Behind You Chapter 23
F A R A H "Can we be friends?"To say I'm surprised will be an understatement, the one and only Jawad who can't stand me is asking to be friends. I was a little happy my husband is gradually changing but kept a stern face not wanting him to see the happiness on my face "Who are you?" I asked. He doesn't seem to grab my words he just kept staring at me."Are you sick somewhere?" I nudged him a little. "Oh you don't seem to grab my joke, I mean are you really the Jawad I know" I explained.So now Farah you're acting comfortable with him. I don't know what made him laugh, is it my joke or me smacking him.Something is definitely wrong."What's wrong in being friends, we've been married for some months now and we can't stay like this forever like strangers" he stated."I have one question". I said sitting more comfortably. "What made you change your mind, as in why are you suddenly kind to me now". I asked.Seriously I need to know what made him change his mind that he's been kind to m

F A R A H"Good morning," I said the moment I sat on the dinning.A smile made it way out of Jawad's lips. "Good morning, how are you feeling now?"The event of last night flashed in my head.Shit Farah what have you done.I remembered crying on Jawad's shoulder. And the craziest part of it is that I told him I can't sleep alone. I've been so emotional that we literally shared the bed. Though we place a barrier between us, which made me feel a bit comfortable. Ya Allah this is awkward."I'm feeling much better Alhamdulillah," I replied back calmly."I've spoken to the security services regarding last night, I hope we'll find out something about the guy." I do hope the thief will be captured."So what do you want to do today." He said suddenly taking a sip of his coffee. His words caught me off guard. I still can't believe he's kind to me. Some part of me tells me I should not be comfortable with his new change of behavior.What do I want to do?"Let's just stay indoor, we can even d

F A R A H "Excuse me the patient has woken up and she's asking for Jawad." One of the nurses announced making us jerked away from the staring."Um... Thank you." He said, taking a look at me I squeezed his hands reassuring him everything will be alright. He held my hands tightly making me watch him in confusion."Let's go together, I know mom will want to see you too" He stated still holding my wrist. Reaching her room, he removed his hands from mine I suddenly lost the warmth of his hands.Poor FarahLooking at Aunt Khadija, she looks weak, pale, dark circles under her eyes, the Aunt Khadija I know is a bright, kind and cheerful woman. "Come my daughter." She said in a weak voice indicating me to come forward. She pats the spot next to her."How are you feeling now," I said."Alhamdulillah, I'm feeling much better, I'm sorry you had to leave your honeymoon so soon" she stated in a sad voice. "No don't say that your health matters the most" I ushered back. Jawad who had been watchi

F A R A H Aunt Khadija is getting better she got discharged and will take rest at home. She insists she won't stay in the hospital for more than 5days and to be honest, I also hate hospitals especially the food, it's as if they cook the food without any seasonings."Farah please can you help me with those papers on top of the drawer," Jawad said pointing to the top drawer while working on his laptop. I did as I was told giving him the papers something I didn't expect happened. He pulled me to him my hands landing on his chest. I could feel my heart beating fast and I know he heard it too by the amusement look on his face. He inches his face forward, I can literally feel his breathing, I closed my eyes ready for whatever he's about to do to me when I feel nothing. Opening my eyes he was watching me too with a slight smirk on his face."Something fell on your hijab." He stated.Ya Allah, what am I thinking? "Uhm... Uh. I need to go." My voice came out hoarsely. He furrowed his brows w

F A R A HAustin's face turns to that of confusion the way he notices the frown on Jawad's face. Jawad keeps pulling me closer to him which made me feel uncomfortable."Oh Nice to meet you, I'm Austin," he said extending his hands. Jawad eyed him up and down before he shook it."I'm Jawad." He stated roughly. "Wifey we need to check out the other section so-" before I could even say goodbye to Austin, Jawad pulled me along disappearing to one corner."Seriously Jawad, what's that suppose to mean?" I was beyond pissed."What?" He said as if he doesn't know what I'm talking about."I was talking to him and you came and interrupt us, you didn't even let me say goodbye." I placed my hands on my hip waiting for him to answer my question."Who is he?" He asked staring at me with some sort of emotion that I couldn't decipher."Just an old friend, you have a problem with that?" I ushered back. Taking a slow step towards me, he placed his one hand on the wall beside me, placing the other on my

