The Fragile Heart Of A Muslimah

Chapter Fourteen

Al imam Ibn al-Jawzi رحمه الله stated
تلاوة القرآن، تعمل في أمراض الفؤاد ما يعمله العسل في علل الأجساد .
*"The recitation of the Qurān does to the sicknesses of the heart that which honey does to the ailments of the bodies."*
« التبصـرة "صـ ٧٩»

"My mum will be here in some minutes" Abu Hurairah said not looking up from his laptop and likewise, I didn't bother to reply.

His dad is a brother to Abdul Azeez's mum.

I was about to fall asleep when the door bell rang. I watched him stood up and walked out of the room before I followed him.

"And who told you that I'm here to see you. I'm here for my daughter" I heard Abu Hurairah's mum said. I walked into the sitting room and to my surprise, Abdul Azeez's mum is also here. A huge smile appeared on my face before I pulled her into a hug.

Wallahi I missed her so much.

"You silly, you promise to always visit but that was a lie" She said breaking the hug and I smiled.

"I'm sorry Ummy" I said and she nod before hugging me one more time.

"Azeemah will you allow me to also hug my daughter in law now" My mother in law said and Ummy groaned before breaking the hug.

After Abdul Azeez's death, Ummy hasn't been like before. She had really changed a lot and had been having health issues.

"Where are your cats Adam" His mum asked after we all settled down.

Adam is popularly known as Abu Hurairah due to his love for cats and the rate at which he adopts them. If I'm not exaggerating, he has up to twenty of them with different breeds and he even name them all. A week into our marriage, I was able to identify eight of them.

"Probably in the garden" He said and just then Harris and Safa strolled in. The two are inseparable. According to the maid, they've produced different offsprings but Abu Hurairah had given them out for adoption and only left two.

Abu Hurairah and his mum left the room leaving me with Ummy.

"Is he treating you well?" Was the first thing Ummy asked.

Moving on is the hardest decision I had made in my life but right now I'm not regretting it. Abu Hurairah might not love me but he do care about me. I can still remember the long conversation we had on our wedding night. He himself told me not to forget Abdul Azeez but he want me to put my past behind and focus on the present. I had accepted Abu Hurairah as my husband but I still find myself comparing him with Abdul Azeez in everything he does including during intimacy. I was really surprised when Abu Hurairah asked for intimacy the day after the Nikkah. I wanted to refuse but I know it is one of the duties I have to perform as a wife.

"Saniyah" I looked up to see Ummy looking at me with an unknown emotion on her face.

"I'm fine Ummy. He's treating me well" I said and she sighed in relief.

"Alhamdulillah" She said before placing a kiss on my forehead.

"So why are you here in Dubai?" I asked

"Your Abby said I needed a vacation so I've been exploring different countries and decided to visit you" Ummy said and I smiled

"So what do you want to eat? I'm preparing anything you want" I said standing up and she shook her head.

She followed me to the kitchen and together we prepared a meal while she tell me about the whole family. She also told me that Hikmah will be getting married in three months time but so as to prevent Zina, they did a small aqeedun-Nikkah.
