Hafsahsaeedahmad67..this chapter is for you😘😘

Zahradeen pov

What have i done?...i made her cry after my promise to always keep her happy, am such an idiot..we just got married and we have had our first fight...was i inconsiderate or selfish?...but she should also view thing in my own perspective.. I cant let her go for hours..talk more of days..she can as well attend the programs and come back home, even if she doesn't want to drive..i can drive her around..

I overreacted.. I need to set things right..

I slowly stood up and began walking in slow strides towards her room..for the four months of our marriage we have never slept apart..although we niggle sometimes but have never had a major fight like this..

I got to the door of our room..well its hers.. but i could not bring myself to knock..i could hear her sobbing..and with every sob my heart broke into bits..she was speaking to salmah i guess and she informed her she was not going to attend the wedding..

What the hell have i done?..am the bad guy now..everyone thinks so..

I slowly crept to my room..laying on my bed i tossed and turned...i missed he strawberry and vanilla scent..her hugs and my stolen kisses..her soft lips and innocent smile..slowly i drifted off into a torturous sleep.

The morning light came..and guess what?..i was late for prayer..my alarm clock..my wife😢😢..i quickly rushed and took my bath..i supplicated and got dressed for work..i could not afford to be late today..i had an important board meeting..

I stopped by the door of her room..but i could not bring myself to knock..i sighed and drove out..i know today will be a very long day..

Was he right?...noo..he should understand.. Salmah had been my childhood friend and has been there for me all through and the little i can repay her with is being there for her wedding..and he is not having it..

I did not sleep a wink all through the night, i really missed him..but that is his punishment for punishing me even though am also suffering too...i could not have a decent sleep...

i missed my subh salat but before i could finish i heard the front door shut..so he went out without a goodbye kiss..it takes two to play a game...

I arranged the whole house and baked some cookies..i also cooked some dishes and set aside his own share..i wasnt that heartless🙅..

At exactly 5:00 i put on the most serious face i could mutter..he is coming back right now and i need to show him who the boss is..i sat cross legged on the sofa and tied my head tie in a ture ka ga tsiya way..i began shaking my legs to maintain my all serious demeanour..i crossed and uncrossed flinching at every little sound.. I really got tired of frowning too much..

So this guy really wants to irk me...after our fight..he still decides to come home late..or...o my God..maybe he went to find comfort in another woman..a doubt was settling at the pit of my stomach..

I checked the time it was already 7:00..this has never happened before..no matter how busy he is he comes home by 5:00 sharp..

I began panicking.. what could have happened to him..i picked up my phone and dialled his number..but it was going into voicemail.. It is becoming annoying..i began sobbing..

"O Lord please keep my husband safe"..i cried out..if this is your way of punishing me..i accept the blame but please come back home safe .i prayed..

i laid down on the sofa standing up at any slight movement i heard outside or any car engine pulling in a driveway..should i call Abbas or fahad??..no i dont want anyone to know what transpired between us..i laid down on the floor laying my head on the sofa i did not know when i slept off..

I was so distracted during the meeting..i tried not making it obvious.. After 6 good hours of meeting and coming into consensus, we finally signed the deals..if things go on smoothly.. This would be one of our ground breaking deals and Baba would be so proud of me..

I could also take a leave and be with my wife and most importantly go for our honeymoon which was cancelled...my wife...oh God i pray she is no more angry with me..i picked off my phone to call her but i realized my battery was down...plugging it into a universal cable i decided to call the records officer to bring out the necessary records we needed..

"Mr Muhammad please can you get me those records..we need to start putting things in motion"..i spoke through the telecom..

After almost thirty minutes the door to my office finally opened.. I sighed

"Ehmmm..sir..we could not find the records sir. We checked everywhere but it seems its missing"..he answered shakily..

"What do you mean?..are those records dust that will just travel to thin air..records are meant to be kept safe and you are the custodian.. That is why we hired you in the first place.. I give you 1 hour to check for them or you can kiss your job goodbye "..i spat out..

Why cant people just do their job proper.. Am just supposed to oversee not babysit a bunch of grown up dudes..

He scampered out of the office..after 20 minute he came back with the records.. I guess threat also do work..i started filling as fast as possible..

After filling i checked my time..it was already 7:00..i got carried away .salmah is so going to kill me..i quickly rushed to my car and drove as fast as possible...

Entering into the house, i met her sleeping on the floor with dried tears on her face..God.. I just made things worse..i came close to her and whispered her name..she sleepily opened her eyes and murmured an Alhamdulilah..

I picked her up and headed upstairs.. I changed her and also changed and got into bed yesterday was torture..i cant bear the same today again...i brought her close to me and wrapped my arms around her ..she snuggled more closer into my arms making us the perfect pair..i enclosed her inhaling her scent and drifting off into dreamland..

The next morning..i woke up..i tiptoed and took my bath. I need to be in the office early to complete the work so i can have a lot of time for vacation.. i did not bother waking her up..i dressed and left her a note..keeping it in front of the mirror.. I have tortured her and i cannot bear it..she deserves an all girls time.. I informed her she could go to salmahs house..i wrote a lot of kisses like a teenager obsessed with glitter..i knew she will be very happy when she wakes up..

I woke up faintly remembering zahradeen taking me to the room..i scanned the room not finding him anywhere..my eyes landing on a note laying in the bed mirror..i took it up and read..

So he left for office..after coming back late at night yesterday..anger building up in me..but wait he said i could go over to salmahs house..i quickly forgot my anger and quickly arranged my thing..am going to surprise her because she literarily broke down when i told her i could not attend her wedding.. I happily parked my bags.. Took my bath and took my car keys and off to wuse i drove..
