Fatima

chapter 10

Fatima

I was discharged from the hospital yesterday and both our families were at our place till late in the night so I didn't get to see much of Faruk. Since this morning, Faruk has been nicer to me, by helping me move around, preparing breakfast and even washing the dishes.

"Faruk, you don't have to do everything, I'm already bored from sitting all day, at least let me assist you," I protested when I was told to sit while he prepared lunch
"No Fatima, I don't want you stressing yourself, remember you were discharged on the condition that you maintain bed rest," he reminded me and I groaned totally frustrated.
"Ok, you can help chop the vegetables sitting down," he gave in.

We had lunch and decided to sit down out in the garden, chatting over coffee. It was during this process that Faruk confessed his love for me, I was soo happy.
" I love you too Faruk, I don't know when or how it started, but I can't imagine my life without you in it. You complete me and make me happy, thank you for being there for me and my family during this tough times," I confessed too. Faruk hugged me happily and we enjoyed the rest of the afternoon peacefully.

Later that night, I thought about my life after getting married and realized that it has been nothing but happy. I said a short prayer for my parents for choosing the right person for me and also prayed to Allah to always keep us happy with each other.
