Chapter 6
Sofia
Since my encounter with my husband, I'd been hiding in my room except to come out of my hiddens for meals.
The room was so big that it had its own big jacuzzi, mini library and a dinner room. I loved the room, it was full of books that I loved to read.
I woke up with a running stomach, I groaned and got out of the bed,tip-toeing to the kitchen to find something to eat. It was only food that could get me out of bed.
I entered the kitchen and the aroma of brewed coffee made my stomach growl.
Sorry baby, mama gonna feed you now,I patted my stomach dramatically.
I settled myself on the counter, took two slices of bread with noodles, yummy!!.
After the meal, I retracted back to my room, to dwell myself in my work-books.
The house was silent, Yusuf had gone to work, Jane - our househelp wasn't here because it was her day off.
Upon getting to my room, I felt the urge to make a little garden. I put on my yoga cloth with my cape and went out.
Yusuf POV
He entered the house and saw everything was cleaned. He wondered who cleaned and rearranged the setting of the house but wow it was beautiful.
He entered the second sitting room and saw his beautiful princess on the couch.
Her head was on the floor while her legs were hung on the couch, there were many used toilet rolls on the floor. She was watching a movie and crying - what was wrong?.
He was concerned about what had happened to her.
He cleared my throat, "what happened?" He asked worriedly.
"Are you here to mock me or what???!!!" she backed at him while scowling.
"I'm sorry wifey but can I ask you the reason why you are crying?" he asked softly while looking at the TV and noticed she was watching the movie 'Five Feet Apart' movie. He groaned tiredly.
He preferred the novel that the movie. The movie was emotional, it was about two teenagers who had cystic fibrosis ( CF). They had an instant flirtation, though restrictions dictate that they must maintain a safe distance between them. Because CF patients are strictly kept six feet apart to reduce the risk of cross-infection, as contracting bacterial infections from other CF patients can be dangerous. Which must be five feet apart. As their connection intensifies, so does the temptation to throw the rules out the window and embrace their attractions.
"I was happy watching this movie but then it makes me emotional because peo died and when Will left Stella" she sniffed, another pool of tears started.
"Sorry" he said concerning.
"I don't want your sorry, it's just that it came unprepared. It makes me feel like shit, like now. My stomach is aching serious but I've used Felvin for it and I'm..." she trailed off.
"What makes you feel like shit?" he asked her dumbfounded because he didn't understand the damned thing she was talking about.
"It" she made a puppy face.
Awww. She was cute and all his.
"Don't tell me you don't know what I'm talking about." she said, frowning.
"I don't know," he replied honestly.
"Leave it, if you don't know what I'm talking about" she said harshly moving past him.
He shook his head, she was behaving weird.
He looked at her retreating figure and saw a blood stain on her white lace.
"Wait" he called her.
She faced him and he was short of words because he didn't know what to say.
"uhn?"
"erm...., you've got a blood stain on your cloth."he said, scratching his neck nervously and not looking at her.
He was embarrassed.
" This is it, I was talking about " she pouted.
"What are we going to do?"he asked her.
"You are asking me?"she spoke incredulously with a raised brow.
" Uhn? "
"Or you should be asking what you are going to do"
"Uhn?. What should I do?" he asked.
" Now you are talking sweetheart" she pinched his cheek, "You buy me sanitary pad and bars of ice chocolate then we will complete the rerun of the movie". She said with mischief.
Whaaaaaaat!!!!!!!

He entered the mini mart, looking around maybe he could find a male but nay!, all were females.
He brought his hood to cover his face, how was he going to ask?.
He walked to the staff, he was extremely embarrassed. He didn't know what to do without them thinking of him as a perv.
"Ma'am, can you please get me..."he was embarrassed, he didn't know how to ask.
" Good evening sir"She bowed politely, "What should I get you?" she asked.
" I want a glass of water"he blurted out, yeah he needed water to calm his beating heart.
He fanned myself nervously.
The lady came around and gave him what he requested.
"I hope you are okay sir" the lady asked concerning.
He nodded his head because he didn't trust his words at that moment.
He summoned courage,this was it.
"I want to buy that lady's things"he breathed out quickly while the lady smiled softly at him as if she understood his feelings.
"What type sir"she inquired.
"Which one do you think is the best?" he requested.
"That is the section for woman sanitaries"she responded pointing to the ladies personal use shelf.
He was more embarrassed now.
Some ladies were giggling and pointing to him, he was mortified. He was grateful that no one could recognize me with his hood on.
This was it.
This was for wifey, wifey was in pain .
He took the first one his hand reached and went to the cashier before he ran out without checking the name of the product he picked.
Phew.
~~~
He got home and showed her the one he bought. She screamed at him and threw it on his face telling him to return it because she didn't use that type of product.
"I use Always, not Diva" she yelled.
He was royally screwed .

What ya think of the chapter?
