《Falling For A Hijabi (part 1 And 2)》Final Chapter A Happy Closure
Advertisement
I came from behind James, as he was standing in the middle of the graveyard in front of his mother's gravestone.
I wrapped my arms around his waist, resting my head against his back.
Despite being lost in his sad thoughts, my sudden action didn't startle him, as he caressed my hands with his.
" I know all the condolences in the world can never cool down the flames in your heart for a second, but all I can offer you James is my heart, and my family's heart" I said.
" Jannah... your heart is the only trophy that I pridefully claimed in this life, this is more than enough for me" he said, unwrapping my arms from around his waist, bringing me to face him.
" Do you hate her??!!" he anxiously asked, looking deeply into my eyes.
" No, never.. She gave me you..." I said, putting my hand on his cheek.
" She took your father away from you and you took her son's heart, it's a full circle " he said, looking at his mother's gravestone.
" I think so " I said.
" For years, I've always wondered why me?? Why did I fell for you and not anybody else?? Why not Richard for example?? He was the one that started the bet!! Why did we even start that stupid bet??!! I never understood until I found the truth about what my mother did to your father, only then I understood everything " James said.
" It's Allah's plan for us, James "I said, staring deep into his eyes.
" I just wished she could have the chance to love you and to know you for who you really are.. I just wished she could Meet her grandchildren.. " he said, as tears suffocated him.
I looked at him as he started bitting on his lips in a desperate trial to control his lacrimal glands, but the pain in his heart was simply bigger and more bitter than he could ever handle.
He looked down, trying to hide his weakness from me, as his tears stained the collar of his shirt.
" It's her fate James.. And ours " I said, wiping his tears away by one hand, lifting his chin up by my other hand.
" It has been.. A hell of a journey.." he said, trying to wipe away his tears with his thumb, changing the topic.
" Subhan Allah.. We survived " I said, trying to change his mood by smiling at him.

" I only have you now, Jannah.. You are my world " James said, kissing the top of my head.
" And you are mine " I replied.
" You know what??! I kinda think Richard still owes me 5 grands " James said, wiping away the rest of his tears.
" What??!! Why??!! " I said.
" Technically, I won the bet!!" James shrugged.
" You..... " I said, pretending to punch him in the abdomen.
" Okay, shrewish.. Let's go home " he said, he said, wrapping his arm around me.
" Okay, Let's go home " I said, walking next to him, leaning against his tall figure.
" Jannah, Matt needs to speak to you about something " James said, waking me up.
My heart sank as soon as I heard those words, I knew what Matt wanted to speak to me about, I've been running from it my whole life.. My Father's death..his murder.
" Okay, give me ten minutes and I'll Come downstairs" I said, pretending to be okay.
I washed my face, and brushed my teeth, put on the first outfit I found, wrapped my hijab carelessly, and went downstairs.
" I'm sorry ma'am for disturbing your honeymoon, but I had to" Matt said as soon as he saw me coming down the stairs.
" It's okay, I knew that we would have this talk someday, it's inevitable " I said, sitting next to James on the couch, in our living room.
" Matt, walk us Through the Investigations" James said.
" So the Investigations of Mrs Wayne's death has proved that she indeed killed herself... carbon monoxide poisoning " Matt said.
I put my hand on James' shoulder, and kept caressing it.
I wanted to let him know that I was there for him.
" What about the reopening of Jannah's father murder Investigations??" James asked, pretending to be unaffected by Matt's words about his mother's Suicide.
" That's why I came here today!! They want to here your testimony Mrs Mohamed!!" Matt said, directly addressing me.
" My testimony!!! " I exclaimed.
" Yes.. 14 years ago it was rulled out as an accident but now we have James' mother confession, and evidence is piling up against Falcone, they need to hear your testimony, after all you were with him in the car on the night of the accident "Matt said.
" But.. I can't remember clearly what happened " I said.
" You don't have to remember everything.. Tell them what you know " James said, trying to reassure me.

