Omar's Treasure

(( •Chapter 13•))

Oh, he's a workaholic. I was on jeans and a blouse. I quickly wore an abaya and wrapped my hair with a scarf. I opened the door looking shocked and surprised. Omar. Omar Mohammad at my place again. This is hard to take it all in.

"Assalam Alaikum,Omar" I greeted him with a smile. I ushered him to come in with my hand.

"Wa Alaikum Wa Salam,Rabiah" I said to her looking at her. I admired her beauty again on that floral scarf. She had that "shocked" look again. Ya Allah, she looks cute when surprised.

"This my Aunt, Aunt Ameenah" I said to him introducing him.

"Hello Ma'am. But, what's wrong with Safia" he asked. How did he know Safia? I never told him her name.

"She's down with a fever. How did you know she's Safia?" I asked.

"Remember I had a background check on you" he replied smiling. That's right, I forgot. Rich and the way they spend their money. If you wanna know, it's simple,right? Just ask me.

"You'll be fine, Insha Allah, Safia" he said to Safia. He then turned to me saying...

"So, are you willing to go on a date with me? " Am I hearing right?  I was startled. I blinked once. I blinked twice. I blinked thrice again. I pinched myself in a secretive way. Am I dreaming? Omar just asked me on a date. Alhamdulillah!

"You're not dreaming, okay. So, stop blinking your eyes and pinching yourself"he said. Then, I realized it really wasn't a dream. He's really asking me out on a date. Alhamdulillah!

"Huh?" Really?  Yes, I'm willing to" I said but I was jumping inside of me. I asked Aunt Ameenah..

"Can I?" She nodded. But Safia. She's sick. Aunt Ameenah will handle it. I was glad. I took a step to walk into my room to apply a touch of make up and lipstick. Its like he read my thoughts when Omar spoke making me freeze...

"You look beautiful, Rabiah. There's no need for make up. I'm sure that's why you're walking to your room. Your abaya and scarf are matching. You just need your shoes" he said smiling. His killer-smiles again. Ya Allah!  I'm drowning.. He just called me "Beautiful". I know I am. But hearing him state the obvious made me feel butterflies in my stomach. I felt the entire zoo in my stomach. I smiled to my room to put on my shoes. I came down bidding Aunt Ameenah goodbye and kissing Safia's forehead. I didn't know when I'll be back. But, I prayed for her quick recovery. I walked out of the living room towards Omar's car. I was about opening the door when his hand grasped mine in an attempt to stop me from opening the door. He opened the door for me and I got in.
" Thank you"I said to him before getting in. I was so excited. Not every guy does that, right? Sorry guys! He walked towards the drivers seat and hopped in. He started the car. We were now moving when he broke the silence.

"So, you want to know everything about me, right? " he asked again.

"Yes, Omar. I want to. If you can share, I'll be glad. But if you don't want to, I'll understand." I replied him hoping he'll tell me everything and Yes, he agreed to it. He drove for what seems like 35minutes before we came to a parking lot. He parked and we came out of the car. He walked towards World Aquarium. When I saw the word engraved on it, a tear dropped from my eye. I remembered my parents. That was where Dad fulfilled Abdullah's wish which was to visit an aquarium.

Flashback!

"It's Saturday, champ! Let's all go to World Aquarium." I remembered Dad saying making Abdullah jumped and screamed. His wish finally came true. On getting there, Abdullah jumped out of the car. He kept on screaming. We went inside and saw different kinds and colors of fishes - Green, Blue, Yellow, White, Ash, Even Pink. Safia loved the pink.  Abdullah loved them all.

"I'm so happy, Alhamdulillah!  Thank you, Dad"  Abdullah said jumping and hugging my Dad. He was so excited.

"I'll fulfill all of your wishes. Insha Allah. Safia's. Rabiah's. Abdullah's and Rafiah's (My Mom)." He said giving my Mom a kiss.

End Of FlashBack.

I didn't know I was now pouring tears until Omar wiped my tears with his fingers.

"Why you crying?" Omar asked. He looked worried and concerned.

"Thank you" I said to him. He looks confused with that look of "An appreciation, why?  I asked why you're crying".

"My family came here. It was Abdullah's wish to visit World Aquarium. I just remembered my parents." I explained. I was really glad he brought me here. At least, I was able to see their smiling faces.

"Oh, I'm sorry. I never meant for this to happen. I also love coming here. Shall we go somewhere else now?" I apologized and suggested. I always want her to smile. Seeing her in tears broke my heart.

"No, it's okay"She said holding my hand to stop me from starting the car.

"Let's go in" she added. We went in. She really enjoyed the view. She kept on smiling but the tears came down again. What's it called again?  #scratching my head. Ahh - Ha -tears of joy!.  She was having that right now. She was in tears but of joy. We left the aquarium after what seems like 30minutes. I drove past the aquarium and drove to a five star hotel. I already made reservations there. I know it's weird. But, it's time I let go of some pain and it's time I let her know my past. When we got there, she opened the door and came out. She asked...

"What are we doing here, Omar?. An hotel?  Why?

"Rabiah,trust me, I won't hurt you." I said to her. I meant it. I won't hurt her. I just hope she'll trust me and she did.

"Yes, Omar. I trust you" I said to him. I just hoped he won't break my trust. I'm keeping my V-card for my husband. Right, we all know what it means. That pride that came with it. Yeah! After ten minutes, we were in the room, Room 33L. The room looked nice and luxurious. "It was comfortable" was all I said when he asked if I liked the room. A waitress came in with dinner which was rice and stew  chicken  and wine. We had our dinner together.

"Alhamdulillah,and thank you" I said to him. He just smiled. Then, I noticed he was looking tensed, nervous. I wonder why.

Why is he looking tensed and nervous?
