The marriage!

Chapter 20

Jassmin's POV

He had called me beautiful. For the first time, in my life i was called beautiful by someone who wasn't part of my family. So far only my dad was the only guy who had called me beautiful. I was happy about it though. All that was bothering me was the way Amin looked at me and the things he said.

Time came for me to leave my own house to my new house. I hugged my mum and looked at my own house before i leave. It was my comfort, my escape from the world.I knew every corners of this house perfectly. I never thought about leaving my family. 

Just as i was about to leave, My dad came and kissed my forehead. I was controlling my tears and was blinking fast so that my tears wont fall. I walked towards the car. The car started,causing my heart to ache. I closed eyes. I didn't want to speak and prayed to Allah (SWT) that Amin won't try to talk to me. I was leaving my home, family and everything.

Allah (SWT) had listened to my prayers and we reached Amin's house safely. We didn't speak to each other throughout the journey. I stepped out of the car and felt a lot better when the fresh air hits my face.

Aisha greeted us at the doorstep and hugged me. She was one of those pople that understands me well. I am glad that i will be with her.  She took my bag and my other hand and pulled me inside all the way to their living room. She also teased me by saying that she has to respect me since i am no longer her bestie but her sister-in-law. I chatted with Amin's family for a while than amin's mum more like my mum told Amin to show his room. Amin brought me to his room. i went into the room that i would be sharing with Amin. I have never shared my room with anyone  maybe once or twice with my cousin fatimah. Guess now i have to learn how to share the room. Aisha brought in the suitcase and before leaving she grinned at me. It was just too akward. Me and Amin alone in this room. I have never been alone with a guy before.

I didnt know what to do or say so i took out my pajamas and headed towards the bathroom. I decided to unpacl my clothes tomorrow. I tied up my hair into a bun and went out to see Amin who has also changed his clothes. He looked much more handsome and hot. I quickly looked away when he caught me staring at him.

We sat on the bed and i told about why i need time to adjust to this marriage and also that i will not be wearing hijab in this house since i am already married to him and there isn't any non- maharams in this house. I was happy that actually he understood me and agreed to give me time.

There was pin drop silence in the room and it got be more awkward. Then Amin spoke

"Are you okay?" he asked. i actually want to talk to him  a lot but i just can't! i don't know why?

"I am good just feeling a bit tired and sleepy" i told him. I actually lied i was not feeling sleepy at all is just that i didnt like this awkwardness. 

Lying on the bed , unable to sleep because the thought of Amin next to me wasn't helping and it makes my heart beat fast.  The way he looked at me and the promise he made was replaying in my thoughts. Argh! I need to stop thinking about him and sleep. I thought of the gifts that were given to me by my relatives and friends during Nikkah. The girls whom i had gone to religious class with had given  me a book in which they have signed and wishing me luck. Fatimah had brought me a bracelet and few Islamic books on marriage. Somehow i managed to sleep, but it took me a long time though.

"Jassmin please wake up!" i heard a man saying closer to my ears, and I could feel his hot breath. I jumped up in shock and accidentally hit Amin in the process and i saw him sitting with a black sweatshirt holding his nose. 

"OMG! I am so sorry! Are you okay?" Here let me see." I just hit him.

"I'm fine" he said while rubbing his nose and then taking his hands away. I noticed that he was wearing a black sweatshirt.

"Why were you wearing a sweatshirt to bed?"

"Well, i got cold and you stole the covers." i looked around myself and saw that i was completely wrapped in the covers.

"I am sorry again. Guess i will be your worst wife ever. " I said feeling a bit embarrassed and put my head in my hands.

"HAHAHA ! It's okay, you're not the worst wife ever, i'm sure that a few who are worse than you." He said.i smiled. His laughter was awesome.

"Anyways, i'm joking. Don't worry i will teach you how to share the bed. After putting this on i didn't feel cold at all and i had good sleep. It's time for Fajr anyways. I am heading to the masjid to pray. " I climbed out of my bed and went tot he bathroom to do wudhu. 

After doing my Wudhu, i came back to my room and saw Amin in his White Jubbah and a black coat. 

"I will be back soon Sweetheart!" he said. He called me sweetheart and i blushed a bit. After tht he did something that i didn't expect. he kissed at the top of my head.

Then i went to pray for Fajr. Once i was done, i sat on the bed , awaiting for Amin's return. I got mu handphone and saw messages. I replied to all of them.

Amin came back and asked "Aren't you sleeping?"

"Yup i will soon. Anyways, what time do i have to wake up?"

"9 am and let's go back to sleep i am tired."

With that i doze off. I turned to face him and his face looked so peaceful but slightly snoring.

I woke up and saw that the time was 9.30 am and jumped out of the bed and rushed to the toilet. I put on my clothes. Just then I saw Amin.

"Why didnt you wake me up?" I asked him feeling a bit pissed that i had to give a bad impression to my new family.

"Dont worry sweetheart, Mum is not at home and i didn't want to wake up my beauty from sleeping." He told me. 

"Okay!" i think i was blushing too hard that maybe my cheeks might be as red as tomato.

"Come on, Aisha's waiting for you." He took my hand and led me towards the kitchen.

"Assalamakalium Aisha"

"Walaikum salam my bro and Jassmin.....oops i mean sister - in -law. I have made breakfast for both of you." Aisha said and served us a plate of toasts and fried eggs.

"Jazakallah" with that all three of us sat down and had breakfast in the kitchen.

"Amin don't you have work?"

"No, I took 1 week leave" He said while looking at me.

"Oh i see... To spend time with your lovely wife. That's so sweet of you." she teased.  I smiled at them. I think  i am blessed with a good and caring family. Maybe it was part of his plan.
