"When the people of Jannah reunite,they will remember all the times they spoke about Jannah in this dunya..
They will back and laugh at how short life was and then smile because beautiful is their final abode..
I pray we are among them..
Ameen."

Ablah smiled as she made Latif's coffee,she could still clearly remember how Latif woke her up for fajr today,he called her and told her to wake up..

He has changed..

She entered his cabin with a salam..

"Salamu'alaikum":she said smiling..

"Wa'alaikumussalam":he said smiling..

She wanted to act like it was normal but still it was new but she didn't want him to think otherwise so she just smiled..

"Good morning Mr Latif":she said smiling..

"Call me Latif":he said smiling..

"He is your well known black coffee with less sugar":she said keeping the cup on his table..

"Thank you smiley":he said smiling..

"Smiley?":she asked confused..

"Your new nick name":He said laughing..

"You are welcome grumpy":she said rolling her eyes..

"Grumpy?":he protested..

"Yes,you have a meeting in 30 minutes,Dard enterprises called just now":she said composing herself..

"Okay,thank God I have worked on it yesterday night":he said smiling..

"What are you watching":she asked as he pit his gaze back to his phone..

"Islamic lectures":he said smiling..

"Ohh I will just finish some work":she said heading out..

And today she wished that it is not only glass that is their barrier because she wanted to jump and shout out of joy..

Latif came back as he promised 10 years ago..

They went for the meeting and it went well then they got back to the office..

"You nailed it":Ablah said smiling..

"Yes":he said smiling also..

He went back to his office and she was bored so she decided to recite the holy qur'an and kill time before lunch..

Latif came out immediately after she started and he smiled at her..

"We should start from baqarah and keep on doing it till we are done cover to cover":he said smiling..

"We should make it a routine":she said giving him a thumbs up and he nodded his head..

They continued reciting the qur'an,their voices getting higher at some verses and getting lower at some..

How great it is to read the qur'an and feel like you should keep on reciting..

How great it feels to recite the qur'an knowing the meaning..

How great it feels to feel your mood brightening after letting the word of Allah roll out of your tongue..

They continued reciting and it was already time for lunch so they decided to go and pray then have lunch..

They went and prayed which Latif led and then the went their separate ways to have lunch..

"Zarah":Ablah said waving at her..

"Ablah":she said her voice down..

"What is wrong with you?":Ablah asked..

"Am fine":she said faking a smile..

Zarah is a very cheerful person and she talks alot also so today seeing her frowning and quite,getting lost and looking into space Ablah got that something is definitely wrong..

"Trust me Zarah":Ablah said smiling..

"If you don't want to talk about it,then it is fine,keep praying Allah is there for you he will solve your problem":Ablah said smiling..

"Well":Zarah started..

"Their is a guy whom I have started liking,he was the reason I started wearing hijab and changed my dressing code because he is a strong believer,he changed my way of life and now he is getting engaged to someone"

"They said that she is religious and pious,very beautiful also,everyone says that he is lucky to have her,I don't know what to do,I don't want to lose my love,he had always been their for me through thick and thin,since when mu parents ousted me from their house,he never looks at me the way other guys do":She said crying..

"I don't want to live without him":she said sobbing..

"All I will say is keep praying and ask Allah for the right choice,if you two are meant to be then even if the whole world come together they cannot stop you":Ablah said patting her back..

"A boy once asked his mom..

Son:Mom if everything is written in the La Mahfuz them why do we make du'a?

Mom:Maybe in some pages Allah has written as you wish..

Allahu Akbar,keep praying Zarah afterall it is a conversation between you and Allah":Ablah said smiling..

"Thank you so much":Zarah said hugging her as she smiled a little..

"Let's have lunch"

"Don't you think we should build a mosque inside the company?":Latif asked Ablah..

"Yes I think it is a nice idea since we have many muslim staff":Ablah said smiling..

"Take this":Latif said handing a big box..

"What is this?":she asked confused..

"A token":he said smiling..

"The three of us have thought of going for rehabilitation":Latif said smiling..

Ablah was morethan happy that they have finally decided to stop taking alcohol,they are addicted to it so they need rehab..

"For 2 months":he said smiling..

"Wow that is great":she said smiling..

They continued talking and working at the same time till they concluded that Yusuf will take Latif's place for the mean time..

And now rehabilitation is calling..

Cheers to a new life..

A new beginning..

Ablah entered the house smiling happily as she looked at the gift Latif gave her,she couldn't wait to enter her room and open it..

"Ablah Ablah":Ammi said turning her around..

Ablah looked at her Mom who was smiling and dancing..

"They said yes":Ammi said to Ablah..

"Ammi who said yes":Ablah asked confused..

"Amir said that he wants to marry you":Ammi said smiling making Ablah stumble back..

Amir said yes..

"You are getting engaged next week":Ammi said pinching her daughter's cheeks..

Ablah felt tears forming in her eyes..

She didn't weather she should be happy or not..

The long lasting wish of her parents came true..

But what about her wish?

"Ablah my dear am so happy":Dhizwar said smiling..

"Are you happy?":He asked his daughter..

Happy?

Of course am not,this is not what I want..

"Am so happy Abbi?":she said faking a smile..

She excused herself leaving her overjoyed parents downstairs..

What about Latif?

She opened the gifts and tears rolled out of her eyes..

A beautiful pink qur'an was carefully kept..a note was tucked into one of the page..

"Thank you for giving me food when I needed it badly"

She carried the other frame wish has Allah's names on it then a note at the bag..

"Thank you for making me smile when I forgot how to"

She felt tears roll down her eyes..

She carried the hadith and removed the note from it..

"Thank you for reminding me the hadiths that I have forgotten"

She smiled brightly as she opened the a box which contains an Abayah and a bracelet that have Ablah written on it..she removed the note as she read it..

"Thank you for fixing me"

She kept everything aside as she bought her face to her legs and duck it in between and she cried..

I love you Latif..

But I love my parents more"

"I wish we were meant to be"
