They first went shopping at a mall. She was continuously looking at the price tags before even thinking about touching the stuff.
"I'll be doomed if my wife is checking the prices like this." He whispered near her ear and she looked back at him.
"I was just checking."
"Love, I'm not that poor at not being able to buy the dresses you like."
"I know Umar, but I don't want to buy anything unnecessary."
"You can buy anything you want, I know I'm not rich like before to buy the entire mall for you but I'm still capable enough to buy you your requirements."
She looked behind her looking up in his eyes.
"I never wanted to buy the entire mall." She said looking in his eyes.
"So stop looking at those tags and buy whatever you like."
"Okay then." She said with a chuckle and chose one of the dresses showing him whether he liked it or not.
He nodded in response with a smile, she started looking for other dresses and he was choosing too.
"Tigress what about this?" He asked with a smirk.
She looked at him and her eyes widened looking at the mini dress.
"You are so shameless." She said shaking her head with a blush on her face
"Glad you already knew this, I'll be blessed in the future." He whispered near her ear and she smacked his arm with a glare.
They started looking for other dresses and he chose so many different types and styles for her.
"What about this?" He asked again and she looked at him.
"Astagfirullah. Keep that Umar." She whisper yelled, looking at one of the most revealing dresses in history.
"You will look hot in this though." He said with a smirk trying so hard not to laugh looking at her saucer like eyes.
"Oh yes I was thinking the same, but I think you might need that gun of yours if I wear it outside." She replied back with a smirk.
"Astagfirullah Eira, how can you even think of wearing something like this in the outside world."
He suddenly became possessive and threw the hanger on the stand and took her from there keeping his hand around her shoulder.
She started laughing looking at his expressions.
"My husband still has a little brain." She said with a giggle and he playfully glared at her.
They completed her shopping, and he brought so many dresses and abhayas for her, it was 4 years that she went shopping and it made her really happy.
She was looking around while he was standing in the line for billing.
She thanked Allah again and got busy looking for clothes in the men's section, she wanted to buy something for him but she wasn't having any money with her.
With a heavy heart she kept the shirt back in its place.
She then looked around and was looking at some random stuff, her mind got back in her past and a shiver of fear ran down in her spine.
She flinched badly when she felt a touch on her shoulder and immediately looked behind her.
"Relax love, what's wrong?" He spoke softly, while side hugging her.
She leaned in his touch and was breathing heavily.
"Nothing." She composed herself immediately.
"Are you sure?"
"Yes yes I'm fine."
They got out and she tried to take one of the bags but he didn't give her.
"It feels so nice to shop like this with you without those rock like bodyguards of yours." She said and he just smiled in response.
They never shopped this freely before but now they were just commoners for the rest of the world.
They sat back in the car and she was looking at him with a smile plastered on her face which was hidden under that veil of hers.
Her eyes travelled to his hands and she couldn't stop herself from staring at his hands, the way he was gripping the steering wheel and how effortlessly he was driving.
He followed her gaze and a smile crept on his lips, he never thought she could admire him with such intensity in her eyes.
He never took it seriously when they say that a girl's weakness is a man's hands but at this very moment looking at his wife's eyes fixed on his hand made him realise the saying was indeed true.
He wanted to tease her but didn't, as he was loving her gaze on him. He didn't want her to stop from looking at him.
He was cautious while driving but was even glancing at her from time to time as no matter how much he tries to control he can never stop looking at his wife.
Their eyes met like an ocean, brown sand mingling up with the cold and dark blue water.
Her eyes held so many emotions which she could never tell by her voice.
If he wasn't good at reading her eyes he wouldn't figure out the love in her eyes when looking at him but it was still like an unrealistic dream for him.
He parked the car to the side and looked at her, she scanned the surroundings and looked back at him as they were in the middle of nowhere.
"Eira."
"Huh?" She was confused.
"You are distracting me."
She was confused at first but chuckled.
"And how am I doing that?" She asked with amused expressions.
"You are staring at me and I can't concentrate on one thing." He almost whined and she giggled in response.
"Control hubby control." She teased with a smirk knowing very well about her effect on him.
They both know how much they affect each other and they enjoy it to the core to tease each other.
"You are lucky you are my wife." He mumbled shaking his head which made her laugh heartily.
She wanted to say not like his other girlfriends but knowing very well it might make him feel guilty remembering his past sins she stopped herself from saying it.
"What should I do now? Stop staring at you?" She asked.
"Ya Allah have mercy on me."
"Me too ya Allah." She said with a chuckle and he shook his head.
From his exterior he might be looking so fed up with her antics but internally he was out of this world seeing her getting back to normal and the wall between them finally breaking down.
"Now my dear stealer stop troubling your husband so that we can reach back safely."
"My dear donor you should work hard on your patience level."
"Darling if this man didn't have the patience level then this car would be filled with the cries and laughs of our children."
"Astagfirullah Astagfirullah. You are so shameless." She mumbled and looked out of the car fanning herself with her veil.
He chuckled and started driving. He was so amused looking at her. She didn't even move an inch from her place and her eyes were fixed outside the car.
He was really enjoying looking at her getting this shy just by a normal sentence.
