Fatima

chapter 8

Fatima

I woke up to the feeling of a hard but comfortable surface underneath my head, " hmm what can this be?" I thought to myself. The moment I recalled my senses my eyes flew open and I came in contact with my husband's chest. I immediately shifted back nervously hoping he was still asleep, "good morning, Fatima," and i gulped visibly. I looked up to see him smiling at me and i was shocked and captivated by his smile, the person that didn't speak a word to me through out the nikah and ride here yesterday was smiling at me. His smile completely transformed his features and made him so much more handsome.
"Good morning," I said clearing throat realising that i was staring.

I got up from the bed and went to the bathroom to clean myself up. "Can you show me the kitchen so I can prepare breakfast while you take your bath?" I asked shyly. I prepared toast and egg with tea and set up the dining table. After breakfast we went to visit my in-laws and my parents.

Later that night Faruk told me he'll be resuming back to work the next day. "I'm going back to work tomorrow so please wake me up early and I heard you've completed your medical degree so I'll see if i can get you a job in one of the hospitals around. Lets go to bed now." I am so happy he was thinking about me too.

I woke up very early the next morning to prepare breakfast and then i woke Faruk to take his bath and get ready for work. After eating he said goodbye and left so I returned to bed since there was nothing for me to do. I woke up sometime around 12 and my sisters and Faruk's sisters came to visit saying they knew I would be bored. We had a great time before they left in the evening.

I prepared dinner and set the table then sat in the living room waiting for my husband. I must have dozed off because I woke up to the sound of the door "Welcome back, how was work?" I greeted Faruk
"Work was fine, sorry i came late i wasn't expecting you to wait up for me." "Come lets have dinner after you freshen up" I said leading him to the room. After dinner we talked about random things trying to know more about each other.

The week flew by quickly and Faruk took me out for the weekend.
