#Reason 1- He is very sweet. Just like her chocolates.
****
Her eyes were tight shut as little tears formed on the edge of her eyes.
Her hands were clenched around her stomach trying to claw away the pain.
She kept on rolling on the bed in agony, tissues, water and chocolates at hand.
The doorbell rang.
"Uhnn" she moaned, not at all ready to get up from the comforts of her bed.
It rang again. She opened her eyes a little and moaned an inaudible "go away".
She peered at the clock. It was 8 so it must be Zain.
She reached for her cell phone and dialled his number.
He picked up on the first ring.
"Aliya? You are not home?"
"I am home Zain. Just use the keys please?"
She groaned.
"Are you ok?" He asked, concern evident.
"Yes.No. just use the damn keys." She shouted through the phone.
She heard the familiar click of the door being opened and then closed.
She could also hear him shuffling along the hall. He called out- "Aliya?"
"In here" she raised her voice with difficulty.
"What happened?" He asked,running through the door.
"Stomach ache." She closed her eyes in pain.
"Do you have fever? Is it paining a lot? Should I call you mum? Did you catch a bug? Should I call the doc?"
"Zain" she whisper-screamed.
"Omg! Are you giving birth?" He asked, his eyes wide.
He walked around the bed to her side and clasped her hand.
"Don't worry. I am here."
She scoffed.
"Zain" she said, irritated.
"We got married a week ago. How many times have we done it?"
"Don't answer that!" She said quickly seeing his face.
Knowing him, he probably kept count of how many times and where exactly had they done the deed.
"So what? Its your time of the month?" He asked, grinning.
She smirked.
He dropped her hand and scooted a bit away from her.
It is an universal theory. Scratch that. A rule.
All men are afraid of women when they are aproaching "that time of the month."
And Zain Abdullah was no exception.
"Do me a favour?" She groaned.
"Yeah?"
"Go to the med store and buy me the-"
"Okay." He said and literally ran out of the room.
"But the name of the medicine-"
"Its ok. I'll ask the shopkeeper." And she heard the door click close again.
*After 15 minutes.*
"Where the hell is he?" She whined, rolling about in the bed.
Tears escaped her eye as a particular sharp pang went about her stomach.
She sighed deeply.
"why the hell was I born a girl?" She said through gritted teeth.
"I'll let Zain impregnate me. Atleast I would be rid of this torture for 9 months."
"Careful what you wish for" said a voice from the doorway.
"Where the hell were you?" She screamed, her voice raspy.
He looked afraid.
"Uh- sorry." He hurried to their bed.
"Here" he said handing her a brown paper bag.
She sat up with a bit difficulty and took the bag and upturned it.
And from it fell 4 tablet strips and two mango bites.
None was her medicine.
"What is all this?" She asked.
He looked really nervous.
"Uh-this is for kids stomach pain, this one's for normal acidity. And this one's yours."
He said proudly.
"And the 4th one's for me. I was very clammy when I reached the store. The poor man thought that I had a condition. So he gave me this."
"Zain! I can't take normal meds for pain caused by periods!" She exclaimed.
He looked horrified.
"Don't say that word." He muttered.
She rolled her eyes. "Men"
"Go again. I'll text you the name."
He fled again.
After 5 minutes.
"Aliya" he said, "here."
He handed her a glass of water.
"Thanks Zain."
"No problem. I'll change and come yeah?"
"Hmm."
She bit her lip when she realised she hadn't cooked food. Although she wasn't in a particular mood to eat, he must have been starving.
"Zain" she beckoned to him.
He sat near the edge of the bed as if she were sick.
"I did not make food." She said in a sad voice.
He smiled and the twinkle she so loved made way into his eyes.
"Its ok Aliya. I am not that hungry anyway."
He said while he brushed back her hair.
"Zain, you must be exhausted and starving. Order pizza na. Or anything."
"Aliya, I am fine. You go to sleep."
"I can't. It hurting too much." She said, tears falling down.
He gulped but brushed away the tears.
He stood up suddenly.
"Where are you going?"
He ignored her question and went in the bathroom and came out holding a small box
He pulled her blanket down and sat beside her side of the bed,on the floor.
"What are you doing?" She repeated her question.
He took her top and rolled it up.
"Zain-"
"Can't you see this balm Haid-uh, Abdullah?" He said in a quiet voice.
She smiled a bit.
She giggled when his strong hands softly caressed her milky midriff, the balm cooling her skin.
And as he applied the balm, he talked her through his day.
And she listened.
His face was suddenly by hers.
"Its your luck that you are unwell. Had it been some other situation-"
He pecked her lips.
She smiled widely.
"Love you Mr.Abdullah." she said as she ruffled his hair.
He placed butterfly kisses on her stomach and continued applying balm.
When he finished he said- "go to sleep. I'll wash my hands and come."
"Zain?"
"Hmm?"
"Come here na."
"What?"
She held his head near and kissed him full on the lips and then on his cheek.
"You are very sweet Abdullah."
"Just like your chocolates?" He asked, kissing her nose.
"Sweeter even"
He smiled as he pecked her lips again.
"Thanks." She whispered.
"Anytime." He kissed her forehead and left for the bathroom.
She picked up her cell and dialled a number-
"Hello, welcome to Domino's. Your contact number please?" Said a voice on the other line.
She loved him after all.
She couldn't let him go to sleep hungry, could she?
