*Amiras POV*
I've lived In this new house with Jahmaine for over 3 days now and It was just different.
Normally I'd be talking to Hadija or Aunt Hibatu but no, I was in our bedroom reading a magazine about makeup&fashion while Jahmaine was at work. I just can't wait to graduate and get a job and start earning my own income. I get £500 every 2 weeks for studies and most of that money I send to my family back in egypt or Saudi. But Im actually very blessed to get that amount of money if you think of it.
I prayed and then put on a black bodycon dress and a F&M (Franklin&Marshall) jumper over It, I decided to straighten my hair as leaving It curly was too much hard work and less presure on my head.Most of my scars had healed, I just had a small limp, and a scar on my temple. At least that ugly purple bruise had gone.
I went downstairs and sat in this house alone. Maybe calling up someone would help, Like Laila, I was still on a mission to find her a husband, and although last time became too out of hand, I promised myself to hold in my anger and be sensible.
I really just felt bad for laila, because she had been looking for so long and when the right guy comes along, he ends up having an attraction to me instead, which caused for me to fall out with everyone in my family including my husband, and a car accident which was minor Allhamdilulah.
I pulled out my phone and dialled Lailas number, after a couple of rings, she finally picked up.
"Amira, asalam aleikum" She said
"Waleikum salam" I replied
"How are you?" she asked
"I'm okay Allhamdilulah, how about you?"
"Im very well thank you" she said
"Anyway, Do you think you can come over?, you'll be the first person to see my new house" I said
"Oooh" she said excitedly "I'll be over In the next hour" she said, we finished off our convo and as a good cousin, I let her hang up first.
"Hey Amira!" Laila said as she stepped Into the house.
"Hi" I said hugging her.
"This house is sweet, mashallah" she said looking around, she then found her way to the living room and sat down.
"So, are you pregnant?" she asked settling Into the chair.
"What!?, no!" I said holding my tummy. "What makes you think that?" I said feeling insecure.
"Well you've put on weight" she said observing my face.
"Oh thanks" I said sarcastically.
"So why did you want me here?" Laila asked
"I was bored" I said shrugging my shoulders
"Errr...hello" she said waving her hand "you have a husband you know" I then kept queit, Laila sighed out and held my hand.
"What's up with you and Jahmaine?" she asked
"nothing" I said in denial
"he told me" Laila said, I then looked at her confused.
"Told you what?"
"He told me how that you been a bit distant, and he thinks he was the cause of the accident"
"Yeah I heard him" I said "I may have been at a point of death but I could hear everything", Laila then looked down.
"The guy loves you so much" Laila said
"I know" I replied getting up going to the kitchen.
"Don't you love him back?" she asked following me.
"Laila of course I do" I said getting a cup and pouring some juice In.
"Then show him you love him, when you was in that hospital bed he slept there every night and never left" Laila said
"Im just-"
"Just what?, stubborn?" Laila asked, I then paused for a bit and decided that I really needed some time to think.
"Im going out" I said
"Wait?, where are you going?"
"I need some time to think, If it makes you feel better I'll wear a bright jacket" I said walking out grabbing a red jacket which wasn't very bright but noticeable.
*Jahmaines POV*
"I actually don't understand whats wrong with her" I said to Mustafa and Abu "I think she's still angry at me"
"It was a minor accident and It wasn't your fault, remember she was angry with my Mum and Dad as well" Abu said, I shrugged my shoulders and slumped Into the chair.
"I lied to her Im going work just to give her space" I said
"Then your stupid, If I was you I'd actually go up to her and be like listen stop being a moody halal cow and forgive me already" Abu said
"But Im not you" I said laughing a bit"Anyway lets just talk about something else" I said
"How about my 19th birthday" Mustafa said "Which Is in a couple of months, and I wanna have a party!"
"Then talk to your dad about It" Abu said
"You guys are crazy, I need your help" Mustafa said
"What do you mean, by you need our help? your birthday is in december as well" I said
"But I want to get it planned early. Can each of you contribute £95" Mustafa said, me and Abu then laughed hysterically.
"This guy thinks were made out of money!" I said clapping my hands while laughing.
"We both may be working, but some of us have wifes and kids to look after" Mustafa said
"Please guys, I need to book the hall for 6 hours which Is £120, then spend the rest for food and a Dj" Mustafa said
"I'll think about it" Abu said
"Same here" I said. "Anyway Im gonna go home soon" I said yawning.
"It's not even 8 o clock yet" Mustafa said
"Yes, but I dont wanna leave Amira by herself" I said
"She's with Laila" Abu said
"How do you know?" I asked
"She posted a pic" Abu said, he then showed me at the pic I looked at Amira who looked so happy, I saw that wonderful glow in her beautiful face, If only I could see It face to face. I said salam to Mustafa and Abu, and made my way home.
*Amiras POV*
I'd been walking for nearly an hour and my feet were hurting me, i've been thinking about Jahmaine a lot. Damn, I really missed him.
I know it wasn't his fault, I should have been more careful and stayed home instead of going out whilst angry. I wasnt in the right state of mind. I had two options, should I leave for a bit and go visit some family in egypt and also get some tine to myself, or just stay and let things work out by Itself.
