I woke up in the morning and didn't find Saif there. I didn't worry too much because I knew he had been with me all night since I even woke up a few times. I went downstairs and found him in the kitchen, I hurried up the stairs to reach him and as I was going down, I was about to fall, but he immediately gave me support. "Be careful, Eshaal," and we went into the kitchen, i wanted to see what he was up to, there alone. What are you doing I said, taking a sip of the fresh juice that was already in the glass, "a nice breakfast for my wife", how sweet you are, but where Amma bi? "Today she is at her house indeed I told her to take a few days off and be with her family",he said while drinking the juice, I didn't know you were so kind, I said smiling as he approached me saying "I can also be mean!"No, no , don't worry, everyone likes you like this, "Everyone?"Yes, everyone, I said, walking away.

As breakfast was ready, we both ate without changing clothes. After that, I went to change and tidy up the room a bit and then went to tidy up the condition of the library while Saif was washing up. We gathered in the living roo,  and Saif told me a little about him. The house we were living in, was where he grew up, he was telling me every single detail of how the house was furnished before and for some problems that he didn't tell me, his uncle had taken over this villa and moved everything. When he told me that he had spent his childhood here with his mother, but now everything was different, I saw him very disappointed, as if he had lost something and could no longer have it anymore .

To relax and reassure him, I immediately said that we could return the decor of the house to how it was in his childhood. "Ehsaal, thank you, but now everything is different", I know that everything is not what it used to be, and I don't know the why but we can do this, now we live here no one can do anything, "Eshaal, now things are not like they used to! i know, now I'm here to make your life better, I'm here with you. I got up with his hand, and after a whil,  I managed to convince him. We started with the living room, we moved from sofas to furniture, from tables to chairs and from armchairs to paintings. The work was a lot and har,  but I was happy that after two hour,  the living room was the way Saif liked it. "What memories!", I tell you what, it's more beautiful, I said wiping my hands, "it must certainly be beautiful, my mum decorated it", you were very close to your mum, "I wish she had been too". To change the topic, I asked what room to fix next. It wasn't like I thought, just the living room and our room needed fixin. Iff it was the whole three story hous,  we would have fallen over each othe,  said Sai,  laughing.

Before tidying up our room, I decided to prepare lunch. "No lunch, I'll prepare it toda,"  but can you cook  "Of cours,  Mrs. Saif, I'm an excellent coo. " I didn't know! Can I at least help you  "No miss, go and rest, I'll cook for yo,  and it will soon be ready. I came to my room to pray I would join him later, even though he told me he was a good cook, he will surely need me. I was doing my prayers when, Saif's mom came to my mind, from what I understood, from what little he said today, his mom maybe isn't dead, but I'm not sure and then Dania said that she was deadBut even she told me she wasn't sure. I didn't want to sit there thinking too much, because I knew that if for now he had told me this, later, he would slowly tell me everything. I went downstair,  and there was a good smel. Hee was preparing a dish that only to see it looked good. It was karahi, that he was preparing i asked if he needed some help maybe i could cut something but he refused he wanted to do it all by himself so i sat next to where he worked and he weirdly asked me about the past. At that momen,  I discovered that he was even more curious than m,  and while we were talkin,  lunch was already ready. I wanted to prepare the roti myself, but this time too he wanted to do everything by himself and infected he was really good at doing everything.

Everything was very good, Ididon't know how and when he learned to cook but he had a good talent. We went to the room to rearrange everything, this time it took us a little longer. In the middle of our wor,  while we were putting the pillows down, I don't know how it starte, but we started the pillow fight. We were still carrying on when Saif came over, straightening my hair which was all messed up he said "Thank you Ehsaal, thank you for bringing back my mother's memories here, thank you for making me feel at home", thank you, for started smiling like before. After arranging the last things we threw on the bed we were exhausted, so tired but even with the tiredness I preferred to prepare tea for the two of us so as to enjoy it with the sunset.
