The tapestry of happiness

He lit up with happiness
The lines on his face explicitly painted his emotions…
His eyes sparkled with deep gratitude of love and respect…
He held her close and tight wanting to protect her and the life she carried in her womb..
They didn’t utter a word….
Yet their body communicated words only their hearts could conceive…
She remained amazed at how the tiny life she carried within her had the ability to make him cry…
He placed his hand on top of her stomach while chanting verses from Surah Maryam
She could sense how his hands were trembling and how the strong man she known was now lost for words…
He was thankful beyond mere words…
She has sewed the tapestry of happiness in their lives…
She was the source of his happiness from day one
But now she has completely won over his heart…
That night as she was sleeping he kept on staring at her radiant face
She has finally completed him..
Making them intertwine in a bond that will forever remain unbreakable….
