The Sweet lie or Bitter truth

Chapter 14

Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said:
"I met prophet Ibrahim (Alaihissalam) on the night journey (through the heavens) and he said to me,
" Ya Rasoolullah ! Give my Salaam to your Ummah and tell them that Jannah is a wide plain with pure soil and sweet water and the plants grow there by saying " Subuhanallah, Alhamdulillah, Lailaaha illallahu wa Allahu Akbar"
                       
                          ~ Thirmidhi

Fazwan's POV:

           SubuhanAllah! Everything happened within blink of eyes . I plan, you plan but the best of all the planners is he the one and only the most merciful and the most gracious Almighty Allah subuhanahu wata'ala. He either test us with hardship or with prosperity in order to validate the sincerity of our faith. Allah says
"It is he who created death and life to test which of you are best in deed, for he is the almighty, the forgiving" Subuhanallah!  If Allah loves a people, he afflicts them with trials. Whoever is patient has the sure reward for patience. And we have to be in calm mind and heart till we have that sure reward in our hand. Nothing will happen despite his wishes and nothing can be ours unless we are
tolerant and praying whole heartedly.
   'He is Ar raheem- The merciful who saved and protected me. Allahu Akbar!'

         I was staring at the hospital's ceiling with multi thoughts circled around me. How I rescued her. How Allah the Almighty protected me. That dreadful night became movie for my vision.

"Hey Fazwan please stay here for some more time" pleaded Tariq to stay with him tonight.
     "No Tariq, I have to go. I have lots of pending works to do. You know I was absent in our school for quite past days. I have to catch up with my portions. In Shaa allah Mate  when we have a holidays we will end up together and enjoy a lot. Covey my Salaams to Sahla aunty (Tariq's mom). And once again happy b'day my best buddy. May Allah bless you with healthy and long life..Aameen". He smiled and  greeted with our Salaams and a friendly hug. After then,
      My eyes drifted to Zarrafa who was marching towards us. Masha Allah! How I describe her beauty. I couldn't explain this in words. The whole time at the party I saw her uneasiness around guys but she is comfortable when the girls gang chats started and she also had a great time ,I believe.She was in the wholly black attire which made contrast look to her skin. She said bye to Tariq and simply smiled at me and made her way downstairs.
          I didn't know why I felt some pang on my heart when I saw her leaving impeccably. Soon I left Tariq's apartment and went ground floor. There I couldn't see her. Something in my heart told me something wrong gonna happen. 'How would she go home?' I saw Labwa went home hurriedly before the party ends. Labwa had gone means with whom would Zarrafa go at this late night. I was utterly confused. I had to find her soon. I quickly jumped in my car as I accelerated towards the completely black filled street.  I searched and searched. I didn't know which route did she take. 'Ya Allah give me the right way' I murmured and speeded my move. When I was crossing a street I could hear a voice. It was really Zarrafa's. My heart pounded so fast as I got out from the car and paced towards the direction where the voice came.
          There I saw three hefty men surrounded glue stucked horrified  Zarrafa. A man lingered his hand all over her face and finally he started to unpinned her HIJAB. My blood rush past through my whole body with extreme anger due to anger, I clenched my fist and accelerated  in the direction of men to throw that bloody guy skull broken hit.  Before he completely undo her hijab I punched him right on his face stumbled to fall. I kicked and punched the other two men with bloodshot eyes. I couldn't bear that they f****ing bastards touched her. I loaded all the power over my hand and fought with them. I was seething and livid. I shouted some harsh word at them , my mind was fully engulfed in one thought 'How could they ill-treat and touch girls like this way and even in front of my eyes that is for my partner Zarrafa' Unaware of myself someone from behind STABBED me...Before I reach for him the three of them ran to their lives away. The strong pang of pain shook my whole body, I could feel the blood whoosh from the stabbed area. I stumbled in standing position , trembled fall on the ground back suffocated. Might be this was my end. "La ilaaha illallahu Muhammadun rasoolullah" I could hear Zarrafa's cries her lungs out for help in my soon this to be last breath condition. She shook my body while she itself shaking with cries. I didn't want to see her cry. She did every possible ways not to close my eyes and to hold my consciousness. But I couldn't hold on, then I was deep into my unconsciousness.
           I didn't know what happened for few hours after I found myself on bed. The luminous light blinded my eyes and only witnessed with huge headache and back pain ,I adjusted my bleary vision to stabilize,  There I saw her walking towards the door to go out. I didn't know when she came. I saw her with teary eyes. I called her and asked her to sat on the chair beside my bed. She was naive and her eyes were puffy and swollen. I could see her nose turned pink might she was crying.
"Zarrafa" I said. With that she started to cry. She really felt sorry and remorse. She thought that these all happened to me because of her carelessness. I didn't know why it hurt me when I saw her crying. The only way to console her was with the Messenger's sayings and with the verses of the HOLY QURAAN...I tried my best to console her. I couldn't want her to cry for me. Eventhough I suffered from backpain, I lied to her that I was fine and no more experiencing the pains. Inspite of heavy bandages and plaster in my back I positioned myself to have slanted sitting position. With Allah's help eventually I consoled her.
             I was very thirsty. I requested her to provided me with a glass of water. When she filled and gave it to me our hands touched unexpectedly and she suddenly left the glass as water spilled all over my lap. I quickly picked the glass and gave it to her before I was wiping with my hands.
         Later she started the conversation about my  parents. She might bring that topic because of absence of my parents here in the hospital. The series of emotions rushed into my heart , unnamed emotions constricted my throat.   Before I react, Tariq and a man busted into the room, panting. I smiled when I saw Tariq as he hugged me tightly breaking my backbones. I could known that a man beside Zarrafa was her brother, Aaqib. We chit chatted for minutes as the doctor came and told me that I shouldn't struggle myself by holding anything  for few days. 
             That was the time for Zarrafa to go home. She along with her bro excused themselves and left. I didn't miss her is the biggest lie I told myself. This time I let her go because she is with her protective brother. Tariq wanted to stay with me tonight. Look at our destiny his wished me to stay with him but here he came to stay with me. But I convinced him to go home as he is having school tomorrow. He unwillingly left leaving behind me with my thoughts.
     I couldn't sleep. The thought of her revolving around my head. That incident!! How much she patrified and disgusted  she felt when those drunkards harassed her. Alhamdulillah! Allah has saved her. If something had happened bad to her I wouldn't have forgiven myself. Everything is fine now. I already prayed my Isha in Tariq's house.  After taking medicines which the nurse gave I felt dizzy .I eventually drifted deep to my slumber with such terrible pain.
             