" There is something else.. Will you testify against Mrs Wayne??!! " Matt asked.
That was the part I was dreading the most. Me testifying against my own late mother in law...James's mother.
I looked at James, not knowing what to say, after all with all the differences they had, he loved and chiriched her deeply.
James noticed that I was looking at him nervously.
" Jannah.. I'll support you whichever decision you will make, it's your right and your father's right, I'll always be here for you" James said, putting my hand inbetween his hands, looking me in the eye.
" No... I won't " I replied a minute later, after taking a very deep breath.
" What??!! " James said.
" I don't want to testify against Mrs Wayne, she got her punishment in this life, I don't want to punish the people I love by indicting her name after her death" I said.
" Jannah, don't do this for my sake, I beg you" James said.
" No, it's not about you only James, it's about our future children, I don't want them to live with disgrace that their grandma killed their grandpa " I said, taking my hand from between his hands, and putting it on top of them.
" Are you sure?? I'm just afraid that you would regret this decision one day!! " James said.
" I'm 100% sure.. As sure as I love you " I said, trying to reassure James.
" So you want to drop the case against her!! " Matt said.
" Yes, that's my final decision... My Father was a tolerant man, he could have forgiven her, Plus he died a martyr for his case and beliefs, I can never ask for more, and she.. She got her punishment in this life, I don't want to punish The Wayne's name for it, after all It's my name too" I said.
" Okay.. If this is your final decision ma'am I'll let our legal team at the enterprises know, now excuse me" Matt said, leaving our house.
James went to close the door after him and came back, he kept staring at me with a shy smile lingering on his lips.
" What!!??" I looked at him, not understanding what was on his mind.
" I still can't believe how God Chose me to be the man who gets to be with you!!" he said.
" I told you Richard is blonde, blondes were never my type " I joked.
" And you were never my type Jannah Mohamed, but I still fell for you!! " he said, shrugging.
I stood up to face him.
" Now I'm your type " I said, resting my hands on both his shoulders, looking him in the eye.
" Here.. " he said, extending his right arm and opening his palm for me.
I raised my eyebrowes at him, not fathoming his request.
He began to unbutton the top of his shirt by his left hand, still extending his right for me.
" James!! Not in front of the housekeepers!! " I said in denial.
" Here!! " he said again, calmly.
This time, holding both my hands, and putting them on his bare chest, over the site of his heart.
" This is only yours " he said, putting his hands on top of mine, staring deeply into my eyes... My soul.
I had no other choice but to rest my forehead against his, and stare deeply into his eyes of a sea.
It was the moment I realised that I was home, Where is there is no need for spoken words to communicate.. Just a caring touch from a person you love.
We were silent for about five minutes, only listening to each others breathing.
" I love you James Wayne " I finally said, blushing.
" I love you more Jannah Mohamed " he said, putting my head against his chest.
" Can't we just stay like that forever??!!" I said.
" We can, but it's our honeymoon, right??!!" he said.
" Yup" I replied.
" Then.. Come here!! " he said, lifting me up and carrying me bridal style, going up the stairs.
" Let me down!!" I said, terrified of falling.
" Nope.. I won't.. Wait!! What did you think I was going to do when I unbuttoned my shirt?? Dirty minded doctor!! " he said, smirking, and narrowing his eyes at me.
" What??!! Dirty minded!!! Okay then let me down immediately James Bruce Wayne!!! " I said, trying to set myself free of his grip.
" Oh, you can Fight all you want, I won't let go off you " he said, going upstairs.
" And I will never let you let me go " I replied, resting my forehead against the side of his jaw, finally surrendering to his grip.
Surrendering to our beautiful fate.

Needletongue, Carrotcake
The world isn't fair. If anything, the inherent injustice of the world is what separates it from the fiction we so adore. Luis Freighthold knew this all too well, and that was why it took a bit longer than it should have to realise when he suddenly had everything he could ever have wanted. Raised in a working-class single-father home, Luis had no other escape than fiction. Specifically, vampire stories of varying quality and genre. There was something appealing about the ability to fly, turn into shadows and become smoke. Danger. An unfamiliarity with the social world that rejected him so. Was it so wrong for him to hope for a different life? Maybe, maybe not. Either way, now he had it—a lust for blood and abilities beyond the understanding of civil man. Could you really say that he had anything left to complain about? A vampire story following an unconventional vampire boy forced to accept that maybe becoming a vampire doesn't magically solve all your problems. As a matter of fact, it might just make a whole bunch of them even worse. Regardless, Luis is prepared to try everything to live up to the vampire books he had previously gorged on. What did it matter that his vampire form had no teeth, replaced instead by a long, needle-tipped tongue? He was still a vampire, wasn't he? Chapters are around 10 A4 pages long, releasing once a week on Mondays, 01:00 CET.
