Abdul Razzaq's POV-
I stayed beside her on the bed as she laid unconscious with her face pale and her eyes red and puffy with her messed up hairs.
My mother and Aslihan were seated on the edges of the bed, both of them equally concerned.
"How did this happened? Whose evil eyes has casted on my daughter?" My mother frowned.
"I think we should leave now mom, leave Kulsum in her own space for sometime." Aslihan put a hand on her shoulder.
"I'll stay here." I said firmly as they nodded and left.
Soon after a while her eyelids twiched and she blinked several times before opening her eyes.
"Kulsum......are you okay?" I quickly poured a glass of water.
I helped her sit up as she took a sip of water. "Thank you.....for everything." She said weakly.
"No need to thank me melekim. It's my duty." I smiled.
"You don't get it Razzaq, it's over.....my parents are dead. I'm all alone. I never thought this day would come."
Tears stung her eyes as she let them flow, I moved closer to her as she placed her head on my shoulder and I circled her body with mine.
"I do get it melekim. Trust me I do." It's true....I understand her condition more than anyone I guess as something very similar happened 22 years ago to me as well.
"What is left for me now? I can't go on anymore." She sniffed.
"Whatever happened, happened for a reason. Their journey was till then, so they left.....the best thing you can do to make their souls rest in peace is to pray salah for them, recite Quran for them, ask forgiveness on behalf of them.
Only these things will benefit them now. You still have chance to be a good daughter. You can pray for them that Allah SWT grants them highest rank in Jannatul-Firdaus."
She nodded as she wiped her tears. I faced her as I held her biceps.
"But it still hurts so much Razzaq......so much that I'll break." Her voice trembled.
I hugged her tightly as she cried silently with her head in my chest.
I held her firmly as I carcassed her hairs and placed my chin on her head.
"You know......our problems and sorrows are nothing compared to our beloved Prophet Muhammad SAW and his companions.
He never saw his father as he passed away right before he was born, his mother also passed away when he was just six years old. His beloved grandfather passed away as well and he was left all alone.
But he never complained or was ungrateful to Allah's decision. When he preached for Islam, people turned against him and pulled dirty and treacherous acts against him.
His first and his most beloved wife....Khadija RA also passed away. Him and his companions were constantly tortured.
They put thorns on his way, threw rocks and pebbles on him which made his clothes and shoes soaked in blood.
He starved for days so much so that his abdomen shrinked and he tied rock around his waist. Why did he do all that? For us.....to bless us with the world's most precious treasure......Iman.
He beared all the tortures without cursing or swearing upon them.....just for us. His very own uncle did horrible acts against him.
On the day of judgement when all the prophets and people including our parents, siblings, friends will act like they don't know us.....all the people will only scream Ya Nafsa (what about me?) Except our Prophet Muhammad SAW, whose voice will be the loudest as he'll plead.....Ya Rabb Ummati (Oh lord my people)
He won't preach for himself nor his wives nor children. He'll only preach for us. If that's not unconditional love then what is it?
What we are going through is nothing compared to what he went through. In the first battle.....the Battle of Badar the Muslims were just 313 and the opposite army was of 1000 soldiers.
Yet they fought and our Prophet's army won....why?.....because they knew that Allah won't abandon them. They trusted Allah."
She slowly pulled away from me as she looked at me with stars in her eyes.
I cupped her face as I wiped her tears.....
"This is all just a test from Allah SWT, all the pain will go away. Just be patient.... he will reward you greatly.
Listen to me, you're ought to be strong now. Think about the brave women from our Prophet's time.
Khawlah-bint-Al-Azwar......the woman who disguised herself as a man and fought in battles, her skills were so impeccable that people thought that she was Khalid-bin-Walid.....the most undefeatable commander in history.
Khansa RA whose husband and 4 sons got martyred in the war yet she remained strong.
You are strong as well.....you'll get through this....you're no ordinary woman, you're a woman who left her country in a blink when you married me, you're a woman who pursued her dreams and didn't let anyone stop you....you're a woman to whom nasty accusations were made and you went through that bravely, you're a woman who spared the life of a person who attempted to kill you.
You're a woman with Islam, a woman who protects her sanity and stay modest. A woman who's on her deen and completes half of my deen.
Moreover......you're Kulsum Abdul Razzaq Ozturk.......my wife."
I placed a soft kiss on her forehead as she smiled......after what felt like an eternity.
"And besides you're not alone....you have my mother, my grandmother, Zakariya, Aslihan......and me as well.
Trust me we all are worried sick for you. The whole house feels so barren and quiet without your laugh and your presence. We need you......I need you."
I swear I never said these many words to anyone before. Even if you sum up all the conversations in my entire life....I never talked this much before. I don't like talking much.......but I'd go beyond any limits to make sure she goes back to being herself.
"Thank you so much Razzaq......for literally everything. I don't know what I'd done without you."
She gave me one of her most cheerful and pleasant smile.
Wallahi I'll talk forever if it means I get to see her smile.
"Wallahi melekim if you thank me again I'll-" I trailed off.
"Uhuh you'll what Mr. Bossy?" She grinned as she leaned in closer.
"Then I'll punish you severely." I inched closer to her as my eyes darkened.
"Oooh I'd love to see how." She trailed her fingers on my neck.
Damn! She's such a turn on....
I held her wrist firmly as her honey coloured hazel eyes met mine.....they reflected affection I never saw before.
She wore a teasing smile on her face as I smirked and pinned her on the bed caging her between my body and the bed as her eyes widened.
"That's all you got?" She scoffed teasingly as she cocked a brow.
"Don't tempt me melekim, otherwise things can get pretty bad." My voice deepened.
"Huh, I'd love to see you try....go ahead." She grinned.
"Oh well there's no turning back now, don't complain that I didn't warned you." I smirked.
And without wasting anymore moment my fingers trailed towards her abdomen as I tickled her.
She jolted and I could tell she was surprised as she definitely didn't saw it coming.
She chuckled and giggled and after a while I stopped.
"You're so mean." She mumbled as she frowned playfully.
"I warned you melekim, besides....what did you expect I'll do huh?" I ran a hand through my hair.
"That's none of your business." Her eyes widened as she gulped. I smirked as I pecked on her cheeks.
She blinked several times as her cheeks heated up turning into a fine shade of pink and I chuckled softly.
"Now let's get you to sleep." I hit the lights off.
"I'm not a baby that you need to put me to sleep." She folded her arms.
"Your actions says otherwise." I smirked as I reached for the blanket.
"How dare you! Don't talk to me." She scoffed playfully.
I took that chance and grabbed her by her waist and made her lay on my lap.
"What the-" she gasped.
"Shhh.....go to sleep melekim." I cut her off carcassing her hairs.
Soon after she drifted off to sleep and she snuggled on my lap as I gently placed her head on the pillow and covered her with the blanket.
I smiled......I'm just so grateful to Allah SWT that she's getting back to normal.
Honestly, I was so scared of losing her, never in my life I was ever scared of losing someone or something.
But when she entered my life and made her place in my heart, for the first time.....my ice cold heart was ignited by the spark of her love.
And that spark intensified to a raging fire upon the thought of losing her.
Wallahi, I'll never let her go! She's mine till the eternity and I crush those who try to harm what's mine......
