Prisoners in love

CHAPTER 40

I woke up early in the morning to pray. I didn't want to wake Saif so I very gently moved his hand from my waist but I faild. I didn't want to, sorry! I woke up because I have to pray, "It's okay, can I ask you something", sure Saif tell me everything, "I want, indeed I can pray with you this morning. I haven't prayed for a long time, in recent years I have been very detached from religion", of course you can, it will be more beautiful if we pray together, "I don't know how to do it", don't worry I'm next to you so we'll read together, now let's get up and do wudu. We were sitting on the prayer mat after praying, both of us were concentrated in our thoughts and stayed like that for almost ten minutes. We went to the kitchen to prepare the tea because we didn't want to sleep again and after preparing it we went to the terrace to enjoy the tea with the sunrise.

"How beautiful all this is, after so long I felt peace inside", I'm glad you feel better and calm, how about we go for a walk, at this time there's no one so we can go down without no problem. Though Saif wasn't too convinced but he went down to the garden anyway. We were walking quietly when a question came to my mind, I've wanted to know the answer for a long time but maybe now it doesn't make much sense to ask, I was thinking whether to ask the question or not when Saif asked me; "What do you want to ask me", how do you know that I want to ask you something? I haven't said anything yet, "I know you too well by now", Saif when exactly did you fall in love with me?, "When I first saw you at the mall, you were with your brother and two other girls maybe they were yours cousins.

You were wearing a black dress with pink flowers perfect outfit for spring, you had white sandals very visible and you were definitely shopping for your brother's wedding", do you remember all that!, "I followed you home to find out where you lived and about two days later when I reflected and realized that I fell in love with you I sent the marriage proposal. Those two days in which I waited were the most beautiful and longest of my whole life, for the first time i had felt love for a woman.The first time I met you it wasn't love at first sight my love for you formed gradually your personality, your voice, your hair, your eyes, your humor, the way you looked away and smiled, gradually it all came clear to me you were exactly what I was looking for.", i didn't even know your existence in all of this.

"I didn't want to have a marriage like that i had...", he was still talking when i interrupted him, Saif we two have to think that all happened was just a bad dream, we must leave the past behind us because we have an enlightening future and a beautiful present ahead of us so there is no point in regretting the past. They are plays of fate, think if you didn't kidnap me that night what could have happened to me or if you didn't come in time those two men could have done anything or if you didn't follow me when I tried to escape the first night who knows in what hands I would have ended up not knowing the place. There are so many positive sides that we either ignore or don't see. "Those two men were mine too, I don't know when they changed their intentions, forgive me. I always feel guilty because...", no guilt, and no regrets, let's let things go as they are going and for this we need to forget the past. I took his hand and we headed home for breakfast.

Today Saif had gone to work after a couple of days and he was missed in the house beacuse usually he is the one who creates a lot of noise in the house. Only today talking to Amma bi I found out that she knew everything from the beginning but she couldn't tell me because her job was to obey Saif, I was very shocked to know that Amma bi knew everything but she never showed me any sign or no indication, in fact he has always had a quiet and calm demeanor. Today Saif was back late from work, I just heard his car coming. "Eshaal come here we have to go" I heard him  and without saying anything he took me to the car right away.
