When Umar and Khadija Meet

Khadija:   

Allah is always kind Masha'Allah, it is us who are responsible for our problems. So, relax, He saw your situation before you did and is fully aware of it.  Let Him take control.

As I stepped into the walk-in shower, I reached out and turned on the shower thermostat mixer; instantly taking pleasure feeling the spray of hot water gushing out, working its captivation in smoothing and awakening my feeble muscles.  Twirling around, I caught sight of my reflection in the mirror through the thick clear glass of the shower enclosure and was shocked to see a distraught me staring back. 

"Can mom be right? Does Umar really care enough for me that my appearance will not matter? Even more so, do you truly love me, even after all I have been through?"
