Chapter 32 Suspense

Love and treat other loved ones like you want your loved ones to be loved and treated.

Mrs Ahlam.

"What's happening all of sudden?" My husband's voice snapped me from my thoughts he already stood up and was pacing around while trying to call someone.

He threw the phone on the couch and I rushed towards him with concern, tears streaming down both of our faces.

In a blink of an eye everything changes.

"I just don't know what's happening with mom, I feel like someone has been leading her wrong way, feeling lies she didn't even pick up my calls, or maybe someone has been threatening her," he suggested all ideas whatever came up in his mind and it was possible, she was pacing out a lot.

"We should inform dad personally, he must be waiting for her in their room, "I explained to him and he nodded I wiped his tears.

Both of us headed towards his parent's room but the sight just amazed us there he was Aahil's dad on prayer mate, hands above asking Almighty,  making applications we could hear sobs but we hose to remain silent.

" When did the two of you come and what are you two doing here, you are supposed to be packing as it is you have a flight tomorrow, "dad informed us as if nothing was going on and he was okey with everything, it he was just masking his feelings and blocking out everyone.

We both stared at him silently until he raised a brow and shook his head. He knew why we were here.

There are so many people suffering silently yet we finally see and complain about our sufferings. Count blessings and support others. Talking helps.

" Dad, stop pushing us away, we have decided we are not going anywhere until we find out what's with mom, we need to wait for her to come back and demand answers, we are with you in this, "I explained to him and Aahil just hugged his dad, both of them comforting one another.

Being strong for each other.

"Lately, she was being distant and spacing out a lot then she started her odd behaviour with Ahlam which just caught us off-guard and now she's been coming late for two days I just thought it was normal yesterday and didn't inform you guys but now it's same, the second day in a row," dad explained to us and my eyes widened with fear.

"I think you two should go, she will come around, must be at her friends," dad said but there was something in his voice when he said, he was hiding something.

"Dad, do you want to inform us something?you know we are family, we are always there for you and mom just the way you two have been supporting me and Ahlam," Aahil told him and his dad's expression softened, he just broke down we both rushed towards him.

"I feel like something is off with her even cash has been missing, it's either she has been helping someone or is in danger," dad came up with ideas.

"Let's not judge and rush to conclusions, we can wait she has said she will be back tomorrow," dad informed us and showed us texts of mom.

I just hope everything is okay.

We plan our trips, we plan our days but surely Allah plans best, and maybe we just something but Allah knows what's better for us.

****

We slept off very late, all three of us still hoping mom would come, I checked the time as I lay and stared at my husband, he yawned and he stretched his arms I smiled at him we both stood up to go and check up on dad.

We headed downstairs and the sight just shocked us,  I stood frozen on spot with thousands of questions running in my head and probably also my husband might be feeling the same.

"Mom?" Aahil kept calling her, as dad sat next to mom and we both rushed towards them with tears, shaky hands and fear.

Ya Allah, please help her.

What's happening to her all of sudden?
