"Have heard you" they were still there when Marmie comes down fully dressed for work
"Good morning Hajiya" Talatu greated
"Morning Talatu" Marmie replied
"Good morning Marmie"Tehzeeb greated
"Morning daughter. How was your night?"
"Fine thank you"
"Why are you so early, is something wrong?" Marmie couldn't help but asked
"Nothing Marmie"
"Good. Talatu is the breakfast ready or you're just waking up?"
"No Marmie. Just wake up not long ago but Small Hajiya have prepared the breakfast" Talatu answered which Tehzeeb narrow her eyes at her for calling her that
"Daughter don't tell me that's why you woke up so early?"
"Don't worry Marmie, I didn't woke up that early"
"Okay please don't do that next time. You need all the sleep from exam stress and wedding stress. I want you to rest fully"
"Okay Marmie. Let me serve you" and they both ambled to the dinning table thus Tehzeeb serve Marmie
"Oh God, daughter you did all this alone?" Marmie asked which Tehzeeb just nodded " that means you did not have enough sleep. I think I won't back the idea of you cooking, if you're going to be waking up too early"
"Don't worry Marmie. I promised not to wake up too early"
"Good before your husband will start blaming me. And where is he?" Marmie asked not seeing AA
"His still sleeping"
"Okay" and Marmie ate her breakfast praising Tehzeeb because she enjoyed the breakfast when she finished eating, she thank Tehzeeb and left but not after asking Tehzeeb about her resumption which she lied that AA said till next month it's too early for her to resume now. Tehzeeb went back to there apartment and saw the food she kept on the dinning table was gone which means he has eaten. She walked into the room pick up her Vail and comes out of the room waiting for AA to come out so she could pretend she's going for work. Immediately she saw him she stands up "Good morning" she whispered that if not because the room was silent he couldn't have heard her but still yet he pretended not to hear her which annoyed Tehzeeb. He walked passed her which she followed him. He open the car door and entered which she open the other side and entered too and that's when he speaks up
"And where did you think you're going too?" AA asked which she didn't answer and adjust herself very well inside the car "I think am talking to someone?"
"Oh I thought you're deaf when I greated you earlier on"
"Oh is it what's this about?"
"Yes it is" AA wanted to laugh because of her childish behavior but he refrain himself from doing that
"Fine. You can now go out"
"Am not going out it's either you drop me at Marmie's mall or I follow you to wherever you're going too"
"It's okay by me" and he drove out of the compound his escorts following behind. He went straight to the barrack together with Tehzeeb which she could careless in as much as she's not staying in the house then no problem. They walked into the barrack together and people were staring at them because they look cute together and some guys where busy staring at Tehzeeb which AA noticed and was boiling inside that when he looked at her very well she was wearing A Shape gown which looks perfect on her with her small Vail. Tehzeeb herself was not comfortable she thought if she does this he will let her go to work but no reversed was the case,so here she was uncomfortable because of the piercing gaze. AA noticed that and without warning he used his hand to draw her closer to him placing his hand on her shoulder which she looked at him before taking her eyes off him. They walked inside his office because he will be staying here for some month maybe he will be transferred here he don't know yet.
"Why will you dressed like this and follow me when you know you're not comfortable?" AA asked immediately they were in his office
"And who says am not comfortable?" She pouted "an comfortable with it"
"Oh that why you were looking for something to cover yourself not long ago because of people's gaze or is that what you want? To get people attention on you?" He said because he was totally pissed off seeing how people were looking at her
"Please stop placing the blame on me, I thought if I said am following you out you might drop me off at the mall" Tehzeeb said already in tears because she hate being accused and she don't know why AA always knows the button to get on her nerve. Seeing she's crying he got confused Cox what he hate must is to see someone crying. He wanted to tell her sorry but his ego is to big, seeing she's not going to stop crying any moment from now he open his mouth "sorry for shouting on you" he said silently which Tehzeeb heard but was not ready to let him go Scot free for accusing her so she cried more,which AA was confused on what to do "am sorry, and promised not to shout on you again. So please stop crying already, I get confused when I see tears and can't concentrate on my work" AA said defeatedly. Tehzeeb being satisfied she wipe her tears. After one hour of staying in the same place she speaks
"I want to go back home" she said
"Home?" He repeated which she nodded "can't you see am working,and can't you talk must you always act like you're deaf" AA said which Tehzeeb get up abruptly ready to leave the office but before she could he was already in her front "and where did you think you're going like this? So that the guys outside will start looking at you or follow you right?"
