This one is dedicated to my lovely readers _MissMoody_ slow_learner somayya786 for making my day by giving their inline comments.

Indeed, with every hardship, there is ease!- Al Qur'an.

يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَكُونُوا مَعَ الصَّادِقِينَ.

O you who believe! be careful of (your duty to) Allah and be with the true ones. (Surah Tawbah 9:119)

Dearest Safina mehek,

When I started typing this mail, my heart really wanted to address you as "love" but I thought it would make you cringe coz of the cheesiness but hey even I didn't know I might feel like calling you Jaan or love or sometimes I feel like calling you 'my gudee' I have so many endearments for you in my mind but I shall stop here coz u might get uncomfortable considering you still haven't accepted me as your husband let alone liking me just as ur friend's brother.

Safina Mehek stared blankly as she started reading the mail. She was actually questioning herself on why she was waiting for his mail or why her heartbeat fluttered and she felt blush form on her cheeks knowing he wanted to call her his 'love' or his gudee.

You might also wonder why I am emailing you this, instead of whatsapping or texting?! Right.

Coz my heart aches when I see that double blue tick and still not getting a reply from you. Yes. I feel an ache unexplainable. you are mine yet you are not mine.

Safina felt some unknown emotions as tears stung her eyes yet she dabbed her eyelids ignoring those feelings.

I know we all belong to Allah. I meant that you are my wife.. you are within my reach yet too far. (for the first time in so many years my eyes is welling up with tears as I am missing someone and writing my feelings for you)

Mehek, I shall bid you now and see you again later. (Pls let me know of you atleast read my emails even if you do not wish to reply.)

Hope you are doing good.

I will be back whenever you miss me.

That time will never come thought safiya mehek as she scrolled down and read few last lines and huffed in exasperation of his cheesiness and love overloaded.

Take care of yourself and others at home.

Assalam Alaikum,

Yours and only yours!

Rihab Yunus.

She thought about how can he love her without actually spending time with her and knowing naught about her.

She was about to delete his mail but then she decided to reply to him out of nowhere so that he might know she is reading his mails and sent him a short reply.

'Wa Alaikum as-salam, okay!'

Rihab Yunus had just returned from work when his phone beeped and he decided to ignore it thinking he would just check it later after praying as he was running late. He thought it might be a mail from his client or his secretary.

After completing his prayer, he unlocked his phone whilst
running his fingers through his wet black hair which was due to the rain that had just started a while ago.  Deciding to have a mug of hot bullet coffee he walked over to the coffee maker his eyes still glued to the mails which his secretary had sent him. reading the file carefully and slowly he made himself a Black bullet coffee which tasted as bitter as his life was.

Rihab grimaced as he took a sip of his coffee and chuckled as he metaphors his coffee to his life.

Bitter.

Which reminded of the word bittersweet.

But his love life was far from bittersweet.

Gently pulling the knot of the curtain he was welcomed by the fresh drops of rain as he stood in front of the day french window sipping his coffee recalling the days which meant so much to him.

There weren't any stars as he looked up at the sky, coz of the rain. The thunder made chills run down his spine as the lightning increased and the clouds moved forward bringing down what it had bottled up. The heavens began gushing down as if it was waiting to be released.

Closing the long  glass window
with a loud sound, Rihab paid attention to the tip tap noise which the raindrop was making on the glass window. He kept the empty mug on the side table as he let himself fall on the bean bag. His phone still in his hand.

He simply stared at the rain falling down, hoping even he could let all his feeling and emotions let it down like that of the rain which he had bottled up inside... 

Sighing deeply, he tsked as he pitied himself but something inside him warned him not to be so pessimistic.

He was a firm believer in Allah ta'ala.  No matter what happened he never let his faith in Allah waver. He knew with every hardship there is an ease and he was holding back onto that faith hoping one day his love life will also see a new dawn. For with every sunset, there is a new sunrise waiting for its awakening.

Closing his eyes for a moment he recalled his favorite moment. When he saw his wife for the first time. When he laid his eyes on her; that moment was unbelievable. He couldn't believe he had fallen in love in just a few days... but he thought his love grew stronger only after his Nikah with her. Sure enough, he thought he loved her and that's what prompted him to marry her. But the intensity with which he craved her now was beyond words.

It was true that Allah puts love between spoused through Nikah and he was hopeful of the day when SAFINA would also fall in love with him and be proud in MAKING his her.

With a small smile, he let go of the bitterness which that Black coffee and his pessimism had brought and welcomed the optimistic and the freshness the Lord had showered on earth and the earthlings. The rain.  Even though there was enough reason for him to dislike rain for there were so many devastating moments which had occurred in his life whilst it was raining..  but who was he to dislike one of Allah's greatest blessings.

He still missed bis brother dearly but it was only a rainy day which had made the pavement for him to get married.

Though he wasn't happy about it its an individual's perspective of how they see things. It's only in our hands to take it positively.

Closing his eyes and reminiscing  some of the cherished moments with his wife, a small smile lingered on his lips.

Safina mehek!

He whispered to no one in particular as he took his cell phone and his eyes brightened up at her message which meant she was reading his emails.

Wa alaikum assalam, okay!

He read it out loud to himself for it was really a surprise for him that she was paying attention to his mails.

Definitely, some chords of her heart had played some music on reading his messages.. and that left Rihab yunus with a content smile until he fell asleep thinking about how Allah ta'ala can change someone's heart just by a small prayer.. for prayer can change anything.

Everything.
