MARJAAN- COMPLETE HALF OF MY DEEN (#YourStoryIndia) (#ProjectWomenUp)

Chapter 18- house visits

I gingerly gave him a hug, and the next moment I started crying.

"Why are you crying? Please don't cry." He was evidently startled by my crying.

"I miss Mumma and Daddy."

"We are going there tomorrow, okay. Now give me a good smile." He said softly.

I was glad I would be seeing my parents tomorrow and I thankfully hugged him again. He seemed to enjoy it thoroughly.

All my luggage had arrived and I spend the rest of the day arranging my clothes and his clothes, which he still hadn't unpacked. We spoke for a long time at night. I made sure that I set the temperature for AC today.

"Did you take your medicines" I asked him

"The perks of having a wife! Yes, my dear, I had my allergy medicines earlier. It has never been this bad you know. The egg session triggered it."

"I am so sorry you had to go through that. I had seen the pictures. They sure did break a lot of eggs" I teased him.

" Aha! So my wife has been spying on me." He teased me back.

I blushed and looked away.

"Lets sleep. Its getting really late" I said still looking away and we slept soon.

I woke up listening to his alarm and woke him up. It took me three attempts, but he did wake up in the end and I could already hear azhan from the mosque next door.

"I will be going to mosque, don't wait for me. There might be a sermon today, you go back to sleep " He said salam and left for the mosque. I prayed and went to the kitchen after that. I was thinking of making him some tea and luckily, the kitchen was deserted. I made some green tea, grabbed some cookies and took it upstairs in a tray.

He came into our room and looked surprised that I was waiting for him

"you didn't go back to sleep?"

"I wanted to make tea for you" I smiled at him and he returned the smile.

He drank the tea and asked, "Do you want to go for a walk?"

"Sure, Let me just change into my abaya "

I had never been to this place before and I didn't mind checking it out. There was a lot of greenery and we walked till we reached the lake. We sat down near the lake for sometime. I couldn't really believe that I got comfortable with him so fast. I spoke to him non stop during our walk and he turned out to be a good listener.

"Hey, I hope I am not boring you"

"Ofcourse no, Marjaan, you will never bore me. I love listening to you."

We reached home and slept for a while and he woke me up this time.

"Rise and shine, dear."

It was lovely to see his face when I woke up.

"Don't you want to go to your house?" he asked pulling my cheek.

"Ofcourse, I want to go."

"Get ready soon. Wear that pink suit. It looks good on you" He said with a wink.

I did a victory dance in my mind. I was so happy he liked the colour pink on me. Now I don't have to care about Afreen and Hima's flamingo taunts as long as my Husband was happy.

Breakfast was ready when I went downstairs and I ate to my fill. I waited for him at the car porch. He brought two sets of keys and playfully asked me which one I wanted to use today. The car or the bike? I chose bike instantly and I could see the delight in his eyes.
