Dinner

As they entered Amira's room, Busayna couldn't help but feel a glimmer of hope. She knew that Amira's words were sincere, and the thought of having a friend by her side during this difficult time brought her some comfort.

Busayna sat down on the edge of Amira's bed, her mind filled with a mix of emotions. Amira then asked to Busayna " Would you like to change your clothes? Busayna hesitated for a moment, contemplating Amira's question. She realized that changing her clothes might help her feel refreshed. With a grateful smile, she nodded and replied, "Yes, that would be nice, Jazakallah Khairan Amira."

Then Amira handed over a tunic which was a long loose gown to Busayna Busayna took the tunic from Amira and quickly changed into it when amira left the room to give her privacy. As she slipped into the loose gown, she felt a sense of comfort and ease wash over her.

The soft fabric embraced her body, allowing her to move freely. With a sigh of relief, Busayna put on the scarf to cover her hair which she was wearing earlier.

She then went to sit at the edge of the bed when she heard a soft knock on the wooden door she thought it was Amira but when the door was opened it was Maryam the grandmother along with Amira she was carrying a tray with some dates, meat with rice and milk of camel, Busayna stood up from seating but Maryam hurriedly went to her and  gently placed a hand on Busayna's shoulder, urging her to sit back down. "Please, my dear, don't trouble yourself," Maryam said with a warm smile. "You are beautiful like the bright full moon Mash Allah (As Allah Wishes) my dear Busayna" Maryam said with a kind smile and Amira repeated after her grandmother "Mash Allah" which made Busayna slightly blushed.

They didnt see her face since her face was covered by long veil now that she wasnt wearing it her beauty was not hidden anymore. As Busayna removed her veil, her radiant beauty captivated everyone in the room. The warm glow of her smile illuminated the space, filling it with a sense of joy and admiration.

Maryam and Amira couldn't help but marvel at her stunning features. Then Amira put the tray on the bed and told Busayna to dig in in the Name of Allah

Busayna felt a rush of gratitude as she looked at the tray of food in front of her. The aroma of the dates, meat with rice, and camel milk filled the room, making her mouth water. She couldn't help but appreciate the kindness and generosity of this family. It was moments like these that reminded her of the beauty of human connection and the power of simple acts of kindness.

With a thankful heart, Busayna reached for a date and took a bite, savoring the sweetness that filled her mouth. As she enjoyed the delicious meal, she couldn't help but feel a sense of belonging and warmth in this unfamiliar place. She knew that she had found not only a temporary refuge but also a family who cared for her well-being. Maryam then bid good night  " May you two have a good sleep Ameen so Im leaving Busayna dont be shy ask for more if you want to Amira" and left the room to sleep. Amira asked about her siblings Busayna while she was still eating " Do you have any siblings ya Busayna?"
