IMAN'S POV

I woke up early today because I have to prepare breakfast for Muhammad before he leaves for work and I'm also going to school today. I stood up lazily from the bed and went to the bathroom. I did my business then performed ablution and came out. I prayed Raka'ataini Fajr and I prayed Fajr then did my Azkhar and read Qur'an for a few minutes before going downstairs to start preparing breakfast.

I decided to make waffles and scrambled eggs with sausages then coffee for Muhammad and tea for me. I went into the pantry and brought out the ingredients then went straight to business. I finished the breakfast and set the table but Muhammad isn't down yet. I decided to go and call him.

I went to his room door and decided if I should do it or not. I have never been to his room. I knew it since before we got married that he doesn't like people entering his room. After much thinking I decided to just knock on the door.

Knock! knock! knock!

The door flew open and I was met with his very naked chest and wet hair.

My heart!

I kept staring at his abs and muscles that I forgot what actually brought me here until he cleared his throat.

"Umm sorry...er.. breakfast is ready". I said as I stuttered and looked down feeling embarrassed.

"Okay. I'll be down in a bit". He said and closed the door.

Well, that was rude!

I went to the dining and waited for him. Few minutes later he came down in his three pieces dark blue suit looking hot.

I did not say that!

"Good morning". I greeted him when he sat down and I started serving him.

"How was your night?". He asked.

"Twas fine Alhamdulillah. Urs?". I asked.

"Mine was fine too Alhamdulillah". He replied.

"Ma Sha Allah". I said.

He didn't say anything after that as he began eating.

"How is it?". I asked, breaking the silence.

"Nice". He replied.

"I'm going now". He said as he stood up after finishing his food.

"Okay. Allah ya dawo da Kai lafiya(May Allah bring you back safely)". I prayed.

"Ameen". He said.

"I'm going to school today ". I told him.

"Oh yeah, I remember. Mallam Auwal will be driving you to and fro from school". He told me.

"But I can drive". I protested.

He didn't even bother answering me as he walked towards the door not even sparing me a glance.

I don't know what's wrong with him today but whatever it is, his attitude towards me hurts!

I went upstairs after I finished my food and put the dishes in the dish washer. I decided to sleep for a while since my lectures is by 9am and it's just 7:36am. I set my alarm and slept off.

*********

I heard my alarm ringing. I rubbed my eyes and stretched then stood up and went to the bathroom. I took a shower and came out. After disorganizing my closet I decided to just wear Abaya. I wore a black abaya with black stones design at the front with my black sketchers and black toute bag. After rolling the veil, I put on my black shades on my head.
