Layla's POV
I woke up late today because Ali and went out to the movies last night.He woke me up with a kiss to the cheek.
Ali: good morning.
Layla:gosh am late!(I jumped out of bed) Ali I told you It was a bad idea to go out last night.
Ali:why do you say that,we had alot of fun.
Layla:move,I will be late for work.(I rushed to the bathroom.Soon I got ready and came out, only to find Ali eating breakfast with hikimah.
I sat down.Hikimah was feeding her two year old daughter binta.Hikimah was Ali's sister.
Layla:Ali this is delicious.
Hikimah: actually I cooked.
(She said coldly.)
Layla:oh nice.
Hikimah:you should be awake early to cook for your husband.
Ali: that's enough hikimah.
Layla:no I understand her.You are right hikimah,I must wake up early and cook with my husband,but you see,we are unlike the traditional couple.He cooks for me and I cook for him.Today was his turn to cook for me,but he was tired,so you did.Which I thank you very much.
(Binta reached out for me but hiki didn't want to give her to me,but Ali took binta and gave her to me.)
Layla: there's my beautiful niece.
Hikimah:I need to burp her, give her to me.
(I gave her back.After breakfast,I grabbed my bag.Ali came to me)
Ali: don't mind her
Layla: your sister used to like me, when she got here,but now she doesn't anymore.
Ali: don't bother about her.
Layla: she is your sister.
Ali:well you are my wife.She needs to understand that.
Layla:can you blame her?her husband left her when she was pregnant, and you are her brother, she can't help it.Try to spend time with her, okay?
Ali: okay.
(I gave him a kiss and left for work.I am a therapist while my husband is a doctor.We are both busy but always make time for each other.)
Hikimah moved in with us when she got pregnant.Her husband left her,so my husband took her in.We were good at first,but then she started not to like me, because Ali paid more attention to me.
Her daughter also likes me alot which doesn't sit well with her.Am a therapist so I noticed all of this.She has this hidden resentment towards me,I just don't know the cause.
It seems to me like it's more than me taking away the love of her brother.I came to work.I was assigned with a new client who decided to make me wait for two hours.
His time was up and I was now waiting for a my next client.I often cater to four clients a day.Each has two hours and I get a thirty minutes break after a session.
In total I worked 9 hours.from 9am to 5pm.My husband finishes his shift at two.He rests for three hours after,then we spend time together.
We make things work especially on holidays and days off,he is the best.The door and four men came in.
One in particular caught my eye.
