In life, it's not where you go, it is who you travel with.

Marwa's POV

It's 7:30pm when we get to zaidan's place and we entered the house, we met my in-laws and some of their relatives dining. I feel awkward not being around people I have a good rapport with. As if my mother in-law read my mind, she called me and I make way to where she is.

Here I am, aunt, I said

I'm not aunt again since you're now married to my son, you call me what he calls me, she said smiling

Na'am ma, I said

Where's zaidan? He's not in his room, asked laila and humaira

He went out, said mother in-law

To where? They asked in unison

He's scared, he didn't know how to welcome his wife, said ummi

Oh!! I see, they said

After a long time of chatting with ummi, Abba, laila, humaira and others, I found myself laughing hysterically, I'm already feeling sleepy, so I made gesture to laila that I want to sleep and she understand what I meant. She was about to take me to the room when ummi told her to take me to the room so I can rest. We head upstairs, the nooks and crannies of the house are all beautiful. The house as an hi-tech installed in it since zaidan is a software engineer and the house also has Wi-Fi.

Here is your room, said laila and she opened the door of a very large and well decorated room.

Jazakallah khair jaza, I said

Wa'iyyakum, make yourself comfortable, call me or humaira if you need anything, said laila and she left

I stood still after laila left admiring the room,it's an extra large room with a living room in it. I checked the closet and the bathroom. I saw my luggages beside the closet, I decided to unpack it but I'm feeling sleepy, I slumped on the king sized bed without changing from the wedding dress to pyjamas

Zaidan's POV

I couldn't stay at home when I texted laila and asked her where they were and she told me that they are almost home. I quickly told my parents that I need to get something not knowing that they know what I am up to. I came back around 9pm and I met my two troublesome cousins, humaira and laila in the living room while others are asleep.

Why are you girls still up? I questioned

Nothing, just waiting for our brother, they replied

Oh!!! What's it? I am here, I said smiling

You didn't know how to welcome her, that was why you left home, said humaira

Ya, I'm scared, I said frankly

Scared of what? Laila asked

Scared of marwa or how to start a conversation with her, said humaira jokingly

I just don't know, I said confusingly

Okay, they replied

Where is she? I inquired

She's in the room, humaira answered
