GOOD WOMEN ARE FOR GOOD MEN

Chapter 6

Noura's wedding

Zaina's POV

Right now noura is getting her henna, hair and make up done, She looks breathtaking. Well for now because she will soon start crying and she will look like a zombie, I know for a fact you will not like to see a crying noura.

She wore a light green traditional dress, with a loose skirt decorated with yellow embroidery and has a yellow belt right under the chest. Then her hijab was designed beautifully. We got ready and head to the vehicle which soon took off to the masjid.

When we arrived, we waited for a few minutes then the imam started the ceremony. He recited some verses and post the question, I was sat beside noura. When brother uthman was asked he replied happily three times causing everyone to laugh including the bride.

Noura's dad accepted, but when noura was asked she stated crying. I squeeze her hand to calm her down, we gave her a few minutes and she gave her answer.

"I do" she cried, everyone hugged and congratulated each other.

Then we left for the walima reception. It was held in a hotel, the whole place was decorated with green and yellow, there was a stage decorated with a sofa at the center for the bride and groom, The groom wore a yellow traditional gown with green design. The women and men were separated. Women on the left and men on the right, the two place were separated with the children table. Ma sha Allah

I and the girls join in serving food to the guests.
"zaina can I have a Turkey leg" basma's mum smiled
"Aunt huda here you go" I smiled back.
"You really are a nice girl dear" she complimented.
"Jazakallah" I pick up a cup that a child throw towards us.

"I will join the mothers there okay" I nod and she walk toward them.

Basma came and ask us to go to noura she was alone on the stage, so we went.

"Hi bride" Aisha tease.

We sat beside her, took pictures and talked non stop, till it was time for her to leave with her hubby.

"Time to go with you hubby" I teased.

"Don't call us for two weeks" basma added.

We did a group hug and uthman came and took our princess away.

I sat with aunt huda, basma, Aisha, Aisha's mum and noura's mum. A man walked towards us, I lower my gaze.

He talked to basma and aunt huda, they said their salam and left with him, 10 minute later I left, noura has now completed half of her deen.

Huda's POV

Its been a week since noura's wedding, I received a text from an unknown number to meet the individual at the park beside my house. For a moment I was scared but I made it here.

I waited for the unknown individual patiently, soon a car stop right in front of me, my heartbeat raise as I saw the individual step out of the car, he walked towards me his figure towering above me, I couldn't believe my eye and I froze in my spot looking at him, trembling with fear, it was a bad idea coming in the first place for I fear whats in front of me.

"Aunt huda, I taught you wouldn't make it but I guess I was wrong" he said making me shiver.

"W...what do you want" I stammered making him laugh.
"Come on its been what five years and this is how you welcome me" he took out a cigarette from his pocket and light it, I remained silent fear curling all over me.

"Idriss is back?" My head snap at the mention of my son's name and he laugh at my reaction.

"Well you know am not a patient person and you know what I want" he blew smoke on my face,"you know what am capable of doing" he threaten

"Haven't you done enough" I spat on his face feeling my blood boiling with anger.

"But I haven't got to your son......yet" he tilt his head on the side.

"No no no" I repeated shaking my head rapidly as tears rush down NY cheeks.

"To late I have been patient enough" I looked in his eyes and they were as dark as coal.

"I hope you get my message clear and hopefully you will do something about it" he put his cigarette in his mouth and laugh as he head back to his car.

"See you soon aunt" he said as if he was disgusted pronouncing aunt.

When he finally left l collapsed on the naked ground crying my heart out, I have been running away from this for a long time, all the memories came back fresh in my mind and the pain was open in my heart again. I taught I have gotten him save but I was wrong and now he has to fight for his right, but how am I gonna tell him the truth, all the secrets I've been keeping all his life. I can't do this alone, Ahmad was on my side before and I know we will go through this together.

I stood up, dust myself, took few deep breaths and went back home, I will have to wait till we are alone I can't risk the children finding out now.

Later that day

"Ahmad" I whisper, tears felling freely, he rush to my side of the bed and pull me in a hug, his scent intoxicating me.
"Hayati what's wrong? Why are you crying?" He ask concern showing all over his face as he pull back.

"He's back" I choked and he pull me back in his chest.

"Who Habibti who?" He rock me back and forth.

"Ali he's back" I cried harder and at the mention of his name my husband froze pulling back slowing and looking in my eyes, his face taken an angry expression, he should be angry Ali has destroyed our lifes enough but he seems not to be satisfied until he has everything he wants.

He stood up and walked beside the dresser and punch the wall causing me to jump. He ran his hand in his hair breathing heavily, his veins popping out of his neck.

"How dare he come back" he punch the wall again.
"I taught the battle was over but I was wrong, Ahmad he has come back for idriss, what do I do am scared?" he look at me and his eyes soften.

He pull me back in his chest and we stayed like that in silent till he broke it "we will have to tell him, this is his battle now, not ours" as scary as that sound its the truth, its his right he has to fight this battle on his own.

I knew Ahmad will help and am grateful to Allah for sending me a wonderful husband."I know" I replied and we stayed like that till I fell asleep.
