———————Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur.
————————————A week later, Saturday evening, 8:00pm.
I looked at myself in the full length mirror I had in my room and I appreciated how beautiful Allah made me.
Alhamdulillah for everything.
I was wearing a dark red Abayyah that was stoned in a beautiful design with black beads. I was wearing black heels and the abayah still covered my shoes. I looked really beautiful. I tied a black scarf around my head and applied zero makeup and I was all set for the event with my black Chanel handbag.
I looked beautiful MashaAllah.
Najmah was wearing the same dress I was wearing, matching outfits, we honestly looked so cute. She was with Khalifa in the living room. I was more than happy he created time to be with us for this event. To be a guest of honour wasn't easy. I had made sure I made my Salah

All our hard work couldn't be gone in a minute, who could have done this to us. " You're trending on the news, your warehouses in Australia, Germany, Mauritius, China, Mexico, Turkey, South Africa and Los Angeles, they all blew up at the same time" What.What!!!." How did that happen?" I snapped. " I'm still reading, it's what Al-Jazeera news are currently talking about, apparently as at 9:30pm, Saturday, Malaysian time, today, eight time bombs went off in the major branches of the Olyster Textiles Warehouses, it's a mystery how they all went off at once and the military are doing the best they can to get to the bottom of this, many workers and civilians were lost, there were a lot of casualties in each country" Wh

——————Los Angeles International Airport, California.—————————Next morning, 7:00am Sunday morning." Zarah you should head to your home, come to work tomorrow by 9:00am" I said as I hurriedly walked out of the airport. I had enough sleep in the plane and all I needed to make my breath fresh were some mints, I could take a bath later on. " Okay sir, Mother you should go with Sophia, make sure Brandon is okay" I said to mother. My car was ready for me and the company van was going to take Mother and Sophia to our family house.Sophia was already here.

Good morning Mr Olyster, I got you coffee and a croissant, you probably didn't have a decent breakfast this morning" Zarah was being nice. Scary. I literally didn't sleep last night, I was busy estimating funds and going through the names of people who were lost from the explosion. It was too much. Mother moved in with Sophia after we went over to the mansion. He still sent us all away. I was honestly scared of Brandon going crazy. The man didn't deserve that. He was a victim of all this. Mother packed her clothes and important documents and left with Sophia to their home. I was all alone in my condo again. " you brought me breakfast?, how nice"" well cause I knew you ate nothing since you stay alone now, Mama Zainab told me. You should eat before heading to

Well Zainab told me she and her husband are getting their marriage annulled and that Khalid doesn't work at their family business any longer" Ummah said as I stuffed my mouth with sweet papaya. I was soon going to declare papayas as my favourite fruit after mangoes, pineapples and watermelon. They were all so delicious and refreshing especially when they were chilled.Ummah had finally contacted Mama Zainab. They were cool now, I talked to Mother a bit after the incident at our place when Khalid and Mama Zainab were still in Malaysia. They came to be on good terms and their friendship was blossoming again.Alhamdulillah.I didn't need to check up on Khalid myse

All I wanted was to see my children happy and have the best in this life no matter what. But here Fauziyyah was, crying and locking herself up for days. She wasn't eating properly and she wasn't talking to anyone.I knew she was feeling horrible for not being able to save her daughter. That was exactly what I felt. I felt like I had no reason to move on until I realized I was actually being a bad mother to Farouk.Two days had passed from the dreadful incident where Najmah was lost. To watch your daughter get burnt right in front of your was enough to make you go completely insane. The pain of not being there for her, the pain of not being ab

The cute little baby I saw back in Malaysia was killed in a bomb blast. Some people were honestly heartless and cruel. A lot of people were lost in the bomb blast and according to sir Khalid, the person's cause for doing this was all for revenge.This was something Pa Alejo would do.I spent sometime with him when he lost his job, when we both lost our jobs.
