Y A S M I N

Another week came by faster than expected. Both of us have been busy with office work, we barely see each other. After finishing from office i will pick Amir from Aunt place, put him to bed. Sometimes i go to bed without eating dinner too tired to cook. It was 7:00pm in the evening when we came back from aunt house, we didn't do much at the office. After freshening up, i wore a light beige gown tying my hair in a messy bun and wore a cotton cap.

Amir had already eaten in Aunt place so i just put him to bed seeing how his eye lid are closing on their own. During this past few weeks, I've gotten attached to Amir so much, the boy doesn't have any problem, quite and calm.

The kitchen was clean as always. I decided to make a potato with sauce and a raspberry juice. A smirk appear on my lips remembering the incident. I will make plenty just in case Marwan comes back early, my thought was caught short when i heard the door closing. It must be Marwan.

Not knowing where Marwan is taking me, i changed my clothes into a simple peach blouse with a small black veil, with a touch of nude lipstick and descended downstairs where i spot him leaning on the couch headrest pressing on his phone, Amir by his side."Ehem...." i cleared out my throat revealing my presence. Amir Ran to me and hug my knees with his tiny hands.That's my boy.

Even with the water pouring on us, I still felt the heat radiating off my body. The kiss didn't last longer when a loud sound echoed from the room, pulling us apart from each other. Suddenly the water stopped pouring, I don't know how it happened, I heard the movement of Marwan. Maybe he stopped itbut how did the water break out in the first placeI didn't dare to look up. I was beyond shy. It's as if my foot was glued to the floor, I couldn't move. The sound began again."I think you need to take that call. " Marwan said, his voice cracking at the end.I think I'm going to give that someone a piece of my mind for interrupting us Poor youI ran out of the bathroom, water dripping from my clothes and took my phone from the night stand.

My heart continued thumping not at what he's going to say, but at how his mood changes completely. Panic rose inside me catching a glimpse of his hands which fell over the table. "Are you okay? say something please, Marwan?" I bombarded at once, rushing to his table. I tapped his shoulder lightly."Pa-pa" he muttered to almost himself but I heard him.Ya Allah

Amir and Zara got along so well, they acted as if they knew each other so well. A smile made it way out of my face seeing Amir and Zara jumping around in the living room, As Zara refused to follow her mom back home saying she wants to stay with her grandma, and I know it's because of Amir."Good morning wifey," Marwan said hugging me from behind. I pushed him a little, my eyes scanning the surrounding. "Don't forget that you're in your in-law's house," I whispered enough for him to hear."And so, besides you didn't mind yesterday when we-" I shut him up by covering his mouth with my palms."Ever since we came you've become naughty just like Amir." his lips twitch up. "I'll be naughty just for you, when is your sister coming?" he asked which made me remember we both decided to go out for dinner today.

A hand touch my shoulder."Shall we" "Yes" I said letting out a sharp breathe.The drive to the airport was not so quite, as Amir couldn't stay calm, even the the a month of toys I gave him but the boy was still jumping up and down, he's growing up being stubborn nowadays."Can we cope with Amir like this" I whispered to Marwan, who was seated at the front. "Of course we can, he's now a big boy right Amir?" he turned his face and glanced at Amir, who was busy playing with the drivers seat pocket, hearing his father's voice his head snapped towards him, stopping at was he was doing."Don't worry Yasmin, it's nothing to worry about, beside I'll be with him too" As if he's saying the truth. when he start his work, he wouldn't even remember Amir nor me but I hope this little vacation will at least get him closer to him.

I stared at the white envelope in confusion."What's inside?""Open it and see for yourself" I tore the lid."Tickets?" I said taking out the tickets."Yeah, it's for us, we're going on a vacation," he stated tight-lipped."To my hometown?" I access the ticket, not believing my eyes. Marwan taking me on a vacation and that to my hometown. Before I could realize it, I find myself lunging my arms around Marwan's neck."Ya Allah, I'm so happy thank you so much" I grinned, he encircled his arms around me too, tightening his hold, as if he's afraid I will disappear. "I thought that it will be best to spend some time together with Amir, and I think why not go to your hometown. I know you're missing your family." "How sweet of you" he pulled apart, cupping my face with his palms. "You know, I will do whatever that wil

    Y A S M I NFriday AfternoonI was curled up in bed with Amir beside me, the boy had been sick since yesterday. I'm still on rest as per what Marwan told my boss, I am to rest for the whole week. Just the thought of staying indoors throughout the week without going to work excites me. Marwan is already at work, me and Amir being the only ones at home. I place my palms on his forehead and I'm glad his fever went down a bit. I've come to a decision that he will not go to school, we will spend the week together. Seeing it's almost time for Zuhr prayers, I pulled the duvet more to his body, getting out of the bed I went straight to the bathroom and did my wudhu and that reminded me of that night, the night we did our first kiss. The image is still clear in my head, that night is a special one for me. I prayed Zuhr Namaz praying to Allah to protect my family more and bless my marriage life. Getting married is not something I planned but now I realised that is what Allah planned.By the ti
