Her Little Wishes

Chapter-26

Aurin's pov

" I am pleased by your work, Ms Sheikh," My boss Mr Hasan said smiling while checking the reports I prepared.

I corrected him politely," It's Mrs Sheikh, Sir."

" Oh! All the beautiful girls are taken already," He mumbled chuckling and I wondered how can he say if I am beautiful or not.

I am wearing a burkha(veil) with a proper hijab. My face is also covered with a face mask then how did he see me? Oh, now I understand. He saw my face on the CV.

" So, Mrs Sheikh. You are working as my personal assistant. Didn't your husband say anything about it? I mean didn't he object because a lot of men thinks that their wives shouldn't work outside since they are capable enough to earn," he asked and I was getting annoyed by his questions. He shouldn't ask me personal questions.

I answered politely," My husband is very supportive."

" Supportive!" My subconscious mocked and I rolled my eyes.

Then he asked me still checking the file," By the way, who is your husband? May I know his name?"

" Mikaeel Sheikh. You may know him, Sir. He is one of the top businessmen in our country," I answered and he looked at me having an amused expression.

Closing the file he said sounding amused," Mikaeel Sheikh's wife is my PA. Yay to ajoba ho gaya ( It's a miracle)! I can't believe he let you work under me!!!"

He said the last part having a mysterious smile which I didn't understand. Is Mikaeel right about him that he is a pervert? Why is he talking to me like that and why he is staring at me like that. What's wrong with him?

Clearing my throat I grabbed his attention and said politely," Sir, my shift is over. May I leave now if you don't have any more work for me?"

" Yeah. Of course, Mrs Sheikh. Mulakat to hoti rahegi ( We will meet again)," he said rubbing his beard which I felt weird.

Coming out of the office I returned home and the moment I stepped my foot inside, my mother in law started shouting. She questioned me why her son hasn't returned home and I decided to keep quiet. Then, she started yelling at me for a grandchild and this time I couldn't control myself anymore.

" Are you barren? Why aren't you giving us a grandchild, huh? It's almost one year of your marriage," She shouted blocking my path.

I replied glaring right into her eyes," A child is a gift from Allah, not a commodity which I can bring anytime you want."

Saying that I left for my room and heard her yelling at me. Without paying any attention to her, I returned to my room and shut the door. She is like a non-stop tape recorder so it's better to avoid her.

After freshening up I sat on the bed holding my phone. It was already 8:30 p.m. and I won't lie that I am not missing Mikaeel. I was angry with him that's why I didn't call him and texted him. I know him very well and as expected he did the same thing. He didn't call me either.

The whole day went so fast but my mind was clouded with Mikaeel's thoughts. A few times I thought to call him and ask about him but my ego didn't let me. Why should I say sorry? I didn't do anything wrong. He overreacted. First, he permitted me to work outside and when I got a job, he just twisted his words! I am not going to contact him. Let's see how long he can stay without me.

I laid down on the bed and tried to sleep. But, sleep was far away from my eyes. I was just moving from one side to another side having a pissed-off expression. What I should do? I am missing him. I want to see him, hug him and hear his voice. I am missing the word 'wifey' in his voice.
