Healing Her

Chapter 10

                       *****
INAYA

I had a good time with Yasin, I guess he is not that bad as I thought. But that closeness towards him just made my heart jump. I called Aunt Zara and spoke to her for a while. She asked me everything about Yasin, I could see how much she loved him! I called bhabhi and asked her to help me with dinner.  I wanted to make dinner for Yasin, because he made me feel better in the morning.

So? Someone is trying to impress her husband huh? She teased.

Come on bhabhi if you keep teasing me, I'm going to hang up, I said annoyed!

She giggled and said okay Inu, let me help you to impress Yasin, she teased again.. But somehow she helped me.

After cooking, I thought I would have long shower and I turned on the speaker and played my favourite song list. I was bathing while singing. This was my favourite part which I missed the most when I was single, I am a shower singer, and I really loved it!

YASIN

When I reached home, I noticed the front door was not even locked. She is too careless, I should tell her to lock the doors. I thought and looked around to find her, I heard music from her room.

If you can see I'm the one who understands you
Been here all along so why can't you see
You belong with me
You belong with me!

I chuckled at her childishness. She is literally singing in the bathroom she is a really terrible singer. I closed the door of her room and went back to my room quietly! So she would not notice me.

And then, my phone started ringing, I know it was Mohammed. This man keeps calling me everyday. Even my wife doesn't calls me.

Assalamalikum Mohammed, How are you doing?

Walaikum assalam, he said and asked me if everything was alright!

I knew something he was hiding. So I asked him I know you have something to tell me about Inaya. Why don't you just tell me? If I know about it I would take care of her when she is upset.

Is she upset? He asked concerned.

I told him, What happened in the morning. He said I'm glad she has you, mostly she don't cry in front of strangers and I thought about the flight incident. She was crying front of so many people. Mohammed said, I guess she is accepting you. At this words, a small curve formed in my lips.

Yasin though I want to tell you these I can't tell you. She should tell it herself. She has never spoken about it after that night. Only she knows the pain she is carrying inside her. We tired, even we send her to psychologist, But it's no use.

Listen Mohammed I know you can't tell me. But atleast tell me what's that bothering her. Even if you can't say the whole thing. Just tell me something, I want to know everything about her.

Okay! I can tell you only this, she is holding on something after our father's death. Please don't ask about my father's death, I don't think I would be able to ever say it.

I understood what he said, who else's would know the pain better that me? So I told him not to worry and we hung up the call.

I went to the kitchen and saw she has made Macaroni and cheese and carrot soap. Looks like Zara told her about my favourite foods. When I took a spoon and tasted it, Inaya came and asked, is it good?

Not good I said and took a plate and served myself some Macaroni and cheese, but it was actually good.

She took the plate from my hand and said, Fine then don't eat this. Let's just order something.

I snatched the plate from her  and told her, you can order something if you want. For me this is enough. I said and walked to the living room and was watching TV.

I saw her eating at the dining table and she looked a bit pissed. I chucked and she saw me, I was acting as if I saw something funny on the TV. Later when I went to wash the plate, I told her
“Macaroni and cheese was pretty good, but your singing is awful, don't sing in front of anyone”.

She made an anoyyed face and told me, you must be blessed to hear me sing and she ran off.

Maybe I am? I chuckled at her cuteness and walked to my room.
