Farah

By the time i went back to the office, i asked precious to give him the file as am not ready to face him. When I told her about the resignation she was angry at Jawad

"Oh Farah... Am going to miss you" she engulf me in a hug.

"You're a good secretary, he's going to regret letting you go, and I will make sure of that" 

"I will miss you too, and don't worry he's going to find another secretary who is better than me" i wiped away the lone tear that threaten to spill from my eyes.

"We will get i touch right?" She asked breaking the hug.

"Of course we will" precious is indeed a nice friend.

After packing my necessary things i bid her goodbye glancing towards his door. Just then the door creaked open revealing the boss itself . our eyes met, its as if time has stopped we stared into each other eyes, for some moment i saw guilt on his eyes but quickly change to anger who am i kidding he's not someone to feel guilty about what he did wrong. I quickly avert my eyes and walked away, i could feel his gaze on my back. 

I hail a taxi and went home. After taking a warm shower, i perform my isha namaz (night prayer)

. Aunt Fatima is coming back tomorrow so i won't feel lonely. Thinking about Aunt Fatima, i remembered i haven't spoken to my family in a long time; i took my phone and dialed mom number.

"Assalamu alaikum mom" i greeted her.

"Wa alaikum Salam my daughter how are you doing" 

"Am fine mom how is yasmin" i heard yasmin squealing 

"I miss you sis Farah, when are you visiting us" she asked.

"Oh...i miss you too, don't worry soon" 

After talking with my family for some time, i changed into my nighty gown and laid on my bed wish is the couch. I thought of today's event hmm tomorrow is going to be a good day. 

**

I woke up and find the bed empty, as usual he went to work. I brushed off the thought. I prayed my fajr namaz which i forgot to pray on time due to sleep.

After taking my bath, i wore a simple floral gown with a peach hijab, i made sure i take everything i need because am visiting home a surprise visit.

"Good morning my dear" hearing her voice i flinched a little.

"Wow Aunty Fatima what a surprise, i thought you're coming back today" i hugged her.

"Actually i came back yesterday, there won't be moving of train today due to some maintenance that's why i took yesterday train" she explained to me while placing pancake on my plate, while i sat on the dinning 

"Oh...i miss you food aunt fatima" taking a bite of pancake. A moan left my lips I love Aunt Fatima food.

"Well, am back now" 

**

"Aunt Fatima, I'm going to my house and maybe i will be late" i said taking my bag from the couch.

"Okay my regards to your mom" 

"Insha Allah"

I hailed a taxi and gave him the address to my parent house. Our house is 30mins drive. 

I know they will be surprise about my visit, i miss them.

I knocked on the wooden door waiting for someone to open the door; i heard the sweet voice of my sister shouting 

'Coming'

"Ta-da" i outstretched my hands

"Sis Farah, mom sis Farah is here" yasmin shouted. She walked towards us with happiness written on her face.

"Assalamu Alaikum mom" i greeted 

"Wa alaikumul Salam" she engulfed me in a hug.

"Did jawad drop you off" she asked her eyes roaming outside for his car.

"No, he have some meeting so i told him i will take a taxi" i hate to lie but its better than me telling her that her son-inlaw doesn't even know am here.

"Why are you still standing there come inside" 

**

"So sis Farah, tell me how's bro-inlaw, is he good to you. Why am i asking such silly question i know he's good to you" she blabbered only if you knew, he's nothing as good.

"Yasmin, can you just keep quite for sometime, you've been bombarding me with question the moment i entered this room"

"Oh...sis i just want to know" she whispered.

"Nothing to know, he's good to me okay"  

Actually visiting home really made me happy, it made my mind off a lot of things like jawad.

**

"When visiting next time makes sure you come together with Jawad” Yasmin winked at me.

"Sure" i fake a smile, 

I bid my goodbye with them and hail a taxi back home with a smiley face. The moment i entered, i came face to face with the devil. 

"Where were you? And who gave you permission to go out" he bombard me with question. I ignored him and walked pass him. What I feel next is my body being pushed on the wall, with a fury Jawad staring right into my eyes.

"Am asking you a question, which i need you to answer" he spat.

“where i went is none of your business, and i don't need your permission to go to wherever i want to" i spitted back. I saw a look on his face which i couldn't decipher.

"Don't forget you're married to me, you're my wife and you have to ask me for permission before you go out" i feel his tight hold on my arm, but that doesn't stop me from speaking. 

"Oh...so now am your wife, last time i checked you told me clearly that you don't have anything to do with this marriage" my lips form a smirk.

"So you do your business and i do mine" 

His hold on my arm loosens which gave me the cue to leave, leaving him standing dumbstruck. I closed the door behind me. I placed my hands on my beating heart is a little scared by my stunt earlier but i need to show him am strong. I did a little victory dance yes! You did it Farah.
