Y A S M I N This guy must be sick. Who does he think he is. I know the amount he offered is quietly enormous but Nanny! I can't be a nanny, I have so much planned out for myself Insha Allah."Yasmin!" Matilda called out."Huh""I was talking to you since what are you thinking about?" She asked."Nothing" I replied with a smile trying to shake off the unnecessary thought off my head."You know the investors are coming today we have to finish up everything, I don't want to get on Mr. Sa'ad bad side." She said the last sentence with a grin.Seriously this girl is crazy"Worry not your hot Mr. Sa'ad won't do anything because we're rounding up now." I mimic her voice. **"I want each and every one of you to try his/her best this is a big project we're going up against our big rival, I hope you will all work hard on this project. Within this week I want each group to prepare a proposal have a nice day." With that being said he walked out of the meeting hall majestically with Linda tailing

Y A S M I NThe week went by so fast. We've been busy in the office with the latest project. Ever since that day, I didn't hear from Marwan and I must say that I'm glad because am not ready for any Nonsense of his."Yasmin can you please photocopy this." Max my co-worker said handing me a bunch of papers. "Two copies each." Can't he do by yourself?Am I his maid.All these words are directed towards him but in my mind. I fake a smile. "Sure" but in reality, I feel like strangling him.I place the paper in the machine getting an unusual sound. What's this. I pressed the button again but same thing. I think there must be a problem with the machine. I called Matilda to help me with it. And it's still not showing any progress."I think there is a problem with the machine why not go to the 2nd floor you can photocopy the papers there." Why must I suffer when photocopying is not even my job."Can you please escort me? Maybe you will bump into your Mr hawty" Her brows furrow for a while

Y A S M I NFinding myself in front of Marwan building, I mentally scold myself for what I'm about to do. I inhale a sharp breath before pressing the doorbell. After standing for almost 30min, Marwan appeared with a scowl on his face.What's wrong with this man?"Hey?" I find myself saying and it came out as a question but got silence in return. He left the door for me and walked away leaving me uncomfortable.The silence of the room hung low which made me feel some uneasiness inside me. I need to get this over with and get myself out of this uncomfortable house."Can we get this done hastily, I have somewhere to be." I started. He placed a cup of coffee and lean himself on the Couch folding his hands across his chest. "As you can see this is a serious thing also regarding my son so there are some rules to abide by." My brows creased in confusion."What rules?"He excused himself disappearing to one of the doors which I assumed must be his study room within a minute he came back wit

|Y A S M I N|"Good morning Yasmin." Matilda greeted."Morning matilda how was your weekend." And that's when she started blabbering about what she did during the weekend."How was yours?" She inquired in return. My mind wandered back to the events of yesterday.**I gasped catching the sight of Marwan struggling with his breath. My legs went on it accord towards the direction he's sitting."Mr. Marwan are you okay?" His eyes were red and swollen. Seeing him in this condition made me frightened. I don't know what to do."Let me call the ambulance you need to be taken to the hospital" I was about to stand up when a hand touches my arm, shock shot through my body, this is not good."You don't need to call an ambulance check the drawer from my desk, my medication is there." He mumbled letting out a hiss. I did as I was told. I gave him not finding any water nearby, I rushed to the kitchen and fetched a glass of water."Here's the water..." I tailed off finding him splattered on the floo

Y A S M I NMarwan's words had been bugging me throughout, I know what he said shouldn't bother me but I still have it hard to let it out of my head."Umm... Matilda, can I ask you something?" I whirled my chair facing her. "Sure what is it?" She replied back with a hint of curiosity in her voice."How do I look?" Her brows squinted in confusion. "I mean do I look okay, you know my appearance," I added almost immediately."God Yasmin! I thought it's something serious. Why do you even have to ask? You're a beautiful woman, I like how you keep your natural face and how you cover your head as a Muslima. I don't know much about Islam but I like how they dress," folding her arms across her chest she whispered. "Did someone told you you're ugly? Tell me and I will break his/her legs." She pulled her hands in a fake fist."No one I'm just curious." For some reason, I didn't want to tell Matilda about it just in case."Now let's get back to work," I said changing the topic.**During luncht

Y A S M I NI was pacing around my room thinking of a way to tell Aunt about the issue. Should I just tell her the truth? After contemplating for a while an idea popped up in my head.Okay let's do thisI spot Aunt sitting on the two sitter couch knitting. I inhale a sharp breath to calm my beating heart."Um... Aunt, I want to speak to you." I started my eyes darting from her knitting to the floor."What is it?" She asked."Um... There is this my friend at work, she has a son and she asked if I can take care of him as she's traveling out of the country due to some problem and she has no one to take care of him, so she asked me and I agreed, it is okay with you?"What a flat lie!"How long is she staying there?" She inquired. "2-3days." I watched her hoping she won't raise another question. I hope my lie will work.After a little while, she releases a deep breath stopping her knitting for a bit."Okay, No problem." I didn't know when my face broke in a smile."Thank you Aunt, he's c

He didn't call or text and I too will not call, if he's so full of himself so do i.I dropped Amir in school, glaring at his teacher as usual. Seriously I'm waiting for the right time to give her a piece of my mind.It didn't take me long to reach the office, as usual, I was greeted with a grinning Matilda. "Hey girl, I see you're smiling ear to ear what's the occasion," I asked placing my bag on the desk. The smile didn't leave her face, in fact, her grinning increases."You won't believe what happened to me today." She whispered yell. My brows cringe in question. She moved closer."I came together with the boss." She whispered just enough for me to hear."You what?""Didn't you hear what I just said? Mr. Sa'ad offered me a lift, so we came together." She said the last part with a squill."Oh.. I'm sure you're very happy right now." "Of course I am." "You are what?" A voice interrupts us. It was Max."O

I heard the sound of my phone which had been continuously ringing for the past 5 minutes but knowing exactly what the call is about, I decided not to pick.What should I do?I know Mr. Marwan must be cursing at me right now. It is not entirely my fault.My phone rang again for the 6th time, I let out a small hiss. Mom's name flashed across the screen. I held the phone tightly my heart beating fast."Assalamu Alaikum mo-" before I could finish my greetings she caught me off."Yasmin what I'm I seeing on the news,""Is that what I sent you there to do.""Mom-""I'm really disappointed in you, this is not how I brought you up" before I could utter another word the line went dead. I felt my throat tightening up.

Y A S M I NToday marked one week since our arrival and I must say mom was trying her best in taking care of Marwan and Amir. Sis Farah visited us too. She was surprised and also happy. 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

I heard the sound of the door closing, which means Marwan left.**I cuddled up in bed too lazy to lift my body downstairs, my only movement is when I had to pray, after then I went back to bed again but not sleeping rather reading some hadith I downloaded on my phone. The phone suddenly rang, a smile appears on my lips seeing the person calling me."Assalamu Alaikum. " I started in my most calm voice."Wa Alaikum salam, are you still in bed?" he inquired.
