Take off your Hijab (Rewriting)

And then He lied to me✅

"If you may have gotten hurt in the past, please don't allow that to keep you away from your future which might be filled with nothing but happiness

Third persons POV

"So Does Sam know about this?" Amal asks softly

"No" Zach states

"Then why are telling me when you barely know me?" she asks him obviously confused and to be honest, she isn't the only one wondering about that to be honest, he is too.

"I just... I dunno, maybe I just feel like I can trust you not to spread my story to others" he confides, his voice wavering as he looks up at her. But she quickly averts her gaze; his eyes are so intense and blue that she feels she might drown in those if she doesn't look away. She silently thanks God for the rule about lowering your gaze, grateful for the shield that it provides against his piercing stare.

"Oh... okay, so what happened when you woke up for the second time?" she inquires, her voice strained with an undercurrent of unease. She desperately wishes he would look away; she hates feeling like a specimen under a microscope, his eyes dissecting her every reaction.

"My parents were there, so was my sister and grandma but I allowed my sister and grandma to hug me but I refused my mom and dad told the doctor I didn't want to see them" Zach trails of a while Amal just patiently waits for him to go on.

"My sister told me that Omar, my brother barely made it to the hospital before he had passed away and that I was lucky that I was pulled out of the car before it exploded due to fire" Zach Says, the pain very clear in his voice Amal heart and resolve shatters at the mere sound of it.

"Innalilahi was INA ilahi rajihun" Amal mutters to herself but I heard Zach raise a brow

"Ina-What?, sorry what language did you just speak?" Zach questions, his wide eyes appearing to be filled up with curiosity, because even though he knows that he himself is multi lingual, he could swear that he has never heard that language before in his life.

"it's My language... kinda " she says shyly

"Oh?, well that's quite new but interesting, so what's the meaning of what you said earlier on?" he inquires curiously.

"We shall surely belong to God and to Him we shall return" She responds effortlessly, making Zach frown as he tries to make sense of what she had just said.

"Oh, you really believe that there is someone or something out there?" he inquires with a frown as he looks up at the sky, trying to make sense of her words.

"Yes, I believe there's a creator of this world and the universe, and I also believe that He resides somewhere up there," Amal says with a serene smile, her gaze fixed on the sky shimmering like a diamond.

"But you have never seen him or her or it, so how can you be so sure about this belief of yours?" Zach asks making her smile in reply.

I mean, its obvious that he doesn't intend to be rude, but it's not his fault that he was raised to believe that everything in the world had originated from science and nature, not from another divine being out there.

"You don't have to see Him directly, but you can observe the signs of His existence and mercy in the moon, the stars, the earth, and beyond," Amal explains gently but trails off half way as if suddenly hit by a realization . "I'm sorry, I sometimes forget that you identify as an atheist." She says in an apologetic tone, noticing the way he gazes at her with nothing but curiosity, almost looking similar to a clueless child, who discovering something new, with no little to judgement in his gaze, however from the panic on her face, it was obvious that she had misunderstood his silence, she was so used to others bashing her beliefs to the point that by expressing it she felt like she was disrupting the peace that she heavily craves for.
