The Beginning after the End / Hafsa Idrees,

The Beginning after the End

A beautiful Story of real Love and Devotion

What can the fear of losing the ones we love push us to do? In Chrissie’s case, it has pushed her to distance herself from Allan, the man she loves more than anything else in the world. She knows he will not marry her, that they don’t have a future together. But why does “out of sight” not mean “out of mind”?

The wall that Chrissie has built around herself becomes a prison. As she fights for survival in the cold world she has created, she gets an unexpected letter from Allan. This letter changes her life forever.

"Hafsa Idrees tells an extraordinary story that will make you think about life, death, love and faith like nothing before. The Beginning after the End is a book with a big big heart and a deep deep soul. You don’t enter its world - it enters yours."

“Allan,” I whispered. “You are the man of your words.”

A brief moment of silence and I spoke again.

“I would come here every day to check up on you. Don’t make me miss you much, okay? It’s terrible!” I was talking to the bulging mud like a four-year- old kid.

“You don’t have to come here every day. I live right in your heart,” my heart told me.

“Do you?”

“Yes.”

“I will miss your face, Eal!”

I closed my eyes and I could see him smiling.

“This way,” my heart spoke again, “whenever you feel alone or miss me, just look at the spaces between your fingers. Remember that in these spaces, you can always see my fingers locked with yours forever.”

“Eal! You are making me cry,” I whispered, smiling through my tears.

“No! You are strong. I have faith in this. Don’t disappoint me,” said the quiet voice.

I placed both my hands on my heart and closed my eyes. With a sore tear I said:

“No I won’t. I won’t, ever!”

I opened my eyes and got up, waved and whispered: I love you. Miss me!”

I turned and started walking towards the road.

“You were my bestest buddy, a close friend, my baby. I just want you to know that behind you there will always be me.”

I was nodding and a voice from my heart was quietly telling me:
