Aunt what's wrong, what's the matter... I asked as I saw a tear slip from her eyes and then there was continuous flow of tears.
                          
Aunt what's wrong, please tell me
My mom is dead...she said
Innalillahi wa Inna ilayhi rajiun
May her soul rest in peace. May she be granted aljannatul firdaus   ( every soul shall taste death)كل نفس ذااقثالموت
  
                          
After some minutes of her crying, she slept off resting her head on my lap.
                          
I gently placed her head on a pillow and went up to bring a blanket to cover her up with.
                          
After doing that, I quickly went to prepare dinner incase she woke up saying she was hungry
                          
While setting the foods on the dining table, uncle and Abduljallal looked sad coming downstairs.
                          
I guess they've heard about it.
Zainab, where's mom? Abduljallal asked.
and how's she feeling? Uncle asked
She's still sleeping, I pray she feels better when she wakes up، should I go wake her up to eat dinner? I asked
                          
No just leave her, let her sleep some more ... uncle said
                          
While we were eating dinner, aunt woke up and came to join us, everyone was quite until uncle spoke up
                          
  We'll be leaving tomorrow morning, zainab please help her pack up..he said
                          
Ok sir, I replied
                          
After we were done eating aunt and I went up to her room to pack her things, she would use when they travel tomorrow.
                          
Which box should I bring out? I asked aunt who was in her closet getting the clothes she was going to use when they travel
                          
The purple
                          
I brought it out and placed the box on her bed. Me
                          
As I opened it, pictures of a girl, from when she was a baby till when she was maybe 20 to 25 years of age was what I saw
                          
That's my daughter, her name was Rahma... When she said was, I already knew she was dead
                          
Is she also Abduljallal's sister?..I mean uncle's daughter?
                          
No I was married before I met Abduljallal's father
                          
You know , rahmah's father was very abusive, always beating and insulting me, so we ended up getting divorce
                          
I had Abduljallal when rahmah was 4, when I met Muhammad at a friend's wedding, we became really close and then our parents decided that we should get married, which we agreed on
                          
   At the period I gave birth to Abduljallal, Muhammad got transfer at work to a different place, that was when he met another woman who he  got married to there. She was about there months pregnant when he asked for a transfer back
                          
That was the reason why I wasn't friendly with you when you came here, I thought he would want to marry you but Alhamdulillah everything is fine now
                          
I'm really sorry, I didn't want to go through that all over again. That's why I was been conscious
                          
Aunt, I understand، no need to apologise
So, what happened to rahmah? I asked 
                          
Hmm, rahmah had heart disease, whenever she fell ill, we always thought it was just a small sickness, Which later turned to something else and then she died. It was all our fault, we do didn't take it serious and you know, rahmah was just full of happiness, she made people laugh but whenever she gets angry, she just keeps talking non stop, letting all her anger out.... Aunt smiled at the memory
                          
I've always loved having a girl around
                          
We talked a little more until we finished packing, I bid her goodnight and went to my room.
                          
I observed my prayer and laid down, thinking of all aunt went through then my thoughts drifted to my father
Where could he be?
Does he know he has a daughter?
                          
     I then started wondering why my mom left or maybe she left to meet my father and then they both forgot I ever existed. It is Soo painful not knowing your father and then your mother abandons you.
                          
  Was I  a threat to her? Or did she regret having me?...as a tear slipped from my eyes, I closed my eyes and slept off with all kind of questions on my mind
