Jalilah's POV
We were back home and I was cold as heck for some reason. My feet were freezing and my hands were shaking a bit. I had told Dulamah to lay his body on my feet to warm them but he declined. "I don't wanna hurt you", he said.
"Please", I begged. He sighed then grabbed Ayah and placed her on top of my feet. "Mommy I'm sitting on you", she laughed out. I laughed a bit as I eyed her. "I have to get to work baby. InShaAllah I'll be there for the doctors appointment at three", he said before saying the du'a and salaams then walking out of the house.
I stared at the door as it closed shut then told Ayah to get up so that I could lock the door. She jumped off of my legs and ran to the door with me following behind her. I opened the door just as Dulamah was climbing inside of the car.
"Yo Zawj.........come here", I called. He looked towards the door and walked over with a small smile. "Yo Zawja what's up baby?", he asked. "Where's my kiss?", I asked. He walked half way into the house and gave me a nice sweet kiss. "Thank ya baby...have a great day", I said pushing him out again.
He chuckled to himself and walked back to his running car sending a small wave back. "I love you Du", Ayah yelled from the doorway. He climbed into the running car and blew a kiss towards the both of us before driving out of the driveway.
I closed the door and locked it then looked at Ayah. "What do you wanna do today?", I asked. "Hmmm......I wanna go to Jannah's house and play dress up. It could be much funner mommy", Ayah said.
"Alright then princess, go and get ready", I said happily. Ayah squealed and ran off to her bedroom. I called Jannah to tell her that we were on our way. "Good. Then I'll call Aisha and Amirah", she replied back happily. "Cool", I said before giving salaams and hanging up.
Lately I've been having craps. I don't know what the hell was wrong with me but damn it hurts like fuck. I headed to the kitchen to make a cup of Red Raspberry tea. It was a very beneficial tea.
"What are you doing mommy?", Ayah asked. "I'm making myself a cup of tea", I replied back. "Ewww........Dulamah said that tea isn't good for you", she said with her hands on her small hips. "Well you can tell Dulamah that he is wrong. Would you like some baby?", I asked.
Ayah shook her head 'no'. "I don't wanna get in trouble with my brudder", she said with big eyes. "I'm sure you're not going to get in trouble", I told her. "And I'm sure I am", she replied back quickly.
"Well then missy. Would you like something else?", I asked. "Yes mommy. Honey with halib", she replied back with a big smile. "Honey and what?", I asked. She sighed big then rolled her eyes. "Honey and milk woman", she giggled. "Haha very funny", I said before going to prepare her honey and halib.
"Why do you drink tea like this?", Ayah asked pointing at my clear tea glass. "Move your hands so they won't get burned", I said. She quickly moved them but still pointed. "What do you mean?", I asked. "It's supposed to look like qahwa in disguise", she said. I laughed out, ha. So not true.
"I don't like your kind of tea. I like Dulamah's tea. That there...", she says pointing at my glass again. "Is water with a tea bag that adds color", she finished. Yeah yeah whatever munchkin.
"What type does Dulamah makes?", I asked her. "Somali tea. I love Somali Shay", she smiled wide. "Maybe if you knew how to make that then I'd like your tea mommy", Ayah said.
"Here taste this", I said holding out the spoon with the tea on it for her to taste. "Um.....no thank you", she said. I handed her the honey and halib after stirring it and she sipped on it.
