Innocence

ThirTy

Meher's POV

   Ummayyah had so much pain in her ankle. She was not able to walk. I called Nurdeen and said him. He was having important meeting. I wish I would come and see Ummayyah, he said. Dont worry, doctor said she will be fine soon, I said.

    Dunya, Malmal and Afra are with mom. We all kept praying for Ummayyah. "If Ummayyah was feeling good, tomorrow it would be her wedding", I said to Rayees.

    Hameed came and said he wants to talk to me and Rayees. We both asked him, what it is?

   He said, "Rayees and Meher de, I know you guys took great care of Ummayyah and I dont know if I could take care of her like that". But I promise I will take care of her just like you guys do.

  We listened to him. He continued, So can you please let her marry me tomorrow? He questioned

   Rayees and I looked at each other and nodded our head.

  Then, Rayees hugged Hameed and said thank you Hameed. If not you, I could have never seen my sister again! Thanks a lot Hameed, Rayees said.

  He smiled! Hay who is that guy? I asked.

   Omar! What are you doing here? Hameed asked.

  Go away from here or else I don't know what I will do to you, Rayees said.

  "I am really sorry Rayees but I wont go away from here, until I apologize to Ummayyah", Omar said.

   No! I will never let you meet her, Rayees said.

  Just give him a chance Rayees, Hameed said.

  Yeah! Let him speak to Ummayyah, I said.

   Okay, I am coming with you too I cant trust you, Rayees said.

Rayees POV

   Omar and I went to meet Ummayyah. Ummayyah was shocked to see Omar, I went near her and said Omar wants to talk to you.

   Ummayyah nodded. And Omar said, I am really sorry for what I have done to you Ummayyah. You was always a good friend to me. But because of some bitter past, I hated you. And because of Hameed I realized my mistake. Please forgive me.

  Its okay! Just dont break my cousins heart, Ummayyah said.

  He nodded and stood to go. But I then thought to apologize too.

   Wait Omar! I am sorry for What I said to your sister, I said it only for her good.

  Omar turned and said, Rayees nothing was your fault or my sisters, its just destiny, Omar said.

  I nodded and he went. What did you do to his sister? Ummayyah asked. Just gave her long lecture, Rayees said.

    So? Ummayyah questioned.

  So she suicided, I replied.

  What? Ummayyah asked.

  Just chill my little Sister and go back to sleep, tomorrow you are getting married.

   What? No way! She said.

  Just then Kalima, Meher, Hameed came in. I looked at Kalima and asked Ummayyah, even if your bhabhi says???

  Yeah! She said.

   Ummayyah just trust Hameed. He will take good care of you, Kalima said.

   Meher agreed too.

   Can I talk to Ummayyah for a minute please? Hameed asked.

   No! Not even for a second, I teased him

  Stop teasing him. Meher said. Okay, go talk to her, I said and left them alone.
