Apologies, Realisation And Reconciliation

ﻭَﻣَﻦ ﻳَﻌْﻤَﻞْ ﺳُﻮٓءًا ﺃَﻭْ ﻳَﻈْﻠِﻢْ ﻧَﻔْﺴَﻪُۥ ﺛُﻢَّ ﻳَﺴْﺘَﻐْﻔِﺮِ ٱﻟﻠَّﻪَ ﻳَﺠِﺪِ ٱﻟﻠَّﻪَ ﻏَﻔُﻮﺭًا ﺭَّﺣِﻴﻤً

"If any one does evil or wrongs his own soul but afterwards seeks Allah's forgiveness, he will find Allah Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful."
(Aaya 110 Surah An-Nisaa)

🌑Darkness🌑

The night lowers it's veils of darkness,
Replaces the beautiful day , and its brightness.

The skies with the stars, will be studded,
Every place with darkness , shall be covered.

The winds whistle ,
Leaves of trees brsitle.

Lightning flashing ,
Waves of the ocean crashing.

Thunder strikes,
Dissappearence of lights.

The candles glow,
Fears grow.

In the darkness, eyes are blinking ,
Heart beats accelerating , minds pondering.

Drops trickle down the window ,
Winds, violently blow.

My heart feels the same ,
I wish it would be tame.

Feeling that is restless ,
Leaves me so helpless.

Surrounded with despair ,
Don't know if I should care.

Emotions inside me , crashing,
Sadness my has my heart thrashing.

Tears down my face trickling,
The pain my heart  pricking.

Dark and twisted dreams,
Wherein there is no happiness , it seems.

This is how I feel ,
On this dark night my feelings I reveal.

As the night lowers it's veils of darkness ,
Replaces the day , and it's brightness.

*Past*

She opened the door slowly , then slid the sliding door open , he spun on his heel, and glared at her, each second he glared at her, felt like daggers  being thrown at her heart, rage was evident on his face. Tears filled her eyes, but she quickly blinked them away, he hated tears and  her crying would only cause his anger to increase .

"What is this ?"  He screamed so loud,  Safwa jumped, frightened by his sudden outburst.

Safwa kept silent , unable to form  a coherent sentence. She shuffled her feet, and planted her gaze , behind him, staring at the lapping waves of the ocean , hoping it would calm her down, but to no avail.

He held her arm harshly, she winced as his strong hand  encircled her arm painfully.
"Look at me when I am talking to you !"

"Don't touch me !" Safwa hissed , then took a step back.

He held her arm tighter, his face red with anger.
"Oh so other boys can touch you but, your own brother can't !"

Safwa gave her brother a disgusted look, her fear now transformed into rage. How dare he say she allowed other boys to touch her! Sure she spoke to Khaleel, but she would never stoop so low and allow him to touch her, even if it was merely holding her hand .

"It doesn't mean I spoke to one boy , I allowed him to be near me ! How can you just accuse me Shaakir ! When you know nothing at all ! "
The sob she was holding back , broke free and she sat down onto the cold tiled balcony, pulling her knees towards her, she released the pain of her heart in the form of tears.

Shaakir passed his hand over his face, he sighed trying  to tone down his anger. He had been knocking on Safwa's door, to inform her that their sister would be receiving a proposal  and she should help her sister and mother prepare. When he heard no reply he walked into her room, scanning her room he found no one inside, the bathroom door was left open, so she was not there either. The curtains blew back and forth, the sliding door was left open as well, thinking she was on the balcony, he walked around the bed, heading towards the balcony.

As he passed the bed ,the buzzimg of her phone caught his attention. He walked over to the bed, took hold of Safwa 's phone, simply swiping his finger across the screen, he unclocked it.  Surprisingly she had no password.

He opened her WhatsApp, and what he saw made his blood boil in anger. He saw a contact by the name Khaleel, four messages sent by him. He opened it up, and read the messages, his anger only increasing every second.

I'm sorry, I never did take you more than a friend. 😐

I already have a girl friend, and she is one of a kind. ❤

This doesn't mean we have to stop talking.

We can still be friends. ☺

He pulled the curtains aside, ready to give Safwa a piece of her mind, but  he was greeted with the sight of an empty balcony, overlooking few houses  and the ocean .

He waited for her to return, reading through every single chat she had with Khaleel.

He didn't know how to confront her, and shouting her would only make her cry even more. He sat down in front of her, crossing his legs. "Why was it necessary for you to talk to a damn boy, now you developed feelings for him and you are left heart broken. "

Safwa lifted her head and gave him a sad look, "I needed someone to talk to, someone who was a  boy someone who can be like a brother to me. I didn't intend to develop feelings for him, I guess it just happened. What should I do? I'm so unfortunate I have two siblings, but none of them love me, care for me or show me affection. So I looked for this elsewhere, but only hurt myself in the process."

He looked at her, sobbing silently, looking so broken, so sad and alone, his chest tightened in pain, he caused his sister pain and never bothered about her, he thought it never bothered her, and she only needed her friends but, she was actually desperately craving the love of her siblings, here she was, crying an ocean of salty tears.

Shaakir, placed her phone on the table, and did something he hadn't done for a long time, he pulled his sister towards him, encrcling his arms around her, comforting her. Safwa broke out into tears once again but, this time tears of joy.

"I'm sorry Saf, I promise I will try and be a better brother" he assured her, as she pulled away and gave him a watery smile.

"In sha Allah ! "

He gave her a menacing smile, a glint of mischief visible in his eyes . Safwa looked at him suspiciously, trying to figure out what he was thinking.

"Now we have to get that good mood back " Shaakir, grabbed Safwa once again, and began tickling her.

"Shaaakir....n-n-noooo s-stopp", Safwa giggled and tried to wriggle out of his hold. The silent night was now filled with the meldious sound of the siblings laughs.

And as the stars twinkled in the black velvet sky ,
They smiled down at Safwa who sat happily on her comfortable chair, letting out a happy sigh.

As the breezy wind blew by, it caressed Safwa's hair affectionately,
Rejoicing, the reconciliation and her face shone so happily.

And from this night onwards , as it lowered it's veils of darkeness ,
She  vowed to herself that she would be a transformed girl , once the day brought back it's brightness.....
