FARMAN

THE AUDACITY

They suddenly had goose bumps.

Immediately they entered the car no one spoke for about five minutes.

Yusra: I can't believe maryam would stoop this low.

Fatee: Sha she got caught in her own game.

Iman: Please act like you don't know anything for now. let's expose her first.

'Ofc' they both said.

Yusra: He said he'll update me on anything he finds so expect my call anytime tomorrow.

Iman: Okay, and I'll look for the items he said and replace it with the fake ones he gave. And please yusra help me look for the other I'll also check in case.

Yusra: No worries.

She dropped them at home and them drove home her heart pounding against her rib cage.

Luckily, the both of them weren't home and the two children are at school so it was easy for me to look around.

I checked her room first, I only found the Kohl but I couldn't find the perfume.

I checked around the house, every nook and cranny in case there is anything else.

I paced around waiting for him to come back but I got tired and sat down in my room. Around Eleven I heard him, I quickly got out of the room and went to see him. They came in together, their hands glued together. What if... what if they have consummated their marriage? With the thought of that I felt sick and I couldn't even stand there any more, I went back to my room, with different thoughts, a part of me was telling me to just give up but another side said 'He's yours get him back!'.

I got up and headed for his room, stood there for some seconds and then swung it open to reveal him, seated on the bed working on his laptop, he looked up with a smile.

Farouk: I knew you'd co..

But then seeing her his face darkened.

Farouk: What are you doing here? What do you want?

I ignored him knowing it's not him that is talking and them walked into the room and locked the door behind me.

Farouk: I asked you a question!

I still ignored him and walked towards him, sitting on next to him. I pulled out my hands from my shirt pocket and he looked at it.

Farouk: What is...?

And that was it, my work's done.

He kept quiet starring at it, then he placed his hand on his head it was clear he was having the same headache I had.

He opened his eyes, looked at it again and then back into my teary eyes.

Farouk: Iman, what is this?

I told him everything from the beginning to the end.

Iman: I swear, if not for that I would've believed you no matter what people would say.

I said the tears rolling down my eyes.

He didn't say anything but hug me. I felt safe, I was happy again, everything is okay.

Farouk: But I can't remember a thing, the last thing I remember is you leaving the kitchen.

Iman: Everything will come back slowly.

Farouk: I can remember when I...

He trailed off then looked at me then my stomach. He moved closer placing his hand on it.
