********3rd person's P.O.V*********
Alhamdulillah today is the day of her discharge and Salim has gone to get her discharge papers. She was so eager to get out of the hospital already.
She was even happier when she thought of meeting her new babies who have been discharged already.
"Assalamualaikum," Salim entered the hospital room with Fatiyyah behind him with the paper.
Let's get going he said taking the flask which was the only remaining thing in the room.
They followed him to where the car was parked and he opened the door for her while Fatiyyah just stared at them in aww. They were just her best couple.
On reaching home, Fatiyyah helped her brother with the luggage and they all went in.
The girls went to amal's room to freshen up and pray their salaat. Fatiyyah said she was going home to get her clothes as she would be staying there for some days until Amal is fully recovered.
Amal was just desperate to meet her new babies and had made up her mind to ask Salim to take her there even though she knew he wouldn't give in easily since she was discharged minutes ago.
Amal went straight to his room after she was done praying and had seen Fatiyyah to the door.
She knocked slightly and there was no reply so she just went in and saw him seated on a praying mat reciting the Qur'an. It looked like he just finished praying . It was her fault he missed his salaat since he had to get her discharge letter.
She sat quietly on his bed waiting for him to finish.
His voice is nice Masha Allah, she thought.
He rounded up and put the Qur'an back. He folded the prayer mat and put it aside.
"How may I help you?" He asked.
"Please don't say no," she started zooming in his expression.
" Can you please take me home?" She asked.
"No," he answered.
" Please, I just want to see the little babies," she pleaded.
"No," he answered again.
" Then I'll drive there myself," she said starting to get annoyed.
" You will not set foot outside this house," he said with finality.
She was angry, he said they were friends and now he is treating her like a property. She stood up and left the room not giving him another glance.
She went into her room and was about to sit when she felt a throbbing pain in her head.
Salim on the other hand thought he had pissed her off and was feeling bad about it so her followed her to apologize.
He saw her on the floor of her room clutching her head with both hands. He immediately ran to her side and held her.
"Are you okay? Sorry, let me get your medicine," he said almost all in one breath.
He checked her bedside drawer and Alhamdulillah he saw it. He poured out water from the jug on the bedside drawer and gave her the medication.
She gulped down the medicine with no hesitation and he helped her to the bed and layed beside her.
It wasn't long before they fell asleep as they were all tired.
****************
Amal felt a strong arm around her radiating a comforting heat and she leaned in absentmindedly. She felt safe and didn't care what was next to her.
The arms wrapped around her more and realization hit her. She quickly opened her eyes and what she saw left her in aww. There her husband was sleeping peacefully. His arms wrapped around her.
She blushed at their closeness. They have never been this close to each other.
She decided to just let him sleep. He needed the rest.
She studied his face. His long pointed nose, long eyelashes, perfect eyebrow the lips, dreamy. His hair was just out of the ordinary. She wanted to run her fingers through it but restricted herself.
She closed her eyes again hoping she could go back to sleep and she did.
**************
Salim woke not long after Amal fell back asleep and gently untangled himself from her hold.
He went back to his room, performed ablution and prayed before heading to the kitchen.
He made them food. He set the table and was about to sit when he noticed Amal who stood by the stairs staring at him blankly. She was beyond surprised to see he cooked. She never knew he could cook.
"Come sit let's have lunch," he motioned for her to walk further.
She walked to the dinning table and he pulled out a chair for her. She sat down and he did the same after serving them food.
She ate the food in amusement. She was impressed by his cooking skills.
She finished her food and cleared the table. She was about to go upstairs when she heard her name.
She turned giving him her full attention.
"Get ready, we're going out," he said. She wanted to ask him where they would be going but went against it. She knew he wouldn't tell her.
She dressed in an Ankara gown with a matching veil. She took her phone and slipped into her flip-flop then headed downstairs.
There she found him seated on the sofa dressed in a kaftan. He looked just perfect. She smiled at the sight in front of her.
"You know you can take a picture, it lasts longer," he said with a smirk and Amal eyed him.
"Shameless," she said and he smiled.
She looked up in surprise. Did he just smile? she asked herself loudly.
"Ofcourse, I'm human too" He said making her face palm herself.
She entered the car after Salim opened the door for her. What a gentleman she thought note the sarcasm. He went over to his side and got into the car.
The car engine roared and soon he drove off the compound to their destination.
"So where are we going?" She asked tired of wondering.
" That's for me to know and for you to find out," he answered with a straight face. It didn't even bother her since she was expecting it.
"How old are you?" He asked and she gave him a questioning look.
"I just want to know," he added seeing the look she gave him.
" I'm nineteen and a half," she answered and he chuckled.
" There's nothing as nineteen and a half, you're nineteen," he said which made her pout.
" When is your birthday?" He asked again.
"12th February," she answered.
" Wow that's two months from now," he said.
" Yeah," she replied.
"Can I resume school tomorrow? I've missed a lot already," she said and he gave her a nod.
Just as she was about to say something, the car pulled up and she looked at him short of words.
