Jabbar.

I opened my eyes, I turned to the other side. Lujaina was beside me. I jumped out of the bed astounded before I remembered what happened between us last night. I quickly wore my clothes and left the room. I went into hayrah's room the same time she was coming out of the bathroom.

She looked at me and smiled weakly. Her eyes looked red and swollen. "Good morning" she greeted. "Don't tell me you've been crying all night" I said feeling doleful. She shook her head no. "You should take a shower and pray, I'll go get started on breakfast" she kissed my cheek and left leaving me dumbfounded.

Maya was still sleeping. I glanced at the wall clock, it read 5:57am. I quickly walked into the bathroom and had my shower. I performed ablution and prayed. I strolled downstairs to the kitchen.

Hayrah was cooking something. The aroma of the food made my stomach to growl. I hugged her from behind and kissed her neck. "Stop it mana, can't you see I'm cooking" she pushed me. "Noo" I grabbed her tiny waist and started kissing her neck.

"Jabbar!!" I heard someone yell. I released Hayrah and turned. "What?" I replied calmly. "W-why did you leave me in b-b-bed alone?". I gave her a 'are you stupid look'. "I-I just woke up a-a-and you weren't there" she yelled. I chuckled. "You got what you wanted! What the fuck do you want again?" She jerked back by the way I yelled. "I don't see any reason for you guys to fight please" Hayrah chirped in.

"K-keh I-I was t-talking to my husband" she hissed. "Foolish I-idiot" she added. I didn't hesitate to slap her hard. Her right hand on her cheek. "You can say or do any bullshit to me but not my wife" I said infuriated. She left crying. I looked at Hayrah whose mouth was wide open. She blinked once and blinked again.

"Is the food ready, I'm really hungry" I rubbed my empty stomach. "I..I I'll be done soon" she smiled nervously. I went to the dinning room and settled down waiting for my breakfast.

She arranged everything on the table and left. I finished eating my breakfast and went into the living room. I don't even know what to do today. No work, I'm stuck in this house. "Daddy" Maya came running. Ready for school. "How's my baby?" I asked pinching her cheek. She giggled "fine". Hayrah threw the car keys at me "you're taking her today". She sat beside me.

"No please, you take her" I threw the keys back at her. She rolled her eyes "I'll take her but tomorrow you'll be the one to take her. Deal?" I smiled "deal". She left after that. God I love my wife so much. She's just an angel in disguise. I don't see why my mom hates her.

I heard my phone buzzing from the centre table in front of me. I checked, my jaw dropped mid air. My mom! "Hello mom. Good morning" I greeted feeling crestfallen. "What's good about the morning!" She yelled. "Mom what ha-"... "Are you stupid? I never knew you were that foolish to hit your wife! Jabbar are you out of your mind". I didn't even know what to even tell her.

"Am I not talking you!" I rubbed the bridge of my nose with my fingers "mom I'm sorry but she insulted Hayrah-"... "And so what?" She cut me off. "You better go and apologize now before I lose my temper on you" with that, she cut the call.

I kept the phone aside and covered my face with my palms. "I'm back" Hayrah came in. "Salamu alaykum" she added. "Waalaikumus Salam" I replied. She removed her hijab and sat on my laps. "What's wrong?" She asked. "Nothing" I smiled.

"Are you sure?" She asked raising one brow. I kissed her neck and replied "yes I am". She stood up and left. I rose to my feet upon hearing the doorbell. "Yaya Ina kwana (good morning)" Aleena greeted scratching the back of her head like a criminal. Aleesa did the same. "What brought you to my house this morning?" I asked looking at them from head to toe.

"Mummy sent us... Uhmm aunty lujaina... Her food" Aleena said stuttering. "Hmm why? When hayrah was a Bride you didn't bring anything for her". They Both kept quiet looking at each other. I gestured with my hand for them to come in.

