AREEZAH✔️

° Truth °

I woke up for the second time today. But I wanted to murder the obnoxious alarm clock that keeps ringing too early in the morning. Sadly, I was the one that set it.

The first time I woke up it was around 4 in the morning, I stayed up until 6:00 praying. So, I decided to set an alarm so that I could get at least a one hour sleep. Today is a Saturday which means there would be no school till overmorrow.

I honestly don't know what I'd be doing  all through today to keep me occupied. I'm finding everything new and difficult might I add, if it were to be my father's house I'd be getting ready to go to the market. I don't know what it's like here.

I did not know if Jameel had woken up to pray, nor did I know the time he was going to work. I quickly got up and arranged the breakfast for him.

When I got into the room it was a mess, shirts were laying on the bed tangled together with the bed sheet. I sighed, he couldn't even make his bed after he woke up.

I didn't see him anywhere so I guessed he must have been in the bathroom. Plates from last night were cluttered together and somehow I found myself smiling knowing that Jameel had eaten my food. I dropped the new plate of food and picked the dirty ones to take them into the kitchen.

"Good morning," the bathroom door closed shut as he says. I paused before answering him. "Good morning, your breakfast is ready." I was making my way out when he started to speak again.

"Thank you, I'm sorry about last night. I didn't know what got into me." For a moment I thought it wasn't Jameel standing there apologizing but it was him. I felt like saying it was okay and maybe, I'd start treating him right but a person's character is always glued to him. I need not to be distracted by his words, he isn't just going to apologize for yesterday, what about the things he had said to me in the past?

"You think you can just say sorry and everything will be over?" I started, I knew I was overreacting and that this isn't the time for us to start fighting again but I wanted him to realize what he has done. Not just yesterday night, but for all other days that he has humiliated me.

"You'll just say sorry, and then the next minute I'm nice to you, you use it to your own advantage and humiliate me all over again? What have I ever done to you Jameel? Yesterday I didn't argue back with you because of some things that happened but I'm not going to let you treat me like a maid in my house. You had mentioned that this house is yours but it's equally mine because I'm your wife,   I may not have laid down a single penny for it's construction but I also have a right over it. I have feelings Jameel, I can feel it when the words hurts so badly," There goes my tears again who seem to don't have control. My back was faced to him which I was thankful for, I could feel that he was watching me.

"I'm trying to be nice to you but you just find a way of ruining everything Areezah, you should at least be proud that I said sorry. Do you know how many people yearn for my attention? Now you're standing before me as my wife, you don't even know how many would kill to be in your position." he said cockily.

"That is my problem with you! Do you think I'm like everyone out there who's dying to be with you? Do you know how suffocated I feel staying here with you? Do you even know how hard living with you is like? Of course, everyone would want to be with a two faced guy like you! You camouflage your real self, you disguise your stinky attitude into a sweet one so that everyone would believe that you are the nicest person on earth! But you didn't even treat me like that, you showed me who you really are from the start and you're trying to use my innocence against me. What I don't understand is why you hate me so much? Tell me why? Why do you hate me!?" Even though the truth would hurt, I still wanted to know what he has against me. Jameel's ego was something I couldn't deal with. He's the person who has the biggest ego in my world.
