Behind You Chapter 23
F A R A H "Can we be friends?"To say I'm surprised will be an understatement, the one and only Jawad who can't stand me is asking to be friends. I was a little happy my husband is gradually changing but kept a stern face not wanting him to see the happiness on my face "Who are you?" I asked. He doesn't seem to grab my words he just kept staring at me."Are you sick somewhere?" I nudged him a little. "Oh you don't seem to grab my joke, I mean are you really the Jawad I know" I explained.So now Farah you're acting comfortable with him. I don't know what made him laugh, is it my joke or me smacking him.Something is definitely wrong."What's wrong in being friends, we've been married for some months now and we can't stay like this forever like strangers" he stated."I have one question". I said sitting more comfortably. "What made you change your mind, as in why are you suddenly kind to me now". I asked.Seriously I need to know what made him change his mind that he's been kind to m

F A R A H"Good morning," I said the moment I sat on the dinning.A smile made it way out of Jawad's lips. "Good morning, how are you feeling now?"The event of last night flashed in my head.Shit Farah what have you done.I remembered crying on Jawad's shoulder. And the craziest part of it is that I told him I can't sleep alone. I've been so emotional that we literally shared the bed. Though we place a barrier between us, which made me feel a bit comfortable. Ya Allah this is awkward."I'm feeling much better Alhamdulillah," I replied back calmly."I've spoken to the security services regarding last night, I hope we'll find out something about the guy." I do hope the thief will be captured."So what do you want to do today." He said suddenly taking a sip of his coffee. His words caught me off guard. I still can't believe he's kind to me. Some part of me tells me I should not be comfortable with his new change of behavior.What do I want to do?"Let's just stay indoor, we can even d

F A R A H "Excuse me the patient has woken up and she's asking for Jawad." One of the nurses announced making us jerked away from the staring."Um... Thank you." He said, taking a look at me I squeezed his hands reassuring him everything will be alright. He held my hands tightly making me watch him in confusion."Let's go together, I know mom will want to see you too" He stated still holding my wrist. Reaching her room, he removed his hands from mine I suddenly lost the warmth of his hands.Poor FarahLooking at Aunt Khadija, she looks weak, pale, dark circles under her eyes, the Aunt Khadija I know is a bright, kind and cheerful woman. "Come my daughter." She said in a weak voice indicating me to come forward. She pats the spot next to her."How are you feeling now," I said."Alhamdulillah, I'm feeling much better, I'm sorry you had to leave your honeymoon so soon" she stated in a sad voice. "No don't say that your health matters the most" I ushered back. Jawad who had been watchi

F A R A H Aunt Khadija is getting better she got discharged and will take rest at home. She insists she won't stay in the hospital for more than 5days and to be honest, I also hate hospitals especially the food, it's as if they cook the food without any seasonings."Farah please can you help me with those papers on top of the drawer," Jawad said pointing to the top drawer while working on his laptop. I did as I was told giving him the papers something I didn't expect happened. He pulled me to him my hands landing on his chest. I could feel my heart beating fast and I know he heard it too by the amusement look on his face. He inches his face forward, I can literally feel his breathing, I closed my eyes ready for whatever he's about to do to me when I feel nothing. Opening my eyes he was watching me too with a slight smirk on his face."Something fell on your hijab." He stated.Ya Allah, what am I thinking? "Uhm... Uh. I need to go." My voice came out hoarsely. He furrowed his brows w

F A R A HAustin's face turns to that of confusion the way he notices the frown on Jawad's face. Jawad keeps pulling me closer to him which made 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 I'm 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

F A R A HIt's been four days since the departure of Jawad. Myrah and Khalid also left early in the morning and now I'm left alone with Aunt Fatima in the house. Being away from him made me realize how deep I fell for my husband. I feel empty and lonely. Taking my phone from the Nightstand, I stared at Jawad's name across the screen. He called me once and that is the day of his departure and since that day he didn't call.Farah just call him, he's your husband.Inhaling a sharp breath, I pressed the call button. I sigh in disappointment when I heard his line was off.I hope all is well.Ya Allah protect my husband wherever he is.My phone vibrated indicating it's time for prayers. I perform Wudu without wasting any more time.I prayed to Allah to protect my husband.Stepping downstairs, I spot aunt Fatima busy in the kitchen. Masha Allah Aunt Fatima is a hard-working woman. How I wish she had a daughter or a son."Why are you standing there Farah come sit, the food is almost done." Sh

J A W A D"Mr. Jawad, as you can see to transport the products through the sea will be a little bit expensive and it will take a long time before it arrives at the destination." One of my project partner said"Mr. Phillips, I think this is the best way to transport the good, and last time I checked the money is not going to come out of your pocket. My decision is final." With that being said I walked out of the office leaving a stunned Phillips staring in space. Who is he to tell me what to do, I'm the boss.My door made a click sound indicating the door is open. I dropped my suit on the leather couch, slouching myself on it. As usual, I find myself thinking about Farah. My mind had been consumed with her thought, I can't seem to get her out of my mind. I don't know when or how that happens but ever since our trip to Dubai, I find myself getting closer to her, whenever she's close to me I feel something ignite in me like I want her to stay close to me forever. She looks so innocent ev

J A W A DI stared at my wife's small frame looking pale on the hospital bed. The doctor told us she's in coma, and they don't know the specific time she's waking up. I feel hurt and lonely inside. Is this what it feels to care about someone deeply, someone who you hurt by your selfish reason. This is all my fault, I shouldn't have treated her badly and now.Taking her cold hand in mine, I rub circle on it. "Farah, I know it's of no use saying this but I need to get it out of my head." A lump forms in my throat. This is not what I wished to happen."I'm so sorry for what I did to you in the past, I was blind by my selfishness, I didn't realize I've been chasing away a good and innocent woman." Holding her hands to my cheek I whispered. "Please Farah wake up and punish me for all the hurtful words and harsh treatment, Farah please don't leave me, I need to earn your forgiveness.""I'm sorry Farah""Please wake up Farah." I felt someone touch my shoulder. Turning I came face to face wi
