Behind My Walls✔️

Chapter 59

Ikhbal's POV.

I finished dressing up, for some reason I was ecstatic as I watched myself on the mirror wearing my unusual earrings because I wasn't a fan of earrings and the door swung open to my handsome looking husband dressed in a blue Kaftan.

"Good morning beautiful". He said coming towards me and stood in front of me.

I blushed, "Good morning Khalil, are you going somewhere?". I asked, hence he wasn't going to work as he said to have took a break for what I do not know why myself.

"No, but its a special day today".

I thought for awhile. "What is it today?".

He looked at me mouth agape, "Don't tell me you don't know!".

I looked at him questionably. "I.. Uhmm... Is it our anniversary?".

"No, that will be tomorrow, wait! Don't tell me you don't know that either". He shook his head in disbelieve. Though I rarely remembers my birthday talk less of our one month anniversary.

Wait! it is my birthday!!

Realization got to me and before I could talk. "Happy birthday Habibti". Khalil beamed at me.

I shyly nodded. "Thank you Habibi".

He watched me stunned for a brief moment. "Wait! What did you just call me?".

"Nothing!". I looked away.

He propped my face up. "Say it again". I watched him and smiled, muted "please!".

"Habibi?!". I said nervously more like a question as his eyes bore into mine and he grinned ear to ear. And on the cue my IPad started ringing with the video caller ID 'Layla'.

I shifted a bit from Khalil and the moment I answered the video call, Layla and Wajdan's faces popped singing birthday song. Albeit they were both in Paris offering their Masters and surprisingly at the same college.

I sat down on my bed whilst Khalil excused himself and walked out. "Oh my god! You guys are going to make me cry". I said fanning my face not to cry when they finished singing.

"Don't cry pretty, besides, we would love to celebrate your birthday with you but unfortunately all we could is face time you". Layla said.

"It means a lot to me thank you".

"But we would really want to attend the...". Layla started and wajdan pinched her.

"What do you want to attend?". I asked.

"No she meant we wouldn't want to intrude on your celebration with your hubby!". Wajdan teased, she never changed.

I shook my head smiling. "How are you two doing? with school and stuff".

"Fine, but Ikhbal you can't imagine Layla and Muhammad are making me a third wheel because my naughty boyfriend is always busy". Wajdan blathered.

"He is also here for his work Wajdan, so he is obviously busy too". Layla glared at her and Wajdan rolled her eyes.

I laughed at their childishness. "Okay you two, no fighting on my birthday!". I scolded whilst they nodded smiling.

My door opened again, Khalil entered and sat beside me, waving at the ladies. "Awwn! Look at how cute they are!". Layla exclaimed.

"I'm hearing cute babies alert!". Wajdan added.

"Wajdan!". I exclaimed hiding my heated face from him. "Alright, I will talk to you guys later, bye". I hung up before they smothered me more and kept my IPad beside me.
