Okay guys this is how I imagine Bilal but it's your imagination you can picture him as you like
Isn't he cute 🥵
Rahama came down to make breakfast but she found him already eating ,there were two flasks on the dining table he took another bite of his yam before he noticed her
His eyes softened as they fell on her , he swallowed and cleared the throat
"Good morning , how are you feeling ,? He said as he cleaned his mouth with a tissue
"Good morning , I'm all better thank you " she said as she made her way to the dining table she sat beside him
" come eat , a man came and dropped your car he brought the food ,saying it was from your mom " he said
Rahama nodded and she began to serve the food ,the delicious aroma of the food filled her nostrils she gulped she didn't even realize she was very hungry until she opened the flask
She poured her self a cup of tea and began to eat
Bilal watched her from the corner of his eyes as she chewed her food he heard her sigh with satisfaction
" the food is delicious your mom is a good cook I must say " he said wiping his mouth with a tissue ,he was done eating
Rahama nodded and continued to eat she missed her Mami's cooking and she missed her dad and she missed her old room she felt her eyes tingle with tears she swallowed her food but it went the wrong way she began to cough , she closed her mouth but then she couldn't breathe
" here have some water " Bilal said giving her a glass his face full of worry she eyed him and collected the glass from his hands she drank the water and coughed for a bit before she calmed down
" maybe you're eating fast slow down so you don't choke okay " rahama nodded again , she drank more water and continued to eat ,
From the corner of her eyes she saw him type away on his phone why was he still here ? Not that he was disturbing her but she still wondered he's waiting for you to finish and then he'll go ,that part of her mind said she ignored the thought and continued to eat
After they were done eating ,rahama cleared the table and they sat in the living room upstairs they were busy watching k drama when the door bell rang
Bilal got up from the couch and made his way downstairs, she heard loud voices along with Bilal's after wa few seconds , she was curious so she grabbed her veil and went downstairs ,
From the end of the stair case rahama spotted her friends , murja and maryam along with faiza she ran to Murja and hugged her tightly, " I'm so glad you came " she mumbled in her chest she pulled back and hugged the rest of them asking them how they were and what not they sat in the living room and Bilal went back upstairs
" amarya " Murja said giggling "how are you ? How was your first day in your marital home ? Murja said wiggling her eyebrows , rahama glared at her friend and smiled
" how's my brother treating you ?, you're glowing ! Faiza said taking a a video of her on Snapchat , rahama tried to cover the camera giggling
" won't you serve your friends who have come to your house for the first time ? Maryaam said glaring at her friend
" you guys are not guests ,but I'll bring you something dai rahama said as she stood up to go the kitchen
She was so happy she was actually a bit bored earlier ,she wasn't in the mood to watch k dramas but she watched with Bilal because he asked her too , she opened the fridge and brought out the drinks and two bottles of water she arranged everything in the tray and then she brought the glass cups too and arranged them and she made her way to the living room , a loud laughter erupted from Murja as she pushed maryam in a friendly manner
Rahama kept the tray on the center table and went back to sit beside Faiza
" what are we laughing about? " rahama asked her as she looked between Murja and maryam ,smiling brightly her dimples shown
Maryam made a friend the night you were brought you here , he collected her number after he dropped her off
Rahama smiled at her friend and teased her and they all laughed
"What's his name ?" Rahama asked wiggling her eyebrows
Murja simply smiled and changed the topic
They stayed for 4 hours all the while rahama forgot about her married life and she even forgot about her husband until Maryam said something
" rahama you've left your husband all alone you haven't checked on him since we got here that's not fair
" come on I'm sure he's fine he had her for the past 24 hours and we've only been here for 4 hours " Faiza chirped in
Rahama didn't care but she felt guilty a bit for some reason it's true she hasn't not seen him for hours but he's fine but Faiza was here and she didn't want to give her the wrong impression ,she decided against going but Still her heart was not at ease ,why did maryam have to bring it up ,she stood up and headed upstairs
They all laughed and teased her as she climbed up the stairs she blushed and smiled at them
She found him on the couch his back was facing her so she couldn't see what he was doing
She slowly approached him was he sleeping ? and then when she came closer she saw that he was indeed sleeping she looked at him one last time and turned around to head back downstairs
She climbed downstairs and made her way to the kitchen she decided to cook for her husband because he helped her last night , no he saved her life !
