His Queen

Chapter Thirty

Amal's POV.

"Amal my dear it really is you" an older lady who was wearing a red dress walks up to me, the closer she got the more I was capable of seeing the many white hairs that remained proudly on her head.

Mashallah.

"Father you have many grey hairs on you why don't you pluck them?" touching my fathers moustache I try to pluck his white hairs, but before I could do that, he grabbed my head and shakes his head. Giving him a confused face I opened my mouth to ask why but he beat me to it.

"Because In Islam it is haram to pluck your beard, however it is Makrooh (disliked) to pluck your moustache and the hair on your head." He says as he proudly starts to play with his hair.

"It is stated that our prophet Mohammed PBUH stated that 'Grey hair is the light of the believer; no man turns grey in islam but for each grey hair he will have one Hasana ( good deed) and he will be raised in status one degree' bringing my hand up to his face I slowly started to cherish his face as a smile brought its way onto my face.

"I can't want until I have white hair, I will cherish each hair as if it was my baby" hearing that my father started to laugh as he started to kiss me all over my face.

"Amal are you listening to me" shaking my head I quickly started to remove that memory from my mind for the time being as I looked at the ladies infront of me.

"Salam aunties, Yes it is me but do I know you?" The ladies looked sad to hear that I didn't know who they were, but as quickly as sadness formed it's way into their face happiness followed.

"Yes it's me Aunty Ranya and she is Aunty Sumaya, I use to come over all the time since me and your mother were really close" the moment I heard her speak of my mother my eyes lit up as I said 'really?' She nods her head at me as she smiles. Bringing her hand up she engulfed me in a tight hug that left me trying to forcefully inhale oxygen into my lungs, after just five seconds of her hugging me.

At first she was speaking of how thankful she was of seeing me again before she suddenly starts to cry, although I couldn't see her face, I could hear her loudly crying next to my ear, as hiccups left her mouth every once in a while.

"We thought you all were dead, although your body wasn't found we thought you were also dead" she says in between crying, I didn't know to react to that so I just stood frozen not able to say or do anything.

"Ranya come on this is not the time to do this, this is meant to be a happy day" Aunty Sumaya said to Aunty Ranya as she slowly pulls Aunty Ranya away from me, looking at Aunty Ranyas face I saw her eyes filled with tears as they trailed down her eyes.

"Don't cry everything that happened is in the past and those who are at wrong will get punished" I said to Aunty Ranya as I brought my hand up to her face and wiped her tears.

"Mashallah you have grown into such a beautiful and  strong girl" Aunty Sumaya says, smiling at them I took my hand away from her cheeks and but them down on my side as I thanked her.

"Come on Ranya lets go get you freshened up, while she goes and says Salam to the other guests."  Aunty Ranya nods her head as they excuse themselves.

Standing on the same spot I didn't know what I should do or who i should talk to since I didn't know anyone in this room other then Mariam and Salma and I didn't have any plans to talk to neither one of them.
