After 3 Months:

Yumna:
Thankfully, four months have passed since our nuptials. During the tumultuous moments surrounding Imran and Aisha's engagement, Ahad and I made the decision to always be there for one another and speak the truth to one another rather than fomenting miscommunication. I took out our wedding album as I was cleaning our room—I prefer to do things by myself rather than hire a maid—and thought back to all the times he had expressed uncertainty and insecurities when he told me to call off the wedding. We also prayed together, but after a few days, he started to act distant from me. I would sometimes wait up until 11:00 p.m., when he used to come, but he changed his schedule.Was his work more significant?I now questioned and wondered. He did not come for dinner this evening, unlike most days when he used to come. Since he was the CEO and could take time off at any time, what was stopping him from hanging out with me?

I long for the times when you would call me twice a day or come see me anytime after work. I miss our conversations so much.Ahad, what has happened to us?Three months ago, we got along great, but now that I try to talk to you about it, you just sidestep the subject.Did I bore you in just four months?Or was there another reason?

My phone started vibrating and had a ringing tone. I quickly checked, thinking it was Ahad who had called, but it was actually his secretary, so I left the album where it belonged.

"Assalamualeikum madam, I was informed by Ahad Sir to inform you that he had to travel overnight and would return the following day.I simply wiped away my tears, she said.

What went wrong, Ahad?Why are you hurting me like this now?Could not you even tell me that you were traveling? Just talk to me, please.

Telling me that he is already on his way, maybe thinking that I will try to talk to him to get him to leave, is pointless. Was I just going crazy?

As soon as I put down my phone, I broke down in tears and thanked her profusely for the information.

I have never had him stay away from me all afternoon, so how will I even handle it now that he is gone for the entire night?

Should I give Aisha a call or one of my friends?No, Aisha had already experienced a great deal. I will simply pray a lot and try to figure out what went wrong.
Although I am not used to sleeping by myself, I think I will be okay.

I rushed to answer the door when I heard a knock, thinking it would be my devoted husband, but it was Aisha, the person I had been waiting to call, who was there.

Hi there, Assalamualeikum.She greeted me, and I replied while welcoming her, knowing that she saw the color drain from my face.

With a worried expression on my face, I said, "Waleikumsalam," and she responded with a tight hug. I tried to smile but gave up and hugged her instead.

"Everything will be okay; in fact, Ahad was the one who recommended to my dad that I spend the night with you," she said, and all I could do was look at her.

What made him avoid me at that time?She simply squeezed my hand and told me to calm down when I asked, not really sure if she knew the answer.

"Perhaps there is something bothering him or he is under stress,"She told me she was trying to persuade me, but I did not buy any of it.

"Let us go enjoy girls night and forget about it for a bit. When he comes tomorrow, scold him and give him some of his own medicine."Angry, she said, dragging me to the sink to wash my face.

She is truly amazing.

While watching a movie, I thought, enough is enough, Ahad. Today will be the last day of you avoiding me and running away from problems...be ready to face me tomorrow. I tried to smile, which Aisha saw and gave me a thumbs up, and we both watched a movie while my mind drifted off to my husband. It had been a week, and it was enough.

"Be ready to give me answers tomorrow," I thought as I continued eating caramel popcorn while watching a Pakistani drama Zindagi Gulzar Hai. Aisha recommended it as one of the best dramas in the top ten, so I just decided to watch it with her no matter how much I tried to think of what I would do when I saw him after a long day.
