True love still exists with Eesher:
He waited for years to marry her, but death came just weeks before their wedding
In this week’s episode of True Love Still Exists with Eesher, a heartbroken man shares his painful ordeal of losing the love of his life just weeks before their wedding. A love story cut short, but it will never be forgotten.
Dear Sis Eesher,
“Zainab and I have been in love for six years. I fell in love with her when she was still young, a beautiful damsel with a good heart. I have never met a girl as calm, educated, and respectful as her. I’m saying this not because of the love I have for her, but because it’s exactly who she is, and everyone can testify to that. I waited for Zainab until she finished her university and did her NYSC. Zainab would ensure that I’m fine and doing alright. In fact, because of the love she had for me, she would tell her friends that if she didn’t marry me, she had cheated on me, and God wouldn’t forgive her.
Zainab has never made me angry nor ever cheated on me; she’s religious, pious, and educated. To cut a long story short, we have fixed our wedding date to be three weeks after Eid al-Kabir. Some months ago, hot water was mistakenly poured on Zainab’s leg, and we took her for treatment. She was treated, and a week later, the leg continued to disturb her. We took her to the Specialist Hospital, and that was where she was diagnosed with leg cancer.
Still, my love for her never changed because I love her so much with all my heart. I have been in the hospital with her all through her trying times. In fact, there are times that Zainab will say to me, “Ko wanan ci wo zai dauka rayuwata”, I’ll tell her to stop saying that, giving her assurance that she will be fine. Some days, she would say “ Baby, idan na mutu ko kanwata a baka ka aura. Idan ban aure ka ba, bazanji dadi ba”. I kept giving her hope until one of her legs was amputated. Even when many think I’ll go and collect my bride’s price or stay away from her, I never did. I was always with her in the hospital, where she had to ask me to go home and rest after work stress.
Friends and family, Zainab died yesterday. I almost fainted while watching the woman who was to be my wife dying in my presence. She couldn’t even look into my eyes as I was crying when she was passing through the pain of dying. Indeed, we are mere mortals under the yoke of death. We should have been husband and wife next month—but death cut it short. I’ve waited for her for several years to finish her university since that was her dream before getting married. All the years wasted in loving and waiting for marriage—are gone in a single day. I can’t love again. My heart is heavy and shattered. She was the first woman I truly loved.
At the burial ground yesterday, her father requested that I be given a chance to put Zainab’s lifeless body into the grave. I took Zainab and put her in the grave while crying. I felt like the world had dropped into my heart. My life can’t be the same. I’m sorry, I can never get a woman like Zainab anymore. Please, whenever you come across this write-up, pray for her soul to find eternal peace with her Maker. Pray for paradise for her. Until her death, she was a true definition of a pious woman. Allah ya jikan ta.”
Dear Anonymous,
May Allah grant Zainab the highest rank in Jannah and comfort your heart. True love like yours is rare—your loyalty is deeply moving. May you find strength in the beautiful memories you shared. May Allah bless you with a pious and understanding wife who will heal your heart.
