Meant To Be (Islamic Love Story)

Chapter 31

"Its getting very serious. You're not eating like you're supposed to be" he said.

I huffed and sat in my seat. Then I groaned.

"Will the office even be open this late at night?" I asked.

"No, but the emergency unit will be" he said, smirking.

"Fine, you win this round, Rasul" I said.

His smirk became wider and I rolled my eyes.

"I love you too wifey" he said.

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

"Aseeeeefffffff" I groaned as he tried to shove food in my mouth.

"Eat" he said sternly.

By now, we were done praying and I was really tired.

"Aseeeffff, please, I'm really not that hungry. I'm really sleepy" I said, yawning.

He sighed and looked annoyed.

"I'm sorry, Aseef. I'm troubling you...aren't I?" I said, tearing up.

"No, no, don't cry. I'm sorry. I didn't.....um....please...I'm just frustrated and worried for you..." he said.

I started to laugh at his behavior. He was being funny.

"You're being kind of funny lately" I said to him.

"Me? I'm being funny?" he said, looking shocked.

"What?" I replied, innocently.

He smiled.

"Nothing. Look, if you're really that tired, we'll go to the doctor's office tomorrow after visiting Hadaf's place" he said.

"Oh my Allah, thank you. I love you" I said, kissing his cheek.

He nodded.

"Now, let's go to bed. You look really tired" Aseef said.

"No, I'd rather just sleep on the-ASEEF!" I shrieked, as he picked me up bridal style.

"Off to bed we go" he said, as I watched him take me upstairs.

"Don't drop me" I began panicking.

"Rahi, chill. You won't fall, I'm holding onto you" he replied, chuckling.

"Plus I've fallen harder" he said, with a smirk.

"There we go with the pickup lines" I said, rolling my eyes.

"What?" he said, his smirk still present.

I smirked and said "I hate when you use those pickup lines knowing they turn me on."

He laughed.

"Touché" he said, putting me on the bed.

"Now, sleep" he said.

"No, I need you to be next to me to sleep peacefully" I said.

"Okay, let me change" he replied.

Aseef left and changed into his PJs before returning and getting into bed.

"Why are you so distant from me? I need my teddy bear" I said, smiling.

"I'm a teddy bear?" he asked, amused as ever.

"Yes" I replied, before pulling him into my arms.

"I like when you hug me like this" he said, kissing my hand.
