Chapter 78: Returning to Khaidja to break the news

Remember to always try and be patient, even if the pain of waiting and praying enervates you; be patient.  When long periods of time flow by and ones you know have been fortunate and blessed in their prayers, while you lie in wait in anticipation; be patient.  For Allah does not waste His effort to the ones who act and gets things done, as He delays His response to hear you pray to him more.  Believe me, what is destined is so much sweeter than the resentment of longing.  Be patient.

Umar:

"Come on Mustafa, pick-up"

Extending my arm out, I pulled open the car door and hauled myself into the comfort of Khadija's ivory white leather car seats and immediately smelt the soft, sweet, but very subtle flowery fragrance of her that made my heart flatter.

"Oh habibi, I missing you so bad.  It hasn't even been 2-hours since I left you and I'm already aching for you"
