"Where are you going to again today?" A sleep Ahmad question, seeing his wife already dressed up.
Aysha look up at him, "oh you're awake, I'm dressed up already, about to go to work, I took leaves only for two days, which was the day we got married and yesterday, so I have to resume today."
"Two days leave!" He exclaim, flabbergasted. "I'm a doctor and I decide not to go to the hospital for two weeks straight, what make yours different?".
"Because I'm a journalist and news comes out every single day." Aysha defend.
If I don't go to work in a day boom! News everywhere! Aysha thought.
"And I'm a doctor, people die everyday and get sick every hour, why didn't I resume? Because I want to be able to spend some time with my wife, unfortunately she don't feel the same way." He complain, Aysha ignore him and continue tying her turban.
"I don't know about you ,but I have work to go to" Aysha reply hastily adjusting her turban and turn to walk out.
"And my breakfast?" He inquire getting off the bed.
"Wait for the twins, I'm sure before they arrive you can fix something for your self" she walk out, get into my car and drive away leaving Ahmad to stare at her back surprise.

Immediately Aysha made her way to the office, she set her bag on the table before moving a few tables away to sign her arrival.
She sat down on the black leather chair and switched on her laptop about to start her work, when her phone rang.
Picking it up she looked at the caller to see it's dina.
"Hello!" She muttered.
"Amarya, yakike?" Dina questioned, by her tone Aysha can identify that she was happy.
"I'm fine dina and you?" Aysha responded.
"I'm good Alhamdulillah, so tell me, how is home and where is Ahmad?" She questioned.
"I'm not at home Dina, i'm at work" Aysha answered, making Dina to screamed, Aysha moved the phone away from her ear as it was too loud.
"Why on earth would you leave your marital house two days after your wedding to go to work? I mean come on woman!" Dina yelled, she was so disappointed of her friend.
"Dina my Job is more important than anything to me right now, sure I love Ahmad but I can't neglect my job just for him." Aysha replied nonchalantly.
"What if your were asked to choose? Who would you choose? Your job or your husband?" Dina asked and after a brief moment of silence.
"Yesterday you weren't home, today you still are not at home, why don't you do your husband some justice and stay at home for like a month two?"
"A month?" Aysha questioned horrified. "That's impossible!"
"What's impossible is you going back to work two days after your wedding, we told you this Aysha, when you get married, your husband needs comes first." Dina kept scolding. "Did Ahmad give his respond to you going to work today?"
"Yes he did." Aysha lied.
' well he more likes complained but didn't say anything.'
"And?" Dina queried, waiting for all the details, from the tune Aysha used, she knew she was lying.
"And what?" Aysha snapped irritated, it's part of them to know when the other is lying.
"And what did he say?" Dina goes straight to the point. Aysha keeps quiet, she didn't know how to tell her that he didn't really gave out his consent.
"He said no didn't he?" Dina completed, Aysha can feel the disappointment in her voice.
"He didn't say no... neither did he say yes." Aysha tried to amend but Dina just sigh in response.
"Aysha, did you really think Ahmad will tell you even if he is angry? Ahmad loves you for God's sake, believe me I have never seen a man look at a woman like Ahmad does to you" Dina spoke out, making Aysha to feel a little guilt.
"And I love him too, I really do, I just don't want to lose my job over something not too serious" Aysha defended.
"SOMETHING NOT TOO SERIOUS?" Dina yelled, making Aysha to pull the phone away from her ear, "Are you even listening to yourself?"
'Well I am and Its awesome'
"Aysha you are a married woman, a Muslimah, you may be a mother soon...." Aysha immediately cut her off.
'Wallahi, swear this girl want to give me a heart attack today.'
"Woah, woah, woah, who says anything about children?" Aysha questioned wide eyed, she hates children, children are a nuisance to her.
"Why did you marry Ahmad, Aysha me the truth please?" Aysha lamented.
"Because I love him." Aysha stated.
"What if your were asked to choose? Who would you choose? Your job or your husband?" Dina asked the most crucial question, after a few seconds of silence. Aysha answered.
"My job".
