"No matter the circumstances, never raise your voice at your husband."
Halima remembers her mother's statement and closes her eyes willing herself to calm down. She slowly unclenches her fists and opens her eyes then puts on a sweet smile on her face.
"Sweetheart I'm sorry, i didn't mean to raise my voice at you." Halima apologizes going over to hold Sa'eed's hand.
"It's okay, i expected a worse reaction from you. Anyways, please don't speak, i need you to listen to me quietly." Halima nods, gulping. The way Sa'eed is speaking is giving her bad goosebumps. She feels as if something is about to go horribly wrong, or maybe it's just the medications.
"Aleesha's parents threw her out." Sa'eed pauses, waiting for a reaction from Halima. When she doesn't give any, he continues.
"Her friend, I'm sure you've heard of her, Humylash, the famous chef and blogge

Setting her feet in her room, she's met with the most agonizing sight she has ever seen in all of her twenty four years of life.Aleesha is leaning on Sa'eed's shoulders laughing at a ridiculous picture of Cardi B that has been leaked.

The smell is still there but it isn't as strong as it was in the morning, Sa'eed muses.

She turns around and gives a smile which is returned. They exchange pleasantries and he leads her inside. The place is a little dark as the sun has already set."So why did you request that we meet?" Lash goes straight to the point. She doesn't want him to think she likes him - which she obviously does."I just want to know you more. I know a lot of things about you but i need to confirm some from you. Kinsan ance dadin kida a jita a bakin mai shi {you know it's said that a sweet song is better heard from the mouth of the owner}." Lash smiles."What and what have you been able to find out?""Well, I've found out that your name is Aisha Humaira, I'm surprised to know that you have never been seen using a surname. Mind if I ask why?" Lash trembles. This is one of the reasons she doesn't entertain men, they like to bite more than they can chew." I'm an

"Halima for crying out loud stop dragging Aleesha into this!""Oh so now I'm not Habeebtee, instead I'm Halima. Just plain old Halima.

Aleesha drives angrily to Lash's house, muttering incoherent, desultory nonsense under her breath."How dare he?! Sending me out of his house in the dead of the night because he wants to celebrate his wife's birthday in 'private'. He even has the audacity to give me money to stay in a hotel." She hisses.Parking her car in front of Lash's house, she slams the door to her Lamborghini which echoes through the night. She stomps her way inside to the gate only to be stopped by the gateman."Name please." Aleesha eyes him.Like the fvck is wrong with this guy?

Halima wakes up, slowly prying Sa'eed's arm off her stark naked self. She can't believe she's naked, on the floor in the parlor with her equally half naked husband. Ya Allah! Thank goodness Sa'eed used his shirt to cover her, only God knows how she would've gone upstairs today because she knows she can't stand naked to save her life. Even right now, if a gun is set to her head and she's asked to explain how she got naked, she'll definitely die as she has no idea how. It's all Sa'eed.Dragging her huge head tie from Sa'eed's grasp, he ties at around her waist and Alhamdulillah it goes lower than her knee just a little above her ankle. She adjusts Sa'eed's shirt on her and tries to walk only for a harp pain to shoot up her middle. She's sore. She shoots Sa'eed a deathly glare and continues walking qhile wincing at intervals.She set the bath to very hot and adds some of her chocolate-y scented bath soap. Sitting in it, a lone tear

"Doctor Maryam, since you're here already, why don't we discuss my situation?" Halima suggests seeing that Sa'eed isn't well and she can't leave him with the crazy girl called Aleesha, God knows what happened to him."Your file isn't here but let's get this done with." Doctor Maryam sits on a chair by the side and brings out her phone."So according to the last diagnosis, a drug which has become a part of your bloodstream is what damaged eighty to ninety percent of your ovaries. So as i told your husband, there are two solutions; transplant and diet. I suggest we try the diet first, if after a month we don't have an increase in the ovary count, we'll consider other options." Halima nods and doctor Maryam types something on her phone."Since i have your number, I'll send a PDF which will contain the diet plan. I have to ask the dietician to prepare it. Any allergies?""I'm alle