"What's wrong with that, atleast after our divorce I can see someone to marry me" she answered nonchalantly
"In your wildest dreams. Who even gave you the idea that I will be divorcing you. Young lady get ready to stay by my side forever. I have no divorce in my dictionary. You want to go home right? We're going together. I won't allow even my driver to drop you that he will be stealing glances look at you" AA blabbered which Tehzeeb was surprised she never thought he could talk this much she was lost in her thoughts when AA brought her back to reality "I know am handsome let's get going unless you want to stay here" which she immediately walked out because she was embarrassed that AA caught her staring at him.
They arrived at home and Tehzeeb quickly entered there part because she's still embarrassed about what happened earlier which bought smile on AA face before he follow suit deciding not to go back to office again till tomorrow. He entered the parlour but he didn't see her there so he walked inside and saw her on the bed "come out let's talk" he said about to leave
"Can't it wait. I'm tired right now and feeling sleepy" Tehzeeb pretended to be sleepy to avoid him
"I know you're not. I won't take much of your time I promised" reluctantly she get up and follow him to the parlor and they both sat down facing each other
"Well I know you will be surprised why I called you here. But you don't have to be. I want us to get to know more about each other. I know we did not start on good basis,nor do we have feelings for each other. Am not forcing you into this because of anything. No, am doing this so we could know where we're heading too, arguing all the time and bickering like kids won't take us any where. Atleast let's start from somewhere which will better and we should know more about each other that way things will be easier and we won't get on each other's neck" AA said which Tehzeeb just stare at him before talking
"Okay" she said
"Seriously just okay?" AA asked in disbelief
"What else should I said?" She shrugged
"You can forget about what I said" AA said and was about to leave
"Sorry, have heard you and I will see where this takes us. But I hope we will take it gradually and not rush things"
"It's okay" and they both left the parlour.
After there little discussion things begins to changed because they take there time to understand and know more about one another keeping there difference aside. Tehzeeb wanted to resume work but AA is not allowing her, so she decided to asked him again. She don't call his name because she don't know how to address him yet "what about our discussion" Tehzeeb said out of blue
"I thought we have talked about that on several occasions"
"But you have not given me any reason"
"Well, the reason is that I can't be at the office and my mind will be at another place, thinking of the possible scenario because of the guys that will be looking you up and down. I can't take that"
"For Godsake you don't even love me to be jealous of me" Tehzeeb said angrily
"And what if I said I do. Moreover I don't think even if I don't love you that should give you the guarantee to go out and guys should be starng at you"
"Am sick and tired of all this excuses always" she was about to walk out on him which he stand up and block her path which he was not wearing anything. He was only in his small short, Tehzeeb pushed him on his chest so she could pass
"Am going to push you back because I won't take that"
"Fine push back and let me pass"
"Not yet, you have to take off your clothes since am not wearing anything before you push me and I will push you in the exact place you pushed me which is your chest" Tehzeeb gasped out loudly seeing he don't have any shame talking the way he likes "what? are you surprised?" He asked "don't be because you're my wife now off your clothes or I help you" AA said taking a step at a time which Tehzeeb was moving backward she fall down on the chair closed to her and AA was about to touch her when his phone rings and he turned to pick the call Tehzeeb sighed out glad his phone rang. She hurriedly run to the room and locked the door inside so he won't be able to come in
