Chapter 39: Chapter 39

Two months later

"Mrs. Farah, here is the list of our latest product," Precious said politely placing the documents on my desk.

"Thank you, when I'm done I will let you know," I said giving her a smile.

"Okay, Ma." She bowed a little and left.

These past two months had been a blessing to me and I must say Alhamdulillah. I've been moved from the secretary position, I'm now the team leader of the department. I received a lot of love from Jawad and the family. Thinking about Jawad made a smile out of lips, he became a part of my life, I don't think I will be able to endure being apart from him. He's someone I can't leave without.

Leaving my office, I knocked on his office door.

"Come in." I heard his deep voice said. Gosh, that voice.

"Hey wifey, missing me already." He said with a wink the moment he spots me entering his office.

"Yeah, I miss you so so much," I said flatly copying his action. There is no need for being shy, we've become one already.

He left his seat and came towards me leading me to the couch. "How's our little baby doing." He placed his hands on my non-visible stomach. When Jawad came to know about the pregnancy 2 weeks ago, he was beyond happy, he didn't let me lift a single thing saying I will hurt the baby. The family are also happy. Aunt Fatima prayed for the child well being. Myrah also teases me to her heart content. She's in her last stage of giving birth.

"What happened? Are you okay." Jawad asked running his thumb on my cheeks, his face changes to worry.

"Calm down Jawad, I'm fine I'm just thinking about how our lives changed so far." I placed my hands on his, which he's stroking my face with.

"I want you to know that you're very important to me Farah, I'm so thankful to Allah for blessing me with a wife like you." He whispered staring directly into my eyes with so much love. I stared back into his. He's the man I fell in love with, the father of my baby, my first love and the love of my life.

"I love you Jawad," I whispered back, cupping his face I pulled him connecting his lips with mine. The kiss was slow yet it speaks a lot of things, the love we have for each other, and all the things we went through. Placing me on his lap he deepened the kiss cupping my face. We sat at the position for what felt like hours until we finally ran out of breath. He leans his forehead on mine.

"I can't believe my wife has this courage or is it the pregnancy hormones?" He teased.

"What! Can't I say 'I love you' or kiss my husband?" I pouted faking anger.

He let out a chuckle. "That is not the case, I'm always the one that says it every day and kiss you every day so I'm a little surprised."

"Are you testing me, Mr. Jawad." He leaned his face for another kiss, I circled my arms around his neck letting him in.

**

After we are done with the office, we stopped by My house. It's been a while since I visit them.

"Who do we have here today." Mom said with a cheerful smile.

"Assalam Alaikum." We both greeted.

"Wa Alaikum salam, it's so nice to see you again." She answered. "How's work Jawad?" She added.

"Alhamdulillah." He answered.

We sat and chat not realizing we spent almost 2 hours.

"Goodnight drive slowly it's late." Mom said in her motherly tone.

"Insha Allah," Jawad answered. "Yasmin we will continue our talk next time." He said to Yasmin who has been grinning from ear to ear. I wonder what their talk is about.

**

When we came back we changed our work clothes and we are now in bed ready to sleep. I heard Jawad sigh making my eyes snapped  towards him.

"Are you alright?" I asked raising my head from his chest.

"I'm okay." That's my problem with him he always tries to assure himself everything is okay I know when something is on his mind.

"Jawad!"

"Farah it's nothing for you to worry about, I'm okay." He muttered.

"You're not okay Jawad, I know when something is bothering you tell me please," I whispered showing him my puppy face. He inhales a sharp breath. "You know you can't win against me now let it out," I added.

"Okay since you insist I will tell you but don't get mad." He said.

"What!"

"You mean you're leaving me all alone, Jawad you know-" I was now pacing around the room.

This is serious.

"Listen to me Farah, I just told you but I never said I'm going." He tried to calm me down. "I'm thinking of a way so that I won't have to go."

"Wait I think I have an idea, we can go together." his face lit up.

"What do you mean? You know I can't go around in my condition." My brows squinted in confusion.

"We can go together for our second honeymoon and besides its not that your stomach is that big." He said.

