Hafsa

Thirty

I woke up to the sound of my phone ringing. I groaned before picking up. "Hello" I said in a faded voice. "Hafsa! Hafsa!! Get ready we're going out today." She chirped in. I checked the caller ID. "Oh, Anisa, its you. Where are we going to?" I sat down properly. "Just get ready please, I'll come pick you up by 2pm." She stated and hung up.

I sighed and kept the phone aside. I tried standing up but couldn't. My legs are killing me. My whole body hurts. Why are this babies stressing me out this much? I laid back down huffing. My phone started ringing again. I smiled before picking the phone up. Yeah baby is calling! His ringing tone is unique.

"Morning beautiful." That voice! I missed it. "Hey handsome." I was grinning from ear to ear. Why am I suddenly happy? "Looks like someone didn't forget to take her happy pills." He laughed making me to giggle. "Uhmm Hun, Anisa and I are going to hang out later." I bit my lip nervously. "Hmm are you asking or telling me you're going out?" He asked. "I'm asking." I replied.

"Then correct your statement." He can be annoying sometimes. "Can I go hang out with my friend." I rolled my eyes even though he can't see me. "No, try again." He chuckled. "Can I please go out with my friend?" I was starting to get irritated. "No try again, almost there." I could hear him laughing silently. "My sweet lovely husband I need your permission to go out with my friend."

"Yes baby you can go, but please be careful". I smiled." Don't worry I will be...."

"Habibty I have to go now, bye I love you." He hung up. I tried standing up again. Luckily, I did. My right hand on my waist as I walked slowly to the bathroom. I took a quick shower before ayman wakes up.

I came out and dressed in a simple free gown. I can't wear skirt anymore. I'm just seven months far but my belly is so huge. "Mamaa!!!" I heard ayman calling. That's unusual! He rarely calls me mama! "Chu Chu" I squealed at the sight of ayman. "Upses!" He raised his hands up. "No baby I can't carry you, mummy is not feeling well." He wasn't buying it.

"Upses!!" He pouted. "Come" I sighed. We went downstairs and made breakfast. I checked the time, it was only 11:03am. I finished my breakfast and did the dishes. I laid down on the sofa looking at ayman watching cartoon. I just can't wait for him to start going to school...

"So where are we going to?" I asked sinking into my seat more. "Cold stone." She grinned. "Oh goodie, but you know aasim would skin me alive if he finds out I went to cold stone." I laughed. "Why?" She asked. "He doesn't like it when I take ice cream because of the baby." I rolled my eyes. "Woman it's not like he's going to find out" she shrugged.

We went to cold stone and placed our orders. "Where's amira? I haven't seen her in like ages! She's such a bad friend." I pouted. "Don't worry you'll soon see her." She laughed. "Hmm Anisa don't you think it's time to settle down?" I asked looking at her typing away from her phone. "I'm already sitting down, Durh!" That's her being sarcastic. She knows what I mean. "You know what I mean, stop pretending." I groaned. "Seriously marriage isn't in my agenda right now." She shrugged. "If you say so. But think about it." I sighed.

My ice cream was finally bought. I can't remember when last I had ice cream. "Chu Chu don't ruin your shirt with that ice cream please." it's like I told him the opposite. He's just like his Father.

I finished my ice cream before Anisa. I waited for her to finish before we left. She started driving. "How about we just go for a ride before I drop you off." She smiled. "No, I'm already exhausted. Take me home please. I'm even hungry." I rubbed my huge tummy. "Good, let's go eat somewhere." she grinned.
