Mr. Sherkan's Cold Wife

Chapter 15 Y&A

Hospital xxxxxxx.

Alessia's inpatient room.

Alessia closed her eyeballs for a moment when she heard the news delivered by the servant of the Khalid family, Tory's aunt, mistress Hana's confidant who gave the woman to her after her marriage to Mr. Khalid.

"Mrs Hana is dead"

Said the middle-aged woman more slowly, staring at her with teary eyes.

alessia's lips trembled, she looked at the woman before her with a pushy look, she tried to hold something in both of her eyes, Alessia bit her lower lip slowly then unconsciously Alessia's tear spilled.

When Death Arrives, Sidrat al-Muntaha Leaves Your Name will Fall to Izrail.

There is no creature in the universe that knows when he will die, not least Izrail the angel who took his life.

It has been narrated in the hadith of Ka’ab a1-Akbar ra., “Verily Allah Ta’ala has created a tree under Arsy, and on top of that tree grows leaves that are equal in number to the number of all beings. When a servant dies, and only 40 days are left, the leaf falls upon the place where the Angel Izrail is. Then he will understand that he has been commanded to take the life of the one who has the name of the leaf. After the fall of the leaf, then all the angels from that moment named (call) the person with the name “mayat” in the sky. The person whose name is recorded in the leaves was called a corpse by the angels from that time on, whereas he was still living on the surface of the earth for forty more days.”

Alessia's body trembled, she tried to hold back her sobs, turning her body quickly and trying not to let out her voice but whatever power she was unable to do.

Her crying voice could not be contained anymore, her whole body shook as she tried to remember all the kindness the woman asked to call brother.

"Call me brother"

They sat together in a corner of the hospital garden, enjoying the afternoon breeze where Dusk soon dawned.

Alessia was silent, turning her head for a moment towards the woman for some time, then she raised her head enjoying the gentle breeze that hit her pretty face.

"Treat Khalid well, you know Alessia? he can't do anything for the really small things, whatever he can't do without me because that's why I chose you, let alone prepare your own food, let alone, to this day she can not use her own work tie"The woman chuckled, trying to remember how her husband was.

Hearing Madam Khalid's words made Alessia silent, she then lowered her head slowly.

"I'm afraid I can't be the perfect wife for Mr. Khalid" Alessia said softly, she linked her two fingers slowly.

"Some say love sometimes comes over time, and again the most heart-turning is Allah SWT, then why should we worry about it?"

The woman answered quickly, staring at Alessia for some time.

Alessia turned her head, looking back at the woman with the pale face.

"Why should you choose me?"Always the line of questions hit him, of the many girls and women why he was chosen by the woman.

"Aren't you afraid that I'd be greedy and want everything without exception?"He asked again while looking at the eyes of the woman beside him.

Hana developed her smile, she threw away her gaze and stared at the twilight that began to disappear on the Horizon.

"I won't regret it, because some of it should be yours"

hearing the woman's answer made Alessia frown, she did not understand the woman's words.

Alessia's cry sounded bitter, like skin slashed into a slate, making anyone who heard it must have dropped her tears.

"Sister, I'm sorry"

Only that sentence was capable of Alessia releasing from her lips.
