Chapter 4

Tasleem's POV

I was at the kitchen cooking dinner when Aslam came back from work "Tasleem he called me from the living room can you please sit for a minute please he asked okay sure I sat down facing him he started setting some rules but my mind wasn't there I woke up with menstrual cramps today I was in pain that I didn't really get anything he said after a few minutes of talking he got up and left I had to cook his dinner so managed to finish cooking it I went upstairs to his room to call him he came downstairs ate and then went out of the house the pain was getting unbearable I went back to my room after clearing the table and doing dishes I went upstairs to my room to try get some sleep but I couldn't I sat on the floor holding my stomach I was already in tears I laid on the floor I didn't know what happened but I blacked out

I woke up to someone shaking me bit the fell unconscious again the next time I woke up I was on bed and Aslam sitting on the couch which actually surprised me why is he here dose he even care if I die why is he taking care of me urrrrrrggg I don't like this he walked up to me asking me if I need anything "no am okay I don't need anything I got up from bed trying to go to the kitchen he stopped me making me go back to bed I had no choice I don't even think I could have made it down stairs with the amount of pain though Aslam gave me some drugs to take with warm water am really grateful for that he came back with the bowl of hot water and towel I needed he sat down next to me then asked me to pull up my shirt oh god this is so embarrassing he pulled it up since he noticed I wouldn't do it myself he started massaging my stomach I fell asleep without knowing he has work tomorrow and I kept him up I noticed he sleeps by 10:00pm but he stayed up really late because of me today when I woke up I was feeling a little much better I managed to get downstairs to make breakfast but to my surprise Aslam made us breakfast scrambled egs, sausage and bread he also made coffee he asked me to sit and eat why is he taking care of me and being nice to me its creeping me out like seriously "thank you for yesterday I said not looking at him, It's okay and no need to cook dinner I'll get us something to eat on my way back from work my number is on that card over there he said pointing to our tv stand text me want you want to eat fro both much and dinner I'll send the driver with your lunch later he said and got up to leave for work, thank you I said again this time looking at him

Aslam left for work bit my mind was still on what happened I don't know why his being so nice to me all of a sudden but what ever it is am grateful he's putting effort into making this marriage work by 1:30pm the driver came with my lunch it had a sticker on it which says take your medicine, I ate and toke my medicine then slept after taking a shower I also managed to tidy up the house I hate dirty surroundings it makes me feel sick I like my place sparkling clean and smelling nice I woke up around 6:00pm to someone opening my door it was Aslam he stood by the door looking at me "Sorry I woke you up how are you feeling he asked much better Alhamdulillah I said he looked at me for a little while before closing my door I heard him open the door to his. It was around 8:00pm when Aslam came to call me down for dinner we ate in silence when we were done I got up to clear the table but he stopped me saying he'd do it I should go and take my medicine I said thank you before leaving for my room he still came to my room to ask me if I needed anything which I don't he said good night and left

I woke up feeling much better today I went to the kitchen and made breakfast Aslam came downstairs right on time good morning I greeted serving him his food morning he answered back looking at something on his phone he was about to start eating when he stopped did you put garlic in this sauce he asked looking at me yes I said looking at him confused "am allergic to garlic he said inna lillahi am so sorry I didn't know am so sorry I kept apologizing because it would taunt me if he had eaten it and got an attack its okay he said you didn't know and I didn't tell you "I'll make another one I said getting up he held my hand stopping me I looked at his hand on me then he let go off me before saying no its okay I'll eat the yam with pepper no need of another sauce and your food will get cold I sat down back on my chair without saying another word we ate in silence like always after breakfast I was about to leave for my room seems like his not going to work today Tasleem he called me naam I said joining him in the living room could you please sit he said I sat down facing him but my head was down "uhm Tasleem I don't know if there is anything you'd like to do like work or anything I heard you studied law would you like to work at a law firm or anything I don't want it to be like we destroyed your dreams or anything he said looking at me I looked up to see him still looking at me I would love to join a catering school actually I wanted to be for we got married I said "okay I'd see to that he said anything else he asked no am good I said okay I got up and left for my room I toke a shower and got dressed in a red fitted gown I bought in UK then went down stairs to make lunch my best friend Noorie is coming back to Nigeria today I was up all night talking to her on phone we met at harvard she was a medical student I graduated before her she just graduated this year and is moving back to Nigeria I prepared lunch then did some cleaning I have to go grocery shopping today Aslam was still in the living room watching tv I went to the living room to ask him if I could go "uhm Aslam I called yeah he said turning his head to look at me we are out of some stuffs in the kitchen I was wondering if I could go grocery shopping I said expecting him to say no but he did the extra ordinary we'll go after eating lunch "what we I never said we why will he go with me I want to go alone on my own no no no no, okay I said then went back to my room after eating lunch I went to my room I went to my room to get a veil Aslam was already outside by his car getting there Aslam looked up at me before saying you're not going out like this change or get a hijab not giving me any room for argument I went back in got a hijab before we left the ride there was silent and awkward we stopped at next cash and carry in kado we got in and shopped together I got some chocolates and mash mellow I got some chips too we paid for everything and then left the tide home was also same silent and awkward

I prayed before going to the kitchen to start cooking dinner I finished cooking by 6:00pm Aslam went out after dropping me off at home so with nothing to do I sat down in the living room to watch Avengers End Game I was watching it when I paused it to pray magrib cause it was time I prayed and went back to my movie I was watching when Aslam came back with Noorie behind him wait what Noorie how is she here I didn't tell her where I live or that am married how is she here Noorie I called her both she and Aslam stopped and then turned to look at me how are you here I asked looking at her I should be asking you that she said with so much hate in her voice this is my house I said am married I said looking at her to see her reaction "so this is the bitch you're married too she said looking at Aslam don't ever in your life call my wife a bitch hope am clear he said looking at her dead in the eye she came and stood in front of me then slapped me on my face the pushed me Aslam came beside me and pushed her away from me get out of my house Noorie before I do something to you hell I would end up killing you and the next time you lay a finger on my wife I'll make life miserable for you Noorie now get out he said pointing at the door she hissed and turned to leave not after saying I'll be back and be ready it was said to me she opened the door and left I was still on the floor I still can't believe what just happened I can't believe that was my best friend god I need so explaining from Aslam
