  "I'm really tired you know, I don't think I'm going to survive after giving birth to this baby here" Salmah said looking exhausted and at the same time crying.

    Abdallah rushed to and hugged her allowing her head on his chest while rubbing his hand on her back to make her feel better, nothing could be heard except the sound of the television.

     She raised her head off his chest and smiled at him. "You're good right?" He asked with low voice which only she could hear him and she nodded. "You know I wished I was the one carrying this baby because the baby always trouble you and I don't want that" he said with a pout.

     She smiled at him, then kissed his lips, allowing her to have it her way he kissed her back. And with that he allowed her to express her love because that's the only way she does that. She never say "I love you" but rather kiss him and he understands quickly that he meant the world to her.

   Later in the night, he helped her in taking her bath, dressed her up and laid her on the bed. He did his own business and made his way to their bed, he engulfed her in a bone crushing hug. She hugged him back and with that they kept talking about random stuffs.

       "What if I die today or while giving birth what would you do?" She asked him and he looked into her eyes and said "I will follow you" she smiled at her husband mischievous act and pecked his cheek.
   
         "Don't die please because if you do die who do you think will take care of our baby? Nobody is doing that for us, so be a very good father and mother to her, make sure she lacked nothing but give her the best discipline and morals okay and also don't forget to make sure she reads the Quran every night before sleeping, make sure she reads hard in both school and islamiyya, make sure she respects anybody that is an elder to her and please always make her look neat wherever you guys are going okay?"

    Abdallah didn't say anything but rather kept looking at her eyes with his teary eyes, "who told you it's a girl?" He asked to avoid getting emotional, she glared at him and said "it that all you heard?" And he nod his head which earn him a slap on his shoulder and they laughed until they both fall asleep.

Abdallah kept hearing some screams despite being a deep sleeper so he decided to open his eyes but to his dismay his wife has been shouted and screaming so he got confused and asked "what's wrong? Tell me are you okay?" She didn't reply him but kept saying her shahadha.

   So he quickly put on his jallabiya and picked his phone and his car key and zoomed out of the house to the hospital, she kept on screaming and saying the shahadha at the same time till they reached the hospital. The nurses came to their rescue and took her to the labour room.

     Abdallah wasn't able to sit down because he was nervous and scared the way she was screaming from the labour room. One nurse came out and he rushed to her, "please sir can we have the babies necessary items" she requested so he made his way to the exit to bring them but thought of leaving her alone at the hospital clicked his head so he called his mother and told her that they are in the hospital and his sister should hurry with the things needed at the hospital.

    After the arrival of his mother,sister, sister-in-law and his cousin hayfah they waited for almost 2 hours.

    The doctor came out and they all rushed to him. "Doctor is she alright?" Abdallah asked and the doctor pat him on the shoulder and said "Indeed every soul should taste death" and all of them looked puzzled.

      Abdallah asked the doctor again "can you explain to me what you're trying to say doctor" everybody can sensed fear from his voice because his voice was trembling scared to hear what his heart was telling him.

    "Okay your wife delivered a healthy baby girl but unfortunately your wife passed away after the deliverance" and with that the doctor walked away. Abdallah felt like the world was going to crash on him, he couldn't come with the terms that he's beloved wife is no more.

      Everyone was busy crying but tears were afraid to drop from Abdallah's eyes, the nurse gave him their baby, the result of their love, the only thing he's wife left for him to cherish in his life, he looked at her and she looked exactly like his Salmah, her eyes, nose, cute mouth the only thing she took from her father was his color which made her fair but her other features was her mom's.

Indeed it has being a tragic moment for both families because Salmah was a lady that never fights with anyone, she sacrifice her happiness in order for others to be. She always respects people opinion and respects them. She's so soft that even her enemy will be in a shocked state when heard of her death. People from village came to mourn her death and everyone prayed Jannat will be her final destination.

      Abdallah named his baby girl Salmah but will be called Amanah. He vowed to fulfill all his late wife's wish she told him on their bed before dying and he promised to be her mother and father. He promised himself never to marry again because he don't want his daughter to lack discipline or fall on the bad hand.

    And that's how he vowed to make his daughter's life a better one, he will make sure she never felt the absence of her mother besides her.
