Restlessness

*******

I met Maryam coming down the stairs with a lady that looks her age walking beside her. She smiled before walking passed me and something about her smile that makes me feel restless.

I went up the stairs headed for my room when I had an urge to enter Iman's room but I just shrugged it off and left for my room, I took a bath, prayed some Nafils before I sat on my bed with my laptop intending to finish some work when my door swung open. It was maryam. She came in with a tray dropped it on the bedside and smiled. There's something about her perfume that drifts me away from reality, makes me forget my worries and keeps me locked in her eyes. I quickly lowered by gaze moving my head away from her direction but it was hard ignoring her so I got off and went to the bathroom and spilled some water on my face.

"What is happening?!"

MARYAM'S POV

Summy came over today. We gisted and talked about everything from the start, as promised she came with what I needed, the perfume and the kohl AKA "Kollin bita zaizai" warning me not to use it outside the house cause it might drag unnecessary and unwanted attention.

I took a bath wore a black top and blue jeans then I decided to try the perfume. I went to the kitchen set everything on the tray and headed up to his room, thank God his wife was not around, so it was quiet easy. I didn't bother knocking (anyways he's already used to it) meeting him on the bed busy on his laptop but his head swung up slowly meeting my eyes, ohh how much I love this man, I love the way he's workaholic it's giving hot vibes and all.

I dropped the tray on his bedside and smiled, for some long seconds there he was locked in my eyes and wow, I'm the one completely in his mind, I could see that but I didn't bother, he's all going to be mine anyways. He broke it off and then left for the bathroom, I decided to wait.

Maryam: you must be hungry, I brought dinner.

He just nodded and sat back down where he was before and continued working on his laptop.

I left the room with a huge grin on my face knowing I have succeeded even tho this is not the only reason I'm dressed like this buh sha I'm half way there.

I was discharged later that day and Fatee took me to my parents. I rested there for a while before my own mother chased me out of the house telling me to go back to my husband's house, I really hate it when they say things like that, its like they don't care what happens to me.

I intended on going to my room directly but as usual I met him by the stairs, I ignored him, went to my room, prayed, recited some chapters from the Qur'an and then I cooked noodles, I met the dinning all set, I guessed it was for her darling husband, huh, weird, we never met after the wedding wonder why.

After eating, I decided to retire for the day.

Days and weeks passed, farouk has found a new habit of working from home, so my peace literally went out the windows, I would've continued leaving the house like my old schedule but Mamy warned me against that soo there it goes.

He's always trying to talk to me, sometimes I convince myself to listen but then immediately he starts talking I just walk away, and if we do end up talking, I end up arguing with him.

Bored in my room and thirsty, I decided to go and get water. Luckily both the parlor and kitchen were empty, neither him nor his wife were present anywhere, speaking of his wife she's crazy, don't say I'm jealous. the other day around midnight I heard the woman singing in her room????? question marks obv.

I opened the fridge grabbed a bottle only to find him standing by the fridge after I closed the door, I didn't know when a hiss escaped from my lips.

Farouk: Don't you think you've hissed enough to last you a life time in just two weeks?
