Safaa

Chapter twenty three

"I'm sorry"  She mumbled.

And they kept quiet for some time, after which he admitted verbally that Safaa is quite boring.She admitted she was too and she couldn't help not being boring but it was a mood swing mayhap.

"Let's talk about movies" Ahmad suggested.

"No let's watch one" She said.

Safaa chose Romeo and Juliet for them and paused it while they were watching to ask Ahmad a question.

"So two lovers rarely have a happy ending right? But why?"

"Movies usually potray that,it's not a reality"

"But they are depictions of life" She pouted.

"You don't look good when you're sulking babe"

"I'm not sulking,why did they die?" She sniffed still snuggled to him.

"Seriously? Don't tell me you're crying because of a movie,the actors are there making money and you're here wasting your tears,No one's going to watch a tragic movie in this house again" He tried consoling her,holding his laughter..

"You can laugh alright,it's still one of my favorites" She sniffled.

"My bounty is as deep as the sea,My love as deep;the more I give to thee, The more I have,for both are infinite" He quoted pecking her cheek.

"I don't even know you read Shakespeare and After all those sweet words,they had to die" She croaked now crying earnestly.

Weird...Ahmad thought before trying his best to console her.

"Habibtee do I have to explain myself all over again? It's just a movie"

"Yes but a tragic one" She collected the tissue box he gave her.

"And you have to waste your precious tears for a movie? Do I always have to tell you that your tears break my heart?"

"Okay I won't cry because of a movie again"

"That's my girl,now Promise?"

"No I can't promise you" She grinned.

"Hmm Okay" He sighed getting up from the sofa to get the remote control which she tossed away while crying.

"We're not done watching you know"

"I won't let you watch it till the end,maybe when you watch where they commit suicide I'll have to go and bring Mama from Rigar Dala to stop you from crying"

"Yaya Ahmad do people like that exist?" She asked him.

"People like Romeo and Juliet?" She added.

"Well I don't know,can you do something like that because of love?"

"I can't kill myself because of love" She answered honestly.

"Thats what I thought,well I don't think such rivalry that exists between their family can exist too"

Safaa walked to her room without saying a word to her husband,she came back later with a book and pen and began drawing a puzzle.

He looked at her and smiled "You have never been this instinctual,I never told you I love puzzle but you knew, how? I'm surprised"

"Best believe you would be defeated"  She told him.

"Except if I play blindly then yes I agree, I'd be defeated"

"Why do you have to be a braggart?" She pouted.

"Of course I'd make you believe I'm a real braggart when I excel while you trail" He pulled the book and the pen altogether.

"Watch me play"

It overwhelms Safaa to see her husband acting cheerfully like nothing which threatened their happiness and peace of mind had happened.To her,he's the most understanding and scaring person on earth.He treats her like a princess and never complains about her childish behaviour which she potrays sometimes.They have been married for a week now and they have been happy,none of them brought up the issue of Moudu.

They will be leaving to Sydney in a few days and Safaa has been lazy to even begin packing her stuff.She made up her mind to begin after praying Asr.

It took her ten minutes to pray and then twenty minutes for her evening Azkhar before she walked to the closet.

"Babe do you need help with your packing?" Ahmad asked joining her.

"Ofcourse,You don't have to ask" She smiled sweetly.

"Nagode Allah,I've got a lazy wife"

"Yeah right,Thank you Allah for giving me a caring husband"

"That's the second compliment I got from you since we got married"

"That's not true,Lemme go and make dinner" She lightly pecked his lips and sauntered out to her kitchen.

Ahmad keeps finding it hard to let someone he loves so much out of proportion to execute a task that's tiring,To him She has limited capabilities while He has limitless capabilities.She's versatile but he wishes to do everything for himself,including things for her,to save her the energy she has to waste on any kind of work.

She came back after cutting the veggies to find him already done with packing a side of the closet.

"How?" She gasped.

"You're welcome" He smiled shaking his head,Safaa can get a bit dramatic sometimes.

"Do I have to do that side all by myself" She asked him with her best puppy eyes.

"You ask politely,just the way a loving wife asks her husband when she wants him to do something" He smirked.

He will do all her packing even if she didn't ask but he wanted to have some fun.

"Well uhmm?" Safaa began thinking.

"Go on Safaa,ask your husband not Yaya Ahmad"

"The noble Owner of my heart..." She began dramatically making him chuckle.

"How about you help me finish packing..." She continued taking small steps towards him.

"Anything done by a handsome angel like you is regarded perfect and glitch-free so I'd want you My love to help your poor wife,you will get two kisses on both cheeks as a reward " She finished facing him.

"Well not bad but I don't like the two kisses part" He smiled caressing her cheek.

"Well it's okay if you don't want the kisses" She frowned rolling her eyes at the same time.

"My crazy wife Come here" He said engulfing her into a hug and they stayed like that until Safaa reminded him that there's a lot of clothes waiting for them.

"I know,just be quite" He said still embracing her.

And she stayed calm,closing her eyes with a sigh of relief,she feels shielded from all the evil forces of the world while in his arms.
