"NURRAIN!" Maleeka screamed, jumping on her husband whom she hasn't seen in a while.

He pulled her closer, deeply rooting his head in the crook of her neck. If he is to choose where he wants to live forever, then it's definitely here. The arms of his wife.

His arms refused to let her go even when she started pulling back.

"Please stay a little longer." He pleaded as they moved into the house, wrapped in each other's arms.

"You didn't tell me you were coming back." She whined. Unable to wrap the joy she's feeling around her head. How she misses this man!

He sat down on the couch, watching as she removes the jilbab, then pulled her to his lap.

They stayed like for seconds before her merged his lips to her. Relieving himself the hunger and the yearn for that.

"I have missed you sooo bad My Leeka. SOO BAD!"
Her face turned visibly red. This is something he says every single time, whether on call or physically and it always does the same thing to her, make her stomach churn.

She stood up with a large smile on her face.

"You know what? You should probably take a shower before I whip something for you to eat."

He needs that so he didn't budge rather walked himself up to his room, their room.

Everything just as he left it, perfect! The scent of Maleeka consuming him signaling she has been using the room. He smiled at the thought of her cuddled in their duvet, wishing it was his arms.

He walked towards his closet and relieved his body off the clothes and then wrapped a towel across his waist.

"I will be using turmeric instead of ginger." She blabbered as she walked into the closet.

He moved a few steps closer, his height hovering over her.

"How about you serve an appetizer first." He mentioned staring deeply into her eyes.

She cupped her forehead; "That!! I should get some oranges before you step out of the bathroom."

Nurrain let out a loud chuckle pulling her into his arms.

"My forever innocent wife."

With that he sealed their lips together again, breaking only to breath and then took her to bed.

***********

Maleeka moans softly, trying to open her eyes from the deep slumber. A smile stretched on her lips the moment she sets her eyes on her husband who is deep in his sleep.

This used to be their routine before work got involved. Still after months away from each other, it felt the same. She gently placed a soft kiss on his forehead and slowly pulled herself out of his embrace.

Quietly, she went to the bathroom, washing her body with her favorite Body wash, their favorite. She took her time to do her usual routine not minding that it's past 11pm.

Coming out of the bathroom, she meets him seated on the bed with his phone on his hand. He looked up smiling as he turned off the screen.

"Now it feels like you are teasing me Maleeka."

"Nurrainnn!" She runs into the closet since most of her clothes are there.

She took her time to moisturize her skin and then hopped into a sweatpant and a matching colored turtle neck shirt. His favorite dress on her. She sprayed her body with Yara and a complimenting scent, Mela. One could tell her perfume vendor sure knows what she's doing.
