Khadijah lazily walk out of her car.
She took her weak body inside.
With a sigh, she unlock the door.
Khadijah walked to the couch and sat down.
She took out the white paper from her bag.
Khadijah open it and read the content.
She exhale deeply after reading it.

Khadijah dropped the test result on the table and lye down on the couch.
I miss you Jawad. Khadijah let out.
She wiped off her tears and rubbed her flat tummy.
Khadijah nibble her finger until she fall into a deep fog of oblivion.

Affan walk out of the patient's word.
He take a long stride to his office.
Affan enter his office and walk to the swivel chair.
He sat down and unlock his phone.
The door to his office crack open.
Affan hoist his head up.
Doc Aisha. Affan smile.
Yes, Doctor. Aisha smile.

She grab a seat and sit down.
Aisha keep smiling goofily at Affan.
Affan feel uncomfortable and clear his throat.
Seems you have a good News to share with me since you won't stop smiling. Affan muttered to wave off the awkwardness.

I cooked for you. Aisha muttered.
Affan choked on his saliva and started coughing.
Aisha rush to the fridge and take out a bottle of water.
He give it to Affan.
Thank you, Affan muttered and took the water.

Are you alright? I'm sorry if what I said made you choke on your saliva.
No, it's okay, Aisha muttered.
Aisha, why did you prepare food for me?
Affan we are friends and I heard you said you won't go home early.
You will be hungry.
Oh, Affan's mouth forms a zilch shape.

It's okay if you don't want my offer I will just give it to someone. Aisha mumble.
Thank you, Aisha but you shouldn't do that.
My wife used to cook for me but she isn't feeling too well today that's why she didn't cook for me.
Oh, that's lovely. Aisha mumble.
Yes, my Khadijah is such a lovely wife.

Please eat my food just this time.
This is my first.
What are friends for?
Okay, I will eat your food.
Are you happy now? Affan muttered with a smile.
Yes, I am. Aisha blushed.
She take out the food flask from the bag and drop it in front of Affan.

Should I open the food flask for you? Aisha asked.
No, thank you.
Do you want me to eat in your presence? Affan raise his brow.
Yes, please. Aisha muttered.
Alright, I'll test my friend's food. Affan teased.
He open the food flask.
Masha Allah, it smell so nice but not compare with my wife's food. Affan muttered.
Aisha Humm.

I'm sorry but I love my wife so much and I love everything she does. Affan muttered.
It's okay. Aisha muttered curtly.
Bismillah (in the name of Allah) Affan chanted and began to consume the food.
Aisha smile as she watch Affan eat her food.

Affan eat half and push the food flask to Aisha.
It taste so good. Masha Allah.
Thank you. Affan compliment.
You are welcome. I'm happy to hear that compliment from you. Aisha muttered.
You should be happier to hear that from your boyfriend, not me.
Aisha Humm.

Why did you stop eating? Aisha glance at the food flask.
I want you to eat the rest. If I finish it up what will you eat?
I will be okay.
Affan chuckle.
I can't fill my stomach with your food. My wife's meal is waiting for me at home. Affan muttered with a smile.

I believe now that you indeed love your wife.
You've mentioned her countless times now.
I hope she love you too.
Affan smile.
So Affan, can you tell me about your wife?
Who is she? She is lucky to have such a gorgeous and nice man as her husband.
I wish I was the lucky one. Aisha muttered.
