I told my dad about Kabeer and he requested to see him tomorrow which is Friday. I'm so exhausted from cleaning the house not that I don't clean the house daily but today was an extra for me.

Dropping myself on the bed making a hollow, I exhaled. Looking at the ceiling, as I let my thoughts take control. Knowing that I might be a bride soon gives me chills and I dunno why maybe I do but I'm trying to convince my mind that everything would be fine.

I was distracted from my chain of thoughts by my phone vibrating under my pillow, who could be possibly calling by this time of the night, briefly checking my wall clock which reads 11:45pm, my thoughts kept me up this long. Heart desire displayed on the screen "I thought as much" I said aloud to myself plugging in my earphones before sliding the green button

"It's late" I blurted

"Reason I should ask why you aren't asleep" he said "Can I get a hello?" He asked "Assalamu alayka" I replied "Even much better, wa'alayki salam. Why are you still up? Thinking of your future husband?" He asked and I'm pretty sure he's smirking

"Nahh.... I'm straight. Why are you calling me anyways?" I asked "To hear your voice before I sleep" he replied, he seriously think that I'm going to believe that? "Ever since when?" I asked "Since now, it's a start" he replied "Okay. I'm hanging up" "You're sooo dry"

"No I'm not, just exhausted" "What did my wife to be could possibly have done to make her this exhausted? Let me guess... Nothing?" He laughed and I yawned "Kabeer I'm serious" I whined "Everybody knows you barely touch a thing... Lazy lazy" "That's not true" I said lazily, my eyes already drooping "Kabeer I'm hangi..." And sleep took over

"Wakie wakie" someone whispered in my ears. It's a male's voice, well that's strange because my dad would never wake me up or maybe I'm just dreaming. Until I heard a louder wake up call

"Arghh!" I screamed and I heard a chuckle "Kabeer?" I asked "Yess??"
"Am I dreaming? What are you doing in my room?" I asked confused "You're fully awake, I'm just still on phone" he replied and I realised my earphones are still plugged in my ears, checking my phone I saw our call duration 6:17:26

"You've got to be kidding me" I gasped "Well you said you were gonna hang up and I was waiting on you" he said "So you was on phone all through my sleep?" I asked "Yep" he replied, oh my God! I'm doomed! I never left my habits of sleep talking "I never knew you snore" he said "I never knew you're creepy" I said angrily

"I'm only creepy for you darling" he laughed lightly "For real tho, do I snore?" I asked curiously and he laughed "Kabeer?" I whined "Just kidding!" He replied and I sighed thanking God "But you farted tho" he said "KABEER! I HATE YOU" I yelled and hung up

Freshened up, observed my prayers, did the house chores, ate breakfast. Checking my phone I saw 9 missed calls and four messages

Heart Desire💞: Hey pick your phone. Why do you enjoy ignoring me?😧

Heart Desire💞: Okay your fart didn't stink. Smelled like rose...okay that's awkward. I seriously don't know what you've done to me😫

Heart Desire💞: You're seriously not going to pick? What's wrong with a fart? A fart is a fart, no need to be embarrassed, everyone does it😒

Heart Desire💞: Babeeeeeyyy! Please pick up, I was only kidding

He had better be kidding, I really hope I didn't fart in my sleep, eww that'd be bad, atomic bomb alert. I dialed his number immediately
"Babyna! (My baby!)" He said excitedly "Waye babynka? (Who's your baby?" I faked anger "Are you still mad?" He asked "About?" I asked

"You know...the uhm..fart?" He stuttered "Why would I? Everyone does it" I replied "Now that's my baby girl" he said "How was it? Like how did it sounded?" I asked "The thing go skrrrra! Papapa kakaka! Skrrrii papa and a turdum dum!" He laughed "I HATE YOU" I hanged up and laughed. He called immediately but this time it was face time
