It had been a couple of days, today Saif came home and I wanted to talk to him because it can't go on like this. As soon as he arrived he sat down in the living room and I joined him. Where have you been for two days?, "I don't have to answer you and it's none of your business", instead I want to know where you were. You brought me here for what, I'm always alone, you don't come home for days and days and I don't even know where you are. "Eshaal, you don't consider me as your husband so I won't answer you" he was going to the room I stopped him by his arm saying; tell the truth you were with Huma! "I don't know what you have with that poor girl", poor girl? She came here when you were away for your work and in front of your wife she declared for you! you think this is not serious.

"I never gave her hope" he said screaming and I replied with the same strength; instead yes, you love Huma and she even told me that you married me for a scope. "Purpose? No no Eshaal I can explain everything to you, it's not like she told you", ah yes you think that after cheating on me I still believe you?. "Betrayed?", yes betrayed because even if I don't love you but you told me you fell in love with me at first sight I don't know where, but it wasn't like that you had a valid reason to get married. "Now I'll explain everything properly", no I don't want to know anything you're just a liar, "Then stay with your doubt" he yelled at me and walked off. I was furious, as he allowed himself to yell at me..., at least when he was talking about Huma I understood that she was right, there is a reason behind this marriage!

And if maybe I was wrong, maybe I don't have to believe what she tells me and I have to think for myself. I did the Afternoon in these thoughts and now that it's night I was waiting for Saif. He had left the house very angry and then I hope he didn't drive fast. It was already past midnight and it had also started raining heavily, I waited for Saif for a long time but he didn't come back and I don't know when I fell asleep.In the morning I woke up late, very late in fact it was already noon, since I had waited until late for Saif, today I could not wake up. I got ready and read the Quran as I didn't feel like having breakfast and then I went to the kitchen to prepare lunch. Dania today I'll make lunch, "No Mrs. Eshaal, there's no need, you can tell me that I prepare everything you want".

Dania just tell me what Saif likes, today I wanted to cook for him because I felt guilty for treating him like that and yelling at him. So I wanted to make this cute gesture, and so I started. Dania helped me because she didn't want me to do it alone. Despite having told her many times that she could call me sister or by her name, she never listened to me and she still continues to call me Mrs. Eshaal. Lunch was almost ready and while it was cooking I decided to go and pray so as not to be late. Once I finished I served the food on the dining table and went to get Saif. I knocked on the door and wait a while for him to answer, he was back and I knew this because I had seen the car outside. I knocked again but no answer so I just opened the door. I entered in his room, he was sleeping, he was all wet and when I approached him to see if it was sweat or water he wakes up. I didn't move from my seat and put my hand on his forehead, he was burning with fever.