Come to think of it, it sounds good.

"Oh so you mean now I'm thin," I said reaching for the pillow next to me.

"Don't worry babe, since tomorrow is Saturday we will go on a date you will eat a lot of food that will make you fat." He pinched the bridge of my nose.

"I don't want to be fat." I pouted.

"Do you want the family to say I don't take care of you well." He answered back. "Come on let's get to bed, we shouldn't make our little baby tired." He added rubbing his thumb on my stomach.

**

"Thank you for being a good wife to me. Words cannot express how happy I am to get a beautiful, caring, and loving wife like you. And I promise I will love you and take care of you till my last breath. I want you to know that whatever the circumstances good or bad I will always be with you"

"You have already said what I wanted to say but I want you to know that I will love you till death do us apart. I will always stay with you.

"Are you ready for the date?" He extends his hands offering me a smile.

"Yes."

And that's how our lives changed for the better filled with love and happiness.

Bonus chapter 1

F A R A H

The true secret of happiness lies in taking a genuine interest in all the details of daily life. I was reading a book about life lessons which I took interest in for some time now, it motivates me. The sound of cries made me snapped out of my reading.

My baby has started her cries again.

Entering the bedroom, I spot Jawad holding her. Seeing him in that position brought a smile to my face.

"Is daddy spoiling our baby Zara again," I said walking towards them. His face changes to that of a frown. He doesn't like it when I say it. Ever since Zara was born, Jawad pampered her so much when I try to talk he shut me out saying its none of my business she's his little princess.

"Shh, my little princess daddy is here." He whispered trying to shush her. She immediately stopped crying.

"I think Zara loves you more than me, if I hold her when she's crying she doesn't keep quiet she always make me suffer first," I said placing a hand on my waist.

"Of course you always shout at her, that is why my little princess loves me more." I resist the urge to roll my eyes at his remark.

"Daddy's little princess it's time to eat your lunch," I said moving my hands to take her from her dad, she turns her face in rejection.

"She doesn't want to come with you." He stated with a grin.

"Okay serve you better, you should feed her," I turn to leave and stopped. "And don't forget to change her diaper." A grin appears on my face. If there is one thing he hates is changing her diaper but do I care, he's the cause of it all.

**

"Assalamu Alaikum how are you doing Myrah," I said the moment she picked the call.

"I'm doing just fine how's Zara?"

"She's with her dad can you believe she refused to let me feed her so I left her with her dad," I said.

The sound of laughter erupts through the phone. "Are you serious?" She asked after the laugh dried down.

"I'm serious Myrah, is that how Fawwaz used to behave when he was still a little baby?" I asked.

"At first he wasn't like that but when he turns 1 he became daddy's boy." She said with a chuckle. "Believe me it's because they pamper them so much." We chat for a while before hanging up.

Night came, Zara decided to sleep after all the tantrums she throws.

"I think you need to stop pampering her too much," I said to Jawad who splatter himself on the bed.

"It's none of your business she's my daughter as well, I have to pamper her as much as I like." He ushered back.

When he noticed me trying to lay down he pulled me towards me, making my hands to land on his chest.

"Should we have a little fun sweetheart." He whispered encircling his hands on my waist. A familiar shiver ran down my spine.

"Stop Jawad, can't you see Zara is sleeping-" he cut me off by locking his lips with mine. My body immediately reacts to his touch. I circled my arms on his neck pulling him in. I felt familiar wetness down my core. His hands reached to my dress zipper, peeling it open. The cool breeze came in contact with my bare shoulder.

"Jawad!" I whispered hoarsely.

"Don't worry I won't do anything, we will just get under the covers." A smile made it way out of my lips. "Goodnight wife I love you." He added.

"Goodnight I love you too."

Bonus Chapter 2

F A R A H

Happiness is when someone loves you unconditionally, someone who takes care of you in any possible way, someone who will do whatever it takes to bring a smile to your face, someone who isn't bothered by your flaws and loves you for who you are. Words could not express how thankful I am for blessing me with a husband like Jawad. I know at first we had a lot of ups and downs but no human being leaves life without having a struggle. Be it marriage problems, family problems, Relationship problems or anything pertaining to life. Alhamdulillah for the gift of life.