Chapter 7Sophia It had been weeks since the incident with my period. I giggled, remembering what happened to my poor husband. He was stuck with me forever.****"Is this what I asked you to buy?" I yelled at him and threw it away,it hit him on his forehead. He could never feel the pain because it was soft and fluffy."Buu_t you didn't tell me what to buy" he stuttered, looking mortified while I grinned wickedly at the back of my mind.Pay back to the bitch because I never forced you to marry me and this is what my father used to do whenever I was on my period. I smiled evilly at my thought."I can't go back" he shook his head, as if he was trying not to remember what happened.Whatever who cares. I rolled my eyes"I don't care, I need it" I said s
Chapter 8Sophia We rushed down to the hospital, I and Yusuf. I was rambling and sniffing because I didn't know what the future held.I was scared."It's okay,he will be fine," he said,rubbing my back soothingly with one of his hands and the other to drive.When we arrived at the hospital, I rushed out of the car without waiting for Yusuf to park.I walked straight into the elevator without seeing the security man who wanted to question me. Yusuf stood behind, answered all the questions. I'd pressed the button where papa was before he jogged inside the elevator before it closed.I strode out of it and saw ummi ,uncle shuaib who was my maternal uncle and my younger bro. Ummi was on the floor crying while Uncle shuaib was comforting her.I ran to ummi and started to tea
Chapter 9Yusuf He had been watching her since the previous week that her father had taste to death. She hadn't cried out, her lips were always quivering and he always noticed a lone tear on her face which she quickly cleaned, murmuring some words under her breath.He was tired of this brooding even though she disliked him which was 100% opposite, he missed her. He missed her lively presence, the twinkled of her nose, the mischief in her eyes and the knit of her brows when she was concentrating on something. Or the glimpse in her eyes when she opens a new book to the emotional breakdown when her favorite characters were killed. He knew the pain of when someone close to us died but this was too much. She wasn't crying out, she was killing herself inside little by little.She was miserable.He'd called her best friend to come so m
Chapter 10Sophia "Adé mí*, your food is ready. It's on the table," I called out to Yusuf- my husband. (my crown).I didn't know what else I could do again. I was tired of making his life hell because he said it made him fall harder. He was such a cheesy cool guy.Since past months, I'd been trying but didn't stop myself from my wifely duties like cooking, maintaining the house, caring for him-because that was my duty.Well, I was grateful to Allah for granting me him because he was very tolerable, understanding and patient with me even after all my tantrums. He said I was a fire and he was a moth who was always drawn to me.He liked to tease me with every opportunity he had. He also cherished me with gifts and surprises, especially the bars of vanilla chocolate.Oh
Chapter 11“One thing about betrayal is that it never comes from your enemy”.~***~ I have been feeling amazing since I woke up. I couldn't stop the radiant smile on my face as I entered the bathroom for my daily routine. I performed wudu*(ablution) and face the qiblah*(where Muslims face when praying), pray two rakatain*(standing) Fajr*(dawn) and Subh* (morning prayer). After praying my obligatory prayers, I sat on the musolah* (praying mat) and ask forgiveness. May He, the one who forgives, forgives, pardons all my mistakes that I did intentionally or not.My beautiful smile never left my face till I entered the kitchen and started to cook my husband's favorite food. When I was through with cooking and arranging the dishes on the table, I went to his room to call him only to meet him halfway, looking unorganized."Your food is ready," I smil
Chapter 12Sophia POVI was drenched from head to toe when I entered his house that I called my home. I didn't know how I got my way home or how I entered the bathroom, removed my soaked dress and changed.I was heartbroken, I was hurt. My heart was bleeding with betrayal and my soul was crumbled with lies. All his promises of love and caring was just a game to him.I knew I was nothing compared to his handsomeness, wealth but why did he marry me?.It hurt.After I was through with my two nafila*(two volunteer prayers), I took the Quran and read it because I know that He who heals the heart would heal mine. The recitation soothing my soul and heart, luring me to a peaceful slumber.I woke up around 7:00 pm when I heard the horn of Yusuf's car. I got up from the praying mat, making my way t
Chapter 13Sophia POV"My ex." The word resonated round the defending silence of the house. I couldn't believe what I was hearing.Was he cheating behind my back?Why did she come back?Was he going to leave me for her?.Millions of unanswered questions swam in my head.When he noticed my unresponsive self he continued,"But it is not what you're thinking, wifey," he rambled quickly.My nose flared up. Lying again, how dare he!."Then explain to me, what is it?" I said calmly, trying to calm the rate of my beating heart."After I was through with the client, she came crying; telling me about her dead father and I was just comforting her, that's all. I swear to Allah, there's nothing between us. Everything was over between us since last year," h
Chapter 14Sophia POV I couldn't believe he didn't believe me. It was true no one could love me.I was nobody.He could never love someone with a disturbing past. I was nothing, just a pawn. My insecurities were really surfacing. The memories, I wanted to forget. I didn't want to believe it but...He never gave me a choice, except to accept that I was no one.I sat at the fountain crying when I heard my phone rang, "Assalamualaikum. Who is this?" I hushed out and looked at the screen, seeing it was an unknown number."How are you, Sophy babe?" I heard Zainab's voice on the other side of the phone.The nerve of her!How dare she!."What do you want?" I growled. This woman was really gettin
