Behind You - Episode 38

 

Farah

"Mnmp.. I can't breath jawad." I said trying to pull myself out of his embrace.

"Oh sorry" he said pulling back.

"You love me huh?" I asked. He nod he head in return.

"Then what did i hear you saying on the phone." I folded my arms.

"Oh come on Farah, don't be clueless it's all for show." He stated as if it's nothing big. Realizing i didn't bulge by his words he sigh.

"I'm really serious it was all planned by me and Aunt to make you confess your love for me." He blurted out.

Wait

Did i just hear him said Aunt.

Reaching for my hands, he took them in his and watched me with an expression which i knew well.

"Look Farah, i can't sit by and watch my wife not taking our relationship serious, so i had to do something."

"So you act as if you're leaving me for someone just to hear me say the word . I take what i said back." I pouted looking down.

"It's too late dearest because i already know that you love me." He whispered pulling me in. I didn't try to hide away my blush even though he can't see my face.

**

"Aunt, i didn't know you guys planned this out just to make me confess." I said to aunt

. We are now sited at the living room chatting. 

A smile made it way out of her beautiful face. "You guys love each other, i don't know why you're hesitating that's why we came up with the plan."

"And you fell for it exactly how we planned it." Jawad added. I tried to reply but aunt beat me to it by standing up.

"I'm feeling sleepy goodnight." She said patting jawad on his back..

"Night." We all said.

"Don't you think it's high time we get to bed i mean-" i cut him off knowing the direction his words are going to.

"No!"

"Oh come on we've been married for a year now, we need to take it to the next level." He added following behind me.

"What did you say? I can't hear you" i said covering my ears with my hands and ran upstairs with him tailing behind me.

"Don't follow me." Turning to him my head bumped into his hard chest.

"Do you love me that much dearest." He teased. I hid my face more not wanting him to see how shy i am.

"Let's get you to bed," he stated after a moment of silence. "And don't worry i won't do anything." He added seeing my expression. He carried me bridal style and laid me directly on the bed joining me in.

"We didn't even change our clothes." I said.

"Don't worry about the clothes." He answered back pulling me to his chest. I melt in his embrace. A moment of silence fell on us, only our heartbeats could be heard. I closed my eyes feeling some sort of peace and happiness.

"I want to tell you something." He said breaking the silence. I hummed in return.

"Dad is not my real Father." My eyes immediately snapped open hearing him say that.

I remembered the diary i saw in the library that time.

"What?"

"I know you're confused but let me explain. My real father passed away when i was about to finish university, when i graduated from university my uncle paid my fees to further my masters degree in Netherland. I was very grateful that even though my dad passed away he didn't turn his back on us. After some months, uncle got married to Mom and here we are now. I know you will be wondering why the family didn't tell you before the wedding it's because i told them not to, I'm sorry i didn't tell you sooner." Something flicker in his eyes.

I know that look he must miss his Dad. My hands reach for his i squeezed it gently. "It's okay, i know it's not easy for you to tell me. So you and Khalid are stepbrothers?"

"Yes."

"Am i forgiven?" He asked again turning my face to meet his.

"Yes you are." I said

"Okay let's sleep, we have a family meeting tomorrow." I pulled myself more into his body feeling his heart beating.

"Why is your heart beating faster?" I asked raising my head to look at his face. A chuckle made it way out of his lips.

"Do you expect my heart to keep calm when you're so close to me like this." He stated tight lipped. I resist the urge to laugh at his comment.

"Oh really? like this?" I pulled my body more to his body.

"You're testing my Farah, if i lose my patience you won't be able to-" i covered his mouth with my hands quickly. I licked it.

"Jawad!" I whispered shout.

"Ops sorry."

"Goodnight babe." He said kissing my forehead, my eyes closing on its own accord.

"Goodnight."

Wait did he just call me babe?

**

"Good morning." A yawn escape from my lips seeing my husband dressing himself up.

"Morning babe, did you sleep well?" He said applying hair cream to his jet black hair.

What's with him with calling me babe.

"Yeah Alhamdulillah. Are you going somewhere?" I find myself asking.

"Did you forgot about the family meeting today." My eyes widen.

I almost forgot.

"Get ready the family are coming over by 10." My eyes flicker to the clock placed on the wall.

8:30am

I have one and half hour to get ready.

What i felt on my lips brought me back from my thought. My heart doing a somersault.

"What was that?"

"A good morning kiss." He said shrugging his shoulders. I suddenly felt shy.

"Be well prepared because you're going to receive a good morning kiss and goodnight kiss everyday and if possible the other thing." He wink at me with a smirk on his face.

Oh Allah

I took the pillow next to me and threw it at him missing the target.

"See ya."

**

The room was eerily quite, we sat down facing the family. To say I'm nervous will be an understatement. As if jawad sense my nervousness he places his hands on mine whispering  don't worry am here.

Tch.. As if.

"I will go straight to the point." Aunt khadija started. "A lot of things  happened in the past and what we have to say is may Allah forgive our sins. I asked Aunt Fatima to keep an eye on you guys and by the results she gave me am quietly impressed you two have mend your relationship."

"May Allah bless you." She said "and jawad I'm sorry for being harsh on you back then." She added.

"It's okay Mom." He turned to the rest, "i want to use this medium to apologize to you all for the things i did in the past intentionally and unintentionally , i hope you will find a place in your hearts to forgive me." He said in a serious tone.

"I've forgiven you long ago, it's all in the past, may Allah bless you." Mom said.

"It's okay brother in law." Yasmin said with her toothy smile. A smile made it's way out of my lips, it feels like a load had been lift off my heart.

"Alhamdulillah we should thank Allah." Jawad father said after keeping quite for a while.

"While we're at it, its time to celebrate, let's eat out what do you guys think?." Aunt Fatima said

"Sure." We all said in unison.

"I'm so happy right now," Jawad whispered to my ear when the others left to get ready.

"Me too."

"I never thought i will fall in love with you, you're a blessing to me Farah. I love you so much." He whispered pecking my lips.

"I love you too jawad."
