Oh soul,
you worry too much.
You have seen your own strength.
You have seen your own beauty.
You have seen your golden wings.
Of anything less,
why do you worry?
You are in truth
the soul, of the soul, of the soul.

~ Rumi

"Areesha" baba voiced again making me jump with fear 

"Yes baba" I turned keeping my gaze low.

"Come sit with your baba ,how long it has been" he said softly making my head jolt towards him.

Is this real

"Come beta he patted the place beside him" as I stood rooted to the ground not believing my ears as his words echoed around me.

"Areesha" he called again as.I didn't move

I was afraid to take a step thinking everything will break if I dared.

"Do you not want to sit with me" he spoke

"Baba" I whispered sitting beside him as tears found there Way out .

"Why is my daughter crying?"

"Baba I.didn't do anything"I chocked

"I.would never do it ,it wasn't me baba I am.not like that you know me baba your respect comes before everything baba I didn't do it it wasn't me" I rambled.without wasting a minute

"Come" he smiled.as he opened his arms

Alhumdulilah.

Hugging him tight I cried my heart out all those months not even seeing him was a torture enough.

"Bas bas.Areesha I believe you my daughter.shh stop my doll" baba patted my head lovingly.

Finding a little affection after so long my heart wasn't ready to let go as tears were free from the cage of lashes

"Areesha bas my doll" look at your baba.

Sniffing I detached my head from his chest.

"Tell me Areesha than why didn't you come to me before?" he asked as he cleaned my tears.

"I.I thought you wouldn't believe me" I hiccuped as he gave me water.

"Calm down my life I can't see you like this."

"You know, my heart believed my daughter cannot do like this but I waited for your conformation everyday but you even  stopped  coming infront of me which made  me suspicious

"But still  ignoring everything I called you  twice my doll but that also didn't went well ,i just needed to know through you beta that you didn't do it.I believe my daughter above any evidence.I know" he looked at me as I layed my head on his chest again

"Why didn't you come to your.baba" he whispered.

"T t hat night you told me that yy ou  don't believe me ."

"That night no one was in right mind everyone was shocked but.I.never said I.Don't believe you,I only said that I was ashamed because you were pointing it on Umar without thinking"

"I am sorry baba",I sniffed.

"I didn't like the way you accused Umar beta he cannot do like that I know you pointed him because you don't like him.?"

"Hmm" I nodded

"And beta this is your father's words I will not pressurize you for any proposal.Your happiness is above anything."
