Burnt Embers

Chapter Thirty Five

You can't live with a person for long without having a misunderstanding, no matter how much you love each other a conflict is inevitable, what is important is how you go about solving your issues, how you're willing to move past it and  how much you are willing to compromise to be together through it all .

The next day, D have a lecture free day due to the fact that their  lecturer is a visiting lecturer and will not be coming for the week .Seeing that it has been long she did a thorough cleaning in the house,she put on her knee length skirt and a sleeveless shirt and got to work ,her house help helping her since the twins have left for kindergarten.

She brought out the new set of incense and oudh she bought from her course mate the other day in school sorting them out ,keeping some in her room , some in the living room and the best ones  in Kaybee's side even though she might not be using them for him any time soon. The thought made her sad .She went ahead and clean his side which is dusty because of lack of habitation .

She made her favorite meal for breakfast around 11:30am and went in to take her bath before the twins come back from school by 12pm. She took her sweet time in the bath scrubbing herself because of the dust . She performed ablution even though it's not yet time for salah and came out only for her nostrils to be invaded by a foreign scent , a sweet manly scent mixed with papaya .Looking up, her eyes met his dark orbs and she almost shrieked out in fear .

" Inna lillahi wa inna ilaihi rajiun " she said closing her eyes, willing for the hallucination to go away .She know that she miss her husband so much sometimes she imagine him being with her but this is a little way too much because he looks real .

Kaybee wanted to tell his trembling wife with tightly shut eyes that he is the one , he's back for her and its a surprise but he couldn't utter a single word because he has never seen her in only a towel  draped around her torso .

He calmly and slowly analysed her, inhaling deeply ,trying to control his raging emotions before saying " Angel its me , don't panic I'm home " but D didn't seem to hear him because she was still trembling by the door .

He walked up to her and engulfed her in a tight hug, letting all his emotions flow in the hug. God ! He had missed holding her in his arms though it was just once that he ever held her like this .

" Open your eyes, stop trembling please ,it's your Hayatee " he whispered into her ears and after a while she looked up at him, breaking the hug .

" When did you come back? " she stuttered

" A few minutes back angel " he answered trying to gather her in his arms again but she flinched and went back into the bathroom closing the door to his face.

" Please pass me my clothes " she called out from the bathroom which made him chuckle. For a second he thought that she flinched because she is still not over what her ex did to her .He is aware of his promise not to force her into doing anything unwillingly but he doubt if he can , not only after seeing her like that .

He opened her wardrobe and fished out an abayah  , he rummaged through the inner wear compartments and brought out a pair of undies .He knocked on the door and she brought out her hands yanking the clothes from his outstretched hands .

She came out after a few minutes looking breathtakingly beautiful without makeup ,indeed Allah is Great for creating such a dazzling damsel who happens to be his for all eternity in shaa Allah .
