INAYA
I opened my eyes when Yasin came closer towards me. We walked towards the car I could sense Yasin was looking at me. While Yasin was driving the car, he kept checking on me.
I'm f-fine! Let's just-jus go home soon, I stammered.
But you are shivering? Don't you think we should go to hospital? He asked concerned.
No! Don't take me to hospital, I stuttered.
Inaya? Look at me? Something is going on with you right? Your brother is so sick worried about you. Don't you think you should fight this? He suggested.
Fight wh-what? I asked.
That something which is inside you? He stated.
Huh? What ab-about you? I asked.
What do you mean? He questioned.
Your sis-sister? Why are you not sear-searching for her? I asked.
He stopped the car in the corner and said, "you think I din't search for her? I searched her like a crazy man? But you know what I got?
When I searched for her few years before, she was married. Married to some rich guy. She looked happy and she had a little girl. I was so happy, when I saw her.
First thing I did when I saw her was, I hugged her. She pushed me and said who are you?
I was so young when I saw you, but I still remember how you look sister, don't you remember me? I asked
Kareem? She asked shocked.
Yes! It's me how are you?? I missed you soo much.
You should have not come here, please go! She said panicked.
But Why? I searched for you everywhere Are you not happy to see me?
Look Kareem if people come to know about us they would talk bad. I'm very happy now? Please don't complicate! Go now, She muttered.
Why would people think bad? I'm your brother? I'm your only family? I asked confused.
Then her husband came and he asked Sanem is something wrong? Do you know this guy?
No I don't know who he is? She answered.
I'm her brother Kareem! I said to her husband.
He looked at her and she said, I guess he is mad. He keeps telling me that he is my brother, she lied and then her husband called security and kicked me out , he looked sad.
I'm m sorry! I misunderstood you, I said feeling guilty.
Hey I dint tell you these because I needed to hear your sorry. I want you to come out of those bad days. I want you to be the happiest, he smiled and he walked out of the car and came to my side and opened the door, "Trust me and come out, he said and gave me his hand".
I can't.. I said and he mumbled, please Inaya do it for me?
I gave my hand and closed my eyes. He took me out and there were no one in the road. It was just him, me and rain.
I was scared at first, but eventually I was feeling all good and when those tiny little drops were falling upon me, tears were rolling down my cheeks but I loved it. It felt as if the rain was crying with me. I could sense he was looking at me and strangely I was feeling more complete as I wasn't alone. I holded his hands more firmly and he did too..
When a bird is caged, it does not fly high it just stuck in there. So don't let your pain caged let them fly high, He whispered. I looked at him, and he said.. It's okay I will wait until you tell me and we both were walking on the road holding hands and feeling the rain.
He told me everything about him, I guess I should tell him too, I thought and said, Yasin?
Hmmmumm he said and turned towards me.
I was interested in working right after I completed my college. My dad wanted me to be independent and successful women. I got a job interview it was through online. I showed my dad but he said it's all fake and said Now a days we can't trust people.
But I did not listen to him. As my dad told me that he would never agree. So I went myself to the address that person send me for interview.
When I reached, the office was empty. One man came from inside and said actually we are just starting our business now, So that's why it's empty.
I understood something was weird. I told him I would go to washroom and then I will attend interview, He said oaky and went. I texted Mohammed and dad as fast as possible.. that I feel scared please come to the address.
He then knocked at my door and asked if I was alright. I thought I should guard myself and not show him that I'm afraid.
I came out and said! Yes sir, can you start our interview?
He said okay! Come inside. He started asking about me.. my family and all stupid kind of questions, I also played along and then he said I would start working from today.
I told him I would come tomorrow and start my work. He said no, you can work from today. I'm sorry sir I dint inform my family so I have to leave, I stuttered. He caught my hand and said you are not going anywhere until I get some the daam money.
I bited his hand and ran away. But he caught me and tied me up and said you must be a fool to tell me about your family details through emails...I was blank I dint know what to do, I just cried and shouted for help. He then told me to shut up or he would kill me. I kept praying silently and then I saw Dad, He rushed to me and said, I asked people nearby about the company. Everyone said there isn't any company named The Raises, leave my daughter alone you bastard.
I will leave your daughter sir, but can you please give me money? I need 1 million find money and come to me or your daughter is going to stay with me forever and then Mohammed had also come and he brought police with him.
You should have not brought the police he said and took the gun and pointed on me but then dad... dad... dad, saved me!
I sobbed. He hugged me and stroked my hair your dad must be still proud that he saved you, He mumbled.
It's it's my fault! If I never went there.. If I never argued with my dad.. My dad would be with me.. I cried. Something's are already meant to happen Inaya. Your dad is always with you he said and kept stroking my hair.
That day it was raining just as today. My dad left me when it was raining, last words he said was, I'm sorry. But why was he sorry? I should be sorry right? I dint get a chance to ask him to forgive me? I never said him how much I loved him? Why did he go, when we were not talking to each other?
He would have said you sorry, because he had to leave early? He would have never been angry with you Inaya.. When you meet him in Jannah ask him.. Okay? He comforted me...and I kept weeping in his arms..
