Thairaa :

I wonder all year if he was still visiting her ... I had lots of thoughts ... thinking ... What if he's actually not in work right now ... What if he was with her ? ... I don't care if he still loves her, he is my husband now .. Is ... is he still giving her love ... ... Is she fine with it? What are they doing now ? ... Is he touching her? Is he saying the most beautiful words to her ... And throw his anger on me ? ...

Don't blame me of having such thoughts, even if my relationship with Luliwaa is good, I would never forget when I used to see them together ... The necklace was in my hands, I was looking at it .." I should go and see "... I wore my Abaya(عبايه) (Abaya is a simple, loose overgarment, essentially a robe-like dress, worn by some women in parts of the Muslim world.), I walked to the door hoping it was opened ........ Luckily it was open, I didn't care if I saw him coming, or even if he was with her ... I am going to her house.

It took me almost half an hour walking to Luliwaa's house, my face was covered, I didn't want someone from my family to see me or something, I reached her house, Luliwaa's house was an old traditional house that was made with palm fronds, which her house's door was only locked with a wood, they had a small bell on it, if anyone visit them they hit the bell, I heard her mother's voice Azza's, I shacked the bell, her mother came out to me,

" Thairaa! Welcome my dear welcome! Please come in!!" said Azza,

" T-Thank you aunt Azza, umm ... I was wondering is Luliwaa here? " I replied,

" Yes honey she is inside",

" Is ...... somebody else here? ",

" No my darling, only me, Luliwaa, her father just left to work",

"Hmmm .. Shaheen is not here then" I said to myself " That's good",

We entered the house, I saw Luliwaa, she saw me, there was a huge smile on her face, she ran hugging me "Thariaa! It has been forever since I saw you!", I hugged her a soft huge without saying anything, who knows she were faking it? or even if it was real ... I didn't care for all this ...I saw Luliwaa and whispered " I need to talk with you real quick ... alone", Luliwaa took me to her room and closed the door, we both sat in the ground, she looked at me " Wow! it sure has been forever since I saw you! Kinda missing you hahah! ... so .. What is that thing you wanna tell me Thariaa? ...", I looked at her with the coldest look, I pulled her hand and place my hand top of her's and closed it, she was confuse, " What is this a gift? hehe.. " said Luliwaa,

I keep looking at her without saying anything, she opened the cover

" ............ "

A really long awkward silence flow all around the room, a wild smile on Luliwaa's face just disappeared and turned into a shocked face, her eyes opened, her hand starts shacking, it was the necklace.

" ....... Does this looks familiar for you .. ? " I said, I could hear her heavy breathes and fear slowly come and surrounded around her, she couldn't even left her face looking at me or say something, like she felt that I knew everything is going on between them....

" My dear Luliwaa look ... I don't care what it used to happen between you and Shaheen, I do respect how much you two used to love each other, I didn't care back then, but please Luliwaa ... Now Shaheen is my husband ... At least respect the fact that we are married now .. At least for your reputation .. "
