Behind You - Episode 27

 

Farah

Austin face turns to that of confusion the way he notice the frown on jawad face. Jawad keep pulling me closer to him making me feel uncomfortable.

"Oh Nice to meet you, I'm Austin" he said extending his hands. Jawad eyed him up and down before he shook it.

"I'm jawad." He stated roughly. "Wifey we need to check out the other section so-" before i could even say goodbye to Austin, jawad pulled me along disappearing to one corner.

"Seriously jawad, what's that suppose to mean?" I was beyond pissed.

"What?" He said as if he doesn't know what am talking about.

"I was talking to him and you came and interrupt us, you didn't even let me say goodbye." I placed my hands on my hip waiting for him to answer my question.

"Who is he?" He asked staring at me with some sort of emotion that i couldn't decipher.

"Just an old friend, you have a problem with that?" I ushered back . Taking a slow step towards me, he placed his one hand on the wall beside me, placing the other on my waist and pulled me to him my hands landing on his hard chest. I felt something trigger in my body

. scared, shock, want.  What i know is that i like his hands on my waist, i like the position we are. Bringing his face closer to my ear he whispered, i could feel his breath on my cheek.

"Of course i have a problem, you're my wife and i don't like some random men talking to my wife."

"Jawad you-" My voice came out hoarsely.

"Say it" he said again, moving his hands downward.

I think am about able faint.

What is this am feeling?

We were interrupted by a grinning Myrah. We pulled apart immediately. "Oops.. Did i interrupt something." She said winking at me. 

"Uhm.." Jawad cleared his voice, stuffing his hand on his pocket.

"We will be waiting in the car when you're done." And he left leaving me utterly embarrassed and shy. I know Myrah won't leave me in peace after seeing us in that position.

"I've been looking for you guys, i didn't know you're here ma-" i cut her off before she complete her sentence.

"Are you through with the shopping? Let's go." I rushed out not waiting for her.

**

"Seriously Myrah is disturbing part of your pregnancy hormone." Ever since we came back from shopping she has been teasing me.

"Am just happy you guys are getting along." She said placing her hand on her baby bump.

"I can't wait to hold your little baby." I said changing the topic.

"But too bad, we're leaving for Canada in 5days." The smile on my face immediately faded. Living with Myrah has taught me so many things, she's a good woman, you can't stay long with her without her making you laugh. I wipe off the drop of tears that threaten to fall from my eyes.

"Oh.. Don't make me cry, come here." She embrace me in a hug..

"I will miss you"

"Me too." Myrah is like a sister to me, am going to miss her and her jokes so much.

"Let me give a call to Mom" Aunt Khadija and Uncle left after her discharge, uncle is having an important meeting.

I let out a small breath. "The house will be boring without you guys." Her face immediately saddened.

"What's there to be sad about you have your husby." And the guy in talk pushed the door opened.

"I guess the guy can't get enough of you." She wink standing up and whispering something to jawad glancing my way his nod his head and she sprinted out.

Myrah and her teases 

"What did she tell you?" I find myself saying.

"It's a secret." He whispered taking a seat beside me on the couch close enough to make my heart beat inside my ribs.

"Why are you looking at me like that." I managed to say even though the mere contact is doing something to my body.

"You look beautiful" he blurted out.

What?

"Is something wrong with you because last time i check you're not someone who will utter the word beautiful?" The words came out as a question.

"And what I'm changed?" He whispered just enough for me to here. The next thing i felt is my hand on a cold hard one. 

We stared at each other for what felt like decades, we are getting closer day by day and I'm liking it. I like hold her held my hands in his cold ones, i gave me some kind of comfort. His next word brought me back from my world of thought.

"I'm traveling." He stated.

"To where?" I asked sitting more comfortably.

"To Netherland for some business and i might stay for a few days." He rub circles on my hand.

"For how long?"

"Ten day and am leaving tomorrow." He stated as if it's nothing big but for me it is. Ten days alone without him or Myrah.

I stood up immediately towards the closet suddenly feeling lost of contact trying to hide my tears. I don't even know why i feel like crying.

Because you're in love with your husband.

"Let me help you with the parking." I tried to brush my thoughts away.

"Okay, i will just freshen up" and he disappear to the toilet. I halt at what am trying to do. Finally letting out the tears that I've been holding.

I think i really fell for jawad.

We didn't talk too much throughout the day, each one with his thought. After praying Night Namaz, i changed into my Nightwear and laid on the bed. We've started sharing the bed after coming from Dubai. I could feel jawad presence but i pretend i was sleeping. I don't know why am behaving like this, it's not that he's going to stick with me 24/7.

"Make sure you call us when you arrived." Aunt Fatima said after praying for his safety.

"Insha Allah Aunt" he answered back. Taking one last look at me, he gave me a smile. I just kept staring at him not knowing what to do or say till he left not before muttering i will be back enough for me to hear.
