"This isn't possible" yusuf said astonished by what is right in front of him, yusuf picks out the letter from the envelop Aman gave to him, he spreads it out on the table in his living room and reads it,

Dear yusuf,

By the time you get this I must have been dead, we plan for ourselves but Allah's plan is the best.
The fact that I'm dead doesn't mean anyone is at fault, just continue putting me in prayers and I'll be very fine with that. Don't dwell on the past, that my mum didn't approve of you doesn't mean she hates you find it somewhere in your heart to forgive her and me too.
I have been battling with a chronic liver disease for years now, I didn't want anyone to know it's back because I didn't want to be a burden anymore since I know it's a terminal disease. Please don't hate me for that.
I'm sitting on my bed writing this knowing I may not be alive to give you this myself,

But I want you to do me two favours as a gift for the dead,

Firstly, My sister hafsa, I'm her only pillar and my mum is getting older, I want you to please take care of her I know this is too much to ask from me, but I want you to propose to her if you wish and in sha Allah it will be blessed.

Secondly, inside this envelope there are some picture and proof of the whereabout of my long lost sister please make sure my mum gets it, her new name is Fatima abdulrahman.
Jazakallahi khairan as you do this.

Tears drips from yusuf's eyes as he reads the letter, he has been holding on to hate that was unnecessary for years now. He quickly checked the proof she was referring to, he saw different pictures, childhood pictures, paternity test of not just any Fatima, but the Fatima he was holding hostage in his house, he continued staring unbelievable that he didn't know that his wife hafsa was beside him calling his name.

"what are you looking at?" hafsa said as she picked up the letter from the table, she reads it with her mouth and hand trembling, she knelt down on the floor with her eyes widening also not believing what she had just read,

she would have thought maybe Aman just made it up but she very well knew her sister's handwriting.

"Fatima abdulrahman is my sister" she said in a loud voice crying,

"what?!" Fatima said coming out from the corridor she has been staying hiding waiting for the perfect time for escape,

"which Fatima?" Fatima took long stride to where yusuf and hafsa stood, she recognized yusuf immediately she saw him, he was the one she rejected his proposal but what else does he want from her,

"why do you have my pictures?"

Fatima said as she found her pictures lying on the table, including her baby picture which she has never come across,

Hafsa and yusuf stayed mute looking down in shame not being able to answer Fatima, she got annoyed by their action and proceeded to look at what was lying on the table,

"this can't be possible, no!,no!" she said crying in denial looking at what she held confusedly,

"what is this?!, how!" she said screaming at them for an explanation of what was happening but they couldn't answer, they were shocked too.
