The Date

I heaved a sigh glancing at myself in the full-length mirror after I finished dressing. I'm going on a date with Sudaiz I pray it went well.
Mummy, Fawzan muttered.
He ran to me with his shoes.
I chuckle and bend down to his level.

You are not going with me. You will stay with Grandma. I muttered.
Fawzan had tears in his eyes.
I wipe off his tears and swoop him up.
I pick up my bag from the bed and my phone.
I locked my door and started trudging downstairs with Fawzan.

I reach the living room and everyone pivots their gaze to me.
This makes me uncomfortable.
I silently drop Fawzan down and their gaze is still on me.
I sat on the couch.
Ummi, what is going on here? Why is everyone giving me a pricking look? Is my outfit bad? I asked with a raised brow.

No, it's not. You look beautiful in them. Ummi muttered with a smile.
Your date is waiting for you outside. Please don't keep him waiting. Ya Yusuf muttered.
I rolled my eyes and stood up.
I adjust my veil.
Mummy, Fawzan cried running after me with his tiny legs.

Ya, Yusuf picked him up. Fawzan struggled to wiggle out of his hold.
Fawzan, I will buy you chocolate when I come back. I muttered and quickly Saunter out of the living room still hearing Fawzan's cry as I marched to the parking lot.

Hello, I muttered immediately after I reached the parking lot.
Sudaiz turned around.
His jaw drops admiring me from head to toe.
I feel the urge to slap his face and tell him to lower his gaze.

Are you here to check me out? I muttered.
Oh, I'm sorry. Let's go. He muttered and opened the door for me.
I thank him and hop inside.
My Name is Sudaiz. I'm a medical doctor. A Neurologist. He muttered.
Okay, nice to meet you. Doc. I muttered curtly.

That's so rude. He muttered.
I ignore his ranting.
You haven't told me your name? He muttered like a whisper in my ear.
Your brother's wife didn't tell you my name. Okay, My Name is Fatima. I muttered.

You have a beautiful name. Sudaiz muttered.
Thank you. I muttered with a smile.
He reached the restaurant and parked his car in the parking lot.
We Saunter out of the car and March inside.

We grab a chair and sit down.
What would you like to eat? Sudaiz asked me politely.
No, thanks. I muttered.
Sudaiz glances at me and calls the waiter.
He walks to us with the menu list.
Sudaiz ordered fried rice and chicken Alfredo For the two of us.

I'm not in the mood to eat anything now. I muttered.
No, you will eat. Sudaiz muttered with a smile.
Thank you. I muttered.
Can you tell me more about yourself? Sudaiz asked me.

I told you my name. I think that is the only thing you should know about me now. I muttered squinting my eyes.
My brother's wife told me you are a divorcee. What is the reason behind your divorce? Sudaiz asked me.
I choked on my food and started coughing.

I'm sorry. Sudaiz muttered giving me a glass of water.
I duck my head and wipe off my tears.
I hoist my head and look at him.
If you are not comfortable to tell me about your marriage life. It's okay. I will understand. Sudaiz muttered and I nodded my head.

I couldn't enjoy the food anymore. It tasted pungent in my mouth.
I keep playing with the cutlery.
Are you okay? Sudaiz asked me.
Yes, I am. I muttered curtly.
Was he treating you badly when you were married to him? Sudaiz asked me.
Yes, I muttered and told him everything that happened between us.
