Our Husband (Rarely Updated)

12💝

Umaima💝

"At this point I'm confused not by his words but his gestures, is he really sincere or I'm I just being played for sympathy?"

We were now sitting on the cold floor, Malik was in my arms with his face buried on my chest and my arms were around him comforting him to stop crying and that I'm not going to leave.

I don't know what to think of this moment, I can't bare to see him angry at the same time I don't understand why his crying, I only know it's cause of me.

"Malik" I called his name softly as he only responded with a sniff

"What's wrong?" I asked as he slowly broke the hug to look at me

His eyes were red and soaked with tears, I could see drops of it down his face, his nose were red and almost runny

"I hate everything I do to you but I don't know how to stop" he said

"What exactly do you hate?, Sleeping with other women or getting angry at me for things that are your fault, or gas lightning me into thinking everything is okay?" I asked

"E-everything" he said as fell back in my arms crying

"Everything, I'm really disappointed in myself, I can't even apologize to you properly, I'm trying to change but it's not easy, I'm your husband, please help me" he said, his tears only increasing by the second

"It's okay" I said patting his back

"Don't cry, that's enough, I'll help you" I said

"Please don't leave" he said

"I won't" i responded

"Promise you'll stay" he said

"I will" I said not regarding it as a promise

"Umai-" he was about to say as I cut him off

"Shh, don't say anything, it's late now let's just sleep" I said patting his back as I felt him nod making me release a small smile

"Get up, let go to the bed" I said breaking the hug as he nodded before standing up and helping me stand along with him

"Don't leave when I'm sleeping okay" he said as let out a small chuckle before nodding

"I won't go anywhere" I said as we walked over to the bed, I help him lay down covering him with the duvet and I went to the otherside and layed myself covering up as well, in no time I could feel him cling onto me holding me tightly

"Goodnight" I said

"Goodnight" he responded

With that my eyes closed and then I fell asleep.

What I woke up to was something different from yesterday, my eyes trailed around the newly decorated room. I looked beside me and Malik wasn't there, I wonder how he manages to do such things so quickly.

How did I not wake up to this, I looked around and there was flowers everywhere and now there was a banner saying "thank you for choosing to stay".

A small smile made it's way to my lips and then I forced myself out of bed, before he gets back I need to wash up.

I go into the bathroom and do what I had to do before taking a bath and then coming out to change afterwards. When I was done I decided to leave the room to check on Malik and to see if Hafsah was really gone.
