SA'ADAH
Chapter eighteen
Sa'adah
I sat in the parlour with the TV on watching it physically but mentally I'm not watching it
My mind was somewhere else
I still couldn't stopped thinking about those moments
I didn't even know when a smile appeared on my lips
I took my phone and called Zuly but she didn't picked so I called Fatima, she picked and we talked so much before we hung up
I got up and did some chores and ate lunch
I went to my room and I didn't even know when sleep overcame me
I woke up to the adhan of magrib prayer with a slight headache and I know it was because I slept till that time
I prayed and checked if saleem was back but he wasn't so i came back and sat in the parlour
I was getting scared already, he said he'll call me but he didn't and it was starting to get late yet he wasn't not home .
I called his number but it wasn't going through
I kept trying his number when the door knob twisted and he came in smiling at me
"I'm really sorry, you know he have no friend like me so I was very busy that I couldn't even call you"he said making a pity face maybe scared that I might scold him lol
"But still, you should have atleast texted me , do you know how worried I was?you said you'll call but you didn't and you came back late"I scolded him with teary eyes, he got me really angry
"Listen I'm sorry"he said coming close to me, I turned to run to my room but he grabbed my whole body to his
"I said I'm sorry sa'adah, I accept I wronged you and I didn't keep my promise but I'm sorry "he said looking at my lips
I wanted to snatch my body away but what he was doing melted me already
I couldn't run nor talked back
The next thing I felt was his lips on mine
Its happening again, this moment that I wanted again and again
he sucked my lower lip gently
I couldn't stop myself from kissing him back
He deepened the kiss while holding unto my waist tightly
"Oh oh I'm sorry I came at the wrong time"
We came back from the strange world as we heard someone in the room
He immediately let go of me as we turned and saw ihsaan turning her back to us
I suddenly felt very shy and lowered my head not able to even uttered say a single word
"Learn to knock on peoples door before berging into their houses"saleem said sitting down on the couch looking at ihsaan
"I'm sorry but I knocked, maybe you didn't hear "she said the last part lowering her voice
She came and found a seat and sat
"Won't you sit? "Saleem asked me
even though we were friends with ihsaan but she's his sister for God sake, my husband's sister
I was there feeling like disappearing but he wasn't even concerned that she caught us
I also found a place near ihsaan and sat but still not able to looked at her
We sat there for minutes without anyone saying a word to one another
"Why are you here? "Saleem said breaking the silence
"I came to see my friend "
"Who's your friend? "
"Your wife obviously "she answered
"You visits friends at this time? Does mummy knows you came out because why would she allow you to come out after magrib"saleem said half yelling at ihsaan
I wanted to stop him but I couldn't
I was feeling completely shy that I couldn't even talk
"Yaya I went to saloon and thought of stopping by to say hi and moreover I'm not alone, sani driver is outside and he's the one that drove me"she said picking her handbag to leave
That was when I managed to say"stop yelling at her, that's very nice of her to come"I turned to her smiling
"I appreciate ihsaan and don't mind your brother thank you for coming"I said escorting her to the compound
She hopped in the car as the driver drover off
I came back to the parlour and met him sitting the way I left him, he didn't even moved an inch
I immediately ran to my room upstairs because I can't handle this embrassment,I heard him calling my name but I didn't stop until I reached my room.

Saleem
I woke up very tired due to the ups and downs I did on kabeer's wedding
I got ready for work because my days off has ended
I went downstairs and looked for her but she wasn't there
I entered the kitchen maybe I could see her but I didn't see anything of her
I went and checked her room to see her on the bare floor holding her stomach while tears were flowing her cheeks
I quickly ran to her asking her what the problem was
"What's wrong with you? "I said picking her up to the bed
She was on a prayer mat
Maybe whatever it is started when she finished praying
She didn't answer rather started to cry more holding my arms very well
"let's go to the hospital "I said picking her a bridal style
We went to the car and went to the hospital
her tears flowing continuously
I got terrified seeing how she was crying like a baby
She must really be in pain
We got to the hospital in no time because of how fast I was driving
I picked her into the hospital running to the doctor
The doctor instructed the nurses to attend to her
She got admitted and was checked by the nurses
The doctor came and attended to her himself, he did his checkings on her and told me to follow him to his office.
