Her Revenge

Chapter-6

Aanya:

Today was one of the best days of my life. I spent the whole day with the most important people of my life. I'm glad Hussein decided to spend the day with us.

I know its wrong on my part to expect him to stay with me all the time considering the fact that he was on paternity leave and spent the whole time taking care of me and the babies. But I can't help it. I can't function properly when is not around. It's like I have completely forgotten to live without Hussein.

I know I'm being selfish, but, I want him all for myself. Sometimes when he is gone to office, I cry like a baby. Even though my days are pretty hectic and occupied with taking care of the babies, Hussein is always at the back of my mind. Unconcsiously, I keep thinking about him all the time.

I call him at least ten times when he is in the office. And don't even get me started with the number of times I text him in a day. And if he doesn't call me or reply to my texts I become restless and moody.

That's how much I'm depended on him. I know I sound crazy and clingy but I guess thats how it appears when you love someone so deeply that they become your world.

Hussein has scolded me a number of times to not to be like this. But I never listen to him.

Even after the babies' arrival, Hussein is my first priority. He was and he will always be.

And these days, I couldn't help but notice that he is worried about something. He is always restless and moody. Though he is physically present here his mind is somewhere else. Even today he zoned out a couple of times. I wanted to bring up the topic again but after this love making session, I did not have the heart to bring up this topic and turn this blissful moment into a tense one. I just want to enjoy the feeling of lying in his arms with no exchange of words except for the sound of our breaths.

"Heart?" Hussein called.

"Hmm."

"I love you."

"I love you too." He kissed my forehead.

"What's hppening in the office Hussein? What are you hiding from me?"

"Nothing heart." He replied little too quickly for my liking.

"You're lying."

Before he could reply to me, his phone went off. It was Rehan. He immediately jumped out of the bed and bolted out of the room. Not wanting to disturb him, I just waited there sitting on the bed wondering what was going on between him and Rehan.

After a while, Hussein came back into the room but he was getting ready in a hurry.

"Hussein, what's the matter?" I asked him but he did not reply. He just kept tossing his office files in his bag. I remained quiet thinking that he would reply once he is done. But he just left.

"Hussein?" I called him and ran behind him.

"Hussein just wait." This time he stopped in his tracks but did not turn around. So, I ran upto him and stood infront of him looking straight into his eyes.

"What's happening Hussein? Why are you in such a rush? You are not even aware that I was calling you and now you're leaving without even telling me. What's going on Hussein?" I asked him.

"Umm...something came up in the office which needs my immediate attention, so, I need to leave for the office."

"But...but please tell me what's going on?" I pleaded him.

"Heart, I really don't have time to tell you everything. But, I promise I will tell you everything once I get back from office. Until then just remain calm, okay?" Saying this, he took me in his arms and gave me a bruising kiss.