But I loved the guy way too much, and I was slowly pushing him away, It was time to save my marriage before It became completely destroyed at such a primitive stage.
I stopped at the shop to buy some drinks and snacks then made my way back home.
Jahmaines car was parked outside indicating he was home already, I went inside and slowly crept upstairs to the bedroom, I took of my headscarf and abaya, brushed my hair and put back on my F&M jumper on top of my black bodycon and went downstairs.
"Hey" I said to Jahmaine as I reached the end of the steps.
"Hey" he said going to the kitchen, I then followed him.
"You ok?" I asked
"Yeah Im fine" he replied, he then sat on the counter and pulled out his phone, I sat near him and he looked at me.
"Jahmaine, I wanna apologise" I said
"Amira just leave i-"
"No, Im sorry about the words I said before the argument and how I'd been acting." I began "the accident wasn't your fault, It was mine, and I definately wasn't blaming you" I said grabbing his hand.
"I just want us to go back to the way we were" he said
"and so do I"
"I really thought we were falling apart" Jahmaine said
"never" I began standing up "Do you remeber our padlock In Hawaii?"
"yeah" he said
"Well that padlock can never be unlocked" I said He then smiled and I hugged him tight.
"Woah cant breathe" he said holding on to my waist. I then slowly let go.
"I love you Jahmaine" I said
"I love you to Amira" he said kissing my hand then slowly kissing me and leaning forward into a long passionate kiss.
"But, I still need to clear my mind babe, I don't know how much this accident has affected me." I said
"What do you mean?"
"I think I need to go away for a bit, just me" I said
"why would you need that?"
"A lot has happend and I feel like everything has just crashed together and were slowly picking pieces" I began "I think the only way for these pieces to be picked up fast, Is If I jump on a plane and visit the motherland for a bit"
he then smiled and hugged me.
"Are you sure you don't want me to come?" He asked
"Yeah, It's not because I don't want you too, It's because I want to be alone, just me" I said
"Whatever you want" he said hugging me.
"I plan to leave a few days after my birthday" I said
"that's cool, I'm really gonna miss you though"
"I know and I'll miss you too, just enjoy these few months you have with me" I said
"Oh I will" he said winking at me.
"So I talked to the masters and stuff and they moved the graduation to 3rd August" I said brushing my hair into a tight ponytail.
"thats this saturday" Jahmaine said, I then nodded. Jahamine then sat on the bed.
"Im proud of you" he said
"Jazakallah" I replied "and Im proud of you too"
"Obviously, I mean what's there not to be proud of" he vainly said
"Oh wow, let me see" I said inspecting me. "I guess your 4 pack" I said
"excusez moi, Jahmaime does not have a 4 pack, he has a nice toned 6 pack" he said
"Well you know...I'll have to see it to believe it" I said
"You've seen It"
"actually I don't think I have" I replied
"Oh I see where your going to" he said laughing, he then took his shirt off revealing his toned muscles, how lucky am I?, Where did my mum find this guy?
"Ok, now I'm fully proud of you" I said standing up and kissing him.
"Of course you are" he said putting his shirt back on.
"Lets pray then" I said
After prayer we ate dinner that I'd prepared, I cooked a really special dinner for Jahmaine, as I wanted to fufill his needs as his wife.
"Oh yeah, I have something I wanna talk to you about" I began
"What Is it babe?" he said
"Basically, Laila is still trying to find a husband" I began.
"Yeah" he said
"And I need your help" I said
"Yeah thats easy, she can just marry Raheem" Jahmaine said
"Who in the world is Raheem?" I asked
"My friend" Jahmaine said.
"How old is he?, where does he come from?" I asked
"His 30" Jahmaine said "his also looking for a wife"
"Wow, well then him and Laila would be perfect" I said
"they have to meet eachother first" Jahmaine said
"Can you call him?" I asked
"Now?" Jahmaine asked
"Yes now please" I said
"Okay, fine stop pressuring me" he said.
"Hurry up" I said hugging his waist and pushing him on the couch.
He then pulled out his phone and called Raheem and It rang,I then pushed the speaker button.
"hello" I heard a deep a voice say
"asalam aleikum brother" Jahmaine said
"Waleikum salam, how are you?" Raheem said
"Im fine thanks, anyway are you still looking for a wife" Jahamine said
"Well yeah" Raheem said
"Well basically My wife has a cousin who's also looking she's called Laila" Jahamine said
"Thats great, I'd love to meet her" Raheem said
"Im pretty sure she'd love to meet you too Inshallah, I'll call you later for further details" Jahmaine said
"Okay thank you, salam bro" Raheem said
"Salam" Jahmaine replied.
I then clapped my hands in excitement.
"This is so exciting" I said "Is he handsome?" I asked
"his good looking I guess" Jahmaine said
"Obviously not as good looking as you" I said resting my head on his chest as I felt his heart beat.
"You always speak the truth"
Allhamdillah, I was so lucky to have this amazing husband, and this amazing life and family. I thank Allah everytime, and pray for Allah to shower more blessings on me and my family. Jahmaine made me a better person overall and I loved him so much for It, I couldn't imagine my life without him.
