After two weeks , Amira couldn't take it anymore she packed her bags early in the morning and said at the breakfast table ",I am going after breakfast"."Why after breakfast why not at night?". Asked her mother.
"Its a surprise. Plus people will start gossiping soon. " She said eating.
"Ow a surprise. Are you sure you won't cause the poor man a heart attack? Afterall he is so old. Be careful with his heart , his stress and sugar levels as well as his waist". Her father said sourly.
"Okay I am going to pretend I didn't understand any of that. ". Amira said wrinkling her nose. She really couldn't defend her husband and say he is not old.
Her mother laughed.
After breakfast she called an Uber and went to his house. She found it spotless. In their room though was a mess. Her dirty clothes still unwashed and put in the bed . She rose an eyebrow at this. She put away her clothes and his PJs. She looked at his wrinkled PJs for a long time before putting them to her nose to smell. She pushed it away quickly.
She couldn't understand why he didn't clean their room. She quickly put away all their clothes to the washing machine. Changed the sheets. Opened the windows and then felt better. Packed her other clothes from the suitcase and then she felt her body tired. Obviously she didn't work all that hard. But she was very tired. She fell asleep.
This day happened that there was a temporary school shut down early due to water shortages. He came early to change and go see Amira. But reaching the open door he was worried. Then when he came to his room he saw the machine in the laundry room spinning.
He thought it was his son. But going to his room and seeing his wife , asleep on the bed all sprawled out. Her hijab taken off and on the chair. Her dress shirt riding up her thighs. He swallowed and looked and prayed a little. Then he reached her and touched her lovely face.
He didn't think she would woke up and throw herself into his arms.
"Uncle you are here. I am so tired these days. ". She said to him drowsy."Why didn't you lock the door?". He asked checking her temperature and making sure she was okay before moving her to his lap and sitting on the bed.
",I didn't think I would fall asleep till four pm?". She said thinking he came at normal time.
"Surprise !". She said.He chuckled. ",It's barely past noon. The school had early recess. Thank you. I love the surprise". He then kissed her forehead.
She focused her gaze on him. "Honey , kissy lips." She said suddenly.
He choked. Clutched his chest tightly. His face turned purple.
She woke up instantly and ran to get water and his calming pills. After he came down he said ",My dear ". He made her sit on his lap again "I am old. Please when you do these things bare in mind that I am an old man. I don't want to die on the bed during a union between husband and wife. It's too shameful. Take it slow".
She blushed and looked down ,her head buried in his chest. He chuckled.
She smiled but still looked down.Harmless joke.
The next morning, she woke up late. Wore a mid thigh dress shirt and wanted to go to the kitchen to get some milk to drink.
Reaching the kitchen, her hair a mess , her legs slightly weak she opened the fridge and was about to drink with her mouth when she heard ",Do you walk around like this in your house? Do you drink milk without pouring in a glass?". She turned around in shock. She saw her mother ,father and husband who had a serious face on ,but she could tell he was blushing. She knew it.
