Chapter 28

F A R A H

It's been four days since the departure of Jawad. Myrah and Khalid also left early in the morning and now I'm left alone with Aunt Fatima in the house. Being away from him made me realize how deep I fell for my husband. I feel empty and lonely. Taking my phone from the Nightstand, I stared at Jawad's name across the screen. He called me once and that is the day of his departure and since that day he didn't call.

Farah just call him, he's your husband.

Inhaling a sharp breath, I pressed the call button. I sigh in disappointment when I heard his line was off.

I hope all is well.

Ya Allah protect my husband wherever he is.

My phone vibrated indicating it's time for prayers. I perform Wudu without wasting any more time.

I prayed to Allah to protect my husband.

Stepping downstairs, I spot aunt Fatima busy in the kitchen. Masha Allah Aunt Fatima is a hard-working woman. How I wish she had a daughter or a son.

"Why are you standing there Farah come sit, the food is almost done." Sh