" hey guys I'm going to cook you're free to join me she said to them and they all stood up to help her
They went inside the kitchen as everyone picked something to do she decided to make cinnamon rice and shredded beef , Faiza made the salad and Murja cut the fruits Maryam arranged the table
After like 2 hours around magrib they were all done , they prayed and ate and then she escorted them outside to leave she hugged all of them and waved back as they drove of from the driveway she sighed and went back inside
What was she going to do now Bilal she forgot about him again she ran upstairs and when she got to the living room she didn't see him on the couch , she went inside his room and and found him praying on the mat so she decided to wait for him on his bed
After some time when he was done she waited for him to finish making dua
"I made food come down to eat " she said as she played with her fingers
She looked up to see he was staring at her his gaze was intense why was he looking at her like that
" okay then let's go "
They got downstairs and he sat in the dining chair and she at in the living room
" won't you join me ?" He asked as he opened the flask
" no I ate with my friends " she said adjusting the throw pillow
" well can you at least sit with me ? Please? He asked
she nodded and stood up she walked majestically to the finding table his gaze not leaving her she didn't meet his eyes she sat down beside him
" so you're now friends with Faiza ? He asked taken a spoon his eyes widened when he realized that it tasted good, he didn't know that she can cook, most girls nowadays don't cook his sister's don't know how to cook because they didn't like , they had cooks , he took another spoon
"Yes we're friends I really like Faiza she's so cool " she said watching him as she put her hand behind her head and leaned on the table she saw his eyes widened a bit and he took another spoon immediately she almost laughed did he thought that she was a bad cook
" well you we should be friends too I'm really cool you know " he said as he chewed
Rahama thought about it , they might as well be friends if they can't be lovers how bad could it be besides he looks like a gentleman he wouldn't touch her without her consent would he you can never know that voice in her head said
" sure why not " she said and poured her self a glass of water
" okay tell me about yourself "
Rahams paused " like how she asked
" like your full name and stuff "
" but you know my full name "
" yess but that's how it's is you just have to do it "
She shrugged " okay , my name is rahama Ismail , I'm 22 years old I'm a student of llb ... she paused s little trying to think of what else to say
" go on or tell me what you like to do like your hubby " he said and took another spoonful of rice
" I like to read and hang out with my friends that's basically it " she said chuckling
" you'll see the rest sooner or later I can't seem to remember what I like " she said and she heard him laugh a bit
" okay I'll go next , my name is Bilal abubakar I'm not a student as you know ,I ... he paused and then he continued I like to ride horses and play ball and I like to hang out with my friends too
She was curious so she asked " where do you work ? "
His eyes met hers and then he looked at the wall " l .. he started " I work at an oil company
Doesn't it have a name she thought or didn't he want to tell her so she didn't push and asked him another question
They asked each other questions and laughed at the ridiculous answer they gave each other they sat there for like an hour rahama felt like he was an old friend that she hadn't seen in a long time they clicked
She smiled as she made her way upstairs after offing the lights she went back upstairs and headed back to her oil tomorrow was Monday and she needed to sleep early
" hey" he said from behind her ,she turned round to face him he was standing in front of his room
" I really enjoyed our conversation downstairs "he said rubbing his the back of his neck
Rahma smiled and said " I honestly did too
Bilal smiled brightly " , I know you have a class in the morning and I have work too we could've watched something right
" yeah ... maybe when I don't have school he nodded and said
"Good night "
" goodnight " she replied and they both opened the doors at the same time and they stepped inside closing the door behind them
********
Rahama laid on her bed trying to sleep she thought about her conversation with her husband earlier he was afraid of cats too what weird coincidence she laughed at the look on his face when she told him how she loved cats when she was little
She smiled and shook her head squeezing her eyes shut to sleep
She was warming up to her husband
