I am doing this mainly for me .

Chapter 30

“you're kidding right!” she says grabbing my phone, “how!”

This waaliyah creature really is something else, far from any woman I’ve met. Maybe it because I’ve never really met a none agent woman and why is she always excited about such stupid things

“it’s a simple mobile game," I say with an eye-roll

“But you're on level 100, do you know how stuck I am on level 99!” she says taking out her phone, “ please help, I’ll do anything for you.”

“Anything,” I said smiling... She nods her head excitedly unlocking her phone. After completing the level I showed her a place on maps.

“ anything right?”

Her face sulked as she opened the car grinding her teeth.

“ Why did you want me to a company you to a place that I won’t be able to afford even if I use all the money I’ve spent on water, and I drink a lot of water!”

I waved towards Aaminah…I wasn’t sure if she remembered her from that night. Since she couldn’t tell who I was I’m sure she didn’t know what was going on with Aaminah as well. She sat down pulling her miniskirt to her thigh. I saw jealousy written all over Waaliyahs face.

“ Aaminah, this is my fiance Waliyah…waliyah, meet Aaminah.”

“He's boss…” she replied calling for a waiter.

Waaliyah might have felt agitated by me inviting a woman over, ” shell be paying for us ok.”

It was working…if I managed to get Aamianhs reaction towards her all my questions will be answered.

They arrive in Dubai, it’s a golden opportunity not to be placed on the waiting list for too long. They signed in, preparing for the second wedding only with the two of them, after the ceremony they commenced with their hajj. A once in a lifetime opportunity…after weeks of sole prayer unto Allah, they began exploring the place applying for residency, maybe after touring around the world settling down in Makkah or Madinah would be a sweet way to end everything. Start afresh.

Daneen could see the world without defining it with the sport she could not live with at one stage in her life. It might have been a difficult task to accomplish, but it was done in the end. She had different dreams, goals ambitions and most importantly, a different view. No one said change is easy, no one has ever mentioned it as being only good, change has its cons. And this is where she realized that the sadness that came with this change did not plan on going anywhere easily. It was, something…she was going to have to cope with slowly. With Bassam who has denied his change all his life

I spent most of my days reading and eventually migrated to the Islamic based rehab which has a 100% recovery rate. Every day I’m greeted by smiles, and shortly before bedtime have an amazing time listening to the khutbahs. Over time I felt myself enter this world far away from drugs, money. This was a different type of elevation. Not only did it leave me searching for more. But it left me feeling ecstasy...the kind that wasn’t removed after the moment was over. It lasted for hours, days…I began to read again, salaah, Quraan. I wanted to be a Muslim for the first time since being born as one. All my life I had been walking through this world with my head cut off, I could hardly see what was happening around me. Everything was colourless, covered. But now these eyes that I’ve had for almost 30 years of my life have opened. And my sight has never been so clear. Wait for me Zharefah, I promise to return with a prayer rug this time…not a bottle that will soak my shirt with lipstick and sin. Together we can work towards Jannah, start a family…be happy and face this traitorous world together.
