Chapter 29: Chapter 29

Aasim's POV

"Excuse me please" someone tapped me on the shoulder. I looked up to see the doctor smiling at me. Why is he smiling when my wife is in there only God knows if she'll live or not!

He handed me a paper "congratulations, your wife is three months pregnant". I paused looking at the doctor. "Ar.. Are you serious?" I was shocked and happy at the same time. I shook hands with the Doctor and thanked him.

"Can I see her please?" I asked. "Yes you can" he directed me to the room she's in. She was sleeping peacefully. I moved closer and gently placed my hand on her hair. I kissed her cheeks and quietly went out. I went to a nearby bouquet shop and bought roses for her.

I went back to the hospital. I met Hafsa sitting down on the bed. She hugged her legs. Is she crying? Ya Allah what have I done? "Hafsa" i slowly called her name. She looked up "what are you doing here?" She glared at me. I moved close to her and sat on the bed beside her with the roses and paper in my hand.

"I'm sorry" I murmured. "Forgive me please" I smiled. "I wasn't mad at you at the first place" she sniffed. I hugged her and gave her the rose and paper. "What's this?" She asked. "Just read it" I grinned. She sniffed again unfolding the paper.

"I.. I... I'm pregnant" she burst into tears. I hugged her tight "I'm sorry Hafsa" I whispered. "Aasim I forgive you. Just don't do it again please" she said crying. "Insha Allah I won't do it again" I hugged her even tighter. "What do you want to eat now?" I asked breaking the hug. "Chips and scrambled eggs" she grinned. "Done I'll be back with it"

"Salamu alaykum" the door opened and mama came in "baby are you alright?" Mama hugged her. "Yes mama I'm fine" she replied. Ammi came in too. "My dear how are you feeling?" Ammi asked. "Ammi I'm fine alhamdulillah". "She's pregnant" I broke the good news. Ammi and mama hugged her. I quietly left them and went home.

I fried chips and egg for her with tea. I arranged everything in a basket and went back to the hospital. I met only mama and Hafsa. "Where's Ammi?" I asked. I was kinda disappointed. Why will she leave? "She said she left visitors at home" mama Answered. "Okay" I murmured.

Mama stayed a bit before she left. I went to the mosque and prayed zuhr. I went back into the hospital. I sat down beside Hafsa "how are you feeling now?" I asked holding her hand. She placed her head on my shoulder "I feel happy" she replied looking at the blank space.

"Hey where's Chu Chu?" She raised her head up and looked at me. "With Abdul" I replied. I wrapped my arm around her shoulder. "Tell me" she started. "Tell you what?" I questioned "Why were you avoiding me?"

I sighed "inna jummai went to baba about Maimuna and I. She told him I liked Maimuna and I want to marry her. Baba called and asked if its true. I told him I wasn't interested in getting married again. That's when the fight started between me and inna jummai.

I was really furious. That Time I just felt like not talk to anybody. I was really angry and anything can happen if I'm angry" I finished talking and looked at her. "Just thank god inna jummai is not baba's Elder sister. She would've forced him to make me marry Maimuna" I added.

She didn't say anything. She just laid her head on my shoulder. I placed my head on hers. We were both engrossed in our thoughts. It just felt right. "I'm hungry" she broke the silence "but you just finished eating" I said laughing.

She pouted "I want ice cream cake" she looked cute. "Don't worry, you'll be discharged in few hours" I kissed her lips. "I can't wait for that long" she whined. I rolled my eyes. Now that she's pregnant, I know I'm so dead. All the night cravings, The mood swings, the vomitting, the yelling and insults. I'm really dead!

The worst part is when she wakes up in the middle of the night I have to wake up too. I won't go back to sleep till she's asleep. And I dare not complain if not she'll start crying saying I don't love her anymore.

"Did you even hear what I said?" She snapped her fingers in front of my face. "Hmmm, yes" I lied. "Then what did I say?" She smirked. I scratched the back of my head "I.. Uhmm.." I really didn't know what she said. "Uhuh! Just what I thought" she rolled her eyes.

I pulled her close, making her to sit on my laps. I joined our foreheads together "I love you" I whispered into her ear. "I love you more" she whispered back. A smile plastered on her lips. I bit my lip looking at Hers. She leaned in and pressed her lips on mine. Her kisses were slow and gentle. I suck on her soft lower lip. My hands wandering around her body. I moved to her neck. Her fingers running through my hair while moan in pleasure. I traced kisses back to her lips.

