To My Heart

Chapter 16~ Missed You

Ahmed's POV.

Walking along the side road holding my mom's hand.

Her hand was soft and so comforting.

How much I missed you ammi... It can't be explained in words.

She looked at me and gave me a smile.

"ammi... do you feel unhappy without me?" I ask her.

"beta... aren't you living a great life with the woman you love?" she asked me instead.

"yes but... you didn't answer my question"

"if you're happy with her then I'm happy forever..."

"ammi... I'm sorry that you had to leave so soon"

"and I'm sorry I wasn't able to be there for you when you needed a mother and a shoulder to cry... I made promises to you and I couldn't fulfill them before leaving"

I hugged her.

"I never hated you for nothing...you always tried your best and you will always be the best"

She pulled away.

"I just want you to stay happy with her and cherish every moment of life like it's the last...that's all... Your Abbu, your sister and I.. that's all we want for you" she said before leaving my hand and starting to walk away from me.

She was following a path of flowers.

I could see a bright light a bit far away.

Jannah?

Allah knows...

I turned around because seeing her leave would only make me want to run after her.

"Ahmed... Let's go home my love" I heard Fanaa's voice and I smiled.

***

" Fanaa!!!" I woke up yelling her name.

Where is she?

Is she okay?

Is she safe?

What happened to me?

How long have I been here?

Why can't I remember??

Someone barged into the room.

It was a doctor.

"sir where is my wife??" I ask him.

"relax sir, let me check you up first" he says as he starts checking my heart beat and my body.

I feel a light pain in my back.

I know... I got shot.

Did Fanaa also got shot?

"is my wife safe?" I ask him hoping he'll tell me where she is.

"don't worry.. The whole time you were here she took better care of you then the nurses, you're a lucky man" he said.

Naina was the next person to come into the room, her eyes getting wide as she saw me.

"ya Allah! Fanaa is going to loose her shit!" she says as she ran up to me.

"Ahmed how are you feeling??" she asks me sounding really excited.

"uh... Good I guess but where's Fanaa?" I ask her.

" she must be on her way here" she says.

"can you call her for me?"

"I don't think she'll respond she went to pray at the masjid" she says.
