Muftiah Is Sometimes Given A Brief respite... From Her Suffering... Even To the Point... Of Being Able To Go Out...!

Very occasionally... during the first year... Farlan... who was off at work... as an independent Electrical Contractor... calling his successful business... by the Received name of "MUFAR" ... being a combination of their names... would suddenly Receive...:

"Together...!"

And instantly understanding... his Inner Guidance... he would drop everything... and return home... where he would find Muftiah... well enough... to get up from her sick bed... get dressed... and go out of the apartment... with him...!

And Farlan... understanding that Almighty Allah... Was Giving them a wonderful Bonus... would see to it... on those rare occasions... that they thoroughly enjoyed their rare times... outdoors... together...!

He would either take her... for a scenic drive... way up into the mountains... or take her out dining... at their favorite restaurants...

And sometimes... they would even take in a movie... or two... or even three... in one day... if they had the time... and inclination... taking full advantage... by cramming as much as they could... into those rare... precious hours... of "Together"...!

At first... Muftiah could stay out... for the whole day... and evening... before fatigue set in...

But progressively... as the months wore on... and the Strokes Continued... her stamina... slowly decreased... until she no longer had the energy... to even get out of bed... let alone get dressed...!

Finally... the day came... when Almighty Allah... Permitted His obedient daughter... to get out of her sick bed... and see a doctor... but only for her itchy rashes...!

She was now lying... on top of the new waterbed... that Farlan had Received... to get for her... stark naked... because she could not bear... for any material... to touch her maddeningly itchy skin... all over her body... reminding her... of the trials... and tribulations... and ordeals of Job... in the Bible...!

And it took such great effort... to powder her body... which temporarily eased the itching... then to get herself dressed... and groomed... always needing to look her best... that she was utterly exhausted... before even leaving the apartment...!

And it truly brought home to her... how weak... her six foot two long body... had become... in such a short time...!

Dr. Young... a very friendly... sprightly... energetic... silver-haired man... in his sixties... also surprised... that she was much older... than she looked... deciding to examine her thoroughly... because of her actual age... of now almost fifty-three and a half... exclaimed...:

"There are so many things wrong with you... I don't know where to begin treating you...!"

But at least... he did prescribe... some special... medicated cream... to gradually cure the angry looking red itching... of her rashes... so that she could... once again... wear one of her favorite silky nighties... in bed...