"Salamu alaykum". We quickly parted as we heard someone coming in. "I am so so sorry I ruined the moment. Forgive me please". Ruqayyah really knows how to kill the moment. "It's okay, please come in" Hafsa smiled warmly. Ruqayyah and nafeesah came in with basket of food. That's when I remembered I haven't eaten anything today.

"Aunty Hafsa how are you feeling now?" Nafeesah asked grinning "Ammi told us the great news" she added. "I'm gonna be an aunt, again!" Ruqayyah squealed. I ate to my satisfaction before I stood up to leave "I'll be back in an hour. Take care of my wife please" I glared at the girls "don't disturb her too much" I added "especially you nafeesah" I knocked her head. "Ouch! Yaya that hurts" she whined. "I know" I grinned. I kissed Hafsa's cheek before Leaving.

Hafsa's POV

"Aunty Hafsa do you know that ya ruqayyah is engaged?". I paused and looked at ruqayyah who was glaring at nafeesah. I kept the plate of pounded yam aside. I placed my arms on my chest "really? Rukky why didn't you tell me?" I asked. "Well I thought ya Aasim told you" she shrugged. "He didn't but congrats tho" I continued eating.

We chatted about different things, like ruqayyah's wedding and whatnot. Aasim came back before I got discharged. Finally, I can go home. I really hate hospitals. We went home. I took a shower and prayed isha. I laid down because I was having a massive headache.

"Mummy!!!" Ayman came in running. I sighed and sat up right. "Chu Chu" I scooped him up. "Where's daddy?" I asked. "I don't" he said. I chuckled "it's I don't know not I don't" I corrected him. I went to the screening room where aasim told me he'd be. He was playing Fifa 17.

"Hey beautiful" he said not even looking at me. I sat close to him "aren't you tired of playing this game? You've been playing for almost two hours now" I said hugging his torso. "You body is so warm" I hugged him tighter.

"Just give me ooonnnee" he paused "second" he finished his sentence. I rolled my eyes and left the screening room with my chewing gum tailing behind. I wonder how he'd react if he starts going to school. I made nachos and cheese. I sat down on a stool while ayman was on the kitchen island. He kept blabbering only God knows what.

"Chu Chu would you like a baby brother or sister?" I asked but he shook his head simultaneously "no no no" he kept repeating no. Ya Allah, "why? Don't you want to have a buddy to play with?" He shook his head again. I sighed "well it's too late for that" I murmured. "Hey" Aasim came in "hey" I replied keeping the bowl i used to eat nachos in the sink. "You son doesn't want a sibling". He sighed "he's just two and a half, he doesn't know what he's doing"

"Oh really! Chu Chu do you want a baby brother or sister?" I asked again. My hands on my chest. "No, I don't" he shook his head. "Why?" Aasim asked. "How do you expect him to answer?" I rolled my eyes. "He can barely talk" I added. "You know ayman should be going to Islamic school before he starts going to school" I said popping grape in my mouth. I just can't stop eating.

"Yeah great idea, I'll talk to Ammi about it. Maybe she'll help us look for a school for him" he said. I was doing the dishes when I felt strong arms wrapped around my waist "Let's go to bed please" he kissed my neck "I need you" he whispered sending chills down my spine. I controlled myself "not now aasim, your son is watching" I pushed him away.

"You pushed me away Ko" he said feigning hurt. "You'll come looking for me later" he snapped his fingers and stride out of the kitchen with ayman tailing behind him. I finished with the dishes and grabbed a bucket of maltesers with ice cream and bag of chips. I strolled upstairs with maltesers in one hand and a bowl of ice cream in the other one. I was holding the bag of chips with my mouth.

"Looks like the elephant just got released out of its cage" he murmured laughing, looking at his phone. I kept everything on the side drawer and placed my hands on my chest. "Repeat what you said" I furrowed my brows. This guy just called me an elephant. "I didn't say anything" he looked like he was about to burst out laughing.

"You called me an elephant" I sniffed. I sat down on the edge of the bed and started crying. "No baby I didn't, I'm sorry. Stop crying please" he knelt down in front of me. "No leave me alone!" I yelled. "Was I the one who got myself pregnant!" I yelled again. "No honey I'm sorry" he said and burst out laughing. "You're even laughing at me?" I sobbed. I stood up and left the room.

"C'mon habibaty I'm sorry, I was joking" he was still laughing. I went into my room and locked it. I'll teach him a lesson!
