Chapter Four

Our mini honeymoon was over and it was time to start school again and Muhammad was starting work. I was sad we were not going to be all alone at home again and how terribly I was going to miss that but then I was excited to see my friends again. Muhammad had insisted on taking me to school even though I had objected to it.

   "My wife can't take the bus"Muhammed said as I objected to him taking me to school.

   "But won't you be late for work"i asked and he gave me a "you're not going to change my mind look".

   "Alright"I finally said.

We got to my school and after he kissed me goodbye I couldn't help but blush as I came down from the car and waved him goodbye.

      "I can see Muhammad is taking good care of my best friend" Zainab said excitedly and I couldn't help but smile at how well everything had been going perfectly.

    "You should let us get to lecture before we get there late"I  said trying to change the subject. I wasn't planning on sharing any part of my beautiful life, not even in a gist.

   Apart from the occasional stares I got when I got to class, it was accompanied by a lot of congratulations too and I was tired of smiling cause my cheeks were already hurting"

   We were having the last lecture of the day and the lecture was one of those very boring lectures you wished you never just wasted your time coming for. I looked at were zainab was sitting and she looked like she was already in another world and not in the class. While rahma on the other end was so focused on the lecture as she jotted down every single thing the lecturer was saying, she was undoubtedly the nerd amongst us.

    Soffiyah on the other hand looked worried and sad, she looked far away like she was lost or depressed. I brought out my phone to text Muhammad, I was missing him already.

  Me: hey

Mi amor:I was just thinking about you, are you done with lectures.

Me:I am not but will be done in a few minutes.

Mi amor:you should call me once you are done so I can come get you.

Me:you really don't have to, I will be hanging out at zainab's and then I can go straight home.

Mi amor:alright then,take care of yourself, I love you.

Me:I love you too.

I smiled as I sent the last part of the message,I was actually missing him so much already.

   After lectures I decided to stay with zainab, soffiyah and rahma before going home. I didn't like the idea of staying alone at home. So they had a rented apartment outside school and it was quite a big space.

  We got to their place and soffiya immense went to her Room and I immediately knew something was wrong. As I settled on the sofa with Zainab. I couldn't help but ask.

   "What is wrong with Soffiyah, is everything okay" I asked.

   "She broke up with usman" Rahma answered. And I immediately understood why she had been like that. Usman and Soffiyah had been together all her life and even though she loved him so much, I still really feel he doesn't deserve her. They were the type of on and off couples and the guy just wasn't good for her but Soffiyah really does like him.

   "He apparently said he needed time to sort his life out"Zainab added.

  "They have been together for 5 years now and he still hasn't figured anything out, I just really feel he is playing her" I said.

   "I really just feel she should leave him alone,he isn't ready and he doesn't even love her"I said and I didn't know soffiyah had been standing and listening to all I was saying.

  "Now you feel you know who is good and who is not good for someone. You shouldn't feel because you have the perfect husband that everything is like that for every other person."she angrily said.

  "Soffiyah"i called out standing from where I was sitting.

   "Not everyone is as lucky as you are you know"she said entering her bedroom and locking it behind.

   I really felt bad for what had just happened,did i say something bad and I never meant to make her feel that way.

   "You know she didn't mean all what she said right"zainab said looking at me as if trying to convince me.

   "Yeah,she really didn't"rahma added.

"I think I will just go home now,I am not feeling so well"I said picking up my bags and leaving but then I  suddenly saw Ahmed by the door,it was zainab's brother.

  "Hey"I said looking up at him.

"I heard you got married, congratulations"he said smiling and I smiled back. Ahmed has had a crush on me since we were kids and everyone knew. He was that kind of boy that never spoke out and even though it was that obvious he still never said anything even till I got married. He was also working for a multinational oil company now had he looked better than the last time I saw him.

   "Thanks"

"I am sorry I couldn't come, I was on a business trip"he said then I just smiled back and nodded letting him know I was fine with it.

"I guess I will see you around"i said before leaving.

  Even though I wasn't in a good mood when I got home, I managed to prepare dinner and set the table in a very beautiful way and it was immediately I had finished Muhammad got back and he lightened up my mood with just his presence.

    "Hello baby"he said as he entered the house kissing me on the lips.

   "I made dinner"I said as I helped him with his jacket and other stuffs.

   "I was actually really starving already"he said as we both sat doing at the dining table.

  He asked about my day and I told him everything including what happened between I and soffiyah and he told me all about work. It was an habit we promised to follow in other to know everything that was going on while we were separate.

   "Thanks for the food baby, I loved it"he said as we packed our plates to the kitchen.

  "What about we do something else inside"he said as he carried me into the bedroom and I blushed all through. I loved him and I knew it. What could possibly go wrong.
