------------- Los Angeles, California.
------------------- Same afternoon( Olyster residence).
" What the hell are you doing here?" I heard Khalid snap as he got up from beside me. He looked extremely angry. " I only came to talk to you and your mother" His voice was still the same. The situation was too intense for me to break down right now. He was Khalid's father. My Husband's Father.
" Talk?, Man I told you to stay away from us" I heard Khalid rage again as I saw him punch his Father to the ground. Deep down in me, I wanted to join him and beat him too. But I was going to make matters worse. Khalid didn't need to know. I was only going to be making matters worse. " Khalid" Sophia screeched as she rushed further to him. I couldn't move from where I stood. I wanted to move but I just couldn't.
" Just listen to me " Khalid's Father said again and I finally moved closer as he pushed

--------------Los Angeles, California.------------------------Next afternoon(UCLA)My thesis was due in two months time. I really had enough time to prepare. I had to submit my thesis to enable me graduate. I knew I could do it, Allah was with me. Always. I was done for today. Khalid was picking me up again. My ankle still hurt, but little. I was limping a little bit. I waited for Khalid on the same bench I waited yesterday, hopefully no one from the awards crew was going to come my way again.I watched as the rude dude from yesterday sat on the bench, thank goodness far away from me. I couldn't deal with another episode of bullying right now. He was on a phone call. His accent actually did sound like RiRi's but his had more sense of class, he had already adjusted to the California lifestyle. I wanted to get to know the Nigerian cultures more. RiRi was from the Hausa/ Fulani Ethnic group. I really wanted to visit

--------------Los Angeles, California.----------------------Next Morning( Olyster Residence)I woke up to find Faryah peacefully asleep in my arms. Last night was a night to remember. It was both our first time, we were both shy, yes, but it happened. I got up from the bed and wore my shorts and shirt. It was 6:20am, her classes started by 8:00am. She had to make her Salah, but she looked pretty deep in her sleep. I got up from her bed and walked out of her room to prepare breakfast for her. She must be weak. The maids and cleaners were already cleaning the house and Anna was already cooking breakfast. The others were asleep. I wanted to make a special breakfast for my wife. " Good morning Anna" I greeted as I walked into the kitchen to see what I could prepare for Faryah. " Good morning boy, slept well?" She asked and I sang a Yes as an answer to her. " Your night must've been great, what did you dream about?" She asked and I smiled.

----------------Los Angeles, California.------------------------- MVO Building agency( Same afternoon).I never imagined this was what she was going through. I didn't even know what to think or do. It must hurt her so much. I had to pour out all my anger on him after I heard what she said to David. She wanted me and my father to reconcile, that was why she turned down my idea of going to the police station. She had already found the culprit. And it was David. I really couldn't believe after all what he did to my mother, he still had the guts to abuse someone else's child, he took her away from her parents and is denying it. I could feel Faryah's pain right now. It should really hurt a lot. " I didn't want you to find out" she cried onto my chest as I patted her hair and back in console. " You should've told me. It would have been easier for us" I answered as I kissed her head. " He still denied it, all I wanted was to know who my true parents are, that was all, but no

------------ Los Angeles, California.------------------------A month and two weeks later( UCLA, Department of Business Administration)I took a deep breath as I walked down the stairs to the front stage of the class. A lot had happened that made me reach here today. A month passed by so quickly with me living my life gracefully. I never thought my life was ever going to be this great. Each day was filled with amazing memories, all thanks to my husband and his family and friends that became my friends. Even though I didn't really get a clue or a lead on my real parents, I bore in mind that Allah's timing was always the best.Khalid and I were doing pretty much great and I managed to make him watch some sermons by Mufti Menk and Bilal Philips on YouTube. I was glad that he wasn't pushing my efforts away and was making an effort to see the right path and fully accept it. That was my goal. Forcing him to convert was just going to be a plain waste of tim

" I really don't understand why you have to do this Khalid" I said with a giggle and inhaled the pleasant scent of the blind fold. " Don't worry, I'll take it off soon, it's just for a little while" he answered as he placed a kiss on my cheek and I felt the car move again.GrandPa and Ummi couldn't make it to my convocation. But they planned on coming the day after the grand launch. I missed them so much. Firdaus was coming along too. I really couldn't wait to see her change. Raihanna was in Indonesia, she couldn't make it too, she was graduating a week after me." Where are you taking me to?" I asked as he continued driving. " Somewhere special. You'll like it, don't worry. Just be p

The crowd's applause grew louder and screams too. She deserved the award. But I really didn't see the need of doing this, no one needs a reward for being beautiful. The tiara and sash were placed on Sophia as she smiled widely. She wanted this. She was given a plaque too as the lady in pink put tiny tiara's on my head and a sash round my body." Ohh...I don't know what to say, I am really grateful for this award and I really do appreciate it. This was really unexpected and I honestly thought that my sister-in-law was going to be the one to get the award, but I am sincerely grateful to everyone here, I am glad to call UCLA my home, it was my home for five years, and UCLA is a school to be in
