Laiha's pov-

"Ngeee, maaa baaba." Imad shrieked in delight as Jabir rocked him in his hand.

"Come on my boy, why don't you sleep so I and your mama can go out."

"Giiiishhhhrrrr gaaaa" Imad made sounds again, looking at Jabir and laughing as if saying, "No dad, I won't let you and mom have a nice time together without me."

I shook my head seeing father and son drama. "Hey, look someone's husband is here." I heard Fiona say. My gaze instantly shifted to my man on his suit, walking near me, smiling. My eyes didn't stop glancing at him until I hear his sound.

"Hello, Fiona. When did you reach and what took you so long to come? Someone was worried here." He said, exchanging glances with Junaid, who shot death glare back.

"Yes, my dad was hospitalised. So, I had to stay by his side."

"Oh, May Allah cure him. Hope he's fine now."

I heard her mumble Aameen and added, "besides, who was worried not seeing me? Was it Laiha?"

Naeef shuffled, "Oh, yeah, yes. It was her." He immediately turned to look at me, "Oh, I forgot to greet you by the way."

"Hello, wifey." He said, as I rolled my eyes and stood up to leave, ignoring him.

"It's been just 2 days and how could you forget her already?" Fiona asked. I heard him chuckle and follow me.

"C'mon, are you angry?"

I walked in silence, ignoring him and suddenly, he pulled me back. My stomach somersaulted at his sudden actions. He pulled me closer and I looked down, my heart beat like a wedding band.

"Look at me, wifey." He whispered, his breath fanning me as we were in close proximity. My eyes collided with him and I was lost, in his oceanic orbs. I couldn't believe this is happening so fast? My feelings grow 10× faster when I see him. I didn't feel this way before when I was with him. Is it because I'm married to him? Why do I get a feeling that just because I'm married, he can't leave me. There is no heart break, but these are just my thoughts and little did I know that, heart break occurs even in marriege these days.

"Where are you lost at?" I heard him whisper again.

"In your eyes."

I snapped back into reality as I heard his chuckle. I mentally smacked my head for saying that.

"Why are you here by the way?" I asked him.

"I just dropped by to see you as I'm on my way to office." He looked at his watch, "Okay, I'll see you in the evening." He said, leaving my hand. I wish he didn't go leaving me. I nodded my head, as the next moment made me flush in red.

He kissed my forehead and said, "Take care, Laiha." I looked at his eyes and nodded. "Take care of you too."

"Erhm."

We flickered like lightning as we hear Junaid's coughing sound. "Why do I smell a fresh romance here?" Junaid sniffed, looking everywhere.

"Astagfirllah, Junaid." Naeef whacked him and they both chuckled and left.

I filled the form for admission into a new university. "What date is today?"

"23rd March." I heard Lunah say.

My eyes widened realizing tomorrow is Ayman's birthday. He must be busy with his family. I wonder if he remembered me like I remember him. Though I don't have feelings for him, I still remember him and it's not that easy to forget someone in quick span of time. Even if I say that I have no feelings, there might be a slightest of chance of falling again if someone push me into it. But I don't want to, because I have my Man, my Husband, Naeef.
