Forever with you...

- What are you doing? He screamed while she was packing.
- I'm done with you Amir, everything around seems to be a big mess & I'm done with this situation. She shouted at him.
- But I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, I'm going to talk with my mother about this. She's just confused, my father isn't here anymore and she feels alone. She's just trying to take care of her children in the best way she can. He said while crying.
- Okay fine. You have an excellent mother that will never let you grow up, because you're a kid for her yet. Even when you're married and about to be a father also! She put her hands on her face as soon as she said so.
- What? What did you just said Amina...? He stopped crying and focus his view on his wife's belly.
- Nothing. I'm leaving. She said while she takes her bag and walk out of the room.
- This is not fair. And you know it's not good. He said looking at her eyes.
- Having your mother all the time around me, telling me I'm not good enough for his son. Having your brother begging me to leave you because you deserve someone better. Having your sisters ignoring me even when they don't know me at all. Amir, that's not fair at all. She said and her tears appeared.
- But I love you...
- That's not enough. Peace be upon you. Those were her lasts words & Amir never knew about Amina again.

10 years later... [present]

- Mommy.
- Yes my love?
- What are you doing? Why do we always come here? Mommy... did you meet daddy here?
- Yes.
- Mom, do you miss him?
- Yes.
- Mommy, do you think he still love us?
- I know he does.
- How do you know mom? 
- Because I can see his smile through yours every single day.


8 years ago...
The phone is ringing.
- Allo.
- Allo. Woman's crying voice.
- Who is it?
- Amina? Is that you?
- Yes. Who is it?
- Look Amina, Soraya is here. Amir is very sick, he got a heart attack last weekend. He has been trying to find you for this last two years but it seems that you changed your name, thanks God my husband is a detective and he got you. Can you please come back? The whole family will be pleased to have you back... Amir stopped laughing since you left, he doesn't even smile. We've tried to make him get a new wife but he doesn't even talk to us. We really need you...
- I'm on my way Soraya. Majida and I will be there tomorrow morning.
- Who?
- Your niece.
- Do I have... She couldn't finished because Amina hanged up.

They traveled. Amina found Amir on bed & hardly breathing. He was sleeping & looked so haggard. But he wokes up as soon as she went into his room.
- Amina! Amina! 
- Calm down Amir, it's not a dream this time. Amina is here. While she saw this, she cried, it was so sad to see the man she loves the most like this.
- Amina I missed you so much! cogh cogh. I'm sorry, I'm kind of sick.
- It's okay. And who's that little girl behind you? He said and smiled for the baby girl who was hiding behind her mother.
- She's Majida. 
- Masha Allah, she's so beautiful. You should of called her Noor. I bet her father is the happiest man to have her.

- Amir, don't you remember?
- Remember what...?
- I was pregnant when I left you.
- Did you have the child?
- She's the child. And Amir started weepend so badly that Soraya had to ask him to calm down. I think we should leave for now. Amina said
- Can I have my daughter for a minute please? Amir said trying to don't cry anymore.
- Yes. Amina hold her baby and put her on her father's lap.
- Hi precious Majida.
- Peace be upon you. While she was looking at her little hands and didn't understand what was going on.
- Masha Allah, my daughter has a lovely voice. Can you call me baba?
- Mommy... she said and looked at her mother scared.
- Go ahead sweettie. Baba hena.
- Baba...
- Alhamdulillah! I'm the happiest man in the world. Thanks Amina, thank you so much. 
- You're welcome habibi.
- Habibi?
- Oh, I'm sorry.
- I love you habibeti. He said looking at Amina and hugging Majida. He finally got the happiness he lost for two whole years but his health couldn't help it much longer.
After three weeks he died.

PRESENT
- I miss him mom... but more than nothing I need him. Did he really said my name should of be Noor?
- Yes baby, your daddy was the happiest man in the worldwide when he saw you.
- I'll call my daughter Noor.
- He'll be pleased.
- In sha Allah. Mommy, have you ever loved any other man since daddy passed away.
- No. Because your daddy has never gone. He's always with us in every single sweet detail the world showed us. No one understood why I marry him. I married your father because when no one showed me I was important and beloved, your father proved me I was the world for him. I left him not because I have any doubt of his love but I didn't want to separe him from his family. He gaved me too much & I didn't want to make him lose anything.
- Mom, don't you think we were his family also & he lost us?
- No baby, one week after he died... he said "Amina, you were, you are & you'll always be the queen of my life. You left me but you stayed here, in every single place we visit, in every single morning, in every flower. I can't explain how it comes that you left me but I never felt I lost you. I was just needing your care, that's why I got sick but not cause you weren't here. I love you & Majida more than to my own life & I have never stopped said Alhamdulillah since I met you for the first time."

Amina stopped talking & the tears appear again in her eyes. Majida hugged her.
- Mommy, daddy & I love you so much.
