Zubaida preparing for her wedding day and Zu drops a bombshellChapter 71:
Zeenat P.O.V:
My first day back at work and it feels so empty....
I miss my baby girl already.
I get caught up in my assignments, and for few hours I forget about my home life. It is around lunch time that I decide to check on my hubby and daughter, since he decided to work from home.
I bought us lunch and upon arriving home I notice that it is spotless, even where our lil angel Yusrah is.
Me: Hey, I brought food
Shuaib: Great, I'm starving, didn't have a clue what to make (plant a kiss), so what brings my dearest home, not that I mind?
Me: Well I was missing my angel and wanted to see how hubby was coping... You doing quite good, I must admit.
Shuaib: It's not me, my mother decided that it's best to keep a maid, so she got us one and she offered to pay even though I insisted that it was not necessary but you know... "Mothers are always right!"
Me: Well at least we got one less thing to worry about...
Shuaib: Please don't bring it up again, I told you I am going ahead with it, please just be supportive.
Me: (sighing) fine, let's chow! I gotta be back at work soon.
When I got back, I couldn't concentrate on work, not with my mind swarming with worry.
I know I should be supportive, but I'm worried, what if it fails... it's not just us anymore, we have a baby to think of, plus we both working I don't see the need for him to earn more...
My phones rings and it Zubaida
Me: Hey babes!
Zubaida: You won't believe this! I got a promotion! You know what that means!
Me: Spa weekend with your two favorite girls?
Zubaida: Exactly! Soo what about this weekend?
Me: No go, we going to Shuaib's parents... apparently some family are coming down from overseas and they want to meet the baby.
Zubaida: Awww okay well let me know which weekend you free and I'll work around it.
Me: I'm really happy for you Zubz, you deserve it! You worked really hard!(Teary up)
Zubaida: Hey what's wrong?
Me: (hicups) It's nothing, just everything is fast forwarding, just now you gonna be Mrs Sathar...
Zubaida: Heyyy you know I'm always here, do you want to grab a coffee before going home?
Me: No I'm fine (trying to sound cheerful) maybe another time, I got My grumpy pants at home (laughing)
Zubaida: ok if you sure
A month later....
It almost time for Zubz wedding! Wedding preps are on the way! Thank God I lost my baby fat, so now I can look my best for my bestie's wedding, after all I am maid of honor!
Work is going well, I got three more assignments, and looking after Yusrah hasn't been too bad
Shuaib being the home daddy is working out great, and Grace the maid is a welcome addition to our family
Shuaib's business is still in the planning process, sooo there are no real results yet, but I realize that I must have faith that he will do it.
He's my hubby after all...
...And My baby is already getting her first tooth and giving us sleepless nights.
How I miss being young and carefree...
Just kidding, I love being a mom, even when I am at home, we have so much fun!
Just love dressing her up!
Shuaib usually has bad dress sense.
He calls it the "chillax look"... Who puts on a track-pants and a hello kitty shirt...only my husband!
Well enough badger, I got frantic Zubaida on my back to call her.
Wonder what that about?
Ring
Zubz: Hello
Me: Hey babe what wrong?
Zubaida: Aussies Babe...Zu got a job there
That just enough to make anyone bolt awake... including me
