" Mother used to tell me, if I ever find a good girl, I should never let her go. I'll never let you go Faryah" I heard Khalid whisper in my ear and I responded to him with a big radiant smile. He was holding Najmah in his right arm and our hands were intertwined with his left as we walked together round our huge apple farm in the heart of Rabat while letting the cool spring evening breeze soothe ourselves.
Alhamdulillah.Khalid invested a lot of money in farms around the world, even in Kuala Lumpur. He said he bought a farm for an old man he met when he first came to Malay with Zarah. The man couldn't accept it just like that so they decided to split the ownership. The man owned half and Khalid owned the rest of the half.
Najmah could walk now and as always, she was smiling. She was learning how to talk now, no more baby jibbe
" okay now I think I made a huge mistake in marrying you Tyler. Why the hell did you bring a dog in here?, you know how much I dislike dogs and you brought one here and it popped all over my favourite carpet" lately all I did was throw tantrums at Tyler for no reason in particular.It was probably the baby in me that caused it." But you love dogs!, I thought it was going to cheer you up" My poor husband was trying to defend himself. Pregnancy wasn't easy honestly. One minute I was so mad and the next, I was crying." why don't you just let me complain?" I whined and threw myself on the comfy bed in our room. I was three weeks pregnant and it's been approximately seven months since we luckily put Pa Alejo and Miss Hae Soo in prison. Faryah and Khalid were in Rabat now and here I was, travelling the world during holidays with my husband Tyler. The asshole reverted for my sake. I remember clearly how I helped him say the Shahadah, he kept on stam
I was supposed to be playing with Fauziyyah, my twin sister. She was meant to be back with our nanny from the Salon. She left Mr FurryChunks with me, it was teatime and she wasn't here. I slowly walked out from our play room to go wait for Fauziyyah in the living room, I didn't want to play alone. I walked down the stairs holding Pilot Tiny tight to my chest. He was so soft. I could hear Ummah sobbing lightly as I walked down, Ummah never cried. I was six but I could sense that something was definitely wrong. I watched as Abbah paced around the living room, he looked disturbed. I turned to find nanny Aisha sobbing quietly too in the kitchen corridor. I couldn't see my sister anywhere. "Habibi, why aren't the polic
--------Indonesia, Palembang -----------------Presentday. I had to leave my class immediatelyUmmitexted. My mind wasn’t at rest, I really hoped GrandPa was okay. He didn't have to leave us now. I felt a warm substance roll down my cheek as I quickly ran into the hospital in search forUmmi. It was very large,Al-ameerspecialist hospital. I wasn’t not sure we could afford bringing grandpa here. I walked further into the hospital and foundUmmisitting on a bench.I slowly walked to her and sat by her side. I wanted to comfort her with my words but Icouldn’t, I always tried my best to. Not that my tonguewas cutoff or anything, I just couldn't say words out loud. It's very hard for me and I've lived this way for sixteen years.Ummisaid I was sick when I had a terrible accident. The shock of the accident did something to me.
---------------Los Angeles, California ---------------------Present day The lights and flowers were all set, everything was ready, Juris Fernandez's Sweet love was playing in the background. The garden was so pretty, the flowers were all ready, it was just going to be me and her and the snacks were all set for our dinner tonight. She was supposed to be here any minute from now. I was honestly so anxious, my palms were sweaty. Ethan had already convinced me to do it this way, secretive and lovely. It took me a week to plan everything, hoping she was going to love it. I could finally hear the clicking of heels from behind me, I slowly turned around and found her blonde wavy hair swiftly moving along with the wind. I felt the earth stop rotating and it was just me and her. Her long and sexy legs were the first things I caught sight of. She was wearing black heels and the off shouldered lon
-------------Indonesia, Palembang ------------------------A month later She was looking like an angel sent from above. Her dress fitted her perfectly. I looked at her dress in the full length mirror, she was in a white long sleeved flay and full satin long dress. It looked pretty tight from the belly up and flay from the belly down. There was a small white veil styled on her head. She looked really stunning, I couldn’t believe it. I have never imagined that I could ever look this beautiful. I was left in shock as I looked into the mirror taking in all the makeup Firdaus made me wear. I didn't like how I looked even though I looked so pretty, I was so used to my plain abayas and baggy skirts and shirts. This was a really big change. Time honestly was fast. It felt like it was just yesterday I agreed to get married to a stranger. I have never thought of
--------------Indonesia, Palembang ---------------------- Night after the wedding Everything about her screamed innocence. From her looks down to her quiet movements, I really, honestly couldn't believe that someone as beautiful as she was, was mute. She probably had the voice of an angel and the angels were jealous so they took it away from her, just saying. I tried being as nice as possible to her earlier today, GrandPa wanted me to and the glorious smile on her grandfathers face made me realise that it was worth it. The sacrifice was totally worth it. "Khalid" Sophia called as she walked over to where I stood beside the car. Sophia was the child of my mother and Brandon, she was still in college, UCLA, studying medicine. She looked a lot like my mother. She was beautiful, just like her. "Hey" I answered as she stood beside me. I was waiting for Faryah to say her good byes to he
----------------Indonesia, Palembang ------------------Next day( airplane ) I shut my eyes tight as the plane took off. This was my very first time and I was so scared, too scared. I had already heard about plane crashes and now I was on one. I didn't want to die young. I felt a warm, tough hand on mine as my eyes were shut. " Breathe in" I heard his deep voice say and I instantly obeyed. " Breathe out" he said again and I obeyed and slowly opened my eyes. His touch sent shivers down my spine. I really wanted to know more about Khalid. He was nice to me, right from the start. He even selected a table under the stars for us to eat, it was a very beautiful view. He was quite really entertaining also and slightly funny. " This is obviously your first time" He said and gave me a small charming smile. He was a very handsome man. I nodded and smiled as I looked at my lap. The cake Ummi packed for us was here.
-----------------Los Angeles, California. ---------------------- three days later, Olyster textiles. I had lots of meetings to attend to, Brandon was out of town in a meeting with our investors. I had already spent four hours in the office and I needed a break. I dialled my secretary and waited for her to come in. " Yes sir" she said as she walked in. " Uhmm can you order me a beef burger and fries, with a large milk smoothie from the nearby eatery?" I asked and she nodded and walked out. I still had a lot to do, I had contracts to go through and sign. There was a soft knock on the door and it could possibly be Ethan or my secretary. " Come on in" I answered, not taking my eyes off the contract I was reading as I twirled a pen in my hand. I heard the clicking of heels and took my eyes off the piece of paper to see who it was. " It's been a month Khalid" she said as she stood to look at