A smile made it way out of my lips seeing my husband slouched on the bed with his laptop.

Workaholic

I made my way quietly towards him without him noticing me. I hugged him from behind placing my head on his back.

"Sweetheart you're back already?" he asked, I hummed in return.

"Baby I'm hungry" I started my voice coming out like that of a baby.

"Okay let me finish this up and cook dinner for you" we have now moved to Netherlands as Jawad is taking care of the new branch while Khalid is taking care of the other branch.

"I want it now" I pouted. He let out a sigh.

"You really want me to stop my work right?" he said. I stared at him with my puppy eyes.

"Okay let's go what do you want me to cook for you" he kept his laptop on the side, intertwining our hands, he leads us to the kitchen. My brows cringed in thinking a smirk appearing on my lips.

"I want a homemade pizza," I said tight-lipped. His eyes widened for a split second. pulling me to his body, my hands land on his hard chest feeling his beating heart.

"So my wife wants to suffer me this night right?" he whispered to my ear sending a familiar shiver down my spine.

"I'm really craving for it and it's yours I want"

"Okay your wish is my command, you wait in the living room while I prepare the pizza" I did as I was told. I flipped through the channels while waiting for my husband to finish making my pizza,as my tummy is already crying in hunger.

"And here comes your pizza" Jawad announced, placing a freshly made pizza in front of me. Not wasting anymore time I dig in immediately.

"Ya Allah, this is so delicious thank you so much hubby" I peck him a little, getting a smile in return.

"Eat slowly, no one is going to steal your pizza" Jawad patted my back when I choked on the pizza. I took a sip of my cold drink.

**

After I'm done eating my pizza which didn't take long as I was very hungry, we retired back to the room. I'm glad Jawad didn't get back to his work, if not he wouldn't like what I'll do to him.

"What are you thinking about?" he asked slouching down beside me.

"Nothing," I said not wanting him to know what I planned to do to him when he works late at night next time. I stood up and was about to change into my nighties when my body was being lifted up, finding myself on Jawad's lap.

"Where do you think you're going" he started getting his face closer to mine, leaning his forehead on mine.

"I'm going to change my clothes" his eyes suddenly darkened.

"I think there is no need for that, your husband is going to help you" he reached for my zipper pulling it down. The coolness of the room came in contact with my bare back. He lands a lingering kiss on my neck, pulling the dress more. My eyes close on its own accord, feeling something rise inside me.

"Jawad" I whispered my eyes still closed. He hummed, pecking the other side of my shoulder. I love how my body reacts to his touch. The things he's doing to me, are making my body on fire.

"Ja-" I wasn't able to finish my sentence when I felt his lips on mine. The kiss was slow yet demanding. Snaking my arms around his neck, I parted my lips giving him more access. even with the coolness of the room, my body still feels hot. He kissed me with so much affection, he flipped us over with him on top of me, my dress now long gone, my undergarment being the only thing covering my body I felt the familiar warmth down my core. He stared into my eyes, I saw love and emotion in them.  He held the hem of my vest. "Can I? he asked. At that time I knew what I wanted. Without saying anything, I connect our lips together.

And that night we became one

Bonus chapter 3

Time flew by quickly. Abdallah Enterprise expands more. They have opened two more branches across the country. Mr. Abdallah has nothing to say more than thanking Allah for making him successful and to his sons too who stood on their ground and made it more prominent. Their company is now on the list of top ten shipping companies in the world. Farah also played her part in the success of the company. She is now the managing director.

Work was hectic for Farah, as she came back, she slumped down on the couch feeling the pain in all her muscle. For the past two days, she isn't feeling her normal self. She thought of it as maybe it's due to work stress which is why she didn't go to the hospital. Closing her eyes, she decided to take a small nap.

Aunt Fatima who had been watching her every move knew there is something off with her. Her skin got thicker and fairer and she noticed how her eating increases.

Farah thought of taking a nap but end up taking an actual sleep. She heard her name being called.

