I can't rewrite our fate

chapter 35: touch down

Hers~> 5 days married

"How long was I asleep for?" I ask Khalil while rubbing my eyes.

"Just long enough for us to leave." He replies making me gasp.

"I was asleep for that long?" I ask as he gets up from his seat.

"Yep, now get up habibti. I wanna see your motherland for the first time." He says while grabbing our carry ons.

"You need help with that?" Armaan asks.

"Nah it's fine." He replies, taking both mine and his in hand.

If he wanted to carry both our bags I did not have a problem about that.

I nod thankfully and then we all make our way to leave the plane.

"Noor do you want some?" Hala asks, offering me some gummies as we take a seat in one of the shops.

"Yeah thank-" I say but Neha cuts me off.

"Give me!" Neha shouts, making Samir, Khalil, Elias and Armaan shocked.

She then quickly composes herself and begins to pass me the gummy bag.

"Sorry-" Neha says but someone interjects.

"She's pregnant guys, here." Haadi interrupts her, grabbing a range of sweets from the aisles and then passes them to Neha.

She takes them carefully and then tries to thank him before he says, "I'll go pay for them real quick."

"Hmm..." Samir says while watching Haadi as he walks off.

"Okay anyways, guys what are we gonna do when we get to the house?" Elias asks, eagerly.

"Go to sleep?" I reply, reluctantly.

"Wrong! We're going to have a water fight!" Elias says with a grin.

"Yallah, Elias. I don't think-" Hala begins to speak.

"I think it's a good idea." Khalil interrupts her and we all turn our attention him.

"What? It's a good way to start off the holiday... and aren't y'all all melting?" He asks, putting his hands up.

"See! I knew my boy would agree with me." Elias cheers, grabbing Khalil into a side hug.

"Well I guess I'll have the upper hand." Neha says, quietly.

"And why is that?" Hala asks.

"The pregnant woman who just landed from a flight? Nobody can do anything and I'm going to soak everybody." Neha says with a laugh.

"We'll see about that." Haadi says under his breath but I'm able to hear since I was next to him and Neha was sitting on my other side.

"We'll see?" I whisper to my brother in law, sarcastically.

He smirks back and I offer him a knowing glance.

"Yallah! Let's go!" Baba calls out from outside of the shop and we all groan.

"I'm not gonna survive." Hala groans.

"The pregnant one isn't even moaning so why are you, donkey?" I ask Hala, jokingly to which causes everyone to laugh.

"So you guys are telling me you're not sweating?" She asks, raising her hands up.

Everyone becomes silent upon hearing this and she smirks in joy.

"Are you ready to see the cousins?" Amannah asks.

"The ones we haven't seen since we were 8? Hmm I don't think so." I reply, making Samir sigh.
