Chapter 39

---------------Los Angeles, California.

------------------------Lily's Specialist hospital ( 11:00am)

" Faryah are you okay?" I heard Sophia ask as I slowly opened my eyes and saw her beautiful dark eyes looking into mine. " I am fine" I answered as I sat up right on the bed I was lying down on. I was in a hospital again. The ER. I watched as a female doctor walked into our cubicle with a wide smile. " You're awake now, that's nice miss, How are you feeling?" She asked as she came closer to touch my forehead. " I feel okay" apart from the heart ache. I still couldn't bring myself to accept that he cheated on me. He stabbed me right in the back. All the love he claimed to have for me, all of them, shattered in one single second. " Miss?" The doctor called and I snapped out of my zoning. " Sorry, I had something on my mind" I said and gave her a small smile. " Well I have good news for you Faryah, we ran some tests on you and we found that you are three weeks pregnant, congratulations" I gasped as the word " pregnant" escaped her lips. So all the nausea and cravings were pregnancy. How didn't I even think about that. " Here are the lab results, congratulations" The doctor said happily as she handed the lab results to me. I didn't know what to feel. I was happy that I was going to be a mother, but at the back of mind, I knew I was possibly going to raise this child alone. It was my child with Khalid, and after what I saw, I really didn't know what was going to come next. He really didn't have any excuse to deny what I saw. " Thank you" I said to the nurse as I smiled at her genuinely. " I'm going to be an aunt" Sophia squealed and I laughed at her. At least the baby was making me happy after all what I've gone through this morning. I was carrying a human being inside me. Ya Allah, please give me the strength to take care of it. " You really need to take care of the baby, so it can grow healthy, make sure you eat healthy and exercise daily. Avoid stressing yourself okay, come back for regular check ups on the condition of the baby okay" The doctor said and I nodded. I was going to listen to her instructions very carefully. I was going to make sure mini me was going to be happy and safe. " Okay then, you're free to go home now, be safe okay, and congratulations" She said as she walked out of the cubicle.

" You passed out at Pamela's, I'll take you home now okay, you need to rest and as soon as Khalid comes back, you guys will talk" Sophia said as she helped me down from the bed. I was willing to talk to him and hear him out. I was willing to forgive but I couldn't forget. The trust I had in him was gone, it was going to take a lot of effort to get it back. " Sure, we'll talk" I answered as we walked out of the cubicle. She signed some papers before we walked out of the hospital and went to the parking lot.

" Khalid will never do such a thing to you, I'm sure he can explain things to you okay" Sophia added as she drove out of the parking lot and we headed home. I really hoped she was right. I really didn't want us to be apart. I was too attached to him to let go.

I was going to trust Allah with this. What is meant to happen will happen and Insha’Allah we were going to resolve this issue.

----------------- Olyster Residence

It was 10:00 am. I left Pamela's apartment and went back home to freshen up before I could confront Faryah. I was glad Pamela held me back last night and she didn't let me go home, I would've done something bad to Faryah. I saw her calls and texts. Whore.

I parked my car in the mansion and hurriedly went to take my bath. No one was awake yet, it was the weekend. They always slept like this every weekend. There was no sight of Faryah, who knew, maybe she went back to see Khalifa. I got into the shower and stood there for long as I thought about what I was possibly going to do with Faryah. Even after all the pain she's making me go through, I still loved her. So much. Too much. I was willing to listen to what she had to say but I couldn't find it in my heart to trust her again. Even a bit. She betrayed me. She was supposed to be mine alone. No one else's.

I got out from the bathroom, got dressed and went downstairs. GrandPa, Dad and Mother were already eating. " Oh son, you didn't come home last night, where were you?" Brandon asked as I sat with them. " Yeah, where did you sleep last night?" they were going to find out eventually. It was best I told them. " Yeah, Faryah wanted to wait for you but she was sleepy, so she came home with Sophia and Ethan, and we can't find the both of them now" GrandPa said as I sipped the coffee I poured into my cup. That perfect taste. Faryah made it. I wanted to spit it out but I was too hungry too. " I was at Pamela's" I said as I kept the coffee aside. " Pamela?, I thought she went to Rome?" Mother asked as she chewed a sausage. " She came back yesterday for the Grand Launch" I answered. " Oh, how is she?" Brandon asked. " She's great"

" Why did you stay with her when your wife was right here, for you?" GrandPa asked. Sooner or later they were going to find out. " Faryah cheated on me" I let out and heard all of them drop their forks and mother cough. " You must be insane" GrandPa shot. " I am not insane, she had sex with someone else, a black dude from her class, on their dinner night " I said as I tried holding the tears from falling.

