MY PRICELESS JEWEL COMPLETE NOVEL
The sound of his phone, alerting him of a message woke him up from sleep, he stretched his hands to where the phone was and checked who the sender was. He woke up quickly from his bed as soon as he saw juwai contact. He didn’t know why, but his heart gave a blast as soon as he saw her name on the screen.
He then opened the message content and read it. I didn’t know what he saw as the content, the only thing i saw was tears rolling down his cheeks. “No..no juwai, you can’t do this to me! Nooooo, don’t do this please”. He read the message for the second time again.
“Yaa arfaat, am sorry about this, but I’m getting married to yaa junayd in two weeks time. I had to make a decision like this for us both, please, stay away from me. As you can see I’m now someone’s wife. I wish you the very best life can offer. Bissalam”
“Why juwai? Does it seem like i don’t love you? Does it look like the feelings i have for you are not real? Why? Why a thing like this?” He said, crying so hard as he slipped down to floor, his head in his hands, crying so badly.
He couldn’t go out to work that day, as he had a terrible fever starting that very monday morning. Mai kunu tried her best, but to no avail, arfaat wouldn’t take drugs neither did he say a word to his worried mother. What he only think about is juwai and her so called marriage to be in two weeks time.
10days later
Juwairiyyah has been busy lately, but by mere looking at her, you’ll know she ia greatly disturbed. She has a lot in mind. Thinking about arfaat, this was not like him, arfaat wouldn’t have adhered to her warning, he still would have come over and hear it from her mouth, but he didn’t. Meaning he has given up already.
She walked in to hajiya azumi’s room, just to have some peace of mind.
“Juwai, are you okay?” Hajiya azumi asked slowly, only God knows what is going thru her head right now.
“Yes grandma, I’m fine”. Juwai replied, she then looked at hajiya azumi, trying to say something but decided to keep quite about it.
“Say what you have in mind child, i know you want to say something”.
“No grandma, just forget it. I have to go”. She said as she quickly left the room. She wouldn’t want her grandmother to get worried too, but She’ll have to call arfaat and find out if he’s okay or not. This isn’t like him. She called arfaat several times, but the answer is still thesame. The number is switched off”
Arfaat has been admitted to the hospital for the past five days, he has grown pale, and he looked weak. Mai kunu was super worried about his condition. She’s always by his side. Hoping that he’ll open his eyes, hold her hands and tell her what is wrong with him.

*30*Juwai felt it deep inside her heart, something must be wrong with arfaat, he’s not the giving up type, what if he’s sick? O yaa Allah! No please. She made up her mind to call him that morning, hoping that is switched on not off, she dailed his digits again, but the answer is still thesame, number switched off.
She let out a deep breath, her face looked worried and she was deep in thought, her mom, hajiya raliya had been standing behind her for almost 10mins. She knew very well that something is troubling her daughter, she looked worried and restless. What could be wrong with her? Could it be that she’s not inlove with junayd? That can’t be, she choosed junayd herself.
“Angel” hajiya raliya called her slowly, tapping her on her shoulders… Something wrong?”
Juwai blinked back into focus “I’m sorry mom, didn’t notice your presence. Nothing that much”. Juwai replied
Hajiya raliya sat beside her, taking her right hand into her palms, squeezing it tightly in a motherly love tune..”look at me angel, i gave birth to you, tell me whats wrong”
“Mo..m” juwai said, tears rolling down her cheeks “i don’t know whats wrong with me, i don’t know, I really don’t”. She said, as she broke into tears
“Shhhh….easy angel” hajiya raliya said, hugging her tightly in her arms. As soon as she felt the warmth of her mom, the pace at which the tears roll increase, she held her mom tightly, it took her almost 10mins before she could stop the tears. Juwai narrated her love ordeal, explaining every single detail.
After hajiya azumi had raptly listened to her detailed narrative, she sighed deeply. Her daughter is really suffering.
“Unnh!” She sighed again “I’ve listened to all you have to say juwai, but there is one thing i need from you. Will you give me?”
“If it lies within my capacity, I’ll give you” answered juwai
“I want you to be happy, live a happy life angel. Don’t comprehend your happiness for others to be happy. Look at me, i am your mom, i gave birth to you and your happiness means the world to me. Now, i want you to take your time, from now to tomorrow morning, i need a final verdict from you; and when that happens, i want you to say it with a big smile on your face. Please angel”.
“Yes mom, I’ll do that in shaa Allah”
Arfaat’s right hand moved a little, and then again. His eyes opened up slowly as he called out a name faintly.
“L..i..l..y…do…nt do it, s..ta..y wi..t..h me pl..e..ase”
Mai kunu stood up quickly, took hold of his left hand and held it tightly to her chest.
“Dan mama, open up please, am right here beside you”.
“Where is juwai? I want to see her” arfaat said slowly, his eyes still closed
“Juwai?” She asked surprised at his statement
“Yes mama, don’t let her do it; she can’t marry anyone apart from me. I love her so very much mama, i really do”.
“Hasbunallahu wa ni’imal wakeel!” Mai kunu said, her right hand over her lips. Could that be the reason he is suffering here on the sick bay? “Is she marrying someone else?”
“That’s what she told me, i can’t let this happen. It can’t be mama”.
“Shhh…you need to rest, we’ll talk about this later.
Over the night, juwairiyyah went over what she and her mom had discussed, she have to do something about this issue. Arfaat! Yea she love arfaat so very much, apart from that, he was her ex husband, and had it been her baby is still alive, then he’ll have been her father. On the other hand, junayd was her first love, her cousin at that. She knows very well how much he love her, she can see it, she can also feel it. What is the right thing to do?. She had a sleepless night, and almost near to subhi prayers, juwairiyyah made up her mind. She knows the right thing to do!.
Arfaat woke up the next morning feeling a little bit better, his heart ache, yearn to see or hear juwariyyah’s voice. So he asked about his phone. Dialed juwairiyyah’s number, who at that moment was sitting with uwani. She didn’t hesitate, and quickly answered the call.
“Yaa arfaat”. She said happily, “yaa arfaat, is that you?”
“Lily” he said slowly, his lips dry, and his throat sore.
“Where have you been?”
“Want to see me Tinkerbell?”. He asked, chuckling a little.
“Yes, i want to”. She answered back eagerly.
“When?
“In the night, i was about calling you. We have a meeting by nine at home, do come please”
“I will lily, in shaa Allah”.
They talked for few minutes, both feeling the love vibe and eager to see each other. Mai kunu looked at her son, and knew right well that he truly is inlove with juwairiyyah. Look how happy he looked after talking to her.
