Dunyaa isn't a RESTING place.. it's the TESTING place..

CHAPTER FIVE-CHAOS

Grab your tissue box and tighten up your belts.. The ride's gonna be grumpy!

Mommy.

Ever since Abdul-Jabbaar visited their house, she was thinking of how to match him with one of her daughters.. Saabirah, preferably.

"Mommy just imagine me as that guy's wife! OMG! My children are going to be amazingly beautiful!
Have you even noticed his one side dimple? Ouhh.. Saabirah wouldn't stop talking about A_Jay..

"Stop daydreaming my dear".. Saajidah mocked.. "He's too good for people like you.. Isn't it so obvious? It's good you face reality and stop all these"

Saajida's words were like a rock that was thrown unto her twin sister's heart as they broke into gazillion pieces!

Anger,

Hatred,

Annoyance,

Were what Saabirah was feeling towards her sister. Sometimes, she feel like killing her sister! Ever since they grew up, everything changed! Their paths has been separated; just like river Niger and river Benue..

Still burning with rage, eyes turned red, she walked away.

"Saajidah I need to talk to you.. Please".. Mommy calmly spoke..

At first, her daughter was taken aback by her mother's calmness. But then, it suddenly registered into her brain.. Mommy needs a favour from her.. That's why she's acting this way!

"Uhm! Okay mommy" she finally uttered as she sat adjacent to her mother.

Mommy closely watched her daughter as she don't know how to approach her without fights..

Ya Rabbi! She sometimes have a second thought about her daughter!
Is she really my blood? She sometimes asks herself.

She must have inherited this cold heart from the pink-headed baboon! Her useless good for nothing husband! She thought.

Saajidah tell me. Were you possessed? What is wrong with you? Maybe the bitch's mother got you possessed before she left the world.. She ruined my daughter's mind. See how you've turned.. You no longer hear what I say to you.. All you are after is that 'Animal's' happiness.. Always standing for her.

At this point, Saajidah was speechless.. All she had wanted to say has vanished away from her mind like it has been swept away.
Looking at the woman talking, she really pitied her.

How can a human being be this heartless! Towards a girl who has lost her mother at a tender age! She needed to remind her mother about the dangers of maltreating an ORPHAN! Allah has said it in the holy Qur'an..

Not once,

Not twice!

"Mommy what exactly are you saying? She has no one to look after her.

And please don't involve her late mother in this. For she is oblivious about everything happening!

Don't you pity the poor soul? With what do you want her to deal?

Her mother's death?

Her father's sickness?

Her WICKED STEPMOTHER?

Her studies?

"Tell me mom! Saajidah said as a sob escaped her lips. I can't abandon her.. She's too innocent for that! Her heart is a fragile one! She can't face it alone.. And InshaAllah, I'll be with her through thin and thick! She paused to wipe away the tears that marred her face..

I would like to refer you to the holy Qur'an. Chapter 02: Verse220..

Allah says: "to this world and the hereafter, And they ask you about orphans, Say, Improvement for them is best! And if you mix your affairs with theirs-they are your brothers. And Allah knowsthe corrupter from the Amender. And if Allah had willed, He could have put you in difficulty! Allah is exalted in might and wise. Al-Baqarah, 220.

And let me quote this hadith.. "Sahl ibn Sa'ad reported: The prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said, "Myself and the caretaker of an orphan will be in paradise like this" and he held his two fingers together.

Mother, I pray that the little I've shared with you will melt your icy heart" . With that, she left.

Mommy was tongue tied at her daughter's outburst. But the woman's heart is dead! No regrets came across her mind..

But who are we kidding?! It's mommy we are talking about.

Ra'eesah.

School has been so hectic that she sometimes wished to go back to secondary school.

Today, after attending a 7am to 6pm lectures with three hours interval, she decided to head home and rest. For she was totally exhausted.

Glancing at her wrist watch, instead of checking the time, she smiled; a very bitter smile that led to tears.

Oh Maami, may you continue to rest in peace. I miss you so much!

Apart from the letters she still have written by her mother, her wrist watch is the only thing she could save because Mommy had burnt everything! Not even their pictures.

Heading home, she Salaam-ed before entering the main parlor which she regretted coming.

"From where?! You piece of garbage" as usual, mommy yelled..

Ra'eesah just stood there, rooted. Like a statue.

I can't bear seeing you in this house! For my daughter has been brain washed by your mother! So, you are going to stay in the school hostel. She roared.

Unable to speak, tears made their way down Ra'eesah's cheeks. She headed straight to her room and locked the door..

Right now, I'm literally crying.

I don't wanna talk much but the votes and comments are going down..

Your girl, _ameeynaturh ❤️
