Asalamwalakum guys! I just got back from Wisconsin and now it's 3am and I though I should give you all an update. Comment how you found the chapter.
Chapter 17
I was told to stay in my room till they called me outside. All the females in my family along with Sumaira, Hira and Iqra were in the kitchen heating up the food while all the guest were seated in the hall. I was getting bored so I decided to scroll through Instagram while resting my back on the head board. I decided not to think about the Zainab matter because I am sure she must have a valid reason behind not telling me and I didn't want to ruin the day, thinking and stressing about that matter.
"Api!" Bilal yells barging into the bedroom making me sit up straight since I was not expecting him to come like this.
"Oh ho Bilal, calm down. Why are you yelling and running?" I ask him picking my 3 year old brother up before he falls
"Api...mu..barik!"
"Mubarak(Congrates) you mean?"
"Yeah...yeah that is what I meant! Mubarak!" He exclaims happily
"Awww jazakallah bacho" I thank him and kiss his check while walking towards the door to close it but stop when I see Zaid by the door. Oh oh.....wait why is he here?
"Cause he is now your husband" my conscience tells me. Oh yeah...
"Asalamwalikum" I greet him staying still in my spot and looking down. I didn't look up but I felt him walk up to me and Bilal.
"Hey Bilal? Sara baji has candy with her. Do you want some?" Zaid asks Bilal to which Bilal nods
"Yeah! Bilal want candy!"
"Okay come by me" Zaid takes Bilal from me during the process his hand touches me giving me a unknown feeling. I didn't understand what Zaid was doing but I just watched him take Bilal out the room and then come back in and locking the door making me a bit tensed.
"Ummmm...Zaid, what are you..." I couldn't finish asking him cause in a second I was tightly taken in a hug by none other than Mr.Zaid. I was stiff for a second because I hadn't ever properly hugged a guy before not even my...dad but then I felt Zaid running his hand up and down my back making me relax and I hugged him back. I felt him inhaling my smell and move more into my neck sending shivers down my spine.
"Walaikumsalam" Zaid whispers into my neck which I was glad was covered by my hijab. After a while, he moves out of the hug but still doesn't let go of me, he keeps staring into my eyes.
"Zaid? Can you leave me now?" I ask bringing his attention back
"No" he says with a mischievous look in his eye
"What? Why?"
"Well I have been wanting to take you in my arms since the time you said yes and today I can finally so please allow your handsome husband to hold his beautiful wife" He answers making me blush while he tightens his arms around me. I remove my hand from around his torso and put it on his chest. Big mistake...his chest felt like he worked out. I bet there is a six pack there but I push my thoughts away and try to push him away but he didn't move a bit.
"You got to try harder wifey" Zaid says leaning in forward and placing a kiss on my forehead making me smile brightly. He takes me in another hug and I gladly hug him back. I was thanking Allah swt a thousand times right now for blessing me a husband like Zaid. This time, he lets go of me but holds my hand and walks toward the bed making me sit down while he kneels down infront of me. He holds both my hands in his large ones.
"Inayah, alhumdillah that Allah swt blessed me a life partner like you. I can't promise you that I'll bring the stars down for you but I can promise you this that I will try my best to always keep you and your munchkins happy. I'll try my best to be the husband you want me to be. From you, all I want is your trust and loyalty and love" he says winking at me " Inayah, you are one of the most important person in my life now and I want you to trust me and share with me all your problems, big or small" he brings his hand up to my face and cups them "you went through a lot in a very young age and I am proud that I am your husband now and forever insha'allah. Now you have me, and I promise I will always keep you and your munchkins who are now my siblings as well, happy and try my best to give you all what you want." He gets up and sits next to me kissing me again on my forehead making a tear shed down my face. "Hey, hey why are you crying? Already making me break my promise?" Zaid asks wiping my face. I don't know what to say to him so I just hug him tightly, showing him how much his words mean to me. He was shocked for some time but regained himself and hugged me back running his hand on my back
"Thank you Zaid" I whisper slowly and move back "And those were tears of happiness" I tell him smiling wiping my tears but he stops my hand and starts wiping them himself
"I want to be the one who wipes your tears no matter what" Making me smile back and nod.
"Heyya people inside! You guys can come out now I think unless you are too comfortable inside" Shazia Api yells from out the door. Ya allah! I blush looking down while I hear Zaid chuckle
"Okay we better get going" Zaid says getting up while I nod but tell him I will fresh up since I am sure my face messed up due to crying to which he nods and walks by the door then turns around "Inayah?"
"Yeah?"
"You look beautiful mashallah" He says and walks out closing the door behind him.
