with the hem of my hijab.
"Girls we have a problem here"I said as soon as we entered the large bedroom which happens to be Fatima's.They all turned their attention towards me ."Billy what's wrong with you dear?"I asked her."I don't know what to tell you guys,I don't even know if I will be able to say it out loud,my life has been turned upside down" she cried" just tell us whatever it is dear,we will help you to the best of our ability in shaa Allah.we are here for you and you know that" zahrah stated."Faisal broke up with me without any reason .He said he found another girl that he likes and I mean nothing to him"Billy says with tears in her eyes.We were all shocked because it was so unexpected how can he do such to her?"come here ,don't stress yourself over this,you guys are not meant for each other and there is nothing you or I can do about it and in shaa Allah it is for the best ,am sure Allah has better plans for you and it is not your fault.Though your heart has been broken I know that you are a strong girl you will get over it before you know it"I soothed still hugging her and patting her back."he actually don't deserve you ,you deserve better than him and I pray that its for the best"Says Fatima."I'm speechless dear, I don't even know what to say but I'm sure that looser has lost a diamond and picked a stone.cheer up and be happy it is not the end of the world"zahrah says with an angry tune which is rare because she hardly gets angry.We went out to the dinning area and eat dinner then we tried our best to cheer Billy up which works a little bit .I texted Zaid and informed him of what is going on,he was angry as expected and he said he will call Faisal ,I asked him not to ,"just let him be dear,since he don't want her anymore so be it.Allah will replace him with a better person for her" "Alright habibty ,I think you are right."
Zaid's POV
I was so angry at faisal how can he break my sister's heart just like that? How can he play with her heart and go Scott free."hey man what's up?"Abdulhafiz asked ."you know my sister bilkisu right?her boyfriend just broke up with her and our parents knew about him because he asked for their permission before he started seeing her and she is broken right now"I worriedly answered him."its okay bro,Allah knows best"Abdulhafiz said and I feel a little better .I hope she is fine ,I love my sister and I don't want anything or anyone to hurt her .
