After a week

It's been half month since ayat's exam have finished and Sidra and she just talk on the call without any meetings and today is her wedding day.

After the Fajr prayer she got up folding the prayer mat,and kept it on the cupboard,taking out her burkha she start wearing when Anaya came from the bathroom

"Where are you going appi??" Anaya said worriedly looking at her

"Madarsa" she replied after tieing her veil and take her mobile from the table

"But appi,today is your wedding day,you should not go out!" Anaya said and ayat held her steps while turning around she spoke

"It's just 5 minutes work and yeah don't tell ammi,I will just come early" ayat replied hurriedly going out of the bedroom making Anaya confused

She was at madarsa and going with fast footsteps she goes inside the room of sabeeha and saw her sitting "aapa??" Ayat hurriedly said as entering caught-ing sabeeha's attention "arey aayat,you came this time?" She stands up smiling "aapa? Where were you??" She said ignoring her questions and hurriedly came and hugged her while crying

"aayat,what happened??" Sabeeha asked totally backed off by her reaction and also hugged her asking

"Can you imagine how much I missed you,you were so irresponsible??" She said breaking the hug and wiping her tears with her arms like a child making sabeeha to smile at her behaviour.

"Ayat I was stucked at some issues" sabeeha answered looking at her lovingly.

"But still atleast you would have answered my calls?" She said still with a little sob.

"My phone got lost somewhere,and that's why I was unable to talk to you and amma!" Sabeeha answered keeping her hands at Ayat's shoulder while she jerk it off and turned around in Littleanger

"Aayat i was at hospital" Ayat got shocked by this confession and her all anger vanished away she face her with a confused look

"My mother got dead ayat!" Sabeeha replied

"What are you saying aapa? I am not getting anything??" Ayat asked at her verge of crying

"When i was at my friend's house ,I found out about my family and I goes there but when I reached i found out that my mother is taking her last breath,and due to medical issue she suddenly dead" sabeeha explained miserably

"But aapa,you never told about your family to us??" Ayat was curious and sabeeha make her sat on the bed

"So the story start from when I was a 19 year old teenager,and my family was some typical strict family,who were so far away from deen ,
in my house no one did study,not my parents also but I was really interested to study that's why as their only daughter my parents gave me permission to study till graduation and from my childhood they were already selected the groom for me

,my cousin whom I didn't like much but for my parents I was also agreed but I never talked with him nor he ever take any efforts

soon when days passed i completed my graduation and my family start preparing for my wedding but that time I was reading about islaam, because as a typical indians muslim,who themselves were far away from deen ,I never knew much about my religion but when I completed graduation i got urge to learn about my religion and soon with time I started living my life like a Muslimah,you know na how illiberal families are,and my family was also like that,they didn't liked my this much affection towards islaam and they start questioning me about why I cover myself this much? and why I don't talk with my male cousin?,they even start blaming me that I have a relationship with someone that's why I have become de-attached to my cousin and family members,
