Today's word: Fi Aman Allah (In protection of Allah)
When saying farewell.

After much persuation, he agreed to let me drive and not take the guards with us. I thought of going to Hagia Sophia but in lieu I turned for the sea side restaurant where he remained busy with his cell phone saying his secretary didn't inform him about the mail check previously. Therefore, I got bored.
When we reached home, Javaad's stepmother was sitting in the living area. She passed a smile seeing us. This is the first time I met her after the Nikah. Seeing her, I instantly left Javaad's hand and sat on the nearby sofa to her.

'Assalamualaikum, Mrs.Suraiyah'. I kiseed her hands. She smiled at me. 'I see that you two are getting along. I am happy for both of you.' She caressed my cheeks. Javaad also settled near me.
'What brings you here?' He asked coolly.

'Can't I come to see how my children are doing?' She asked squeezing her cheeks.

'Sure you can, anytime.' Javaad air quoted the sentence. She got a call and then she left. I persuaded her to stay but she was having an important work. She is a kind lady, I thought. Javaad has told me that she lives mostly in a hotel suite but she comes to the mansion whenever she wants. She is like a mother figure for me, she surely loves Javaad even if he is her step son.
After she left, Javaad also went to his work. At night, as he has said I massaged his head.

I am fasting today, first day of Ramadan. Thanks to Feyza, she reminded me and woke me up for suhur. In the past days, i started praying regularly, I have set reminder on my phone for all the five prayers and it helped. But due to my laziness, i couldn't make up for Fajr daily. But the thing that saddens me is that Javaad doesn't pray at all. I asked him once and he just ignored me. O ALLAH. Please give him guidance. I don't know what is in his heart but you know eveything ,the deepest of the deepest secrets.
I yawned and felt sleep engulfing me. I saw the time on my phone, ummm.... i could take a nap, there is one hour for Zuhr prayer. I rested my back on the lounge and felt my eyelids getting heavy.
Javaad entered his room and saw his alluring wife sleeping peacefully. In the past few days, he wasn't able to give time to her, perks of being the owner of the top company of Turkey. He sat on the carpeted floor and find himself lost in the beauty of his Rose. A sound took him out of his trance, he looked at the side table to saw his wife's cell phone making the sound. He knew what it is, reminder for prayer. He stood up and stopped it. He then traced back to his previous spot.
'Rose...Rose...wake up.' He gently coaxed her.

Lazily I opened my eyes. He was sitting on the floor cross legged and his both hands were besides me. Is he depressed? He doesnt look well.
'What happened?' I asked sitting and straightening my dress. He just nodded his head in a no. I cupped his face with both hands and lifted his head to see his face. His face looked pained. I sat besides him. I couldn't take it. I haven't seen him like this before. 'Javaad, what's the matter?' I engulfed him in a hug.
