Chapter 39

Let's just say I woke up at the right time but sat at the edge of my bed to remember everything that had happened yesterday and ended up getting late but unlike other days, I am late with a big smile on my face. A big smile while brushing my teeth, a big smile in the shower and another big smile while combing my hair. I went straight to Ahmad's room and got him ready for school. There was a noise in the kitchen with aroma filling the air, how could I forget who he was already

Omar! I thought with a smile

"Good morning!!" He choruse making me smile even more "Morning" I responded "Good morning dad" Ahmad  greeted "And good morning to you little one" He said picking him up and placing him on his neck making Ahmad giggle as I shook my head "No rough play boys" I warned as he dropped Ahmad back to his feet "Okay mom" Ahmad said as I rubbed his head "Okay mom" He mimicked Ahmad making me glare at him as Ahmad laughed

"Breakfast is served" He announced as we digged in "Ahmad stop picking your food and hurry up" I warned as he resumed eating his food again. I cleared the table and quickly washed the dishes before heading out "Ahmad let's go" I said reaching out for his hand "Dad said he'd be taking me to school" He said "Ohh what a relief!" I thought as I picked my handbag and keys "Where are you going?" Omar briefly appeared wearing a polo shirt with his abs on display, I looked away immediately

"Um.. Work?" I said more like a question "You're no longer working there" He said as I looked at him confused "I called your job earlier and requested for a sack letter" He added "What?" I growled "Why would you do that without my consent? Do you know how hard I've worked to get there?" I asked "I know. Have some rest and let me handle everything henceforth" He said pecking my forehead before leaving making me blush from this gesture 

I took my shoes off, laid on the couch and wiggled my toes
"Welp! I guess I deserve some rest after all I've been through" I sighed and drifted off afterwards. I barely slept due to Mrs Rose lawnmower, I growled out of frustration, got on my feet and got busy with house chores, Omar returned shortly and the atmosphere was tense as we pretended to watch whatever was displaying on T.V.

"I'd just go have a nap" He said "Yeah" I nodded, he stood up to leave and stopped midway "You've become more beautiful my Maryam, I've missed you" He smiled, there were knots in my belly and I wanted bursting out of happiness but I simply smiled back as he finally left for his room

I got into the kitchen and wasn't sure what to cook. I tapped on his door
"Yes" He responded "I was wondering if there is something you would like to eat"  I said nervously "What?" He asked "I said I was wondering if there is...." I was saying as he opened his door with no shirt on as I stare at his bullet scar

"See something you like?" He asked as I shied away "Nothing's there to like" I said nervously making him chuckle "Today is your day off from everything, I'd do the cooking" He said deliberately brushing me while he walked by "What do you do that for?" I asked "Sorry, do what?" He asked "Never mind" I rolled my eyes. I heard a knock and went to get the door

"Habibaaaaa" I screamed as we hugged "Why don't you ever come visit? Mom and everyone misses you" She whined as she sat on the chair "You know work has been tight and all, I was planning on visiting for Eid celebration" I explained

"Ohh that's fair. So I met someone" She said excitedly "What about Hafiz?" I asked with a straight face "That one?" She rolled her eyes "Forget him" She said "Are you guys having issues again?" I asked "He is all up in my space and I don't like it besides I am not his yet, he'd be acting overprotective and shit" She pouted like the kid she is "Listen, Hafiz loves you genuinely and everyone except you knows that. The earlier you realise that, the better for you" I said "Yeah whatever" She rolled her eyes as I smacked her "Why do you do that?" She asked "Still gotta let you know who is the eldest" I said as she mumbled a few words under her breathe

"Something smells real good around here" She sniffed "Ohh yeah was gonna tell you that Omar is here" I exclaimed "Wait which Omar?" She asked as I gave a disgust look "My Omar of course, who else would I be talking about" I said "Sis I seriously don't know what you're talking about, is it the Omar that passed away four years ago or...?" She asked again which made me furious "Come with me" I only said as we headed to the kitchen but no one was there except a pot of stew on fire, I checked his room but he wasn't there. Checked my room and Ahmad's room but he wasn't there

"I swear he was right here, he came here yesterday" I explained as Habiba looked at me confused, he walked in shortly "I've been looking for you" I sighed "I was in the restroom" He said "Who are you talking to?" She asked "Omar of course" I replied "And where is he?" She asked as I look between her and him "I don't see anyone" She said as I got confused

Wait is he a ghost? I walked up to him and held his hand, I felt a huge hand enveloped my small one as my heart raced

"Hahaha! You need to see your faces. Oh my God!" Habiba laughed real hard holding her chest "What is the meaning of that?" I asked recovering from a mini heart attack  "A little prank wouldn't kill would it?" She winked "That was not funny" I walked passed her "That was my exact reaction when I saw him" She said "More like you passed out?" I smirked "You told her?" She whisper asked Omar as he shrugged "Why wouldn't he huh?" I raised an eyebrow

"So you guys are ganging up against me abi? Issokay" She pouted "Ohh come on, a little play with my little sister wouldn't kill" I stated "Ewww little sister? What do you take me for?" She gagged and walked away making me laugh

"She's crazy" He mouthed while he motioned his hands in air drawing circles around his ears "I know" I mouthed as we both laughed "The stew is burning" I said "I'd just boil some pasta" He said as I nodded "It's almost time to pick Ahmad up" I said "I'd be out in few minutes" He said making me smile

"Don't be hard on yourself, it was my fault you had to go through all this, if I could turn back the hands of..." I was saying till he hushed me "It was nobody's fault and even if it is anyone's fault, I'd take the bigger blame. For all the pain I caused you, and you literally growing Ahmad all alone" He said

"I love you" I said "I love you too" He replied ignoring the burning stew which might burn down the house if not taken from the fire
