It had been exactly one month and six hours from the incident and a lot has changed since then. Tahseen had come from America and according to her there was more to life than sulking....
Quoting her exact words would be 'whatever has left you just let it go be like a puppy who has lost his toy, run around and look for it, you may never know you might end up finding a new toy,the best is yet to come Zeba! '
Though she was married she still gave the weirdest of examples!
Tahseen was appointed by Aminah bhabi to take care of me in her absence. And this girl had taken her job way too seriously.
I had graduated from school with very good grades alhumdulillah (all praise be to Allah)! That had been possible only because of Allah's mercy my mother's determination.
She would sit by my side while i studied, would wake me up during tahajjud time( the time for prayer before sunrise) and forced me to study, get notes from all her friends children and bought me the best reference books thus all her attempts and sacrifices of her sleep had payed off in the end! :)
But after mom's appointment with the creater I had given up on everything. .... I didnt want to go out or do anything , I just wanted to be left alone with my own thoughts. But there was no way Tahseen would allow me to do that.
She had got admission for me in one of the reputed colleges that was located near our home.
"zeeebbbbbrrrraaaa didiiii!!!", a small figure came running to me, while knocking a bunch of things down.. he came and grabbed me in a tight hug almost banging his head into my nose...
Jaffu!!!! I yellped, one look at his adorable face melted all my sorrow.... how are you???, I asked ruffling his hair, mashallah his hair was so soft.. I could play with it all day!
Jaffar was Tahseen's son. Jaffu and Talib bro had come from America today as soon as jaffu's holidays had started.
Talib bro was my dad's brother's son and Tahseen was my mom's sister's daughter so basically they were my beloved first cousins!! They had planned to live with us till jaffu's holidays ended.
Before Jaffar could start his tale of what all he ate in the aeroplane and show me all the toys he had got. Tahseen came in, she smiled and hugged her cute little possession.
" Asslamualaikum ammi!!, u know what happened on the way I saw a huge toy store they had all the transformer toys!! Can we go there and check it out plsss!!" , he pleaded in his kiddish voice with the american accent. Tahseen nodded," in shaa allah, now go wash yourself and get dressed your dirty..
"Okay ammi!", he trotted of humming something...
Tahseen turned to me and said, I didn't tell him about it I just told that Zeenath khala (a hindi word to address mother's sister) went to meet her friend! .
All of a sudden she gave a wide grin, "well its actually true! Zee u should accept that too and believe that in shaa allah u will meet khala in jannah..
"That was really consoling, Jazakallahu khaira Tee!", I gave her a bear hug. And she shook me sideways during the hug childishly. Really she was the awesomest sis I have ever had!!
