AA get up and pray before he went closed to Tehzeeb and wake her up "honey get up" he said but Tehzeeb just groan and readjusted on the bed "baby stand up, you need to bath and pray, the time is going"

"Please let me be. Am tired, just some minutes and I promised to get up"

"Am sorry baby" and he picked her up straight to the bathroom he did not drop her anywhere but the bathtub were he set hot water and a pinch of salt. Immediately Tehzeeb body get in contact with the water she screamed which AA did not allow her to go out of the water

"Are you trying to kill me, this water is too hot" she shouted at him which he just smile because his getting used to her screams and shout already

"It's good for you. If you go out now it's will be difficult for you to walk and I don't want people to know what happened unless you want that" AA said which Tehzeeb keep mute

"Then go out I can bath myself"

"If you promise to change the water two times"

"Fine,have heard you. Go please" AA smiled and left smiling because he don't know what she's shy of when he has seen everything already but he find it cute to see her shy of him. Tehzeeb change the water two times as she promised Cox she knows she needs it too just that she don't want to admit it. She finished bathing and perform ablution before she tries to walk out but the pain she felt make her to scream which AA fling open the door immediately "what happened? Did you fall down?" AA asked panicked which Tehzeeb didn't say anything"talk to me baby" he said worriedly

"Is it not you that caused it, now I cannot walk and I won't be able to prepare breakfast for Marmie" and she started crying which AA sighed he don't know what he has gotten himself into today

"Am sorry let me help you out" he said about to touch her

"Don't touch me" she said in-between tears and begins to walk but just two step and she screamed again without waiting for her AA picked her up and take her to the bed after he has changed the bedsheet.

"Let me get you your hijab, so you can pray and continue sleeping" AA said and did just that which she prayed

"What will Marmie think now, I don't even know how to face her" Tehzeeb whined which made AA to chuckled "oh you're even laughing, no problem"

"Am sorry I was not laughing at you. Don't worry. I will know what to tell Marmie"

"And what is it that you will te her?" She asked looking at him hoping it's not what she's thinking which AA laughed again

"Calm down madam. You don't expect me to tell her what happened right or should i?" He said teasingly which Tehzeeb pouted and lay on the bed because of the body pain she's feeling

Marmie wakes up and dressed up for work, but when she comes out and was told Tehzeeb was no where in sight she smiled and said Alhamdulillah inside,hoping it was what she's thinking and she will be the most happiest mother on Earth. She decided not to go to work again and entered the kitchen to prepare pepper soup for her daughter since she knows she will need it "Talatu help and arrange the ingredients for fish pepper soup please"

"Hajiya are you going to the kitchen yourself?" Talatu asked

"Yes. Any problem?"

"No Hajiya, but you should let me do it for you if that's what you're carving"

"Don't worry thank you. Just do as I said" which Talatu left to do what she was asked to. Marmie quickly begin her work and with no time she was through which she arranged everything in the basket and asked Talatu to take it to there part "just knock on the door and leave it there. Son will come out and pick it himself" Marmie said to Talatu before she left the kitchen. Talatu did as she was told

They both slept off and it's was AA that was the first to wake up when he checked the time it was already 12pm which he went and bath,he was wearing his clothes when he heard the knock thus he walked to the door and saw the basket but he saw Talatu's retreating figure which means Marmie send her, he smiled and went back inside then he saw Tehzeeb on the bed with tears which he quickly go close to her "what happened and why are you crying?" He asked

"I can't stand up and it's your fault" Tehzeeb said

"Don't worry, when you have another seat bath with hot water you will feel good" AA said reassuringly

"Do you want to burn me or what?" Tehzeeb said which made AA to smile because of her childish behavior

"It's either you have a seat bath so Babe won't noticed or do you want her to know what happened" he said which Tehzeeb quickly shake her head

"No i will have the seat bath. I can't face her again if she knows"

"Good then. After that you can come and eat your breakfast before taking some medication"

"What will Marmie eat now?" Tehzeeb asked worriedly

"Don't worry, she have eaten and even send some for us"

"Are you serious?" Tehzeeb asked

"Yeah. Enough with the talking let's get you inside the hot water" and he picked her up which Tehzeeb did not struggle Cox she has no strength for that now. AA dropped her and left the toilet before Tehzeeb did her business and come out of the toilet walking gradually because she feels more better than before. She wore her cloth before AA come in with the tray of food. Immediately the aroma hit her nostril her stomach make some noise which she felt embarrassed" don't worry, it's high time for your stomach to complain it's almost 1 now. So seat and eat or should I feed you?"