They went upstairs to her room. I shook my head. I went to the kitchen, hayrah was eating water melon. She loves fruit. "Hey baby boo. I heard the doorbell" she said. "The twins" I replied dragging a stool and sitting close to her. "OH" was the only thing she said.

XXxxXX

Hayrah.

I strolled downstairs to the kitchen to make dinner before Jabbar comes back from his mom's . I was halfway done cooking when lujaina barged into the kitchen. Her eyes were swollen. I haven't seen her since morning. She kept murmuring nasty things and hissing.

I just chuckled and shook my head. She grabbed me by the shoulder and turned me around. The next thing I felt was her palm on my cheek. She slapped me! I gasped "Lujaina are you crazy?" She laughed "d-daman Na fada, I must revenge. I c-can't j-just stand there like an idiot without g-getting a revenge. It's b-because of you I got slapped" she finished talking glaring at me. I just stood there like a tree looking at her blabbing. She didn't even know Jabbar is behind her.

"K-ke lemme t-tell you something. Wallahi tallahi you must leave th-this house for me. I must s-separate you two. Whether you l-like it or not you must l-leave him for me. Jabbar is only meant for only me. It's j-just a matter of t-time. With your own legs you'll leave this house. Mtsw stupid unwanted pork...".... Before she could finish talking Jabbar slapped her from behind.

He was about to slap her again when I held his hand dragging him away from her. "Hayrah stay out of this" he yelled. "No please Jabbar leave her alone" I pleaded. He snatched his hand away. He slapped her again "is something wrong with your fish brain. Are you stupid?" He yelled. Her hand was on her cheek looking at him. "The person leaving this house will be you".

"And who told you she'll be leaving this house?" Mummy came in from nowhere. I knelt down to greet her. "Keh Dallah leave this place!" She yelled. My head low. I walked out of the kitchen. I went to my room with a heavy heart. I just hope Jabbar is not in trouble. "Maami" Maya came in running. "Maami I'm hungry" she whined. I sat there looking at her like a dummy. How am I going to pass the living room without intruding. "Maami!!!! I'm hungry" she cried jumping up and down. "Let's go baby". I walked down the stairs slowly.

Mummy was blabbering nasty stuff about me. I pretended like I didn't hear anything. She really hurt my feelings. She always do, But what can I do? She can make him to divorce me. It's just a matter of time.

I was almost done feeding Maya when Jabbar came in. He was fuming with anger. I didn't even know what to do or say to make him feel good. I simply smiled. He pulled a stool and sat on it. He waited until I finished feeding Maya. He didn't say anything to me nor did I.

"Meet me in my room when you're done" he simply said and left. I gave Maya a bath and dressed her up for bedtime. I went To my room and prayed. I took a quick shower and dressed in my red silky night gown. I sprayed some perfume and checked myself in the mirror.

I walked slowly to his room. I was contemplating on whether to knock or just walk in. Who am I kidding, he's my husband. I opened the door slowly and peeped. "Salamu alaykum" I walked in. "Jabbar" I called out. I felt like my heart was stabbed with an arrow. The world stopped working for a second. Lujaina, she was on top of him. Kissing him. I walked out of the room. "Hayrah wait" said Jabbar.

"What!" I snapped at him. "Hayrah I can explain. I didn't.."..."you can explain what? The fact that you were making out with lujaina or what? Why am I even mad, she's your wife. It's not like you were.." I couldn't stop the tears from rolling down.

"Hayrah snap out of it. What you saw there was a huge misunderstanding. I didn't do anything. She was the one that.." I could see the devil behind him, smirking.

"Jabbar no need to explain please! Good night" I left him there dumbfounded and off to my room. I locked the door and went to the bathroom to wash my face. I looked at myself in the mirror for few seconds before heading back to my bedroom.

I went out to my favorite spot in the house, the balcony. I looked up at the stars. The cool breeze hitting my face. I breathe in and out trying to clear my mind. I can do this, I can deal with this problem. I'm strong!

I'll update soon Insha Allah💕 just don't forget to vote and comment☺️💜.