"Sweetheart, someone is being so shy." He whispered near her ear.
"Focus on driving." She mumbled trying to stern her voice a little but it didn't come out.
He chuckled at this and took her hand from her lap and intertwined their fingers placing a lingering kiss at the back of her hand.
He felt her soft skin and gently kissed her knuckles. He was caressing her hand and again pecked it, her entire body was lit up in fire and her breathings were getting heavier.
He kept her palm on his cheek feeling that soft touch of hers.
"You are so calming love." He said in a low husky voice making her feel an entire zoo in her tummy.
He kept her hand on the gear and changed it, he was driving at a normal speed.
"Eira, I was thinking of keeping a reception. What do you say?" He asked casually.
She looked at him for a few seconds and burst into laughter.
"You mean our 3rd reception?" She asked amused.
"What's wrong with that, I would love to tell the entire world that I'm your husband."
"Even if you don't tell them I'm still yours." She mumbled and he snapped his face in her direction.
"Eira how much I love to hear this I shouldn't because first you belong to Almighty then you belong to your own self. You are not an object to be someone or that someone can claim you."
She was looking at him with wide eyes in complete shock.
How much he changed from before, he used to claim her as his and never felt tired of telling her that she belonged to him but now at this moment even after she told herself that she was his, he didn't feel like accepting it.
"What's that look for?" He asked with a chuckle glancing at her.
She just shook her head in response still looking at him with owl eyes.
They finally reached her favourite restaurant and he asked for the take away still sitting in his car.
He ordered all of her favourite dishes and she blushed thinking how he remembered every little detail of hers.
He pulled the window up and looked at her, she was already busy admiring him.
"Let's sit back." He said and stepped out of the car, she did too and sat in the back seat.
He sat comfortably facing towards her she shyed under his gaze and looked down playing with her fingers, he smirked looking at her.
"So my dear wife, how are you feeling now?" He asked with a smirk and she looked up at him.
"Alhamdulillah never felt this good before." She mumbled looking in his eyes.
He was about to say something but a knock came on the window, he pressed the button and the window rolled down, he took the package and rolled the window back and turned back to face her.
"Windows are tinted and you can eat freely now." He said and she blushed at his care, her heart swelled by his love and care and a warm feeling spread in her entire body.
She slowly untied her niqab and by that time he unpacked the food and was serving both of them.
They were facing each other, her one leg was folded and the other was resting at the side he was sitting in the same position as hers.
He took a bite first then fed her the next, she smiled and was looking at him without blinking in pure love.
"If you don't stop staring at me like this, my state can be fatal love." He whispered and she saw his ears and cheeks turning a light shade of pink making her feel awe.
"Umar you are literally blushing." She said with a giggle feeling extremely excited.
"The weather is so hot today." He tried to change the topic but she was in no mood for that as it was the first time she got the opportunity of teasing him.
"Yeah yeah so hot, 11°c is extremely hot you know." She teased with a smile plastered on her face.
"Yeah." He whispered and she started laughing hard seeing him getting nervous.
"Umar." She said and laughed again.
He got totally lost in her laugh, his heart was at peace and he felt an entire forest in his body. The view in front of his eyes was so soothing that he could never get tired of looking.
"Madam, if your laughing session is completed then shall we proceed with our eating session."
"Yeah sure Mr Jabir."
He shook his head but wasn't able to hide that smile on his face.
They started eating and she was enjoying every bite of the food, he was looking at her amused.
She ate a few more bites and stopped eating, as she wasn't used to eating a full meal.
"Done already?" He asked.
She just nodded in response with a smile on her face.
"And why is that?"
"I'm full."
"Eat some more love."
She took another bite for him but stopped again, as she felt like throwing up.
He didn't force her either and continued eating his own, after a few minutes they ate their dinner and he went out to throw the empty plates and give the left overs to the needy.
She changed her position from the back seat to the front by the time he came. She was on cloud nine after resolving everything with him and after years spending time like this.
He sat back in the car and started driving, she didn't even feel like asking him where they were going.
He was glancing at her from time to time and she was aware of it and it instantly brought a big smile on her face but it was hidden from him.
He parked the car near a cake shop and got down after telling her he would be back in a few minutes, she smiled looking at his retreating back.
She mumbled the gazillions of Alhamdulillah today for blessing her life with him again.
He came back after a few minutes and sat inside the car, he kept the content at the back seat and started driving.
They were in comfortable silence now, she wanted to talk to him about every single thing but for now she was quiet enjoying the silence with him.
He parked the car near a beach and her smile widened looking at her surroundings.
"C'mon love." He said and stepped out from the car, she did too and he intertwined their fingers taking her along with him.
They sat on a huge rock and were looking at the waves, it was around 12 am and no homo sapiens were there to disturb them.
He forwarded a small box in her direction and she took it with perplexed expressions.
She opened it and her mouth watered seeing her favourite cake in the box, the red velvet choco lava cake.
"Thank you so much Umar." She was extremely excited making him chuckle.
She took a bite and closed her eyes in satisfaction while his eyes were fixed on her.
She forwarded a bite for him and he ate it with a smile, they started talking about random things while she was feeding him and herself.
