"You're back!" Aysha voice was the first thing Ahmad heard when he stepped into the house.

"Yeah." He dismissed. Then proceeded to walk up the stairs. But a hand on his sleeves held him back.

"Where are you coming from? It's late!" She questioned only a soft voice, like she was expecting him to yell at her.

Ahmad can't really blame her. He has been acting odd for a few days hence why she will think that but that wasn't the plan. The plan was to ignore her and drive her mad.

"I was out." He dismissed. Her eyes roamed his figure landing on his collar. Her eyes widened in surprise and then she held onto him tight.

"Ahmad what is this?"

"What?" He sounded utterly confused, like he didn't knew what she was talking about while it was their plan to make it look suspicious. They had gone to a makeup shop and bought a red lipstick. The kind Taylor swift will wear. Ibrahim has used his index and middle finger to make a shape that looks like a lip.

They knew if Aysha saw it, her mind will be in turmoil. Thinking that her husband did something.

"This!" She snapped, moving his collar in an uncomfortable situation. "Where were you Ahmad and why is their lipstick on your collar?" She Flung her hand side to side which just shows she's angry.

"Aisha!" He sighed exasperated. "I'm so tired. I went somewhere. Can you please let me be?"

"Let you be? Let you be? Ahmad don't tell me you have start commuting zina! I'm I not enough for you? Must you go and follow other girls? How long has this been happening?"

"I'm so tired Aysha!" And then he walked up the stairs. A smile lingering on his lips. It felt good to have his wife worrying about him. It made him feel important.

                      ——————————
Immediately Ahmad entered the room, he called Ibrahim to give him the latest insights on what's happening. The call beeped twice and Ibrahim picked up the call. It was like he was waiting for the call. "Guess what!" He asked immediately he heard the beep indicating Ibrahim answered the call.

"What?" Crunching sounds we're heard and Ahmad could bet that his friend was eating Pringles.
"Man, her expression! She was utterly speechless!"

"I told you nah, just continue and you will notice her behavior and attitude will change. You know how Aysha is. She hates competition and she will up her game if she realizes that she is about to lose you, just up you game. Make her swear. After all, all is fair in fair in love and war."

                            ——————————
Aysha head was swimming, thoughts jumbled and all over the place. Her husband finding solace in another persons arms.

No matter how she is trying to convince her heart that it wasn't true and her husband would do that... her brains seems to dwell on the fact that all the evidences were right there looking her in the eyes.

Why would her husband find another woman to sate his needs? Wasn't she enough? Why wouldn't he come to her? Was something wrong with her? Those insecure thoughts made its way to her head until she screamed out frustrated.
