Unfaded Love

CHAPTER FIVE

Zaifa Sultan

My eyes opened on the sound of the alarm. I saw the time, it was 5:00am. When i tried to wakeup i felt a hand around me and for a second i was scared. I had to wake him up for the Tahajjud Namaz.

My eyes moved to his face. He looked so innocent. My hands slowly moved to his face and I started carressing his cheek. For some reason i felt lucky and a smile made its way on my face. He looked like a baby to me right now. I wonder how will our kids look like ? Like him or me ? Wait...wait...what is wrong with me ? Its just been a day and i am already thinking about our kids...something is really wrong with me. Before i think more stupid things let me wake him up and offer the Namaz.

"Adl..Adl...wakeup. Its time for Tahajjud", i said while tapping lightly on his arms.

"Hmmm...just 5minutes...let me sleep for 5minutes".

"Adl...its already late...we will miss Tahajjud...we were supposed to offer together na"? I bent little before saying.

Adl openes his eyes at once. By this action of Adl, zaifa completely fell upon him. They both stared at each other, their body making weird sensations. It took a minute for them to realize their position. Zaifa got up and ran inside the washroom. Closing the door behind her, she kept her hand upon her chest which was beating rapidly. Being so close to a man was her first time and him being so hot in his sleepy look was not at all helping her. Yes, he looked hot! She thought.

"zaifa is everything okay? Why are you taking so much time?" came adl's voice while he knocked the door.

I came out of my trance and slapped my forehead slightly saying, "yes yes everything is fine. I'll be there in 2 minutes ".

"okay. I'll just set the prayer mats until then".

Zaifa came out of the washroom and saw Adl sitting on the prayer mat and taking Thasbeeh. She joined him and both offered Tahajjud and were waiting for Fajr Azaan. After few minutes it was time for fajr and Adl had to go to the masjid.

"I will be going to the masjid and might return a bit late, you offer your namaz and sleep for sometime".

"okay. But what time will you return back"?

"I will return after sunrise. Why? What happened"?

"umm okay. No nothing. Just wanted to know", i said giving him a small smile.

"Are you sure"? Adl asked confused.

"yes yes very sure. Now go. I dont want you to be late for fajr because of me".

"okay. Il leave now, Assalamu alaikum wa rahmathullahi wa barakaathuhu".

"Wa alaikum Salam wa rahmathullahi wa barakaathuhu".

Zaifa forgot to close the door and went to offer her fajr namaz. She then read Quran and was sitting on the edge of the bed slightly dozing. She was thinking if she should wait for Adl to come back or sleep. She knew she wanted to wait for him but was scared about what he will think about her.

"will he think that I'm a desperate woman if I wait for him"?

"No sweetheart I won't. Instead I will be very happy that my wife is giving up her sleep and is waiting just for me", Adl said leaning on the door.

Zaifa suddenly stood when she heard his voice and started looking everywhere except at him.

"umm.. I.. I was not sleepy so.. Umm.. I thought why don't I wait for you", i said tightly closing my eyes before looking down.

"really? Then was I dreaming of you sitting on the bed and dozing?" Asking Adl walked inside and stood in front of her, a smile playing on his lips.
