The Hijabi's Convertee

chapter 41

"Jazakallah khair" Iqraam said to me

" For what?" I asked

" For this" Iqraam said raising up is bandaged hand

" Wa iyyak" I replied with a smile

" Close your eyes" Iqraam said and I did as he said

I felt him slip something into my hijab, placing it on my ear

I opened my eyes to see Iqraam looking at me with a smile

I smiled back and stood up walking over to a full length mirror in the room

I stood in front of the mirror

Iqraam had slipped a red rose flower into my hijab, it looked pretty

Iqraam walked over to stand behind me and wrapped his arm around my waist, I still wasn't used to such intimacies but didn't move away nonetheless

I looked at him from the mirror and our eyes met, his ocean blue eyes stared right into my soul

" Masha'Allah, you're very beautiful " Iqraam said placing his head on my shoulder not breaking eye contact with me

"And you're very handsome" I said a blush making its way to my cheeks

Iqraam chuckled and places a kiss on my temple

"Hearing a compliment from my wife is indeed better than hearing it from a ton of people" Iqraam said and I blushed harder

" I'm sorry for making you hurt your hand" I said looking at his bandaged hand

" It's okay, stop apologizing " Iqraam said and bent down to carry me bridal style before making his way to the bed

He placed me down on the bed and laid down beside me, hugging my waist as he did

His hands went to my hijab, he removed the rose before he unpinned my hijab and removed it from my head, placing it aside

" Let's take a nap" Iqraam said and buried his head into my neck

We stayed like that for a while and soon I could hear the rhythmic breathing of Iqraam which meant he was asleep

My hands went up to his head and I stroked his hair continuously, soon sleep invaded me

______

I slowly opened my eyes and looked around
I was still in Iqraam's room, I looked beside me and saw Iqraam's sleeping face
He looked like an angel while sleeping
His facial features became soft

I smiled and removed his hand that was wrapped around my waist slowly

I sat up and was about to get up when I was pulled back by a pair of arms

"Where are you going" Iqraam asked looking at me from under his long lashes

" You're awake" I said a bit surprised

"Hmm" Iqraam hummed and sat up with me in his arms

" I didn't mean to disturb your sleep" I said

" I'm a light sleeper " Iqraam said and I nodded

We heard a knock on the door and Iqraam stood up to get the door while I wore my hijab

" Sir Iqraam your friends are here" I heard the person at the door say and my brows shot up in askew

I haven't met Iqraam's other friends, although some attended our Nikkah yesterday

"Tell them I'll be down soon" Iqraam said and closed the door
