Farida
"Are you sure? This thing doesn't lie does it?" Farida asked anxiously.
"Farida this is the tenth one you've done. I'm sure it's true." Noor massaged her temples.
"But like, it's not lying? It could be broken or, or I don't know. But is it really true?" Farida pressed on the subject more not believing her eyes.
"You know what? That's it!" Noor stood up and walked over to Farida.
"What are you doing?" Farida asked as Noor pulled her into the kitchen. Were her Abaya laid.
"Change. we're going to see a doctor to make sure." Noor demanded and pushed her in.
"What? Are you serious?" Farida shrieked.
"Of course I am. You have been pacing around for the past hour. And you keep nagging me of I'm sure. Well then we will go and see a doctor to be sure." Noor hissed and tossed Farida her abaya.
This time Farida didn't protest. She slid over her abaya and tightened her hijab around her head. As Noor did to hers as well.
"Okay let's go." She muttered and Noor followed her too.
~
The whole car ride Farida had been anxiously patting her feet on the floor and now wasn't any different.
She still felt just as anxious.
She felt blood draw out from her boring her lips so many times.
But she couldn't help but be anxious. She wanted it to be true. God knows she did. But she also didn't need false hope.
After all they had been trying for three years. But it all led to nothing.
And now.
Oh Allah!
She couldn't just believe it. After so many years.
She felts Noor's hand hold hers tightly and squeezing it.
Farida gave her a wavering smile.
The doctor turned back to her. She have Farida a wide smile.
"Congratulations Ms.Hussain. You are indeed expecting." Farida couldn't help but let a sob out.
Her tears were falling as she grasped her mouth.
Noor was immediately to her side and hugged Farida close to her.
"I can't believe it Noor." Farida Celt out through her sobs.
"Believe it Hun. You are going to be a mother. Allah answered your prayers. Thank Him." Noor told her.
Farida let out another sob at that.
Those were tears of happiness.
Alhamdulilah ya rab. Alhamdulilah.
She kept repeating.
After three years of endlessly praying she is finally going to be a mother.
At first this morning when Farida and Noor were enjoying themselves with a cup of tea, Farida suddenly felt sick and ran into the bathroom.
Later when Noor asked her on how long this had been going on Farida admitted that it has been a week.
She then asked on how has it been since she last has her period and Farida then realized that it was two weeks late.
But at that time Farida didn't really think much of her late cycle as that happened quite a few times.
So when Noor threw her into the bathroom with a stack of pregnancy tests, Farida didn't much think of it.
After all it has been three years of crushed hopes.
But when she actually saw the result as being positive she couldn't believe her eyes.
Which also led to ten more of pregnancy tests.
But now, in this room after being assured from a doctor she couldn't stop her tears.
Oh Allah thank you so much for giving me this blessing.
She prayed under her breath. The happiness that she felt in her heart was indescribable.
Alhamdulilah. All praise to Allah.
"Oh Noor. I can't wait to tell Adam. We have been waiting for so long and indeed Allah has finally gives us what we have kept praying for." Farida said, she cleaned her face with the back of her hand.
She smiled at her friend, ending thankful as ever for her being here with her.
"That you must. I am so happy for you." Noor grinned at Farida making Farida grin as well.
But more than anything she couldn't wait to tell this news to Adam.
But of course, she had to do it right.
She thought wickedly.

Farida heard the click of the door long past seven and she was up to her feet immediately.
She had been anticipating his return since she had left the hospital.
And now he was finally here.
Time to put everything in action.
She thought as she headed to greet his dear husband.
She felt made herself looking more miserable and less... happy.
"Assalam w alaykum." Adam muttered, kissing Farida on her lips Bareilly before taking off his jacket.
"Waalaykum assalam." Farida mumbled back.
Making sure her voice was laced with sadness and despair.
Adam glanced back at her already worry laced through his features. "What's wrong,baby?"
At that Farida wanted to melt in his arms and cry happy tears while telling him everything happened today.
But she couldn't.
She wanted to scare him first a little.
Oh Allah. Please forgive me.
She prayed.
"Nothing." She said shortly. Still keeping her voice down.
"Are you sure habibti? You look rather... down."
Bingo.
She mentally fist bumped.
"Can I talk to you for a little while please?" She said keeping her head down.
"Of course baby. Tell me what happened." Adam immediately pulled her into his arms.
Farida sighed exaggeratedly. " I'm afraid I have bad news."
"Why? What happened? Did something go wrong? Did something happened with your parents? Baby please tell me." Adam rushed on and Farida had to hold every fiber within her bit to just give up and tell him everything.
"Adam," she began pretending to sniff as though she was crying. "I went to visit the doctor today."
Adam took a sharp breath and pulled her back from his chest.
Holding her tightly by her shoulder but not enough to hurt.
"What do you mean?" Adam asked. His voice held more worry and concern. It shook as Adam's eyes reflected his fear.
God. She was so evil. She should tell him now but she was enjoying this too much.
Which she shouldn't be.
But yet she still was.
"Oh Adam it's all your fault." She could fill his heartbeat accelerating under hands on his chest.
"What have I done?" His voice shook.
She slowly pulled her hands away and rested them on his cheeks instead.
She couldn't take it anymore as Adam held his breath.
So instead she grinned widely at him and she could feel her eyes watering as she gazed the eyes of the man he loved.
Adam's eyes filled with more worry if that was even possible. "Why are you smiling and while your eyes are watering?" Adam asked so innocently as confusion started to take place of the worried look he had on.
"Because I am very happy." Farida mumbled back.
Adam's own mouth slightly twitched and his eyes softened.
Farida rested her forehead on his while standing on her tip toes.
Loving the look of love he was giving her.
"And why is that my love?" Adam asked his voice low.
She slowly gripped his hand in hers and bright it on her stomach. The whole time Farida kept looking into the eyes of the man she loved.
"Because we soon will have another person living with us inshallah." Farida muttered.
At first Adam's eyes swam with confusion looking into Farida's twinkling eyes.
Then slowly his gaze turned down to where his hand was laying on her stomach and he took a sharp breath and snapped his head back to her.
His eyes were filled shock and uncertainty.
"Are you serious?" Adam breathed out. His voice shook from this newly piece of information.
Farida nodded through her teary eyes.
"Yes." Her voice shook from her own emotions.
"I am going to be a father?" Adam whispered.
"Yes." Farida nodded again as a tear fell.
In a second Farida was flying and Adam was lifting her spinning her.
Happy tears joined her laugh again.
Adam put her down and pulled her to him, holding her close.
She sighed as she hugged him. Feeling more than blessed to have a husband like him.
"I love you." He whispered putting his forehead onto hers.
"I love you too." She whispered back. Her voice hoarse.
Adam grinned at her.
"I can't wait to raise this child with you my love." He said
"Me too." She replied in all honestly.
She really couldn't wait.
