You can't change how people feel about you... So don't try.. Just live your life and be happy..

CHAPTER ONE - NEW BABY

"Nourie can you please stop stressing yourself over this petite issue.. It's a matter of time.. When the right time comes, nobody can stop you from having as many children as you want.. Besides, I'm not even worried".. Aleeyu spoke..

Nour just looked away as tears started forming cloud in her eyes.. Blinking back the tears, she turned to face her caring husband..

"You call this issue a very small one? Aleeyu? Oh no it isn't... It's been four good years since our marriage".. She ended with tears rolling down her cheeks..

Four years later

"Get ready Nourie.. We have to visit the doctor.. You've been throwing up since yesterday and claim nothing is wrong.. Aleeyu said..

"But I said... 

"No buts Nour.. Aleeyu said with a straight face..

"The results are out.. And congratulations to you newest parents.. Doctor Adam smiled as he Shook hands with Aleeyu..

"I can't watch as you do all the house chores habibty.. Go and have a nap. I'll do it" Aleeyu walked her to the room..

"But I'm fit hun" she protested..

"Sleep tight daarrliiinng" Aleeyu ignored her..

"I'm sorry but I don't think she can make it" Doc Adam broke the silence..

"Come again doctor.. Aleeyu said almost inaudible.

"Yes Mr.. Her bones are too weak".. But still, don't loose hope..  I'll prescribe so medications for her.. And you have to make sure she takes them in the right time..

"Ok. Thank you doc.."

Eight months later

"It's a baby girl! Alhamdulillah"..
Aleeyu squealed kissing the new born baby as he passionately held Nour's hand..

Surely, Allah SWT has said in the holy Qur'an.. "ومن يتق الله يجعل له مخرجا " ...and whosoever trusts Allah, will surely get a solution..

She gave a faint smile to him and closed her eyes..

"Thank you for giving me the best gift in the whole world Nourie. I'll never forget this moment in my life ".. Aleeyu added...

"And thank you for loving Me unconditionally, for the care and everything. You are the best Zawjii.. I love you fii sabilillah".. Nour said as she extended her hands to collect the baby..

"Do you have any name in mind"? Aleeyu asked..

"This is just what I'm thinking about".. Nour smiled as she averted her gaze from the baby to her husband..

"What about Raaina"? Aleeyu asked..

"Uhmmm.. Raaina is okay.. But I prefer Ra'eesah".. Nour said..

"Okay! Ra'eesah it is".. Aleeyu nodded..

The aazhan was given to little Ra'eesah by her dad..

On the day of the naming ceremony, many people came from different places.. Mostly Aleeyu's relatives.

1995, Maiduguri..

Nour came back from school happily as she wanted to tell her mother about her first day in JSS1 but was totally taken aback when she saw her mom packing her clothes in an old box their father used to travel with.

"Ummi why are you packing my clothes?" She questioned..

"Nour, your uncle will be going with you to his house" Hajiya Surayya, Nour's mom said in a soft voice..

"But Ummi why"? Nour spoke with tears..

"You see, now that your father is no more and his relatives are not ready to help us, this uncle of you said he'll be going with you. Then I take care of Aasif and Anaam (Nour's siblings).. Surayya replied.

"But I don't know him Ummi!" She protested.

"C'mon don't be a naughty girl.. he's your father's lost best friend who stays in Kaduna with his family. There are girls around your age thou. Make sure you don't cause trouble.. Always be a good girl, don't be rude to the family members.. And make sure you pray your five daily prayers, fast on Monday and Thursdays. Allah ya miki albarka"... Surayya finished trying hard not to breakdown..

"Insha Allah Ummi.. I won't do anything bad.. But ummi.. Does this means I'll not see you, Anaam and Aasif again"? Nour asked with tears.

"No Nourie. We'll visit you often Inshaa Allah"..

"When Ummi? You wouldn't be there to see me on my Qur'anic graduation day"...

After much talks, Nour finally agreed to go and start a new life away from her little family.. She'll surely miss everything here..

Nour's second family were so caring that she sometimes forget that she's in a different place from her mother and siblings..

TWO DAYS TO NOUR'S QUR'ANIC GRADUATION..

Aunty Sasha, Nour's new aunt called Nour to her room with a red bloodshot eyes..

"Aunty? What is wrong with you? Why are you crying? Nour asked worriedly..

"Come with Me Nour..Aunt Sasha softly spoke...

"You know, everything in this world belongs to Allah SWT.. And he can take it at the time time he wants.. Nour, I'm sorry but Your Ummi and siblings died in a ghastly road accident.. Sasha said in between sobs..

Everything went blank in Nour's world.. She spent months before becoming the old Nour.. Even though she'd lost a lot of weight..

She felt out of the world.. Nothing excites her anymore.. But everything changed the moment she got married to her husband, Aleeyu.. Such a caring and loving husband.. Who always makes her number one on his priority list..... He showed her the true meaning of love.

"Maamii! Ra'eesah wants aish kweem (ice cream)".. The three year old whined..

"Okay munchkin. Let's wait for daddy" Nour added..

"No Maamii! Ra'eesah pouted..

"Don't be stubborn Maami's princess.. Daddy wouldn't be happy if we go without him.. Do you wanna make daddy sad"?

"Um Um" she wiped away her tears..

"That's my pwincess" Nour mimicked her daughter..

"Mamii ish shick daddy" Ra'eesah said panting..

"Where is she"? Aleeyu asked worriedly..

"In her woom (room)" the little girl answered leading the way to her Maami's room..

"Ya Ilahi! Get me my car keys princess.  We need to take Mami to the hospital"
