Chapter 112

"You can go now, but meet me at home, later in the night, together with your wife." His father addressed. Muhsin nodded his head, thanking them before he got to his feet and left. A short time later, he arrived home. He met Dalia in the living room watching TV with a huge bowl of popcorn in front of her. She made eye contact with him before slowly getting to her feet. "You're home, finally. I've been waiting for you." She wrapped her arms around his torso, despite the fact that her baby bump was making an obstruction. "But you were the one that chased me out at the first place." She rests her chin on his chest as she pouted. "I changed my mind the moment you left but I was too lazy to call you back." When he laughed, he looked at her with such pure bliss that she couldn't help kiss him. He kissed her back soundly until finally pulling back. "When is she coming back?" She questioned looking at him vigilantly. He flashed her a sly smile, stroking her back. "She's not coming back." He told her. "And I would appreciate it if you don't talk about her anymore, okay?" He disclosed. A smile flickers at the corner of her mouth as she nodded. He smiled back before letting her. Later that day after prayers, they got ready and headed to answer his father's call. The two of them settled down, waiting to hear why he summoned them. "Uh... I wasn't actually happy that you didn't take amira back but maybe it's for the best and not completely knowing what happened between you two, it doesn't give me the right to tell you to keep her or not. For this reason, I am sorry for the way I acted." Muhsin grinned to reveal the straight, pearly teeth. ** "Just close your eyes," he insisted, almost ruining the surprise as he was eager to show her. She sighed defeatedly before covering her eyes with her hands. "This better be good, Yaya! You literally woke me up from a nap. Just pray it's worth it else I'm going to snap your neck." Ignoring her rants, he holds out two tickets before her face. "You can open your eyes now." Slowly, she uncovers her eyes and stared at the tickets. "What's this?" She asked taking it away from him. "Tickets? For what? To where?" She inquired, going through it. "Keep checking," he urged her, smiling. "Bora Bora? But.... I don't have a passport. I mean I do but I am sure it has expired." He shrugged his shoulders before taking her into his arms. "I know about that. We're going tomorrow to renew it, besides the trip is in like six, five weeks. I'm sure we can get it before then, right?" Her lips curved upwards as she nodded. She enfold him in a gentle hug, and buried her face in his chest. A short time later, she raised her head to look at him. "This is one of the ways to show you how sorry I am." He whispered into her ear before kissing her cheek. "I don't even know how to start thanking you." "Just keep being you, that's all I want." He draw her closer and hugged her gently. He kissed her cheek as he whisper in a flirtatious manner. "But how am I going to travel when I'm pregnant," she asked suddenly. He laughed heartily, letting go of her. "Babe, you can still fly and besides you're only five months far, right?" She nodded her head, unbeknownst to her. The next morning, Dalia was still sleeping. She felt a rapid, hard smack on her shoulder. "Dalia, wake up! Wake up else I will hit you with a pillow," Amrah warned still tapping her on the shoulder. "Armah, leave me alone!" She spat, still half asleep. "Amrah?" She opened her eyes swiftly before sitting up right. "What are you doing here? Ugh you're so good at surprising me." She uttered enfolding her in a tight embrace. "Yes and I am here to stay with you before your trip. Urgh I'm so jealous you get to go on a trip with your husband while I'll be here doing my usual routine of eat, pray and sleep." "Get a husband first if you want to enjoy life like this," she teased her as she got off the bed. Dalia sauntered towards the bathroom. "Who says I don't have a husband now?" Amrah disclosed, making dalia to halt. She turned and looked at Amrah. "You have a boyfriend, don't you?" She questioned walking back to where Amrah was standing. "Well let's just your husband's cousin has introduced himself to baba and hmmm... how do I say it...." "You idiot and you're just telling me? When did this happened? Why are you just telling me this now?" Dalia smacked her on her shoulder. "Hey, ouch.... It's not my fault. It's all part of my surprise." Dalia squealed and threw her arms around her. "Spill everything, when did he confess? How did it all happen." They settled down on the edge of the bed before Amrah told her how Yusuf visited her after Dalia had gone back home. And how he went to introduce himself to her father. "Now baba asked him to send his people." Amrah squealed cheerfully.
