Dr Asma

24

The day passed in a blur and before she knew it, it was already maghrib, when they came back home.

Maheer went out to pray. After praying, asma started putting incense around the house, closing the drapes and turning on the air conditioner. She proceeded to the kitchen to check the food she was cooking, Tuwon shinkafa with miyan kubewa.

After making sure everything was done, she put them in the food flask and set everything on the dinning table. Maheer was still not home so she went upstairs to get her phone so she could call him.

Just as she came downstairs trying his number, he walked in. He walked in holding a paper bag.

"Maheer, you are back." she sighed walking toward him .

"Yes, I'm so tired" he said sitting on the sofa.

"Sannu, do you want to freshen up first or eat." she asked. "I want to Freshen up first."he replied.

"Ok" she said and went upstairs to his room and prepared a warm water for him and then called him. He took a long hot bath, performed ablution and then prayed isha before going downstairs to eat.

"This tuwo is so delicious" he commented as he finished the last piece of tuwo on his plate.

"Thank you." she smiled sipping her zobo.

"I almost forgot," Maheer said standing up and walking over to the living room. He came back shortly with the paper bag he came with.

"Here." he passed her the bag and she looked at him and then the bag .

"Open it."

"Okay" she said and opened the box .it was a simple yet beautiful Necklace. Smiling, she turned to look at him.

"I was passing by when I saw it, I thought it would look good on you"he said looking at her.

"Thank you so much" she grinned .

"Should I help you?" he asked and she nod her head. He stood up and walked over to her seat and he helped her with it.

"It looks beautiful, just like you" he commented smiling. She looked down blushing and muttered a thank you.

He pecked her forehead and she just smile looking at the necklace.

"Since you cooked, I will do the dishes" Maheer said packing the plates .

"No..no please don't" she said standing up, trying to stop him.

"You look tired, you should go rest I will do it and beside it's my job not yours," she said trying to take the dishes from his hands.

"Asma, you are my wife not my maid so we can share the household chores amongst us ,there is nothing like this is your job." he said walking into to the kitchen with the dishes.

She looked at his retreating figure. Thank you, Allah SWA for such a wonderful husband, indeed Marrying Maheer is the best decision of her life.

She packed the last few dishes and followed suit. They did the dishes.. well he did the dishes while she kept him company.

After they were done they switched off the lights downstairs and then went up to Maheer's room. He laid down and was just about to sleep when Asma sat up looking at him .

"Ya salam Maheer I totally forgot" she said

"What?" He asked

"Yasmin is coming over tomorrow for a sleepover in Sha Allah" she said.

He just stared at her not knowing what to say. Why would she come over, he thought .
