Things are going well between me and Zaid except for the part where Malika is all over him and now works in his office so he sees her everyday
Laila's wedding is coming up, and they organized a small party for family and close friends only, I'm sitting by the mirror getting ready
I have light makeup on and decided to wear the dress I got from last time, I never got the chance to try it on so let's see how it fits
It's Amari black Feather-trimmed bolero and soshin dress, it looks perfect on me but the problem is it shows my growing baby bump so evidently
No one knows about me being pregnant so I find it awkward, I was contemplating whether to wear the dress or not when Zaid interrupted me
"Oh wow Baby, you look stunning" He compliments as he walks in, he stand right behind me, leaning down to sniff my hair running his fingers through it
"You are beautiful, I love your hair, it always smells so nice" he said looking at me in the mirror, I smiled at him "Thank you" I said
It doesn't matter how many times Zaid compliments me, it always feels good because I know he meant whatever he says
I move to comb my hair again before tying it but Zaid removed the comb from my hand and start comb my hair gently
When he finished he tied it in a low bun, putting my undercap and proceed to wrap my hijab around my head, Zaid was awful wrapping hijab in the beginning but now he do it beautifully
My phone starts ringing, i moved to answer it but Zaid quickly gets his hand on the phone, answering it "What? don't disturb us, she's getting ready, we will be there soon" He said hanging up the phone
"Zarah, right?" I said and he nodded Yes, I smiled shaking my head, Zaid put on my remaining jewels and then glanced at the shoe I chose
"You are not serious" he said frowning "What? What's wrong?" I said clearly confused "You are not wearing this shoe" He stated
"But it matches my outfit and they are pretty, I want to wear them" i said pouting "You have a lot of shoes that matches your dress and it's risky for you and for the baby" Zaid said pointing at the heels of the shoe
I understand his concern but I still want to wear the shoes, Zaid sighed disappear into my closet and came back after few minutes holding 3 of my shoes
"Choose one" He said and I shook my head "No" "Baby, choose or we will just waste our time here missing the event" he said, "I don't want these ones wancan nake so" I replied being headstrong
"I don't mind missing the event" He said walking back to the closet "wait, give me that one" I said, he turned around smirking "Which one?"
I pointed at the black flats, Zaid nodded keeping the shoe and returned the others to the closet
He came back, kneeling as he puts the shoes on for me, he stood kissing my forehead then he held my hand pulling me up, he picked my bag and we left
"In-law, you look beautiful" Zarah said hugging me "Good Evening Ya Zaid" she greeted Zaid "Y'all are matching i see" Zarah said making me roll my eyes smiling
"Come, lemme snap you" She said pulling me and Zaid, after a lot of posing and stuff, Zarah is finally done with the picture.
"Zaid, let's snap together" I heard Malika's voice coming, I instantly frown at the thought of her taking pictures with Zaid
I hate that I am too possessive about Zaid and it shouldn't matter if they take pictures together because "they are like siblings"that's what Zaid said
"Nadia, you look good" Malika said with an unreadable tone and expression, "You don't look bad yourself" i replied her
I glanced at Zaid to find him looking at me already, "Can we?" Malika said again and Zaid looked at me as if he's asking for permission, I nodded excusing myself
I spent the entire night sitting and eating, I'm starting to get sleepy, I lazily walked to the kitchen to get water covering my bump, well I did everything to hide it the entire night
I was about to drink the water when Malika came in the kitchen, I ignore her and continue what I was doing. I finished and was about to leave but she blocked the door
"Zaid's wife, I see you got him under your spell, right where you want him. Who even gave you the audacity to tell him who he should talk to and who he shouldn't" Malika said
Malika pushed me back into the kitchen "What are you saying?" I asked "ohh, now you want to act dumb, you know what I hate about little girls like you, you think you get the mind to have someone like Zaid, you are not smart enough, you are not good enough for Zaid"
"Nadia, you can throw your stupid little tantrum all you want but at the end of the day, Zaid will leave you and come to me that I promise you" she pushed me back again harder this time, the hand on my belly moved showing the baby bump
"You are pregnant" Malika said scowling then let out a dark laugh, "You will see" she said trying to get her hands on me but I pushed her hard making her fall
"Inalillahi, Nadia what are you doing? Why did you push her?" Ammi said walking into the kitchen "Ammi she-" I started but Malika let out a loud scream cutting me off
"Ammi, I did nothing to her, she start attacking me saying I should stay away from her husband and stuff, I tried explaining things to her but she started getting violent and that's when you came in" Malika said
"That's not what happened" I depend "Malika don't have any reason to lie so keep your words to yourself, I'm very disappointed in you" Ammi said
Ammi tried to help Malika up but Malika screamed "No I can't stand, I think she hurt my leg" I scoffed loudly and Ammi gave me a disappointing look
"Zaid, Zaid" Ammi called out, Zaid came to the kitchen immediately, "What happened here?" He said "Ask Nadia" Ammi said "Help me carry Malika to her room" she continued
Zaid gave me a confused look but still help Malika to her room, I went to Zarah's room and cried my heart out, Ammi didn't even bother to hear what I had to say
20 minutes later, a knock came through "Nadia, are you in here?" Zaid asked, i quickly wiped my eyes and opened the door
"Im sorry I drift to sleep" i said muttering a little smile "Nadia, why did you do that?" Zaid said and my heart sink, I just looked at him with a disappointing gaze
I took my bag from the bed and hand for the door, Zaid followed me, I said good night to Ammi and she answered coldly.
Zaid checked on Malika before we left, the entire ride back home was silent with thick tension in the air
