after I got finished with the patient I went back to the canteen and no one was there. what the fuck.
I walked back to my cabin and found everyone there.
"what in the actual fuck!"
"mind your language Ashi." Hussain was glaring at Me.
"don't use my words in me sweetie."
"ok..well I gotta go.."
"what...we didn't even spend time together."
"babe, you're coming home in a bit."
"I know but still..." he kissed me and left.
"so what were yall talking about?"
"non of your business." Amy snapped at me.
"excuse me? last time I checked he was MY husband."
"yeah so?"
"ughh I'm going back to work."
~.~
I finished up my shift and was about to get in my car.
"dr.ashi!" I turned around and saw armaan running towards me. Allah please help me...he ran once he noticed I tried to avoid him. once he reached me he held his hand out in front of me.
I raised my eyebrow in confusion.
"it was nice to work with you. I had a great first day. couldn't have been better."
I shook his hand and gave him a smile. "you're a good intern..im sure you'll be a great doctor."
"thank you ma'am."
"now go home..it's getting late."
he smiled and turned and walked to the elevator.
I got into my car and connected my phone to the aux cord and played the Saavn app.
I was driving home and I got a call from my mom.
"hello."
"hello. Ashi? Kaise ho?"
"mein Thk hoon mama. aap Kaise ho?"
"mein bilkul Thk..Acha maine phone kiya tha yeh poochne ke liye ke kal birthday ke liye kya chiye?"
"mom! I don't want anything for my birthday..I have everything I need...all I would like are baby clothes."
"consider it done..anything else? from baba?"
"no mom..I'm fine."
"ok chalo..I'll go now."
"bye mamma."
I hung up and realized my birthday was tomorrow!not even tomorrow, it was going to start in 25 minutes.
when I got home, all the lights were off. usually hussain will wait for me. maybe he was just really tired today.
I walked up to my front door and unlocked it.
when I opened the door I walked in and went straight to my bedroom. I was so exhausted! I usually worked 5 days a week, but amy gave me the rest of the week off...I don't know why...I would've understood only tomorrow, but the whole week? I don't know what's going on in her head. she's crazy but I love her.
I walked in the bedroom and saw hussain sleeping. uff I loved it. he looked so cute sleeping. if I ever told him that he'd kill me because I said cute.
I went to my closet and changed into a pair of black leggings and a white tank top. I did my usual night routine and walked over to the bed. I looked at hussain for a minute before laying down. I laid down and snuggled on hussains bare chest. he had a habit of sleeping in a pair of gym shorts or sometimes his boxers.
"you're back?" he said in a sleepy voice.
"yeah."
"happy birthday." I felt him kiss my head." I tried to stay up until you came back..but I couldn't stay up." I kissed his chin. "thank you. and it's alright...atleast you're the first one to wish me."
"you're welcome." he tightened his grip around me and went to sleep..and soon enough I was in deep sleep.
~.~ the next morning~.~
I woke up to no hussain next to me..it was col without hussain next to me. I wasn't woken up once last night because of the kids. it's really sweet of hussain to get up over and over for the kids. although I hate getting special treatment on my birthday or any day. it's just not the type of person I am.
"goooood morning!!!" Hussain came through the door with a mug in his hands.
I still hadn't opened my eyes.
"good morning." I sat up and opened one eye and stretched.
Hussain came over and sat on the edge of my bed and put the mug on the side table. "thank you."
"anything for the birthday girl." Hussain leaned closer. I covered his puckered lips because I had morning breath.
"lemme brush first..I don't want you to faint on my birthday because of my morning breath."
he rolled his eyes and nodded.
I quickly got up and ran to the bathroom. I did my morning routine and walked out to hussain in the same position as I left him. I walked up to my dresser and brushed my hair. Hussain walked up behind me and wrapped his hands around my waist and put his head in me neck. I felt him kissing my neck. "Hussain..." I laughed.
"Hussain we're parents to twins..stop it."
he stopped and kissed my cheek. "happy birthday sweetheart." I blushed.
"thank you...and I don't want anything special planned..nothing crazy. please?"
"don't worry.."
"make breakfast?"
"alright." and he walked out.
I went into my closet and chose a grey cardigan and a floral scarf. I didn't want Hussain getting turned on looking at my cleavage.
"where are my babies?" I asked hussain while I was walking down the stairs.
"living room." he pointed not taking his eyes off of whatever he was going.
I walked into the living room and just stood there.
he got so many presents...(pictured above, I didn't wanna list them all.)
"like it?" I saw Hussain was leaning on the door frame.
"Hussain...." I whispered with tears. I was an emotional freak!
stop crying you cry baby.
you're a mother!!!!
I'm human!!! God why am I talking to myself?
"Ashi?" Hussain snapped my out if my conversation with myself.
"huh? what?"
"do you like the presents...?"
"Hussain..." I felt a tear drop. "I don't know what to say.."..."you didn't have to do this..it's not my last birthday honey...not that I'm being ungrateful but one gift would've done it."
"I wanted to do something special...nothing crazy but I still wanted to do something.."
"Hussain...." I ran up to him and hugged him super tight...
"uh..Ashi...can't...breath..." I let go of him and laughed while he coughed.
"I'm sorry..." I said between laughing.
"it's ok...I'll go finish breakfast." he went to the kitchen while still coughing.
~.~
after I ate breakfast I tried on everything hussain got me.
"how's this?" I asked twirling around in the black dress with heel booties.
"you look great...but if you wear that out please wear tights underneath...okay?"
I laughed at his comment. "okay..."
"so this is what you'll wear?"
"wear where?"
"dinner..."
"dinner? you're taking me to dinner?"
"Duh..everyone should get a dinner on birthday."
"alri-" "- and we'll be spending the night at your parents place, she has invited everyone to stay over...so pack all your things..lehengas and salwar suits...etc."
"why everything?"
"we're going to Pakistan..." Hussain winked.
"Pakistan?" I asked with tears in my eyes.
"Hussain..." I stuttered. "I-I- can't go to Pakistan...bad memories."
"hey listen..." Hussain held my face in his hands. "your mom told me everything...but I can't miss my brothers wedding and you can't miss your cousins..."
"iqra getting married in Pakistan?" he nodded.
"alright...I'll pack." I turned towards my closet before I turned back to hussain. "but only because you want me to." I still had worry in my eyes. that's where he ruined my life.
"don't worry...everything will be fine." Hussain pulled me and kissed my forehead.
I hope what Hussain is saying is true. ya Allah, help me.
