Oh! so I’m not allowed to visit your horrible home right? atleast let me see if my sister is still breathing under your roof, but this isn’t over yet.

Aminah: get out of my way now before I scream for help!
Haneef: please don’t do this me please, have mercy and sympathy in me please.
Aminah: leave my way now before I do something funny to you.
Haneef: (almost on his knees) please Aminah I’m begging you..please.
Nusaybah: what is going on here?
Haneef: (walk up to her) baby please! Lets go inside..
Nusaybah: (turn to Aminah) why were you talking to my husband in that manner uhhh? (each steps she takes towards Aminah got Haneef worried) what exactly is between you and my husband?
Aminah: sister mi, whatever you witness or heard is true.
Nusaybah: what do you mean? I said why were you talking to my husband in such manner
Haneef: baby please relax… don’t fight her please.
Nusaybah: don’t tell me to relax! While she is rude to you.. I need to reset her brain with slap.
Aminah: so you want to slap me over him? Sister mi! instead of you sit and think of what is blank in your past? Do you think If you could remember all of it.. do you think you will still be under his roof? Uh?
Haneef: aminah please stop doing this please..
Nusaybah: why are you begging her? Were you two in a relationship before that lead to this rubbish? Uh!
Haneef: (surprised and gasp) what! No! never!
Aminah: why would you say such a thing sister mi?
Nusaybah: (confronted her and speaks in a lower tone) do you know you are getting married soon? And if you don’t learn to over look things and move on, you will forever lock yourself in depression.. If I lost my memories not the fact that you and I wasn’t close since childhood… this same stupid mindset of yours makes me dislikes you so much.. you know.. sometimes I do wonder why you hate me so much that you are never happy to see happy? Why?
Aminah: sister mi what are you saying?
Haneef: honey please don’t say that.. she is your sister.
Nusaybah: Haneef! Don’t interfere In this.. this is between me and her! So stay out of it, and as for you.. if you really know that my past was so bitter why are you still eager to make me remember everything and be in pain again? why? Uh? Tell me.. you came into my house this early morning to make a scene.. and confronting my husband over his past.. who are you to do that? Uh?
Aminah: (tears roll down from her eyes) you know what? You are right! you are absolutely right… you are saying all this nasty words to me because of him? Because of this man (point her second finger at him)
Nusaybah: if you say another words to him I will not hesitate to hit you.
Aminah: go ahead! Hit me.. let’s get this over with.. Just know that when you get back to your senses.. I’m not available to listen to your trash.
Nusaybah: (she raises her hands to slap her but her husband take it for her) what are you doing?
Haneef: (touch his cheeks) I deserve that! This is happening because of me.. I should be blamed for this and I deserve every words she said to me.. the two of you are free to transfer your aggression on me but I cant bear to see you two fight.. please.
Aminah: (she hiss and walk out of their house)
Nusaybah: (also hiss and head inside)
Haneef: (stranded and thinking of a solution) this is all my fault! What can I do to solve all these problem? (he enter inside and shut the door behind him) baby!!!
Nusaybah: don’t call my name! you know I’m mad at you already so please don’t double my anger! Just avoid me as much as you can for now.
Haneef: (speechless) look honey I know all this is happening because of me and I’m filled with so much regret right now for my mistakes, please let peace reign between you and your sister please.
Nusaybah: so I should tolerate her stupidity right? did you see how she talked to you? like her ex husband? If I’m to talk to her so called fiancée does she thinks she can take it? uh? I will not tolerate anyone talking to my husband anyhow period. And if you don’t mind me asking, what exactly is between the two of you that causes such rudeness?
Haneef: (scratch his head) uhmmm baby! It a long story and I don’t want you to remember any of this please.. I don’t want us to go back to square one.
Nusaybah: what exactly did you do in the past? What was your offense? See how you take good care of me and our children.. you makes sure we never lack anything in the house and showered us so much love so what could have gone wrong in the past? What did you do? Ayomi! Tell me? Up till now you deny me of my right as your wife, are you cheating on me?
Haneef: nooo!!! I swear with the name of Allah I’m not cheating on you.. and I will never do such again.
Nusaybah: (alert by his statement) what did you say? You will never do such again? so that means you have cheated on me several times? Uh! Haneef! You know what? I would really love to know exactly what happened in the past! I need every details. Right now.
Haneef: (panting heavily) please my love.. please I don’t want you to remember anything please have mercy on me.
Nusaybah: I guess my sister was right! she is only rude to me but I thought she was rude to you because of the hatred she had for me.. but I guess there is an hidden answer to my question but none of you want to tell me. What exactly is going on? Why I’m I always in the dark?
Haneef: no honey, you are not in the darkness my love. Don’t you love how our lives is? Look at us and our kids, living in harmony. This is what you and I want please don’t let the shayton ruin this reunion please.
Nusaybah: (stares at him for few seconds) ok then, I have heard you! but I will forever not mention the curiosity of past only if you promise to grant my wish tonight.
Haneef: just name it, I will do anything for you.. In fact I will lay down my life for you baby.. you just name it.
