Suhyla's P.O.V
"Suh, I'm going to miss you so much" Sunais said with glossy eyes, but no tear fell, while I looked like an english man who just ate Jalapeño, I was red as a tomato from crying my eyes out.
"Nais, please don't go" I pleaded with a shaky voice,"You promised that we'll grow old together, build a house and have kids that will play in our humongous backyard"
"I did. And we will" he stated
"Remember how we met" I smiled remembering, "I never thought I'll see you again, but it turned out you were living right next door, literally" he gestured.
"The way Allah fated our reunion, that's how he's going to bring us back together" he said with a reassuring smile.
"Now show me that life saving smile of yours", I smiled
"There it Is. That smile that made me fall" I chuckled and he grinned.
Leave it to Nais to cheer me up, he always manages to do so, it's scary a times.
"Suhyla!"
"Sunais!, come out, you're going to miss your flight" Jadda yelled from outside.
"We're coming" Nais yelled back.
"Promise........promise me, you won't forget me Suh" he said with a serious look, I nodded, cleaning my face, "over the time we'll be apart"
"I promise. Please promise me you won't forget me either".
"How could I ever" he smiled down at me. "Life would lose all it's beauty, without your beautiful smile", I blushed "I don't think you can get any redder than this humaira" my family like calling me humaira, because I blush a lot.
I pouted "stop making fun of me".
He chuckled "Never, now lets go, before Tete Marwa comes in and drags us out", we both laughed at that, knowing she definitely would if we stay longer. Leave it to my grandmother to be a little bit dramatic.

Once we were out, we received a scolding look from Jadda and Nafisah who sighed annoyed "Ah!, finally".
"We're out, calm down" I said
"Do we get to say our goodbyes now" she said looking at me.
"He's all yours" I gestured to Nais.
"I'm going to miss you Superman" she hugged him.
"me too princess" he hugged my soon to be ten year old sister back.
"Please take care of her" he gesturing towards me "for me, okay?!"
She nodded, "I will".
They had a weird relationship, ever since he saved her from "a big eyed spider that wanted to eat her whole", as she soo dramatically likes to put it. Hence the name "Superman" and hers Princess.
Jadda and Jadda Anisa prayed for him and gave him some du'as for his journey, scolded him about praying on time, it's importance and what not.
Jaddo fazu had to remind them he had a flight to catch, before they hugged him, bid their goodbyes with teary eyes.
Before he went into the car, he turned to me "Don't forget your promise".
I nodded, not trusting my voice. Then he went into the car and jaddo fazu drove off.
I didn't move from my spot until the car was out of sight. Then I came crashing down with Tears.
All three ladies came to sooth me, but that only made me sob harder.
*********
I don't think I've ever been this sad, not even when baba told Nafisah and I that we'd be living with our grandmother, due to Mama's ill state.
Because I was sure I'd see them again inshallah but this time, I wasn't sure of seeing him again and that scared and broke my heart. It hurts so bad, I cleared away the tear that fell.
Sunais and I didn't use to get along in the beginning because, he was soo full of himself or at least that's what I thought. That was a year ago when he first came to live with his maternal grandparents.
But, I've seen his kind and caring side.
I loved it when he read the Qur'an to me, he read it with so much care and passion, with perfect Tajweed ( pronunciation).
I always liked listening to his Kira'a (recitation) because, he did it with such grace.
He wasn't perfect, but he was perfect for me.
I hope one day I would be a hafiza too, and be able to read the Qur'an with as much grace as he does.
Jadda came in cutting my train of thoughts, "ah! Habibti, there you are"
She came into the room and sat next to me on the window seat. Immediately I laid my head on her lap.
No matter how much I going to miss Nais, I was sure his family missed him more.
Thinking of his family, made me miss my parents. "Everything is going to work out inshallah" Jadda said, and started to stroke my hair with her hand, I love it when she did that because, Mama used to do it all the time, it made me feel at home.
"I miss Mama" I said
"I miss her too habibti"she said,
"your mother is one of the strongest women I know".
"And Allah doesn't forsake his servant's habibti, she'll get through it with his help inshallah".
My mother was diagnosed with mild Polyneuropathy almost two years ago, which is the inflammation of the nerves, resulting to low plasma presence in the body, which is the reason why we are staying with our paternal grandmother. But thankfully it can be treated Alhamdulillah.
My grandmother and mother are so alike and very close, it's sometimes hard to believe that Mama isn't her Daughter, baba often gets jealous of their relationship.
"I know. I'm just sad about not being with her" I said.
"Remember habibti, Innallaha ma'as sabirin (Allah is with those who exercise patience)".
This brought easy to my heart. There was a long chapter of silence, before Jadda spoke again.
"Come on now, lets go eat. Before your sister finishes the food", she shook her head and continued "it's a miracle, she's still thin" she said more to herself making me laugh.
I stood up and followed Jadda out of the room, with only one thought, my promise to Sunais and I prayed that Allah would give me the strength to keep it.
