Chapter 44

I called Omar to let him know that we have a guest and he should hurry. After staring at all the pots and pans for a while, I decided to start cooking. I was done in thirty minutes and still offered to serve them but got ignored which of course I was expecting, so I just sat there with them in the living room and tried to stay as calm as possible. I heard Omar's honk and I internally thanked God for his presence, immediately he swung the door he just looked at us noticing the tensed atmosphere while I flashed a Barbie smile to at least show that everything was fine

"Good afternoon aunt. I wasn't expecting you" He said as he came sit by me "Good afternoon Ya Omar" Hameedah greeted but got ignored "Do I have to inform you before coming to your house?" She asked "Ma'am it is advised religiously" He replied as I nudged him on his stomach to stop

"You can as well kick me out of your house, I can see you no longer have respect ehn Omar? I took care of your when you were little but look at you now, all grown and now talking back at me" She said as he murmured something under his breathe but I had to nudge him again

"Anyways I have something to discuss with you" She said "I'm all ears" He said now relaxing his back on the cushion "I want to speak with you alone" She urged, raised her eyebrows and looked at me as I tried excusing them but Omar pulled me down "Anything you have to say you'd have to say it in front of my wife" He said as he intertwined his fingers with mine

She looked at our hands with disgust and cleared her throat "You'd have to marry Hameedah" She declared "That is not going to happen aunt and you know that" He stated "I have already said my own whether you like it or not" She said "Keh Hameedah! Don't you have no self worth? You know I don't love you and would never will, there are thousands of men out there who would love to have you. Why can't you just have some self respect?" Omar urged "Nidai it is you I want" She pouted "I can see that you are completely shameless and out of your mind. You better not be misled because Maryam is the only woman I'd be marrying on this earth" He said angrily

"I can also see that you are totally bewitched by her" His aunt pointed at me as she eyed me from head to toe, I tried removing my hand from Omar's but he only gripped it harder "Yes I am bewitched by her modesty, the way she follows the teachings of the prophet and obeys Allah which Hameedah can never do" He said

"I am a changed person" Hameedah said "And I can see you haven't stopped lying too. I saw a post where girls went clubbing, you were among the girls and was tagged on it" He said "It is the work of Shaytaan" She said "And I don't hear you say or whisper Audhubillah minna shaytanir rajim nor do I see you pray" He said

"I don't even know why I wasted my time by coming here in the first place when I can just contact your parents and have a wedding by next week" His Aunt stated "She can as well stay with them after the marriage" He uttered "Omar!" I warned knowing he's crossing his limit "Shey you are the one giving him shoulders for him to disrespect me, you can as well insult me since you no longer have respect" She said

Omar stood up and headed to the door
"Anty with due respect and to avoid any further disrespect from me, I urge you to please leave" Omar said as he opened the door widely "Are you kicking me out of your house?" She asked "No I am asking politely to leave" He replied "I can't tolerate this height from disrespect from you two, I'd report you to your parents. Hameedah let's go" She left as Hameedah tailed behind, Omar banged the door at their departure

Still furious, he sat down and drank a bottle of water. I have never seen him like this
"Don't you think that was rough?" I asked "Forget about them" He stated
"What about your parents?" I asked concerned "I'd talk to them before she gets there" He sighed

I sat down next to him and held his hand "I'm sorry you had to go through this" I apologised "What?" He asked confused "What are you saying? No I should be the one sorry, I'm sorry that you had to witness all of that" He said as I smiled

"There's food, should I serve you?" I asked "No thanks I'd eat later, I want to have a nap" He kissed my nose and dragged his feet up the stairs. I got bored of surfing the channels and decided to clean. After fully satisfied of how sparkly the house was looking, I decided to do some laundry. I picked the basket and headed to the laundry room

As I began tossing clothes into the machine, I felt something in Omar's pocket. I checked it and I didn't know how to react to what I saw and so I decided to confront him. I saw him sleeping peacefully and shook him vigorously

"What is it?" He asked in a hoarse voice while rubbing his eyes "What is this doing in your pocket?" I asked throwing it at him as his eyes opened wider and he sits  "Baby I can explain" He said "Explain? Explain what exactly huh?" I asked "Baby this aren't mine" He replied "Wow! I must look like a two year old to you. You doing drugs now? How could you? How can you explain this to Ahmad.. To our kids? I can't believe you" I said completely disappointed as I walked away

I headed to Ahmad's room, looked around and took in the environment. I laid in his bed and cried myself to sleep. I woke up with someone rubbing my back, I already know who it was and so I just pushed him

"Oww!" He groaned on the floor "How did you get in?" I asked "Because I remember locking it before sleeping" I further said and then noticed that the door was no more "You broke down the door?" I asked wondering how I slept through the noise

"Baby please hear me out" He heaved holding his waist "My name is Maryam" I said "Wow!" He only said "Can you just hear me out and quit being childish" He retorted "So I'm being childish huh? I don't even have time for this" I said heading to the entrance but got obstructed

"Why are you been stubborn? Those drugs aren't mine, it belongs to Hafeez, he is trying to quit and I am trying to help" He explained "How are you helping him? You're not some sort of therapist" I said "I'm a doctor remember?" He said making feel completely stupid "You know me better than thinking I'd ever do that" He said disappointedly and left

I got to keep my actions in check before it ruins me

Hearing the roaring of Omar's engine made me realised that he has left after searching everywhere without a trace of him. I called him several but he won't pick so I just tracked him with his phone's GPS that led me to his office. His secretary warned that he wants to be alone but I assured it would be fine

I was welcomed by his back as he faced the window, probably watching the busy city. I silently shut the door behind me

"I want to be left alone" He said not turning around as I walked and stood beside him "I am serious" He said now facing me "Sorry" I only said "Sorry?" He smirked and sat on his chair "Wow!" He said again

"I am sorry" I said "Please leave" He pleaded "I am not going anywhere" I said "Fine!" He said and looked at me for a while "I'd just leave then" He said  picking his car keys, I walked up to him and hugged him

"I am sincerely sorry for doubting you babe" I said more like a whisper "It's so hurtful how you think so low of me" He said "I know I know and I'm sorry" I said almost breaking down as he rubbed my back "It's okay" He said as we cut the hug shortly

"Ice cream?" He offered as I smiled

A/N: Took me long enough again😒