Nusaybah: ok then! Ever since you and I are back together for over a month now.. you failed to come closer to me. So I want you to give me my right tonight and any further excuses will lead to another problem, because I don’t know why you are denying of sex all these time or have you contacted STD?
Haneef: Subhanallah! No! I reject it.. is not like that but wallohi my body have been yearning for you but I …
Nusaybah: we are having sex tonight whether you like it or not.. but if you failed to grant my wish tonight then it over.
Haneef: baby please listen to me! Please baby.. I love you so much but please hear me out.
Nusaybah: not another word from you! I don’t know why that’s a big deal to you? every men yearn for sex but yours is suspicious! Are you sure I had this twins for you? you cant even be a man! Haba! Ok let me ask you for the last time.. are we making love tonight or not?
Haneef: (looking for a suitable answer inother not to worsen the situation) baby listen to me please.
Nusaybah: ARE WE MAKING LOVE TONIGHT OR NOT! Simple question…
Haneef: ok yes! Yes!
Nusaybah: promise?
Haneef: I promise!!
Nusaybah: good! Now if you will excuse me I have chores to do.
Haneef: (sadly watch her walk away then he fell on the couch worried) what I’m I going to do? ya Allah! is this my second punishment.. I thought I’m forgiven.. (he rub his facce) what am I going to do?
**************************
Aminah got home and fell on the couch crying like a baby, her cries caught her father’s attention.
Dad: (worried) Aminah! What happened? (he tap her) my child talk to me.. what happened? I thought you said you are going to your sister’s house.
Aminah: (her cries increases) Baami! Sometimes I really hate her so much..
Dad: Subhanallah! Why would you say such a thing? She is your sister for goodness sake.
Aminah: (continue crying)
Dad: ok! Talk to me, what did she did to you?
Aminah: Baami! Do you know that not regaining her memories isn’t a good thing.. and she needs to remember.
Dad: why did you said that? Don’t tell me you tried to narrate the whole hidden truth to her?
Aminah: that’s what I was trying to do before I bump into her husband, anytime I set my eyes on him I still feel like strangling him.
Dad: awuzubillahi mina shaytoni rojim! What are you saying? Don’t let the shayton use you to ruin your sister’s life again o. besides she is finally happy.
Aminah: how sure are you Baami! What if he is still hurting her there and choose to hide it from us because you wont forgive her if she came home running again. the fact that she doenst remember anything isn’t right Baami! The truth need to be told.
Dad: (exhale softly) look Aminah! I can see you don’t understand your deen really well.. Allah is the best planner.. he is the best knower, he attack at the right time and he also grant wishes at the right time.. everything that is happening in your sister’s life is her kadar. Whether she remember her past or not.. that’s how it was destined to happened.. so who are you to force her to remember? Ofcouse she will see you as an enemy of progress.. you don’t have to force her to remember her past life unless Allah granted it. that is what you don’t understand. If people learn to understand that what ever happens to them is already written down to happen.. lot of people will just focus on the future and being a better person in their deen. You need to let go of the past and move on. Remember you are getting married soon? Is this how you will behave? Use your sister as an example now.. she is strong, smart and patience.. now she is enjoying her marriage and I’m sure her husband is scared to see her remember the past. Learn from her! And stop being such a pain everyone’s life. Life is more peaceful than you think but we choose to make it harder for us… anytime you visit your sister, anything you find you see it there and you know she will be prepared for you.. I was so happy you guys are finally close and I do blame her for not being nice to you but look at you now.. being a home destroyer? Atleast put yourself in her shoes. Life is beyond how you people takes it. my point is ‘let go of the past and move on’.
Aminah: (sadly look down)
Dad: I wont say more than this (he get up and walk away)
Aminah: (silent)
******************************
During the night 9:20pm
Haneef: ( scared to enter the room as lot of things was going on in his mind)
Nusaybah: (comes out of the room with a sexy night gown) baby! Why are you seated here all alone?
Haneef: (shocked to see her outfit and hurriedly look away) uhhhmm. I was just meditating.. that’s all.
Nusaybah: meditating? Just like that? (she sit next to him) look at me baby.
Haneef: (tries to avoid her touch)
Nusaybah: c’mon baby! Look at your woman.. do you know how long have been waiting for you in the room? Now look at me.. I want to feel your touch.
Haneef: (keeps avoiding her getting closer to him as he shift little by little away from her)
Nusaybah: (notice) what are you doing? Are you avoiding me again? am I not sexy enough to you?
Haneef: (hurriedly turn to her) nnooo! My love that’s not it! (he scan her body and quickly look away again)
Nusaybah: even to look at me is a problem? Why are you doing this to me? (she get up and sit on his lap) atleast you cant resist me now.
Haneef: (didn’t realize when he push her from his lap) baby please.. I’m not in the mood for this.
Nusaybah: (she sadly stares at him for few seconds then furiously get up and tried to walk away)
Haneef: (he grab her hand) baby please! Don’t be mad at me.

Haneef: baby please! Don’t go! I….i … it hard to resist you and… and.. I’m sorry.. I’m so sorry.

Nusaybah: leave me alone! I don’t want again! I’m not interested again… leave me oh (scream and smile at the same time) leave me alone
