Soyayya - A Love Story Episode 8

Episode 8:

There was silence for about or more than a minute. Then he told me she has cancer.

At that moment, tears rolled down my left cheek. I couldn't hold back the tears. They say men don't cry. But even the cry would understand.
I am a medical doctor, yet it felt as if there was nothing I could do. The best I can do is to help her last longer here on earth. That devilish illness they say really has no cure. My village people are sure at it again.

She wouldn't pick my calls, so I resorted to text message. I was not hoping for a reply though, but I needed to text her.

Do you believe in God? My message reads.

Your uncle called me and told me everything. And I mean everything. The possible reason why he felt we can't get married. But you should know me better than this my love. My love is from the heart. If it's not you then no one else. I just want you to give me the chance to hear your sweet voice again. I want the moments we share to ease away the pains. And I want you my love to believe in God. With Him all things are possible. And I mean all things.
Tears rolled down her cheeks as she read my text.

I can't deny the fact that you love me Abba. But I think this is what Allah wants for us. I can't afford to be so selfish as to tie you down with my burdens. I love you Abba. And that's the more reason why I want you to go away and be free. Go away and find a new life to live. Go away and find true love again. Can't you see? This world ain't for me. Even my uncle's wealth can't save me now. No amount of money can. And am sure mommy and daddy are already waiting for me.

Now tell me. Who need to be strong? No, just tell me. At least you said that yourself. You told me to be strong, you told me to relax. Even with the trials in school, your words kept me going. Now tell me, what of the moments we had, the time that we shared and your cute little smile? What of the promises that we made, that no matter what we face, our love will never fade? You are a scholar of the Holy Book. You should know better than me. Our God can do all things. Like where is your faith my love?

Stop it. Just stop it please Abba. You are hurting me with your words.

Can I run another test on you?
