Chapter 35: Chapter 35

It's been two weeks now since we got back from our vacation. The kids have resumed in school. Aasim is at work. I'm so damn alone in this huge house. And bored. I can't wait for my babies to come back from school. They can be annoying and a pain in the butt sometimes but I enjoy their company.

The doorbell interrupted my little thought. I rose to my feet to check who it is. "Rukky!" I squealed hugging her tight. "Aunty hafsa" she giggled breaking the hug. She came with her two year old daughter, sohana but her real name is fateema. "Hey baby girl" I scooped her up. She's so cute.

We went into the house. "Wallahi rukky you have no idea how bored I was. You saved my life" I sighed in relief. "Well don't be cause nafeesah is on her way" she chuckled. "Oh my god" I squealed. I have a feeling today is going to be a great day.

"So how is everything? How have you been doing?" I asked. She looked sad like she wasn't enjoying her marriage. "Oh I've been doing great" she smiled sadly. "It's just that.." She trailed off. I knew something was wrong. "I had a miscarriage" she blurted out.

"Please Hun don't be sad" I hugged her "Allah knows what's best for us. Maybe this is for the best, rukky please stop crying" I patted her back. I stood up and got tissue for her. "Thank you" she smiled wiping her tears. Rukky is the type of girl who loves children a lot.

I stood up to open the door upon hearing the doorbell. I know it's nafeesah. "Aunty hafsa" she hugged me "naf naf" I hugged her back. "What's she crying about?" Nafeesah smirked. "Uhmm what would you guys like to eat?" I asked trying to change the topic. "How about we bake" ruqayyah suggested. "Yes let's bake" nafeesah squealed. I rolled my eyes by the way she was acting.

We went to the kitchen and started baking. We baked cupcakes, muffins and brownies. I went to pick up my babies at school and went back home. I gave the twins a bath and got them ready for islamiya (Islamic school). They ate lunch and rested for abit before I took them to islamiya.

They helped me cook for Aasim before leaving. I went to pick the kids up from school and went back home. I took my bath and got dressed in a red gown made by m_and_aclothing. I tied a golden scarf around my head.

I walked down the stairs. Aasim was with the kids. He looked tired. "Welcome home Hun" I hugged him. "You look beautiful, as always" he broke the hug. I blushed "thank you". I looked at the kids "why don't you go to your rooms, I'll be there in a sec". They left without saying anything. "Go and take a shower before you eat" I said hugging his torso.

"I'll be back in twenty minutes" he pecked my lips before leaving. I went upstairs to the kids with room with a plate of cookies. Ayman was helping the twins with their homework. How cute. "Who wants cookies?" I asked placing the plate on the table. "Me!" They yelled.

I sat on one of the chairs looking at them in adoration. They're just so cute. I love my babies more than anything. They finished their homework. "Hey what are my favorite people in the world doing?" Aasim opened the door. He wore his shirt. He was dressed in a black jeans and shirt.

"Why are you dressed in black?" I asked looking at him from head to toe. He grinned "I don't know". I rolled my eyes. "Let's go and eat". I rose to my feet. I closed the door behind me.

"How about we go out for dinner tomorrow night?" He suggested as we walked down the stairs together. "What about the kids?" I questioned sitting on the chair close to him. "Nafeesah will come and babysit them" he shrugged.

"Lemme feed you". I fed him spoonful of rice and stew. "Give me the spoon lemme feed you too" I handed over the spoon to him. We finished eating and went upstairs. I checked on the kids. The twins were already asleep. I changed their clothes and put them on their beds. I kissed them good night and reduced the air conditioner before switching off the lights and leaving.

"Turn off that iPad and go to bed" I said to ayman when I went into his room. He groaned and kept the iPad aside. "You can go now" he replied. I chuckled and closed the door. I know he wasn't going to sleep now. After some few minutes I opened the door "give me the iPad" I said in a harsh tone.

"C'mon mummy" he whined. "Don't mummy me" I said and left the room with the iPad. "What are you doing with Ayman's iPad?" Aasim asked eating maltesers. I opened my side drawer and kept it before closing it "I seized it" I said sternly. "Why?" He asked keeping the bucket maltesers aside.

