The Pious lady

It's Too Late To Cry

"Assalamu Alaikum dearie how are you doing?"I clutched my phone tightly because I was going through my notes and I really can't endure not speaking to my zaid anymore."wa alaikumussalam habibty am fine just missing you so much it hurts .I wish I can fly just to see your angelic face right now"I flushed and smiled "alright,how far have you gone?please come back soon,I miss you too"I pouted even though he can't see me "soon in shaa Allah,in three days time probably".I smiled and danced inwardly,I'm gonna see him soon yay!"siddy dear,are you still there?" Yahsalam,I just forgot about him and dived into dreamland, I'm crazy aren't I?"yeah I am,I will call you later okay?I'm kinda busy with school stuff right now ,take care, love you"I answered him " love you too " he says and we hang the call.
I heard muffled voices downstairs and because I'm so into my books,I can't go out to see who it was.I turned my attention to the case I'm studying when suddenly umma came into my room crying." Subhanallah,umma what is wrong? What happened? Did someone died? " I got up from my seat and engulfed her in a hug.she sobbed for a long time before she finally composed herself ." khadeejah is in custody with Aliyu.your uncle had them followed and they arrested her yesterday,Siddiqah your father did not die because of heart attack, he was poisoned by his best friend Aliyu whom your aunt paid to carry out the act for her. As for the company and assets the police have confiscated the documents from her and they are going to investigate thoroughly on it_" I was stunned ,I started crying and wondering what kind of sister my father have that can do such ,and what kind of friend he has that can overlook their friendship and poison him.Ohh dearest father I pray,hope and wish you are in a better place." Inna lillahi wa inna ilaihi raji'un!so Dad was poisoned? We were deprived of having a complete family ,a better and comfortable life just because of khadeejah, umma I don't think this woman will ever regret what she has done,its too late for her, how can a sane person kill his own brother?" I wailed with tears in my eyes."shhh sweetheart,stop crying Allah is with those who have faith in him,everything is going to be fine,not today or tomorrow but eventually"umma soothed with a smile.I dried my tears and we prayed for my father,she went out to talk with Billy's mom and I can't concentrate on my studies anymore,so I went into the toilet ,made ablution and faced the qiblah to tell The One Who Knows everything and Who hears and answers our prayers.I prayed for a long time and recited some chapters of the Quran.My phone blinked indicating i have a missed call .It was samaad I decided to call him back because no matter what happened he is my brother and he helped me times without number.
" Assalamu Alaikum Samaad how are you doing"I waited for his reply but I can only hear faint sound of sobs"yah salaam samaad are you crying?please don't cry,everything is going to be fine,I'm here,umma is here ,you have us and above all Allah"I felt very bad for him,poor boy,his mom cheated his life."I'm so sorry Siddy,I know that I don't have the right to call you,but I have no one to talk to."he sobbed"it's okay Samaad,I'm here just tell me what is bothering you"I said calmly .
"I didn't know that she was responsible for your father's death until yesterday,I only knew that we live a life of luxury with your money and I left her,I left home and now she has been arrested,I really want to hate her, but no matter how hard I tried I still feel sad because she is my mother! I don't know what to feel anymore Siddy! I'm lost!"he cried out in frustration. All the anger,all the hurt and all the grudges I had held unto him disappeared into thin air,I saw a lost vulnerable boy who is lost and misguided and who need a friend ."shhh samaad don't cry, don't forget that Allah test us with different calamities at different times,not because he don't love us but because he want to test our imaan and if we hold on and never loose faith ,we pass the test and become among his beloved servants. Your mother has done so many bad terrible things in her life,she has misguided people and manipulated them and now she is facing the consequences. You should be happy and thankful that even though you are her son,you have a good heart and deep inside you know that what she's doing is not good,just that it is beyond your control. Stop beating yourself over it and keep praying. You can come oveif you want to .but please stop beating yourself over what is not your fault.she choosed to be evil and she's paying for it.I know it is hard but it gets better with time"I adviced.He sighed and thanked me"I'm lucky to have you in my life Siddy,you are too kind I wonder why you dont have a perfect happy life,your words give me courage and I have no home better than that of yours. I will be there in an hour please clear out my new room for me" I laughed and dashed downstairs to inform umma,she smiled and said she is okay with it and we can't afford to loose another family member .I cleared out the guest room for him while umma cooked dinner.To my aunt it is too late ,but to us,it is a new beginning to start a beautiful happy life .
