Areefs pov

I felt something when I saw tears in Amani's eyes but I don't quite know how to put it in words. She already knows your a mamas boy mama said. It's good that she knows ai I said with a smirk.

I want her to be free with me but she's hard to talk to mama said and I looked at her. You know she's quite the talkative right I said and chuckled. Oh really she talks she asked.

Oh yes she really dose tho she dosent talk about herself much u said and she nodded. That's what I was talking about. I saw scars on her and not just two or three Areef multiple scars and she says it's ohk mama said obviously worried.

She won't tell me what happened or who did that to her mum said and looked at me. Areef she called. She will never really be comfortable with me you know and she's really a private person. She's really quiet she doesn't share her worries which isn't good for once health.

I know I might be asking for too much but please try to make your wife comfortable around you she said. I don't want her slipping into depression she said and I looked at her.

Ohk mama I will see what I can do I said and she smiled. We heard the adhan for magrib and I headed for the masjid.

We will be moving to our house tomorrow probably or next. Dad traveled with Salim to God knows where.

I went back home shortly after isha and I headed to my side straight to my side. I got it with a salam and I didn't get a response.

She wasn't in the living room so I'm quite guessing she's in the bedroom. I headed to the room and got in with a salam.

Waalaikumussalam I heard her answer coming out of the closet dressed in a blue nightgown and she's in a phone call. Hmm I wonder who I thought.

Ahh ya Faisal your not nice I heard her say and she laughed. Hm I'm guessing her brother then I thought. I sat by the edge of the bed till she finished.

Sorry that was my brother she said and I made the ohh face. Well step brother she said. She saw the confused look on my face and she chuckled.

No no dont be confused we aren't that much she said. Ohk let me explain she said and sat in the bed. We are just four from my mum and three from my step mum Aunty halima. Ohk see my brothers are; Ya Farouk , Ya mubarak and Mustafah and my step are Ya Abba, Ya Faisal and Fanan

Fanans your only suster I asked and she nodded yes. Wow! That's a lot to take in but ohk I said and she chuckled. Ya Faisal is my favorite she said with a toothy grin. Huh I wonder what the others would think I said and she chuckled.

Well I'm always arguing with musty and I mean ALL THE TIME!! She said and I chuckled.

Wow your this much but the time I came to you know see Fanan the house was dead quiet. No offence. I said and we both chuckle.

Nom taken the house is always quiet. Aunty halima isn't always how,Fanans never home, dad travels time to time, Ya Farouk, Ya Mubarak and Ya Abba are married. Musty goes to work. So it's basically only me in the house but since when ya Faisal came back it was always the both of us at home.

She said everything but I'm not hearing her talk about her mum much and it kinda got me curious but I had to ask about Faisal. Came back from... I asked. Oh his a pilot so his NEVER! Home. She said and I made the ohhh face.

You know I'm so sorry but I heard you mention everyone but your mum I said and her smile started to fade but she was quick to stop it.

Uhm.......... My mum died shortly after I was born she said with a sad smile and right there I went mute. No wonder she dosent talk about her mum much I thought.

Oh I'm so sorry. May her soul rest in peace I said and we both said Amen. So I'm guessing your close with Fanan and her mum I asked. Well she started saying and kept quiet.

That's another story for another day literally she said and laid on the bed. You know we have lots to time right I said and she looked at me. Have you eaten dinner she asked changing the subject so I just went on with it.

Yeah not really I should eat something I said rubbing my stomach and I heard her chuckling. You should go eat something she said. Aren't you eating I asked. No I'm not that hungry she said and sat up.

I stood up and twisted my body right there youu could hear my bones. What the F**k I heard her say and I looked at her. Whoa whoa language please I said and chuckled

I headed for the door but I stoped and turned back. I saw her by the edge of the bed with her head up. I saw a tear escape from her eyes and just there I knew I can't leave her. 

I went back towards her and sat beside her. Come I said and pulled her in for a hug. She hugged me back and I kept smoothing her back and I heard a sob escape.

In other circumstances, i hugged her. I don't know if its a thing for guys but I felt........ bro I can't explain the feeling it's just...........

Hey! I said and broke the hug. It's ohk. Look at me I said but she nodded no. I lifted her chin up and I found her eyes blood red and my heart broke for a moment. Hay it's ohk please stop crying I said and whipped her tears.

You know we don't know much about each other but I'm certain I hate seeing tears in your eyes and that's not me being corky I said and she chuckled.

Thank you she said and I smiled. You know I'm not one to smile a lot, ofcourse my family can vouch for me on that(chuckling)but you sure do know how to make smile I said

Should I be honored she said with a smile. When it comes to me yeah you should be! I said. You know you look prettier when you smile she said and I looked at her confused. Prettier? I asked.

Oh yes I can't call you handsome you've heard lots of that already soo pretty is the word I will be using for you she said. Your crazy you know that right I said and she looked shocked.

Let go of me she said and released her hands from my grip. Are you seriously vexing right now I asked.

Uhm yess she said and stood up to leave but I stoped her. Alright then I'm sorry I said and pulled her for a side hug.

Fine I can let that slide just a lil bit she said and we both chuckled. I like being around Amani she brings the smile out to my face. She's beautiful,religious and just perfect for me but I can't fall for her well not just yet. I just can't.