I sighed and went into my closet to remove my dress. I wore a large shirt with shorts and cleaned the makeup on my face. I tied my hair in a messy bun.

"Hand me the bucket please" I said stretching my hand waiting for him to give it to me. "No, go get yours" he smirked. I rolled my eyes groaning. "You're annoying". He laughed "I love you too"

I picked my phone up and logged into Twitter. "Open your mouth" he put one ball of maltesers in my mouth. I kept scrolling through my tweets while he fed me with maltesers.

The next thing I felt was his lips. I kissed him back before he moved back. A smile plastered on his lips "I've been talking to you but you weren't replying". I smiled back "I'm sorry. Now I'm done" I kept the phone. He pulled me close to him "Come here"

"Please naf naf make sure they brush their teeth before going to bed and make sure they pray before sleeping" I really don't see the reason why we're going to a restaurant and eat while we can do that here at home. "Don't worry Aunty I'll take good care of them" she smiled. "Let's get going" he wrapped his arm around my waist.

We arrived at a place where I definitely know it's not a restaurant. "Come out". I quietly open the door and alighted out from the car. "Wow" was the only thing I could say. I looked around the beautiful well decorated garden. "Let's sit" he clasped our hands together.

A waitress from nowhere came and took our orders before leaving. "Where do you think we should travel to when the kids are on vacation again?" He asked scrolling through his phone. "Nowhere please. Let's stay home" I answered. He didn't say anything again.

We talked about different things like when we first got married. And how I reacted before I met him. We talked about his childhood. There was a time when he cut the breaks of his friend's bicycle all because of a girl. The boy fell into a gutter. And when he put salt in their neighbors generator.

"Oh my god you were really naughty back then" I laughed wiping my fake tears. "You are still naughty" I added. "The good part is you love me" he grinned. "No I don't" I rolled my eyes. "You're a good liar" he chuckled.

We finished eating and left the garden. We arrived home in no time. The house was quiet. I checked on the kids before going to my bedroom. I went into the bathroom and performed ablution. I prayed isha'i before taking a warm bath.

I went through his shirts in my closet and wore one of them. I sprayed some perfume and tied my hair in a ponytail. I walked slowly into his room.

He was lying down on his king sized bed using his phone. He smiled and gestured me to come sit on his laps which I gladly did. "So, what are we going to do right now?" I asked faking innocence. "You'll see" he turned off the side lamp.

"Mummy tell humayrah to give me back my sunglasses" humaydah whined jumping up and down. "It's not yours" humayrah mocked. I removed my sunglasses "humayrah that's not your sunglasses. Go get yours now".

It was a sunny and hot Saturday so Aasim decided we swim. I sipped my chapman looking at ayman and the twins swimming. I was on the hammock beside Aasim.

"Daddy let's go get ice cream please" humayrah said in her cute angelic voice. "Sure thing honey. Let's go" he stood up and wore his tank top. He left with the kids while I relaxed before they get back.

I decided to call Layla on FaceTime. "Hey lil sis what's up?" I waved through the tiny screen. "Uuuww big sis you're looking HOT!!" She squealed. "Thank you hermana (sister)" I snapped my finger, feeling myself.

She rolled her eyes "stop feeling yourself. You're not that hot". I laughed "you know you're lying". She smirked. "Where's the kids?" She asked. "Out to get ice cream with their father" I shrugged.

We chatted for a bit before saying goodbye. They came back with everyone holding ice cream except humayrah. She finished taking her own before they came back. "Humayrah baby come let's share mine" I said placing her on my naked thigh. "No mummy" humaydah whined. "Not fair" Ayman grumbled.

"What? She's your little sister you know" I said to them. "I'm really tired. I'm going in to take a nap" Aasim went in. "Me too" Ayman followed him. "Me three" followed by humaydah then humayrah.

I chuckled looking at them. I love them all so much. They're my everything. I laid back down on the hammock just to have some me time before I joined.

I started having flashbacks of when I was first married to Aasim before meeting him. When I was first told I was getting married, I was downcasted and incensed for some reasons. I thought my life will be a mess or shattered into pieces. At first I was afraid of arranged marriage. But look at how it turned out to be.

I know a lot of arranged marriage don't go well but mine went pretty well....
