Being The Sheikh's Queen

CHAPTER THIRTY-EIGHT

Farzana looked out the window,a smile on her lips as she gazed at the white clouds.She sighed as she laid her head back,her smile still present on her lips.She felt Ridwaan's hand touch her own,causing her to look at the man who smiled at her.

"I can see the happiness filling your face.You must be excited to be going back to South Africa."

Farzana nodded her head as she twisted her hand so that their fingers enterwined,"Hmm,I am excited to be going back to SA but it's a bitter-sweet feeling,you know.On one side,I'm elated that I am going back but on the other I miss Ahmed,Ayesha and Hafsa already and I want them to be with me."

Ridwaan raised her hand to his lips,placing a kiss on the back of her hand,"In Sha Allah,the next time we come we will bring them with us."

Farzana felt her face heat up,as she gazed around to make sure that none of their staff happened to be within seeing distance,"Ameen.Don't do things like this."

Ridwaan smirked as he raised her hand to his lips again,placing another kiss on the back of her hand,"Like this?"

Farzana rolled her eyes as she pulled her hand from his or attempted to as he did not let go,"You are so bad and mean to me." She grumbled,her bottom lip jutting out in a small pout as she gazed out the window.

"We are married for the hundredth and something time,plus our staff adores us so they don't mind."

"I know." She knew from the countless times their staff would smile at them when they were talking or they were joking around.She often heard the compliments as they would speak but Farzana was still uncomfortable with the attention as it made her feel as if they were being judged.She had been trying to work herself out of that thought but it would take time.

"We are going to land soon.What is the first thing you want to do?" Ridwaan asked Farzana who smiled at him.

"Well,I just want to order pizza from my favourite place." She said with a smile and Ridwaan jokingly poked her side.

"Oh the foodie inside of you is making an appearance."

Farzana nodded her head,"Mhmm,I can't wait to have you try the pizza and the bunny chow when we go to Durban and an AK47."

Ridwaan raised an eyebrow,"You want me to taste a gun?"

Farzana chuckled as she shook her head,"La,Ridwaan.An AK47 is a food dish.You'll have to see it to understand why it's called an AK47.It's so good and the best place to buy it from is these small shops.That's why I told you to book us one week in my home town so that I can just visit these places."

Ridwaan's smile grew as he watched her eye sparkle as she spoke,her hand that was free moving in gestures and her lips tilting in the most beautiful smile in the world.He felt proud of himself for doing something caused her immense happiness.Her smile caused flutters to grow within his stomach as her hand around his hand seemed to grow warmer,giving him a feeling of comfort.

Soon their staff came to tell them that within an hour they would be landing at the O.R. Thambo International airport so they had to start getting ready.Farzana and he walked to the different rooms in the plane with their respective staff.

Farzana removed her scarf once the door was closed,she smiled at Imani who handed her the clothing bag.She walked into the attached bathroom,she shed her sweatpants and hoodie.She put on the cream pants followed by a white mid sleeve top which she tucked into her pants.She folded her clothing and walked out of the room with the folded clothing and clothing bag.She handed the bag to Imani who took it from her before putting her clothes into the bag on the bed.She sat down to do her makeup which she kept simple and Zaahida helped her wear her scarf.She slid her feet into the pair of heels that were on the floor.
