MARWA

I woke up so early in the morning because I couldn't find Solace in my sleep. I stretch my body and walk to the bathroom.
I took my bath brushed my teeth and dashed out of the bathroom.
I dried my skin and applied the lotion to my body.
I get dressed and walk out of my bedroom.
I take a long stride to Prince Haidar's apartment.
I pray he would be alright now.

I reach his apartment and twist the doorknob.
I walked in.
My heart skipped a beat.
I glance at the Duo having breakfast peacefully.
Batool was feeding Prince Haidar.
I felt a pang in my heart.
I wish I could turn back and leave the room.
I blink back my tears.
I walk further to the dinning.

Good morning, Batool. I greeted.
Batool Humm.
I turn to Prince Haidar who isn't sparing me a look.
Good morning, I greeted.
Morning. He replied Curtly.
Please can we talk later?
No, I'm busy. He mumble.
Please, I pleaded.
Batool tell her that I want to be alone.
I want to spend time with my wife. Prince Haidar muttered.
Okay, no problem. I muttered and walked out of his apartment.

I wipe off my tears.
I return to my room.
I cried my eyes out.
I quickly wiped off my tears when I heard a knock on the door.
I walk to the door and open it.
Samha walked in.
Good morning, I greeted.
Marwa, are you still crying?
I Humm.
He refused to talk to me. I cried.

What if Batool gives him something to eat that's why he is acting this way.
Samha smiled.
Akhi will come around. Samha muttered.
Ain't you ready for the gyaran jiki?
We are running out of time. Samha muttered.
Akhi, gave me money for your gyaran jiki. I want you to know that he loves you and care for you. Samha muttered with a smile.

Did you ask him? I asked.
No, he asked me about the gyaran jiki which I told him I will take you there today so he gave me money to take care of his baby. Samha wink.
I felt a bit relieved.
I thought he doesn't care about me anymore.
I'm ready. I muttered.

I take my veil and follow Samha out.
We take a long stride to the parking lot.
We enter the car.
Samha drive to her friend's house.
She reached the house and drove inside.
She parked her car in the parking lot.
We walk out of the car.
I follow Samha inside.
Please sit down. Samha muttered with a smile.
I shook my head and sat down on the couch.

I look around admiring the interior of the living room.
Samha return to the living room with her friend.
I greeted her.
Welcome to my house. She smiled.
Thank you. I muttered.
She called her maid.
The maid walk in with refreshments.
I thank her.
Please make yourself comfortable while I prepare the ingredients. Samha's friend muttered.

I waited for a few minutes.
Samha walk to me.
Let's go inside. She muttered.
She took me to a room downstairs.
I glance at the room.
I see different equipment in the room even a bed.
I shook my head.
Don't be afraid, my friend gives the best skin care for the bride. Samha whispered in my ear. I shook my head.

Samha walk out of the room and close the door.
The lady gave me a bathrobe. Please take off your clothes. She muttered.
I shook my head and did as I was told to.
I take the bathrobes from her and put them on.
I lye down on the bed.
She started applying a liquid substance to my skin.
It was hot.
I let out a whimper.

Sorry it doesn't hurt much.
I shook my head.
After a few minutes she began to scrub it off.
It's so painful.
You have hairy skin I'm trying to clear it all that's why you feel the pain.
I shook my head.
She finished doing that and I stood up from the bed.