"No" she said quickly before she devoured her food. She didn't know she was this hungry untill she finished one plate of the pepper soup with tea

"I can see you're a good at eating" AA teased but Tehzeeb didn't say anything. She get up to carry the tray but he stopped her collecting the tray from her. Tehzeeb wanted to check on Marmie but was shy to face her because of how she's walking. "Let me go and check on Babe" AA said standing up

"Wait let me go with you"

"Are you sure you can go?" AA asked because of how she's walking

"Don't worry I can manage" and they both ambled out to Marmie's part

Marmie was seating in the parlour watching film when they entered which she look at them before a genuine smile appears on her face which Tehzeeb was trying her possible best to walk very well."daughter since in the morning have not see you" Marmie said which Tehzeeb was about to squat and great her but she quickly hold her." Seat down, don't stress yourself" which Tehzeeb was praying for the ground to open so she could enter inside

"Babe you didn't even acknowledge my presence" AA complain

"Oh please let me be, can't you see am talking to my daughter and don't call me babe again" Marmie said smiling at Tehzeeb which AA coughed

"Since am not welcome let me start going back to where am coming from"

"That will be good" Marmie answers which AA sat down "daughter come let's go to my room" Marmie said getting up

"Are you both leaving me here?" AA asked

"Before what did you expect. Stand up my dear let's go" and Marmie help Tehzeeb to stand up who in return was too shy of her. They walked to her room before she entered inside her toilet and put the necessary things needed before she comes out "daughter go in there and help your self, you need it. Don't be shy okay, take me as Umma" Marmie said "I will wait for you at the parlour, when you come out the things you need will be on my bed" thus Marmie walked out, she can't believe her dream will soon come to past. Immediately she reach parlour she saw AA still there "Son please be careful with daughter. Don't come and injured her" Marmie said which AA scratch his head because of what Marmie said he never thought he will be this shy of her till today. They talked for a while before Tehzeeb come out walking better than before. They spend there day with Marmie before going back to there part

Things where going perfectly between AA and Tehzeeb but Tehzeeb was getting tired of seating at home day by day, she never thought it's will be this difficult to be a house wife. Now she knows all those house wife are trying. AA comes back later in the day very tired but immediately he set his foot in there part he forgets about how tired he was because of his wife. "Welcome back" Tehzeeb said getting up to help him with his briefcase which in return he draw her closer to him and inhale her scent which his in love with "God you need to bath and eat stop it" Tehzeeb said trying to get away from him

"Let wait like this for a little bit. I love the scent of your body, it's so intoxicating" AA said not leaving her and before she knows he picked her up and went straight to there room and drop her on the bed Tehzeeb seeing his getting out of hand speaks up

"Please stop it" she said

"Don't stop me pleased. I need you, don't do this to me it's been weeks and you're still tellling me you have not healed"

"Give me extra week. The pain is still raw" she said weakly, she wanted to let him but she's scared

"Then let me just play with you that's all"

"No. Get up so you will bath and eat. It's getting late" Tehzeeb said trying to divert his attention. AA sighed and let her be before he walks into the toilet, bath before going to the dinning table. He ate and both of them were seating in the parlour

"Come baby" AA said which Tehzeeb shake her head no"I promised not to do anything. I just want you to be close to me" he said which she went to seat beside him but he quickly draw her to his lap

"You promised not to do anything" Tehzeeb pouted

"Just seat like this that all I asked for"

"Fine"

"So gist me"

"About"

"Anything" AA said playing with her hands

"I don't know what to talk about"

"Okay let's talk about us, about our lives, and about our sex life"

"Oh please don't go there"

"What? Is it a crime for a husband to talk about there sex life with his wife? No it's not. It's even good for spouses to talk about there sex life to know where each of them is lacking. You know that's one of the major problem that bring issues in many matrimonial home, because they think it's not necessary for them to talk about it which is bad. We need to open up to one another to know our lapses"

"I know but not today"

"Okay fine. I have something to tell you"AA said

"What's that?" Asked Tehzeeb

"Don't be too surprised"

"Okay I won't"

"Did you know I fell in love with you the first day I set my eyes on you, even though it was late at night that I saw you, but still yet I felt connected to you" AA said

"How is that even possible. I can recall the first day we met was when I lost my father" Tehzeeb said recalling her father's death

"Hey hey, not now don't spoil the fun" AA said and peck her on the neck which she smiled

"Stop,have you forgotten. No touching"Tehzeeb reminds him

"Okay fine. But that was not the first day I met you"

"If it's not the first day, then when was the first day?" Tehzeeb asked looking at him

"Did you recall the day you were rushed to the hospital together with Gogo and her daughter?" He asked

"Yes I could recall, the taxi driver didn't collect his money" Tehzeeb said and like a striking lighting bulb she gasp "you don't mean it, tell me it's a lie"

"Yes I was the one who picked you up and brought you to the hospital" AA said which Tehzeeb mouth was hang open looking at him in disbelief