"Sir do you want anything else?" Asked the nurse. It was 12am in the afternoon. I was just provided with lunch by the nurse.
"No Thanks" I replied as he went away. I just woke up only after 10 in the morning because of my heavy dosage. Tariq called me said that he came here in morning when I was busy in my slumber. He told me that Aaqib called me in morning when he came . So he attended and  told himself everything regarding my health. The rest of the day went slowly with that nurse and his yatters about him and his whole family. I somehow managed to smile awkwardly and shook my head indicating him that I was listening eagerly. He was a nice guy though who helped me a lot under this condition. Though he was Non-Muslim he helped me a lot in making my wudu for my every Salah.  when I recite the holy quraan, he listens to me with keen eyes and eager ears. He constantly asks me to recite everytime once I finish my Salah. Masha Allah! may Allah grant him and his family with peace...Aameen.
       Later that evening, unexpectedly Zarrafa came with her enthusiastic smile all over her face. I was so happy to see her that I got someone to talk about or to spend time with me or maybe even that she is with me. She told me that she decided to spend time with me every evening after school to prepare well for our exam and our quiz competition, which means she would spend time with me daily..Great! It would make me less bored and get distracted of ill feelings. She was very loyal. As we discussing about our subjects ,We for an hour drowned in our school subjects. As I told before she was good at tutoring. I think her aim is to become a physics teacher by seeing her intense interest in physics. Strange girl!! Who in the world likes physics? No offence. I was exhausted  and  knowing my tiredness she stopped her today's tutoring class. she thrown up the incident which happened in the school. It was about how Labwa and Tariq did a great naughty job in physics period. Haha really I missed that fun event. She was even good at explaining stories. I haven't seen this energy when she tutored me. She said her brother will come to pick up and she also texted him to come, Soon her brother came and both left me with their Salaams."

A while after Zarrafa's leaving Tariq  came . We spent our time in chatting and discussing about the fun event happened in school and about random topics. Doctor told me that my cut was recovering by highdose medicines ..Alhamdulillah. In shaa Allah soon I'll be soon recovered to write my exams well making my tutor proud...