" What are you saying?" Mother asked and I took out my phone from my pocket and the played the video for them as I dropped it in front of Mother and she hesitated taking it until she finally did. " What is that?" GrandPa asked as he moved closer to Mother and took a look at what she and Brandon were watching.

" It's not true" GrandPa said as my phone fell out of Mothers hands and hit the table. " Why would she possibly deceive us like this" Mother said as I collected my phone from the table. " She couldn't, Musa will never do this to me, she was framed" GrandPa defended. " Dad she wasn't framed, I saw these same clothes on her yesterday, I knew they weren't Khalid's, how could she do this to us?" Mother was angry. Who wasn't going to be angry. " Dad, you can't defend her, she obviously cheated on Khalid" Brandon snapped too. " I don't agree, she was framed, how could someone as innocent and righteous as she is do something like this, you all are losing your trust in her just cause of a stupid video, you didn't see it with your own eyes" GrandPa yelled as he got up from his seat. " Well Dad, does this video look edited to you?, Faryah slept with a man that isn't Khalid, this shows everything, every single detail to convince us that Faryah isn't the trustworthy fucking holy saint" Mother snapped at GrandPa. I needed to calm her down. " Father, Zainab is right, Faryah cheated on Khalid, your best friend should know about this and all he wanted was to enjoy the riches you had that he didn't " Brandon said as he got up too. " Musa isn't like that, I trust them" GrandPa said almost in tears. I have never seen him like this. All because of Faryah. " I'm throwing her out of this house, a cheat doesn't deserve to live here" I didn't want to do that. " Mother No, you're angry, calm down" I said as I got up too and followed her to the living room. " Calm down?, are you crazy?, you know how I hate being lied to, she lied and pretended to all of us, all for what?, For the bloody money??" She snapped again as she paced around the room. This is not what I expected from her.

Faryah

I opened the door with Sophia behind me and it looked like we interrupted a heated argument between all of them. Khalid, GrandPa Julius, Mama Zainab and Papa Brandon. " Assalamu alaikum" I whispered as we walked into the awkward situation. " Good Morning" I greeted but all I received were death glares from Mama Zainab and Khalid. What was really going on here. " Why do you all look so pissed?" Sophia asked as we walked further into the room. " You whore" I heard Mama Zainab snap as she lunged towards me and I felt sharp pain across my face. What was going on?. The slap didn't end there. She slapped me twice again before pulling off my scarf and pulling my hair as she hit me harder in several places. " Mother, let go of her, what are you doing, what is wrong with you?" I heard Sophia and GrandPa Julius scream as they tried pulling Mama Zainab off me. What could I have possibly done wrong to them. She kicked me and pushed me to the floor as I winced in pain. My nose was already bleeding. " Get out of my house you shameless piece of scum, how dare you to come into our lives and make my son fall in love with you and you go around sleeping with other fucking men" Mama Zainab snapped as they all held her back and I staggered to get up on my feet from the floor. She was calling me a whore. How could she possibly say I slept with someone. Who did I know that I was going to sleep with. " What are you saying?" I asked as I cleaned my nose and walked closer to them. " Mother how can you make such baseless accusations towards Faryah" Sophia snapped too. I really didn't understand what was going on.

" She slept with someone on your dinner night" Mama Zainab shot. What the!?!!???!?!.

" What are you saying, I would never do such a thing, I am a married woman" I answered as I hid the tears from falling. " Stop lying to us, we saw the video, we saw the fucking sex tape" sex tape.

Me.

In a sex tape.

" Mother what are you saying?" Sophia asked. " Khalid show her the video" why was he quiet all this while. He was supposed to be defending me. I watched as he handed the phone to Sophia and I slowly walked to see what she was watching. It was a video of when I helped Khalifa when he was drunk. The video contained what really didn't happen. It showed that I slept with him. Who could've possibly done this to me. "It's not true, I only helped him get to his room because he was drunk and he threw up on me, that is why I changed into his clothes" I said as I took my eyes off the phone and looked at Khalid.

