EVERYTHING WAS GOING as planned for Suleiman,in the first five months his business was growing and he was able to pay the loan regularly, Rukkayah who was at the edge started calming down since she didn't hear from Rasheed any longer.
"Dear I can't be staying at home like this all day long,I want to start doing something too you know if I was engaged in one business or the other things wouldn't have been that hard for us when the custom seize your goods"Rukkayah told her husband in the evening after he finished eating his dinner and they sat in the sitting room massaging her husband legs
"We are okay now Rukkayah,you should be contented,I need you to take care of this children at home while I run around providing for us"Suleiman said and Rukkayah dropped his leg adjusting to face him
"Non of them is a kid any longer dear,Qadirah is thirteen,Aishah is ten and Abdul is six and they're going to school,I can start a mini business like selling provisions instead of me staying at home all day"Rukkayah said
"Just focus on your duties and stop disturbing me with business,I provide everything you need so why are you complaining? Things are going smoothly and I can provide everything my family needs,let me be and do your duties"Suleiman said annoyingly standing up leaving Rukkayah alone in the sitting room

"Welcome my dear,how was work?"she asked
"It was tiring but Alhamdulillah things are going smoothly"Suleiman said patting the seat next to him for his wife to join him
"Do you want to eat?"Rukkayah asked after sitting with her husband but Suleiman nodded no concentrating on the television
"The children?"Suleiman asked
"They're fast asleep"Rukkayah replied and they sat quietly except from the voice from the television
Twenty minutes later Suleiman phone started ringing bringing dozing Rukkayah back to life, Suleiman reluctantly pick the phone and suddenly shouted
"Subhana Allah la illa ha illa lah!"he stood up immediately dropping his phone
"What happened?"Rukkayah asked while Suleiman search frankly for his shoes

They call the fire extinguishers immediately and few minutes later they came and started extinguishing the fire,the fire was finally tamed and Suleiman went inside the shop with his heart breaking into pieces
