FOREVER WITH YOU

Chapter 67: First Date

To everyone who checked up on me, thank you so much 🥺❤️  I'm doing fine, Alhamdulillah. I just got back from Maiduguri yesterday.

Rayyan knew that Tasleem had not recovered from the fear of what happened recently. He hugged, and coaxed her for a while before she gradually calmed down. 

The fear gradually subsided and she fell asleep again.

*****

Early in the morning, after fajr Khalid was taken away, they went directly to where the jet was stationed.

Khalid was bound to the wheelchair. "Do you think that the family wouldn't come to know of this?" Khalid questioned, trying to find a way out. 

"I'll be more than happy to tell them what you did. What are you so afraid of Khalid? Living your life from scratch? For once be a man, hustle and feed yourself." Rayyan laughed mockingly and added. "It's not that hard, don't disappoint me cousin."

"Rayyan please let me go, I promise I'll stay away from your wife." He begged. 

Rayyan's face became cold. "You should've done that from the beginning, but it's too late now." He looked at the three men that would escort Khalid to his destination and said. "Make sure to take him there safely and tell me immediately when you reach."

More tears rolled down on Khalid's face. "Rayyan, please!" He said.

He had started to miss Tasleem after being here for a little while. 

He was worrying and longing for her.

They had been separated for a while but Rayyan felt like they had been separated for a year.

He felt his heart tremble. Without Tasleem beside him, he felt very uneasy. He only felt assured with her in her arms.

He wondered if she went back to sleep again. He knew she was traumatized after everything that happened.

He just wanted his wife to live happily every day, so he did his best to send the troublesome Khalid's away as soon as possible and return to a steady and peaceful life with his wife.

Therefore, he wanted Khalid to understand that he had reached the end of his tolerance! and he didn't care if Khalid hated him.

Tasleem was the most important person to him. He would never allow himself or anyone else to hurt her. 

He had wanted to make Tasleem forget her life in the past and live happily. But under his watch Khalid tried to rape her.

Therefore, he was not going to let Khalid ruin his life and marriage anymore.

Khalid was screaming and curing at the top of his voice. After Rayyan delivered the order, he turned away, refusing to spare him even one more look.

He got into the car and drove away.

Tasleem was in a squatting position in the living room. And Snowy was rubbing against her baby pink Jalbab. The door was locked by her, She was now more sensitive to her surroundings. And the feeling of being watched couldn't go away from her, so she decided to come down and stay in the living room.

After Rayyan went out to pray, he didn't come back. It has been a while now. Did he travel and leave her alone again? 

Her big eyes welled up with tears from the thought. 

She soon got lost in her thoughts.

When Rayyan came back the door was locked. Fortunately, he remembered that he had the key to the living room door.