" Wow, perfect liar" If Mama Zainab said that I wouldn't have been this hurt. How could he say this to me. " Khalid even I will believe what she's saying more than that damn video" GrandPa Julius was defending me. " Thank you GrandPa, did you see her do this with your eyes?, this video is obviously edited" Sophia added as she stood by me. " Can't you just face the truth and ask for forgiveness?" Khalid snapped as he walked closer to me. " I didn't do anything wrong" I cried as I looked into his eyes. " You fucking lied to all of us" He yelled at me again as he slapped me really hard on the face making me fall to the ground. How could he bring himself to do this to me. " How dare you hit her" I heard GrandPa say as I endured the pain from the hot slap I received from Khalid. " You have no right to be mad at her, she's the one that is supposed to be mad at you, she caught you, no we caught you in bed with Pamela" Sophia snapped and everywhere became quiet. " I didn't sleep with Pamela" we heard him whisper. " I saw you, with my eyes, you have no right to judge me. I am trying to explain myself to all of you, yet you choose to believe a video, a video you didn't see with your very own eyes, but I saw you in her arms, in someone else’s arms" I snapped with tears as I poured out my thoughts with my cracking voice. I was up again, right in front of him. I was done being bullied, I was done being hurt by selfish people. All they knew was money. " I said, I didn't sleep with Pamela" Khalid yelled as he pushed me to the floor again.

" How dare you lay your dirty finger on my sister" What was Firdaus doing here. That was definitely her voice. I rose my head up and found her rushing to me. GrandPa and Ummi were here too. They were supposed to be here today. I really didn't want grandpa to see this. I didn't want him to be disappointed in me. " I am the only one that has the right to hurt my sister, how dare you lay your hands on her you bastards" Firdaus defended as Sophia helped me get up.

" You all don't have a place in this respectable home, liars and cheats, get out of here" Mama Zainab snapped as Ummi came to my side. " I don't know what you're blaming my daughter but I know she didn't do anything wrong, you don't need to result to beating her up like this like an animal" Ummi shot. " That is because she is an animal, a slut....a" Mama Zainab answered but Ummi hit her hard in the face making her stop talking. " Don't you dare call my daughter a slut" Ummi snapped and I suddenly heard a loud gasp for air. GrandPa. " GrandPa, GrandPa" I screamed as I rushed to him on his wheel chair. He was having an attack. " Let's take him to a hospital" I screamed as he almost fell on me from the wheel chair. GrandPa please. " Father, Firdaus call a cab for us please, Father" Mother cried as Firdaus rushed outside. " I'll take you, let's go.." Sophia offered but was cut off by Khalid. " Don't you dare do that" Subhanallah. Inalillahi wa ina ilaihi rajiun. They've done enough to hurt me, my grandfather was dying and they didn't do anything. A man was dying and they only stood and watched him. " You must be insane Khalid, come on Sophia" GrandPa Julius said as he and Sophia rushed GrandPa out of the living room.

" You never trusted me in the first place, I explained things to all of you but you didn't listen to me, you beat me up, you hurt me and to think I am carrying your child, your grandchild, to think I loved you with my entire being, all of you, wallah, mark my words, even though you don't pay for all what you've done to me here in this dunya, Allah will make you suffer for it in Akhira. Karma exists, you know that. Shame on all of you" I snapped with tears in my eyes as Firdaus pulled me out of the living room. " GrandPa" I called as I rushed to him in GrandPa Julius's car. He was lying helplessly. " GrandPa I'm sorry" I cried as Sophia got into the car and GrandPa Julius started it. He held onto my hand and smiled a little in the middle of his crisis. Ya Allah please help us.

We rushed him into the hospital and waited for a response for about ten minutes. The doctor finally came out with a sad face and I knew he was gone already. " we tried all we could" Inalillahi wa ina ilaihi rajiun. I couldn't believe this. It was all their fault. GrandPa would still be alive if they hadn't made go through all this.

He was gone. No turning back. I was never going to see him again. He was never going to support and give me lectures again. All because of them. They killed my grandfather. The people that claimed to love me killed him.

I will never find it in my heart to forgive them. Never.
