The Serendipity of Us

Chapter-13

After everyone had eaten, they went to their respective rooms. Haleema was tidying up everything. After finishing, she took out water from the fridge to drink. Just then, Umar came and stood behind her. He rested his chin on her shoulder and wrapped his arms around her waist.

Haleema was a bit startled by his sudden action, but then she calmly started pouring the water from the bottle into the glass.

While pouring the water, Haleema said, What are you doing? Let me go.

Umar immediately replied, Nothing, just being romantic.

Hearing Umar's words, Haleema blushed, and her cheeks turned bright red. She said, Let me go, I want to drink water.

Umar said, Then drink the water. When did I stop you?

Haleema replied, If you keep holding me like this, how will I drink?

Laughing, Umar stepped back and said, Now you can drink the water.

Haleema responded, Alright.

Haleema drank the water put the bottle back in the fridge and said Shall we go?

Umar replied, Yes let's go.

They both went to the room together.

As soon as they entered the room, Umar once again took Haleema in his arms. Haleema bumped into Umar's chest and looked up at him.

Haleema asked, What's wrong with you Umar?

Umar, laughing, said, Nothing is wrong. I just thought I'd remind you that before dinner you said you would massage my head to relieve my headache.

Haleema lightly tapped her forehead with her hand and said Oh yes, I completely forgot. Go sit on the bed; I'll be right back after changing.

Umar replied, Okay, and went to sit on the bed.

After a short while, Haleema came back and sat behind Umar.

Standing behind Umar, Haleema began to massage his head, but she couldn't do it properly. She said, Oh Allah, you're so tall that I can't even reach your head properly.

Umar laughed and said, It's not my fault that you're short.

Haleema, getting annoyed, replied, Are you calling me short?

Umar said, No, I was just joking. Why do you always take my jokes seriously?

Haleema said, Okay, fine then.

Umar then said, There is a way you can massage my head properly.

Haleema asked, Quickly, tell me what it is.

Immediately, Umar laid his head in Haleema's lap and said, "Now you can massage it well."

Haleema felt something at his action; it felt like butterflies were fluttering not just in her stomach but throughout her whole body. Blushing, she said, "You just need an excuse to flirt with me." Then, with great affection, she started massaging his head.

Umar, hearing Haleema's words, replied, "jb biwi itni pyari hogi to sohar ka dil fisal hi jayega ur flirt krega hi"

Haleema smiled and said, Really?

After a while, Umar fell asleep in Haleema's lap just like a little child.

Haleema smiles as she watches Umar sleeping peacefully and says,He looks so adorable when he's asleep. She gently moves his head from her lap to the pillow, turns off the light, and stands by the window, lost in thought as she gazes into the darkness.

Haleema Pov:

She ponders and questions herself, wondering if she's doing anything wrong with her husband. Umar has every right over me, the right to love me and care for me. Have I fallen in love with him? If I have, why am I hiding my feelings? Oh Allah, I don't understand anything. Please help me.
