Unknown

Two weeks ago, the man I fell in love with completely broke my heart. He told me something that I never thought would happen to me. I've always dreamt of having my own family, and living happily ever after, oh how I was dumb. I should have known This was not some kind of romantic movie, we are talking about real life right now. As shocking as it sounds, I finally realized not everything was pink and unicorns.

It's been two weeks since I told Malik to get out of the house, which he gladly did. I thought that was it, I was never going to see him again, but once again he surprised me. He showed up every night and once again, I told him I needed time to myself, and he finally ended up leaving me, and so I go back on my bed to cry over and over again. They always say it will be better with time, so why do I still feel this pain on my chest? Why do I still feel like I was just told I could not have a child of my own ever again? Why can't I just forget it? Why? Just why?

Once again I hear a knock on the door, I keep ignoring it, having an idea of the person on the other side, the one and only Malik. After he left, I found a way to change his house pin, so he can not come in unless I open the door for him. I also know he can find someone to change it back, but I am just glad he decided to give me my space. After a while, I decide to get up and send the poor guy back to where he was

"I am fine, no I am not sick, I am just busy and yes I still need time so yeah you can leave now" I said right after opening the door, looking at my feet. I already have the answer memorized considering he showed up for the past 15 nights with the same questions, guys are so predictable

"Rude much? Trust me girl I am so not ready to leave yet, push your tiny yet big butt from the door so I can come in" answered a voice too familiar. A voice that I dearly missed. I look up to find the one and only Fatima. How is this possible? She was in Dubai how did she get here?

"Oh my God I can not believe this, is it really you?" I asked not believing my eyes. I use my fingers to touch her, and no I was not imagining

"Yes love it's me" she replied, and that was it, I hugged her, holding onto her like my life depended on it

"Oh God can't breathe" she said and I finally let her go after a while. "You hugged the life out of me man. Aren't you going to let me in?"

"Yeah sure I missed you too ugly." I said holding her hand and closing the door behind us. I guided her to the living room and we sat on the couch. "Fatimah am I dreaming?"

"Let me see" she said pinching my cheeks

"Oh God that hurts Tima, what is wrong with you?"

"I just wanted to show you that you were not dreaming"

"Whatever, how come you are here, not that I don't like it,I actually quiet love it. How are Dad and Omar doing? I missed them so much"

"Uhm, they are actually doing great, they just miss you a lot and your brother already started school. As to how I am here, your dumbass of husband, does it ring any bell?" At the mention of husband, she saw me flinching. "How are you holding up love?" She asked with worry written on her beautiful face

"I am alive aint I?" I replied drily

"Yeah, that is because you are strong"

"Sure, how are you here?"

"Why are you acting like you don't want to see me? Anyways I talked to that jerk and he explained to me what was happening. He bought me a flight ticket and so boom, here I am. And then he got me from the airport and I insulted him until we got here. I told him that it's not time yet for you two to talk and he will come back probably later anyways because my suitcase is in his car"

"Why do I feel like you left your suitcase there on purpose?"

"Calm down Sherlock, I might have done it on purpose or not. Besides that's not the point. you two really need to talk and figure out what to do next. I am not saying that you should forgive him, but the jerk has suffered enough and I believe it is taking a toll on you too. I think you should hear him out, and after, whatever decision you will take, I will be on your side" she said finally

"I don't know what to do Tima. It hurts so much" I said trying to stop my tears from falling

"My shoulders might not be big, but you can always cry on them" she said hugging me.

"I Love you and your small shoulders " I laughed in her arms.

"Please girl, I've been going to the Gym recently, can't you see my muscles?" She said showing me her chicken arms. I couldn't stop laughing. But then I got so serious to be able to tell her this

"You know I care about you right?" I asked and she nodded "Tell them to give you back your money"

She opened her mouth, then closed it, opened it again and closed it

"Cat got your tongue?"

"You really know how to make a girl feel special"

"Sadly sweetie, that is not my job. But I'll be sure to tell your habibti when I meet him" I winked at her and she started blushing "Unless I already know him. Come on tell me do I know him? Oh my God I can't believe you hid this from me? Details details!!!"

"It's nothing serious, but there is this guy. It's not what you think also, I just spoke to him Few times and I don't know anything about him, it's just a silly crush" she said not looking at me

"My girl in in loooooove" I singsong

"Girl please"

"what's his name boo boo?"

"You are not gonna believe it"

"Try me"

"Well it's Sebastian, the jerk's friend"

"Not you too. You are damn right I can't believe this. We are talking about Tony here, Well I actually can, the guy is cute and is crazy like you, so I totally understand. Imagine you two get married, oh my God I'll get to see you everyday"

"Oh lord calm down, who said anything about getting married anytime soon? Like I said there is nothing between us and I don't there will ever be"

"And your babies are gonna be so cute" At the mention of babies, I was once again reminded of the ugly truth, I can never be a mom.

"Hey sweetie, it's gonna be alright, remember all of this is part of Allah's plan. He has something great stored for you, you'll see. This is a test from him, and I'll say you are dealing with it quiet well. You will always miss him, but at least you know for sure he won't suffer in this cruel world"

"Yeah I mean how bad can it be?"

"For starters you need to talk to Malik about all of this, ignoring him is not going to do any good to any of you. Both of you are suffering on your own, and I really hate to see you like this love"

"But the thing is I don't know if I am ready to see him yet. I am scared to forgive him right after seeing him. He cheated on me for God's sake, and I was in love with him, I still am but he really hurt me you know"

"About that, you know better than me there are always two sides to a story, I can not believe I am saying this, but let the jerk explain himself"

After saying that we heard the door bell ringing .

"Oh I see, he is already here. I have to leave and just look around, I am sure he brought my suitcase, I'll be back in an hour. Have fun" she said winking at me. Is she for real?

"No don't leave me yet. I am not ready Fatimah"

"Sweetie at this pace, you'll never be ready, you just need a push, I'll see you in a bit" she added blowing me a kiss. She went straight and opened the door, and right after she got out, I tried to close it, but I was not quick enough because Malik tried to come in, he pushed back the door and came in

"Yasmin, we really need to talk" he said

"There is nothing to say"

"Please just hear me out" he said. I could see the fear in his eyes, the fear of me saying no

"Be my guest, although I wonder, what can you possibly say in your defense? Go ahead Malik, the floor is all yours"
