Hey guys, hope you are all well Inshaa Allah. This week has been really tough for me for various reasons: I'm still getting over a chest infection so talking is really hard for me, I had a few mock exams and I've been super busy with preparations for the holidays. I know that I usually update more than once a week but from now on my updates are going to have to be on a Wednesday. The reason being is that my brother isn't at home on Wednesdays so I can use his laptop freely and without permission, LOL. BTW, sometimes I do struggle coming up with ideas on how to continue the story so guys please do leave suggestions in the comments or PM me. I am not able to PM more than 10 people a day so I'm sorry in advance to the people I haven't PMed.
Enjoy Part 7!đ
The beams of sunlight hit Aaliya's face and woke her from her peaceful slumber. She lazily stretched her limbs and looked up from her pillow. She found her husband's arms wrapped protectively around her. Instantly, a smile adorned her lips. Her cheeks coloured at the state they were both in and what they got up to the previous night. Quickly glancing at the clock she realised that she had to shower before her doctor's appointment. She carefully untangled herself from Zain's warm embrace and tiptoed towards the bathroom.
*Zain's POV*
As soon as she left, I felt cold and empty. It's like when she leaves, my happiness goes with her. It sounds so pathetic, she only went to have a shower but it's something that I can't explain. I don't fully understand it myself.
As she was having a shower I took it upon myself to clear up the room. There was clothes strewn all over the floor; it was a mess. I neatly folded some and put them in the cupboard and then put the rest in the laundry basket. I then waited patiently for Aaliya to come out of the bathroom.
When she came out her hair was wet and messy but her skin was radiant and angelic. I preferred her that way, her natural beauty showing with no makeup. The hairs that were dancing in front of her eyes tempted me to move them, so I could get a better look at her beautiful face.
She was too busy putting on her bangles and necklace set when I started to approach her. From the back I noticed that her dori of her churidar was open. Her back was on show and her milky white skin made me crazy with desire. I walked closer and closer. She was looking in the mirror so I took the opportunity to tie her dori but before doing so I ran my fingers along her bare, creamy skin.
She closed her eyes at my touch. Her breaths deepened. She opened her eyes to look at me through the mirror.
"Z...Zain ... We're ...", she stuttered.
"We're?" I smirked.
"We're going to b... be late. F...For the doctor's," she managed to draw out.
My smirk vanished and I could hear her giggling as she ran out of the room. What a minx!
*Aaliya's POV*
When I came downstairs I saw that Maami and Shazia Bhabi had already made breakfast and were sat waiting for me and Zain.
"Maami, you should have called me. I could have helped," I said to her.
"No beta, you need your rest. And besides me and Shazia can handle all this," Maami told me.
After breakfast, me and Zain left for the doctor's. We sat quietly in the waiting room. We were both equally as impatient to see our baby.
"Mr and Mrs.Abdullah. Please come through," the nurse said as she led us to the doctor's room.
"Mrs.Abdullah could you please lie down on the bed here. Now please lift up your churidar whilst I rub this gel on your stomach," she told me carefully.
I did as I was told, eager to see our angel.
"Doctor, it won't hurt will it?" Zain asked.
"No, not at all. It's just a bit cold, that's all," the nurse assured us.
She put on the gel and I shivered due to how cold it was. She then placed a small wand over my belly. She then looked up at the screen and we could see a small round little figure.
"From what I can see, it looks like you are around 9-10 weeks Mrs.Abdullah. Does that seem right?" she asked.
"I found out quite late. I didn't even know I was pregnant until a couple of weeks ago. But yeah, it seems right," I confirmed.
"Mrs.Abdullah, there looks like there is absolutely nothing to worry about. The baby is perfectly healthy, from what I can see. I'll just leave you two alone for a minute," she said sensitively.
It took me a while to process that the little thing on the screen was our baby, our angel. It was growing, inside me. The thought brought tears to my eyes.
"Beautiful, isn't it Malika-E-Zain?" Zain asked whilst he wiped away my tears.
"Yeah, it really is," I smiled, breathing a long sigh of relief.
I fell asleep in the car on the way home. I was so tired coming back that my body just needed some rest. I remember waking up shaking and sweating.
*Zain's POV*
I turned to see Aaliya tossing and turning in her sleep. Poor thing looked so uncomfortable, like she was having a bad dream. I could hear her muttering angrily but I couldn't make out what she was saying.
"No Zain, you can't ... You can't do this. You're ... You're my husband. This marriage is the last thing I had of Mamu. You can't end it. Don't listen to M ... Maami. She told you to do this right? It's all her fault," she mumbled, sometimes angry and sometimes confused.
She woke up sweating and looking at her surroundings.
"It's okay Aaliya, you're safe. It was just a dream," I assured her, putting my hand on her arm.
"Don't touch me, you monster," she shrieked.
"Aaliya what? You were dreaming. I haven't given you the third talaaq. it's okay," I said.
"You gave me the first one though. All because of your mother and your family," she replied bitterly.
"Aaliya, what are you talking about?" I asked, confused.
"I can't live with people who don't trust me. Take me to Rehaan's," she whispered.
"Aaliya, you just came back from there yesterday. We exposed Bhabi. Do you not remember?" I reminded her.
"Even if we did, I still don't want to say there. You all doubted me. I need to go back," she demanded.
We got to Rehaan's and as soon as we saw him Aaliya ran into his arms. I've got to admit, seeing your wife with someone else hurts. I couldn't believe that Rehaan was giving her the comfort I could offer. But then it dawned on me that over the past weeks when no-one was there for her, Rehaan was the only one she could trust and rely on. I was even more shocked at the fact that they had developed a brother-sister relationship between them.
"What's up with my little sister, you should be happy. You're back with Zain?" Rehaan asked with the same confusion that I had.
"But Bhai, I can't stay there. I had a really bad dream just now and I realised that, that now I can't be with Zain," she confessed.
"But why not? They'll earn back your trust and faith. And plus, it was only a dream. We can't base all things in life in dreams now can we?" Rehaan tried to explain,
"But if they all so easily doubted me now then what will happen in the future? What will happen then?" she asked, eerily quiet.
