*S16*

This chapter is a double crossover, i.e  the two books I am writing (Unexpected and Life without you).  

I close the door with my feet while I held the bag of groceries in my hands. It has been months since I slept with Khalil for the first time.

I have been together with mukhtar for months now. I keep the bag in the kitchen, bringing the things out.

I felt a vibration on my thigh. I take my phone, mukhtar.

"It has been only an hour since we met and you're calling me. Do you miss me that much?"

I smile, licking my lips. "That's what you do to me, wanted to ask whether you arrived safely."

"I did, thanks babe. I actually went to the grocery store, my head was spinning and i thought it might be low sugar level so I bought some snacks for myself."

"Thought you were on a diet?"

"I was, it was my head. I need something to balance it off, if not, I wouldn't have broken it."

Mukhtar scoffs. "Of course." I chuckle. "I won't do it again. You know, I saw someone like you today."

I lean on the kitchen island, placing my chin on my palm. "Really? Where?"

"He's actually living at the same street at you, his name is mukhtar too and I decided to drop by his house to greet him."

"How did you greet him?"

I laugh. "The best way to greet, I guess." He chuckles. "I'm jealous, why didn't you do the same to me?"

"I don't know, I guess I wanted something different." The kitchen door opened as I turn to see Khalil, walking in.

"We're the same person, I'm tired of talking this way." He complains jokingly through the phone while I tried to act cool on front of Khalil.

"I'm telling you, the minute I walked into the grocery store, my thoughts and preferences changed. I bought different kinds of ice cream and biscuits. You know they are my best."

I hug Khalil and he hugs me back kissing my head. "How are you doing?" Khalil asks before he walked to the fridge.

"I'm fine..." I reply. "Ilk call you later, bye." I hang up, letting out a heavy sigh. I'm not going to lie, I'm tired of this secrecy. Hiding my infidelity and lying repeatedly.

Plus, my sudden urge for food, my dizziness and feeling nauseous is giving me the red flags. 

"Khalil?"

"Yeah? What's wrong?" He asks as I chuckle. "Can't I just call your name? My husband's name?"

I flirt with him. "You can, of course." He keeps his stock beside him while he opens the cap of the bottled water.

"Did you go for checkup today?" He shakes his head. "I'm going in the evening."

"I'll go with you." He furrows his brows. "You said you hated going there."

"Yeah, I know. I just feel like going today, with you." I walk to his side, smiling.

"Of course, anytime." He brings his hand out as I place mine on his. He brings it to his lips before kissing it.

I smile forcefully, making it look sincere. "I love you, sabeeha." He says, still holding my hand.

I felt disgusted to say that back to him. "That's so sweet, me too." I hug him as he wraps his arms around me. "I'm so lucky to have you in my life." He adds.

You're a curse in mine.

I smile, pulling away to look at him with a warm smile. "You're precious to me." I place my my hand on his jaw.

I assist Khalil walk to the reception so he could wait for me to get my pregnancy test before we went to Dr Jabir.

I see a chair next to two men, he might as well wait here. "Be careful, be careful. Okay, here it is. Great." He sits as i let out a sigh. "Good afternoon." I say to the men who sat. "Good afternoon." They chorused.

They're good looking and normal.

I smile at them before squatting beside Khalil. "I'll be back, okay? I'll just retrieve some drugs and then we'll go for the eye exam, is it fine with you?"

Khalil nods. "Of course." He answers, holding my hand. "Okay, I'll be back soon." I stand up, glancing at the men before walking away.

I walk to Dr Jabir's office to check whether he's around or not. I open the door while he paced around the room.

"Dr Jabir?" I call  him as he turned to look at me. "Yes? Oh, you're Khalil's wife, how are you?" He smiles.

"I'm fine, thank you. He's at the reception." I tell him and he nods. "Okay, shall we?"

We walk back to the reception to get Khalil before we came back to the office to examine Khalil.

I cross my arms, thinking whether I should stay or go for the test. Dr Jabir, wears his gloves, walking towards Khalil who sat peacefully.

"I think you should stroll in the meantime, its not so pleasurable." Dr Jabir says as I internally jubilate.

"No, I want to stay." I act like I care by insisting. "Its alright, I'll be done before you know it." Khalil trues to convince me.

"Okay, I'll be waiting." I act like I've been defeated. I step out of the office, letting out a sigh. This acting is getting tiring.
