MAFIA AND MUSLIMAH

CHAPTER 13:- Milkshake

"What's going on here?" Ebrahim asks in a firm tone.

"I was just waiting for you."

"Zayn. Why are you talking to my wife."

Zayn looks surprised. "Oh, I.."

"I know Zayn from before. He's a family friend." I reply for him.

"Mm, and that gives you the right to talk to her freely?" Ebrahim angrily walks up to Zayn.

I go in between them, placing a hand on Ebrahim's chest. "Ebrahim. I was just asking him what he was doing here. He didn't do anything."

"You're fired, Zayn. Get out of my sight!"

I see Zayn's heartbroken face. "Ebrahim! I said it wasn't his fault, okay? Don't fire him. Punish me instead or something!" He finally looks into my eyes, "Please let him be." I see Ebrahim become less tense.

"Only for you..let's go." Ebrahim leaves to open the car door for me. Man, we are probably even more late for my appointment now. I take one last look at Zayn. My heart twitches.Funny how once in my life I wanted to marry that guy.

We're on our way to the hospital in tense silence. "Punish you instead, huh?" I can hear a tint of mischief in his voice.

He pauses, "I missed you, Rida."

"That's nice..." I can't think of anything else to say.

"How were you?"

"Good. Perfect."

"Without me.." Uh.

To be honest, I did kind of miss the way he was. The constant flirting and intimidation. And the feeling of safety. What shall I do with myself.

We arrive at the hospital.

"Looks like the baby's perfectly healthy." The doctor smiles as she's doing on ultra sound of my stomach. I just feel Ebrahim's gaze at my side."You guys better start thinking of a name for your baby boy. He can be out any week now."

I smile, "Don't worry, I've been thinking for a while now.'

"All first-time mothers do!" She laughs. "You must have been so happy when you found out.'

I press my lips, but don't want to make muslims look bad, so I smile, "Yeah.."

The doctor leaves as I adjust my jilbab, and we head out.

"Where're we going?" I realize we're on an unfamiliar road.

"You'll see,"

We pull into a milkshake place drive-thru. "What would you like?"

"Whatever you want," I reply since I've never been here.

"2 oreo milkshakes, please."

We collect our drinks, and Ebrahim drives to a nearby field.

I can't help but smile at the view. "Cmon." Ebrahim offers a hand because the field is steep. I accept as we run up the field.

The wild flowers are beautiful. We make it to the top of the hill, which gives a view of the city and the mountains behind. It's all so perfect. Ebrahim even decided to bring a little sheet for us to sit on, almost as if he had this planned out. *does The Rock eye brow lift face*

"The sunsets beautiful." I say in aww, staring at the sky.

"It really is.. " I can hear him breath. I look towards him and notice that he isn't even looking at the sunset. He's been staring at me the whole time. My ears heat up, and I pretend Im busy playing with the flowers.
