Chapter 7
Khadeeja's PoV
I was in the kitchen and making tea for everyone.
Aunt came in,oh sorry got scolded off last night for this Mum came in,
"Ah! why do you have to be here darling,go to your room,I'll make some tea for us!"
She said smiling.
"Mum don't be so formal I want to please,I insist!"
She smiled at the change of pronoun and left.
My family is but very small, with just me,Qahtan,our parents and Samara and Saheer,the younger siblings. I gave Saheer his tea in his room and Samara hers in her room and finally went to Qahtan.
"Oh you're ready! So don't get a chance to be a wife who sets her husbands things up at the side and helps him get ready.."
I asked him smirking.
" No for the preparations, I can do that very little by myself and expect you to not spoil me to be the character of this beloved movie scene you want to act with me but,but however I would love to have my wife help me to get ready everyday"
He took me in his arms and swinged me to the other side. I picked his tie and helped him get it right.
"Am I ready?"
He asked.
"Yes...anything I missed?"
"I think so"
I gave him light peck on his cheek and we left for the breakfast. We had our breakfast. He would be leaving me to mum's house today,I hope Jana and Raidah would be there already.
I hugged Samara a goodbye and left.
We halted at a nearby florist,he got me some roses.
"You're being very classic"
I teased.
"Oh don't ask! I thought you'd day I'm being very cheesy and you'd tire off me"
"Tire of you? Never can that happen!"
He smiled at me and before iphe left the house he kissed me secretly and I waved him till he's car left.
"Mum I thought Jana and Raidah would be home!" I grunted.
"Oh she texted me,Jana is wanting a grand comeback entrance and what not! She's cray-cray!"
Rumii said while folding the clothes.
"Give it to me and don't work so much"
I snatches the clothes from her and started to fold them.
"You girls have spoiled me and now Rumera is all burdened Khadeeja"
Mum said sadly. I feel so bad,I can't have Rumii work. She is yet a baby.
The door bell rang, she excitedly rushed to open the door and it was Jana,scearming and they both hugged so tight,I admired from afar. Rumii and Jana are best friends on the extreme level.
And since she is back she cannot stop talking about Ibrahim and all I hear is 'Amazing' again and again. Mum shakes her head and I smile. MashaAllan though. I'm happy that's she so happy and Allah keep them the same.
It's was evening now,mum has called the third time for Raidah but her mother in law says she would be leaving in an hour.
"It's been hours since she said an hour each time mum!"
Jana grunted.
"We can only wait Jana,they might be having guests Jana, Raidah can't just leave"
Mum said. She looks worried too.
Dad is home today and every time he needs something instead of calling mum like he always does,he is calling us. It's his hidden excuse to see us in a way. And finally late evening Raidah was here. Jana and Rumii hugged her tightly and I was about to, I noticed tears. No Raidah! I hugged her tight!
I moved away quickly knowing Raidah would lose herself in my arms and mum would be worried so I took her hand and said.
"I want to talk a lot of thing to Raidah don't disturb us!"
I faked a smile.
I went inside the room and she hugged me again.
But she didn't cry.
"How are you?"
She asked.
"How are you!?"
I asked instead.
"Oh I'm good,very good actually!"
She said smiling.
"Oh..oh...I was so worried...you're not lying Raidah are you?"
"Why would I Khadeeja,I just cannot contain my emotions seeing you all! You look so beautiful!"
"And what about me?"
Asked Jana jumping in.
"Oh you look great!"
She said breathing so fast.
There was non stop chatter about how great things were for all three of us,Raidah was happy too and it was amazing. She was the only one I was worried about. For dinner, Ibrahim got us ice cream and we all had a lovely dinner. So soon again I have to leave.
And this time Raidah was the first to cry.
"Don't Raidah! Stop crying! Darling you can come whenever you want to see us,stop now or your sisters would cry too"
Mum consoled her.
"I'm not crying anyways"
Jana spoke with her eyes sparkling.
Raidah left first because she had a long way to go. Is she fine? I think so.
Then Jana left and then me. My lungs got heavy seeing only Rumii waving me a lone goodbye from the window. How cruel is this?
"She'll be fine"
Qahtan said.
I nodded,
"Allah is with her Khadeeja,he takes care of us all"
This though formed my Sabr. My little Rumii is not alone,Allah for is with everyone!
Janaziah's PoV
Everything is good and happy with him by my side,I have no complaints nor regrets,I miss my family but I'm grateful for this new family. However I feel lonesome now when he has started his work and University. His mum is rarely home and his brothers and their wives have left because they live away from here in other houses. It's a small family here,no sisters does he have, leaves a empty space for one in my life. I thought after I'd leave my sisters I hoped having the same relationship with my husbands sister but he doesn't have one. He returns late night and yawns.
"Coffee?"
I ask.
"No, I'm hungry!"
He says still yawning.
The dinner table is empty and I lay down the dinner and ask one of the house maid to call mum but like always I never found her home. Maybe she is gone to her sisters house for a stay. We ate by ourselves.
"What happened to my sunshine?"
He asked.
"Nothing,I just get bored without you. How was your day?"
"Nothing special, won't be working late from next weekend just this last week of over timing gotta fill in for all the days I took off for the wedding"
"Sure,work first!"
I cheered.
"That's a shitty quote, jaan first!"
He kissed my cheek and embraced me.
Oh needed it so bad!
I have absolutely no work to do,there 4 maids for different house chores leaving me only to cook if I want to.
I went back to the room. He's on his phone. He goes to the bathroom and comes out all dressed up.
"Where are you going at this hour?"
I asked.
"Just a little party,see you later Jaan!"
He said as he left me with a peck.
"Goodbye'' I said to the fragrance he left.
I called Rumii but she's not picking up my call. Maybe she's busy with mum. I looked at the time,oh it's almost midnight! She must have slept! I'm bored.... Should I call Khadeeja... No it's too late and brother Qahtan would enquire about Ibrahim. Raidah? No. Let be.
I changed into my night wear and later on my bed. When is he going to be home? Partying this late? It's not a good thing for sure,if dad finds out,he'd be very mad. It's okay,after all he's newly wed. That's not even a good excuse. Sleep Jana ,sleep! I can't sleep without him. Wow I'm I gonna tell myself now that I've formed a habit of sleeping beside him,snuggling him in such a short time! Actually that's true,I need him.
I look at my phone,it's 12:37am.
No way! It feels like eternity when he's not around!
I kept thinking about him. Huh. I'm tired.
Called him,he's not attending. Oh Ibrahim, being hard to get?
Finally he was back at 2:22am.
When I sat on the bed grumpily.
"Still up Jaan?"
He smiled.
"Why doesn't your Armani watch do more than show off it's self?"
"I'm glad you're up"
He said ignoring my frown,
He came to me and tried to kiss me but I shook my head and slept facing away.
"No way Jana! You can't be mad! I thought you wouldn't be like those sick old wives who nag at their husbands for partying!!!"
Am I being that sick old wife?
I don't wanna.
I looked at him,he's cool and all I know.
And khadeeja said always that be a pair for him as him. Play it cool Jana.
"I'm not mad, let me snuggle all is good" I said moving closer to him.
"You mean eat my hair cause that is all it means to me"
He narrowed his goreous hazel eyes and slept beside me.
I lightly punched his chest and smiled.
All is good Jana, he loves you. That is all you need.
