Our Destiny

Chapter 39- Figuring it all out. (Edited)

Amir's POV

I woke to an empty bed and sighed as the events from yesterday came back flooding into my mind. I heaved the blankets off me and looked at the time. It was 11:30 am, which meant I was late for work. I also need to start going to the gym, inside the house more often.

I quickly got into the shower and brushed my teeth before getting dressed thinking about how this is going to get resolved or if it will last longer. To be honest I am bothered and I kind of like that we have had an argument and got all these feelings out from within us as it shows that none of us is afraid to voice our opinions.

When you argue with someone it kinda shows that you are not afraid and you love them but it is only up until a certain point. I am not saying arguing over everything is good because it is not.

I don't like that fact that this has been our biggest argument so far, that Aali slept with Amira. I can't believe how I have been acting and it is quite embarrassing that my whole family probably know about the argument right now. Not saying she can't sleep with her daughter but she didn't need to move to another room.

I closed the bedroom door and walked towards the nursery and opened the door finding it empty and the proceeded to Amira's room but that was also empty and tidy.

I headed downstairs wondering what are my parents going to think about me and how I have been reacting, but then again this is between me and Aali and our little family. There is no need in getting anyone else involved especially mine and her siblings but if she wants to that is her choice.

I finally made my way towards the kitchen and started filling myself a glass of water, when Amira came into the kitchen followed by Aaliya.

I nervously placed my head behind my neck and rubbed it up and down, not knowing what else to do. I smiled as Amira ran up to me and jumped on me. She is just a child she doesn't deserve to be treated with silence.

"Hello baby, how are you?", I asked her as she began laughing.

"Daddy, I had a dream we went to DISNEYLAND!", she screamed as my heart dilated with love and guilt at the word 'daddy'.

Why had I been acting like that without knowing what I was doing? Aaliya was standing in the kitchen, acting like she was getting something from the fridge but I knew she just wanted to hear what I was going to say.

"Aww, really baby. How about we go to Disneyland next week. Yeah. In sha Allah", I asked her as I threw her in the air and caught before repeating this a few times as she started shrieking in laughter.

"Yaaayy!!" she squealed as I placed a kiss on her forehead, and genuinely smiled and genuinely meant my promise to her to go to Disneyland in the upcoming weeks. In sha Allah, if Allah wants then there will be no more drama in our lives.

I placed her on the floor as she ran into the dining room as fast as her little legs could carry her without banging into anything. I chuckled and shook my head a little as I looked at her ran.

I turned around and jumped a little as I forgot Aali was standing there in the corner of the kitchen and I gave her a little smile as she just looked down. I sighed before grabbing a water bottle and making my way towards the dining table.

I sat in between Safina and Aaliya regardless of the argument as it does not concern the rest of the family. I saw Aaliya breath out in relief and give me a small look of gratitude but also sent me a little glare.

"I got an email dad, that I need to go to work as I have a new client coming in but he seems too real to be true, however, we did a background check and the business seemed to have a clean and clear record of no violent behaviour whatsoever," I said earning some surprised looks from my dad as I haven't physically been to the office in a few days but have done everything through face time.
