chapter 7 Faridah is back on the mountain

When Faridah woke up she saw herself on the rocky mountain from which she had fallen into the deep vast river. She turned around to see where the river was but couldn't spot the river. She remembered that the eagles lived there and that she should go down the mountain as soon as possible. To her surprise ,she felt something

pinching on her index finger . She looked at her finger and found a gold ring with rainbow colored stones mixed together . She took the ring in her hand and observed the beautiful design and rainbow colors. She knew that this was given by that Queen Samaka Yaqut as she had not met anyone else. She showed gratitude to the Queen Samaka Yaqut and said " I'm truly grateful to you Samaka Yaqut for saving me and also giving me this beautiful ring . I owe my life to you and I thank you from the depth of my heart. "

She kissed the ring in the honour of Queen Samaka Yaqut and wore it in her index finger. The clouds suddenly appeared in the sky and from one big cloud an angel appeared and asked Faridah about her wish. Faridah was in total surprise and she just had no words to thank and appreciate the Queen Samaka Yaqut. She wanted to get down the mountain at that time so she uttered " I want to get down from the mountain "

The angel said " Dear lady , You can ask anything of the world and you are asking for getting down which is so easy and also you can go by yourself. You should have asked for some precious things".

Faridah told him " For now , I just want to be back at my hotel room and apologize to my husband for shrinking myself and going in the mountain alone and also I didn't even tell him what I was thinking. "

The angel asked " How did you come up when you didn't know how to go down? "

Faridah replied " I was holding my husband's hand while climbing up. While going down he went very fast without letting me know that he is descending. "

The angel smiled " You're too innocent , how can he leave you alone in the mountain when there's no one else here ?"

Faridah was struck by this . She didn't have a single doubt for her husband anytime and she always trusted him blindly. This question was striking like a siren in her mind .

The angel understood her suspicion and said "Please ask me to see what your husband is doing right now. "

Faridah agreed and told him to see what he was doing.

The angel took out a bottle and sprayed in front of her and she saw that her husband was partying in the enjoyment of getting freedom from her. She was speechless, she was unable to believe what she saw and she was taken aback by such behavior of her husband. She said " Dear angel, I thank you that you opened up my eyes to this sort of man. I thought he loved me but he didn't. I was so happy to be married to him but he ditched me. I don't know the reason why he did this to me. He should have told me before marriage . There was no pressure from any side to any one for getting married. It was our own wish and we were happy with each other . It never seemed that he was unhappy with me. " tears welled up in her eyes and she cried like a baby.

The angel said " I can help you to know the reason behind this but for that I will have to meet him and ask ".

She said " But why would he tell you the reason ?"

Angel replied" I will befriend him and ask and he will tell me all."

she said " Come with me and help me. I surely want to know the reason. "

The angel told her that she had the strength to descend from the mountain on her own and that she should do it and he assured her that if she needed help he was there with her all the way down.

After such assurance and assistance provided by the angel she decided to descend herself. The angel guided her to all the steps and taught her how to take the grip on the rock and remain calm while descending. She took step by step and soon she came to the bottom. She was so happy that she had learnt to descend from the mountains. She was eager to go to the hotel room. The angel stopped her and guided her to the cave near the mountain. There was a priest in white attire and he greeted them and he didn't speak a word but took them near a small plant which had some dark green leaves in it. He gave one leaf to the angel and one leaf to Faridah. Faridah didn't understand what was happening and the angel took her out of the cave and he led her to the way and the path she saw was totally different from which she had come. There were green fields all around with beautiful flowers and fruits. The smell was amazing. The view looked as described of the Eden Garden , the heaven. She was lost in the beautiful surroundings smelling the plants and touching them and looking as she loved them the most. She said " I don't want to go back and know that stupid reason. I wish to live here all my life ."

The angel smilingly asked " Did you forgive him ?"

She replied " yes of course, it doesn't matter now as I'm not with him any more. Let him enjoy his life and I enjoy mine."

The angel took out some kind of golden book and wrote something. She asked " What did you write? and why? "

He replied " It's my duty to write down when someone forgives someone "

She asked " What will you do now ? What else do you do?"

He replied " I am here for you because you have that ring and I will remain with you till the time that ring is in your index finger. My job is to assist you in all manners and follow your commands and guide you to the right path."

She asked " But do I need anything more than this ?"

He replied " You have all and that too beyond your expectations. How can you need more?"

she said " Then you can go , now I don't need you . You must go and help other people in the world ."

He said " how can I go unless you take out the ring? I must tell you that I only help those who believe in the Almighty and keep praying and believing all their life. When you will take out that ring, you need to throw it high in the sky. The ring will be in such a place that is unreachable. Only the person with a real good heart with good intentions and a desire for helping all will get it. "

Faridah once again thanked all those who helped her . She even thanked her cruel husband who had left her behind and also the eagles who attacked her because if all that would not have happened, she would not get such a paradise.

She took the ring out and threw it as high as possible. The angel disappeared.
