Pearl (on hold)

Chapter 33

''Have you ever been in a situation where you feel there is nothing that can ever go wrong at some particular moments in your life? Everything just seems perfect,well that is the situation I'm presently in'' afreen thought as she couldn't help but steal glances at the only man that has managed to claim her heart. Her husband.

He looked so handsome even still carrying all their luggages, it was a sight she wouldn't mind watching forever.

''Are you going to sit and keep staring at this handsome face or are you going to get down from the car'' Adal said smirking and she blushed in embarrassment having been caught staring at her own husband.

''Duhhh!who told you I'm staring at you? I'm looking at the lizard that just passed behind you''she said rolling her eyes playfully at him.

''You know the best thing i love about you? You can never lie no matter how hard you try, common Afreen I'm your husband and that's enough reason for me to know that you hate lizards and wouldn't look at it no matter how much you're paid for''he finished with a smirk.

''Ya Allah, the long speech, you know you could have simply just shortened it to Afreen that's a lie''she said with huff and he grinned dropping their bags on the floor and he moved towards her placing his hands around her waist.

''I'd never call you a liar, it's disrespect and I respect you more than myself honey''he whispered in her ears and she smiled.

''Now if we're done, let's proceed, we have a ship to catch, that is if you're ready my queen''he said bowing slightly.

''Yeah i....wait what? A ship? Where are we going? Blue sky? Water? Birds? Fishes? Oh my God sharks?''she was excited and panicking at the same time, something Adal found really cute.

''Oh now hold on kitten , I'm not really sure if you're excited or scared,but not to worry ain't telling you nothing, after all whats a honeymoon without surprises?''he said and she didn't bother fighting,more than four instances that had occurred earlier is enough reason to make her not to push him to tell her,it was just going to be useless.

''I guess you're right,''she sighed and he opened his eyes in shock.  

''Second time you're agreeing without putting up a fight?now that's what I'm taking about''he said and she narrowed her eyes at him.

''I can see you're about to get violent,let's go''he said and he turned picking up their bags and slung it across his shoulders,held her bag with his left hand and took her hand in his right.

The walk from where they had initially dropped off to where the ship was wasn't far,in fact it was just a five minute walk.

''After you m'lady''he made way for her to get in before he followed behind her.

''Okayyy,why are we the only ones in here? Isn't this a public something?''she said when she realised that they were the only two in there with just a captain.

''Uhmm about that,I actually bought it,actually a friend of Abu owned it,he wanted to give it to his grandson,but he lost him so he wanted to sell it instead and I thought it would be perfect to have our own private ship here so we wouldn't face any problem ''he said and he smiled slightly which didn't go unnoticed by him.

''Heyy,is everything okay?you don't really seem happy about it''he said and she deliberated on whether to tell him or not,but did.

''Uhmm,actually it's not that I'm not happy or something,it's just that whenever i see someone or myself buy things that aren't all so important,I remember the kids and people suffering in Africa,Palestine,Syria,Gaza and other places and I don't feel comfortable,i feel it would have been better if i gave them the money.like in this case we would have both been able to manage and be comfortable in a public transport instead of buying another ship to the one you have back home''she said and he was silent,just looking at her without expression and for that moment she wished she never told him,now he'll be angry with her she thought but what came out next was totally unexpected.