F A R A HIt's been four days since the departure of Jawad. Myrah and Khalid also left early in the morning and now I'm left alone with Aunt Fatima in the house. Being away from him made me realize how deep I fell for my husband. I feel empty and lonely. Taking my phone from the Nightstand, I stared at Jawad's name across the screen. He called me once and that is the day of his departure and since that day he didn't call.Farah just call him, he's your husband.Inhaling a sharp breath, I pressed the call button. I sigh in disappointment when I heard his line was off.I hope all is well.Ya Allah protect my husband wherever he is.My phone vibrated indicating it's time for prayers. I perform Wudu without wasting any more time.I prayed to Allah to protect my husband.Stepping downstairs, I spot aunt Fatima busy in the kitchen. Masha Allah Aunt Fatima is a hard-working woman. How I wish she had a daughter or a son."Why are you standing there Farah come sit, the food is almost done." Sh

J A W A D"Mr. Jawad, as you can see to transport the products through the sea will be a little bit expensive and it will take a long time before it arrives at the destination." One of my project partner said"Mr. Phillips, I think this is the best way to transport the good, and last time I checked the money is not going to come out of your pocket. My decision is final." With that being said I walked out of the office leaving a stunned Phillips staring in space. Who is he to tell me what to do, I'm the boss.My door made a click sound indicating the door is open. I dropped my suit on the leather couch, slouching myself on it. As usual, I find myself thinking about Farah. My mind had been consumed with her thought, I can't seem to get her out of my mind. I don't know when or how that happens but ever since our trip to Dubai, I find myself getting closer to her, whenever she's close to me I feel something ignite in me like I want her to stay close to me forever. She looks so innocent ev

J A W A DI stared at my wife's small frame looking pale on the hospital bed. The doctor told us she's in coma, and they don't know the specific time she's waking up. I feel hurt and lonely inside. Is this what it feels to care about someone deeply, someone who you hurt by your selfish reason. This is all my fault, I shouldn't have treated her badly and now.Taking her cold hand in mine, I rub circle on it. "Farah, I know it's of no use saying this but I need to get it out of my head." A lump forms in my throat. This is not what I wished to happen."I'm so sorry for what I did to you in the past, I was blind by my selfishness, I didn't realize I've been chasing away a good and innocent woman." Holding her hands to my cheek I whispered. "Please Farah wake up and punish me for all the hurtful words and harsh treatment, Farah please don't leave me, I need to earn your forgiveness.""I'm sorry Farah""Please wake up Farah." I felt someone touch my shoulder. Turning I came face to face wi

Two years laterTwo boys were playing football. One was taller than the other. Looking at them you'll know they're siblings by how they look so much alike. A woman was seated a few miles away from them with a smile on her face."Amir be careful" she shouted when the noticed the taller one fell."Okay Mom" the boy answered with a toothy smile. She will forever be grateful to Allah for blessing her with the two lovely sons. Suddenly, a plate was placed in front of her. she let out another smile seeing her husband, the father of her kids. A smile on his face too."Amir and Siddiq" she called the boys. Upon hearing their Mom's voice, they stopped playing running towards where their parent are seated."Yes Mom," Amir said. Siddiq's voice which isn't that clear mimics his brother's voice. Siddiq was named after Papa. He reaches for the plate of fruits."No Siddiq, your hands are dirty. wash your hands first, then I'll give you your favorite fruits" the boy's face lit up. She pecked both of

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.

Y A S M I NEverything had been parked, the driver took them to the car. I watched the house, I feel like I'm living the house for forever. 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.

Y A S M I N"I almost forgot, I'm here to tell you something," he said sitting on the empty space beside me."Okay, then I'm all ears""Here," he said handing me an envelope. 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

"Should I call.?" he asked again. I hummed in return. 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. I hummed in return. "That m

Marwan got back to work, as he now has more responsibilities than before. We both were busy with our owns works. dropping Amir in aunts place as usual. Even with our distances we still manage to talk during the night, though it's not much but it still better than not talking."Matilda can you help me check this power point if it's okay for the presentation.

Matilda whose eyes was glued to the computer screen for the past thirty minutes, whirled her chair to my desk.

"No, I'm just asking maybe, you know we haven't visit Amir in Aunt place since yesterday. I told her about...." suddenly the door burst open cutting me off. it was the young lady I saw the other time with the woman. "What happened Naila?" Marwan started seeing the look on her face, so I'm not the only one who notice the frown on her face."Mom wants to talk to you. " she muttered, something like hate, bitter coming from her voice."Okay, I'm coming, just give me five minutes.
