Behind You - Episode 14

 

Farah 

The morning rays of sunshine erupt through the window making me walk towards the window to take in the bright sunshine. I stood like that for 20mins before i sprinted off to the bathroom.

I took a hot shower to soothe my aching body, sleeping on the couch always leave me with body. I took out a simple sea green gown with a matching hijab, i applied hair cream which is almost finished i need to do some shopping later, i thought . I applied lip balm to prevent my lips from drying.

Coming downstairs I spot Jawad dressed in a T-shirt and a black pant, drinking a cup of god knows what coffee or tea. He looks more handsome in them, what are you thinking Farah. I scold myself.

"Farah dear, i was just about to call you" Aunt Fatima said. "Come sit". I sat down opposite jawad, who is busy eating his breakfast without sparing me a glance.

"Here" she placed the plate of scrambled egg and a cup of hot tea.

"Thank you Aunt" she nodded smiling.

"Oh...I forgot to ask you, how was your trip yesterday?" She asked me.

"Alhamdulillah". I felt jawad gaze on me, the look on his face shows anger. My lips form a smirk remembering yesterday event

. We heard the sound of doorbell making jawad to avert his angry eyes from me.

"Let me get it". Aunt Fatima said. An awkward silence fell on us.

"What did she mean by your trip?" He blurted out folding his arms on his chest.

"Oh...actually i went out for some refreshments yesterday" i said sarcastically. He gave me an unsatisfied look, he was about to utter another word when some voice interrupt us.

"I miss you Aunt" i heard the unfamiliar voice said.

"I miss you too son. Did you come together with Myrah?"

"No, but she's coming tomorrow insha Allah"

"Okay come let me introduce you to someone"

"Farah".  Aunt called my name.

"Come on my son".

"Assalamu Alaikum". I greeted the guy looks familiar, I've seen him somewhere but i couldn't pinpoint.

"Farah?" I watched him with confusion.

"Do you know me?" I asked.

"It's Khalid, we met at the park". And that's when the puzzle clicks.

"Khalid!" I point at him.

"I didn't know being busy involve roaming about and meeting people." Jawad said bitterly seriously i totally forgot about him.

"Oh come on bro, aren't you happy to see me." Khalid pouted. Bro? I watched the two of them confusedly.  

"Is jawad your bro?" I asked.

"Yes" he shrugged. He looks kinder than jawad. 

"But what are you doing here?" He asked.

"Actually..." Before i answer him, aunt cut me off.

"She's jawad's wife"

"What! so you're the lucky girl who got married to my brother"

"When i heard about him getting married, i was really surprised, because i know my brother he doesn't....."

"Can't you keep quite for once" jawad cut him off.

"But bro you got a beautiful wife" i didn't miss the look on jawad face, rolling his eyes he turned walking upstairs.

"Myrah is coming tomorrow, so we're staying for some few days" Khalid yelled making him stopped amidst walk.

"What's wrong with where you're staying"

"The hotel is kind of boring, besides you have enough rooms for us to fit in." A smirk form on his lips. Without saying anything jawad sprinted upstairs.

**

"I swear Farah, you will get along with my wife" he exclaimed.

"So tell me how did you guys met, and how did my hot headed brother fell in love with you" he said in one breath. Shit what should i say.

"You know when..."

"Why are you interrogating my wife." Thank you Allah for bringing jawad to my rescue.

"Am asking her how you two met, and how you fell in love with her, not a big deal" he answered.

He sat down beside me, close enough to make my heart faster.

"You want to know how we met?" He looked directly into my eyes making a small smile. I know it's all for show.

"It was a beautiful day...." It's as if time has stopped , i stared at his alluring eyes, losing myself in them; He stared at me, something in his eyes bothers me, i couldn't pinpoint guilt, pain. The surroundings didn't matter, i want to be close to him but something is pulling me back.

"Um...um" we heard the clearing of voice making us pull apart. I moved back adjusting my hijab.

"Oh..so romantic, can't get enough of each other huh?" I felt my cheeks heating up.

"Excuse me." I ran upstairs feeling shy, i placed my hands on my chest feeling my heart beating fast, did he feels it too. I sat close to the window pulling out my novel to read, i heard the click of door opening, jawad standing tall in his glory, seeing him like this makes me nervous.

"I need to talk to you about something." he said sitting down farther away from me. I kept the book on the side table, giving my attention to him.

"Since khalid is here and he's staying for a few days we have to do something; i don't want Khalid to know about our situation. And his wife myrah, if she comes to know nothing is between us she will tell my parent which will not be good for me". He said clenching his jaw.

"So what do want us to do" i asked staring at his beautiful face Farah pull yourself together.

"I want us to act as couples in love"
