Ahmad gets so much praised from his office colleagues whoever taste Sarah’s foods. Sarah always prepares food for him to eat in office…she said it’s not good to have food outside… She manages to awake very early morning to prepare food for her husband ...she said... homemade food more health and more hygienist…
Everyone who doesn’t know Sarah thinks her education background something to do with chief or something….But actually she is an architect and done her master degree in economy major..... But her truely dedication to her beloved children and husband make her decide to be full time mother and wife...

**************
Ahmad never worries about my home and his kids…because Ahmad trusts they are in the best hand….
Everyday when Ahmad comes back from office, prior to sleep.. Sarah always update everything that happened in the house… everything about their beloved kids.. She knows what zidan first word.. She knows when Zahra starts crawling, standing, etc ….
She seems can make all small things sound very interesting for her… She always share them with enthusiasm.
It just sometimes he hardly bear to hear what Sarah sharing with him….. the only words he hear from sarah is… “Abi… Abi….Abiiii…. Are you listening to me ?????…. Huhuh… Abi sleeping…. “
He wants to hear completely what his wife telling.. but sometimes it just unbearable to keep awake after work whole day….

“Hello”
“Assallammu’alaikum warohmatullahi wabarokatuh Ahmad, this is Mirna, I am calling you from hospital, Ahmad… I think you should come here ”
“Wa’alaikumsalm warohmatullahi wabarokatuh , what’s happened ukhti?”
[Mirna start crying….]
“Oh Ahmad….Akhi… please come here soon…… Sarah suddenly attacked by Asthma…. But this time is different… she is coma… she in ICU now…”
“Innalillahi wa inna ilahi rojiun….. I will come there soon….”
Ahamd run to the park and start his car… His tears unbearable falling down from his eyes… he wishpering "ya Allah please don’t take my wife… I love her so much I need her so much…"
He remembers how his wife always smiling, always checking him anytime when he is in office… always send his long messages…always ask if he has lunch ... He becomes so much pamper with all her loves and attentions…. He just cant imagine what will be his live without her….
He might have acted so much indifferent… It’s his lack as a man… He always busy with his jobs. All his doing just for the guaranty of the future of his family …. But that make him forget to give best care to his beloved…
Ahmad reach the hospital……..
He run straight away to the ICU room….. he meets Mirna and the rest family waiting outside…. Ahamad doesnt hear what they say… his mind only wants to see his beloved wife….
His wife Sarah is there…she is sleeping with some equipments around her…. MashaAllah she still look beauty and peace…. Ahmad holds his wife hands, he starts whispering on her ears… "I love you so much dear… please don’t leave me…. I promise inshaAllah will get you more time… We will have long vacation dear, only both of us… Please wake up dear.. talk to me.. I miss hear your voice.. I will be hear to listen you whole days and night…. "
Ahmad just crying….. his wife doesn’t response him…. He sees tears come out from his wife eyes… mashaAllah… She must hear what he says…
Ahmad whispering again more… he wishpering the word of tauhid lailaha ilallah many times……until he tired himself.. but his wife doesn’t response anymore at all.. until he feel tired and asleep beside her….
Ahmad awakes with the noisy around.. he sees the docter, the nurse busy. He sees they are pumping his wife chest, electricity shocking… etc… He just realize something happened with Sarah… he starts get panic.. put the nurse asks him to wait outside….
After some minutes.. the doctor come out…
He says… : "I am sorry Ahmad…. We have tried our best.. your wife has gone in peace… "
That word seem ruin all his world…. the pain unspeakable. As a true believer Ahmad only can says.. : "innalillahi wa inna ilahi rojiun….”
Only Allah knows best how it feels… Oh dear Sarah please forgives me.. May Allah give you the best place for you… The sun is gone….. The days will be so dark…it will be so much different without you dear….. . Lahaula walla quwata illa billah….