"Wake up Farah," the voice said which she knew so well. Her eyelid felt heavy, she feels like sleeping more but with the way that someone is touching her, she has no choice than to wake up.

Opened her eyes slowly, she was met with Jawad's face a few inches from hers.

"I've been waking you up since," he said.

"How long did I sleep" A yawn escape her lips.

"I came back from work finding you here and Aunt Fatima told me you've been sleeping for the past two hours" Her eyes widen in surprise. So she slept for two good hours. "It seems you're very tired today" he added. She was about to stand up when her body went weak. Just in time, Jawad aided her up, feeling the heat radiating from her body.

"Are you okay? your body is hot" Concern laced in his voice. Hearing the silence from her tells him his wife is not okay. Jawad descend upstairs and came back with his car key.

"Let's go to the hospital" Helping her up, he ushered her to wear a jacket as it'll warm her up.

"Aunt we're going to the hospital, Farah is not feeling well" not waiting for her response, he walked pass her towards the entrance door. Aunt Fatima watched their disappearing figure, praying for their safety.

***

Jawad drove to the hospital at a normal speed, holding his wife with one hand and drove with the other.

They arrived at the hospital earlier than she expected. Jawad opened the door for her. She holds him by the arm as they glided inside.

"Good day sir, do you have an appointment," The receptionist said politely.

"I want to meet Doctor Martins and I don't need an appointment" They made their way inside without waiting for the woman to confirm the appointment. They met Doctor Martins which he told them he needs to run some tests of Farah. Jawad waited in the private lobby while Farah went away for a checkup.

"How did it go?" Jawad asked after she finishes the checkup.

"It went well. The doctor said it's all stress"

"Okay wait for me here, let me speak to him" he was about to leave when she stopped him. She knew if he meets the Doctor, her plans will be ruined.

"No need for that, let's just go home. I can't bear to spend another minute here."

"Just-"

"Please Jawad" he let out a sigh.

"Okay let's go" She did a little dance without him noticing as they made their way out.

**

How will she tell him now? After the doctor did some pregnancy test, it came out positive. words could not express how she felt after knowing there is a life growing in her. She placed her palms on the flat stomach thinking of a way to tell him. Suddenly an idea popped up in her head. She took the white paper and set it where Jawad will find it and then descend downstairs where she finds Aunt Fatima cutting fruits while Jawad is watching the TV. A smile made it way out of her lips. Perfect timing.

"Um...Jawad" She started. His head snapped towards her.

"Are you not supposed to be in bed resting?" He said focusing his attention on her.

"I saw a cockroach underneath the bed covers and you know I can't sleep while the cockroach is still in the room. Jawad let out a chuckle at her words.

"Really Farah. You're still afraid of cockroach" She made a puppy face which made his smile widen.

"Okay let me check" He kept the remote control on the side and took off to the room. Her lips twitch up. Her plans worked out. After about five minutes, she heard the shout of Jawad. So he found the result.

"Farah!" Descending down, he immediately embraces her in a bone-crushing hug.

"I can't believe it. Wait tell me, what I saw just now is it true? am I going to be a father?" he bombarded her with questions.

"Yes Jawad, you're going to be a father" Cupping her face he placed a kiss to her forehead. He can't believe it. He's going to become a father, He's going to hold his son or daughter and he/she will call him daddy.

"Alhamdulillah I'm so happy right now, this is the best gift I've ever received in my life" He kissed every part of her face. He was beyond happy. He feels like the happiest man on earth. Finally, they're going to be parents.

"Alhamdulillah,"  a voice said from behind them. Pulling apart a bit, Aunt Fatima was standing a few miles away from them with a smile on her face. She knew something is off with Farah.

"Aunt I'm going to be a father," Jawad said with a sense of enthusiasm.

"Alhamdulillah, we should thank Allah for this gift," She said happiness clearly visible on her face.

"Alhamdulillah," They both said. Aunt left the two. Jawad cupped Farah's face staring into her eyes. "I love you Farah and thank you for this gift" she stared back feeling herself lost in them. This is her husband, her life, the father of her kids.
