Destined To Be (Ongoing)

chapter 21

I quickly closed my eyes tightly when I heard him enter the room...

I always covered my hair in front of every non mehram..

So, although Haaris was my husband now, I still cared to cover my hair in front of him as I was not comfortable..

But it was difficult for me to sleep with my stole wrapped around my head and besides, I had a habit of sleeping with my hair let down..
But I guess I didn't have a choice today..

I had let my hair loose, but had covered them with the stole such that only some of my front hair were visible..
As from the back, I had carefully wrapped the duvet around me..

But, I knew my sleeping habits..
I always tossed and turned around and hugged my pillow..
But today I was determined to not let that happen..

Haaris came and lied down on the other side of the bed..
I had my back towards him and he was also in the same position..

I had kept two pillows in the middle as a barrier..

But still sleep was far away from my eyes..

At some point, I finally fell asleep..

But, I woke up in the middle of the night to find myself facing Haaris who had also turned towards me in his sleep..
He was sleeping soundly and peacefully with a look of content on his face..
His light snores filled the silent room.

For the first time in my life, I was this close to any man..
And for the first time, I observed Haaris closely..

His slightly long and silky hair were disheveled with some strands resting on his forehead.
He had perfect long, thick eyelashes which made even me feel jealous..
He had a small beard which covered his jaw.
It wasn't too long and bushy. Just perfectly trimmed..
His nose was straight..

Then my eyes fell on his arms which were crossed in front of his chest.
I never realized Haaris was muscular and strongly built.. I thought internally..

His toned arms and chest could be clearly predicted by his tightly clung T-shirt which showed off his form making it obvious that he worked out..

He looked so peaceful and innocent, not to mention handsome too..

For a moment, I was lost..

But when I gained my senses back, it hit me what I was doing???

I was checking him out!!!

Wallahi!! I seemed so creepy..
I mentally facepalmed myself..

Then my gaze fell on my stole lying on my pillow and I gasped..
My long hair were sprawled on my back..
I quickly grabbed the stole and wrapped it around my head..

I looked at the time, it was almost Fajr..

I got up and sneaked towards the washroom making sure not waking him up in the process..

I performed ablution and spread the prayer mat and prayed..
I put my hands up for making dua.. but no thoughts came to my mind..
It was blank..

I was not sure what to ask Allah for..
I sighed and got up folding the mat..

I turned around and saw Haaris staring at me with a look I couldn't understand.

He was sitting up on the bed with his back resting on the headboard and his arms folded in front of him..

I looked away..

He got up and went towards the washroom..
I was feeling sleepy as I didn't get enough sleep last night..

I laid in the bed and fell into a dreamless sleep..
