"Malik i can't find my pink blanket ".

Zain stormed out of the bedroom whinning with a pout on her face.

Malik looked at her from the couch he was sitting on with his MacBook on his laps.
"Where did you keep it?"
He questioned with a mischievous grin on his face. He knew she would come looking for her favourite soft comfy pink blanket and too bad he had given it out to the laundry without telling her.
She noticed the mischievous look he was giving her and suddenly narrowed her eyes at him demanding that he tells her where it is.
"I didn't take it.."
Malik raised his hands in mock surrender trying so hard not to laugh.

"Liar liar pants on fire!".

Zain quickly tackled him on the couch before he escaped laughing at his lame attempt to supress his laughter.

"I took it to the laundry "..
He said between laughter.

"You know i can't sleep without my comfy pink blanket and you took it to the laundry without my knowledge".
She gave him her puppy dog eyes leaning her head on his shoulder.

"Aww you cute thing, come here. Your blanket will be with you tomorrow as for now,how about i keep you warm in my arms ".

Malik said as he gathered her in his arms planting a kiss on her forehead. He could feel her smiling against his chest.

He's planning on taking her to Vegas with him but he hadn't told her yet, he just wishes her employer will grant her some days off.

*****************
Amal had been so eager to go back to work after her one week vacation,a huge part of her was glad for the little break because she got enough time to connect more with her mother and her little brother. Her mother has been recovering quite well,with Amal making sure she had the correct diet and taking her medication on regular basis. Her brother on the other hand pestered her into going to the park with him the other day,she wasn't up for it but she had fun with the kid. She watched how tall he had grown in a short period of time. She had always had a soft spot in her heart for Mehmoud junior considering how alone she had been for about 12 years of her life before he was born,and how their father died when he was barely six years old. She had always taken care of him,and feels like a proud mom whenever he does something impressive.
On the other hand, her eagerness to go back to work is mainly because of Malik,they had been talking on phone for the past few days now,once or twice a day. Amal loved every part of her conversation with Malik,to be honest with herself,she couldn't wait to see him. Not more than a year ago, he was the guy she had been dreading see at the office due to his cold nature and no-nonsense aura. But look who she misses now and couldn't wait to see. Surely time changes so many things and so many people. She thought to herself as she finished folding the pile of clothes on her bed putting them back in her closet after picking out the outfit to wear to office today.

She dressed in a burgundy maxi skirt with a cream coloured long sleeve shirt,tucking in the shirt. She wrapped her scarf neatly pushing back every strand of hair in and wore her favourite silver flip-flops shoes.
She quickly finished dressing up and joined her mother and brother for breakfast in the dinning room. She met them deep in conversation with MJunior doing most of the talking while her mom listened with keen interest,with a smile plastered on her face. Amal felt her mind at ease seeing her mom recovering very good,a smile made it's way to her face too. This is the first time,in a long time that she feels genuinely happy,seemed like everything is happening in her favour and for that,she is most grateful to Allah.
She approached them after taking a jar of orange juice from the fridge.
