Love after Nikkah

Chapter 15

I definitely know that I deserve a bottle of fanta😩😌

Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "The person who severs the bond of kinship will not enter Jannah". [Al-Bukhari and Muslim, riyad as-salihin 339]

Living in the same house but still feels like they are so apart from each other... how lonely can that get?

It's been five days and the couples haven't been able to hold a conversation... Let me rephrase that, Heba and Habib have literally been living in the same house yet, they haven't seen each other for the past five days.
While Heba spend most of the days planting and growing her plants, yes, Umma gave her permission and since she got her mother-in-law's permission, she didn't see the need to talk to her husband whom she hasn't been seeing around, about it.

Planting flowers, herbs, and mints has lightened up the darkness that engulfed her heart and that has also helped lessen the pain and loneliness she was supposed to feel; caused by her husband.
She made sure to plant a lot of mints from peppermint (mentha and Piperita), chocolate mints (f. Citrata chocolate), spearmints (mentha spicata), Corsican mint (mentha requienii), Apple mint (mentha suaveolens), pineapple mint (mentha suaveolens variegata), mojito or Cuban mint (mentha x villosa) to Margarita mints (mentha margarita) ... The joy from fulfilling one of her dreams was beyond any feeling.

She was so happy perceiving the minty scent from the garden and was grinning from ear to ear.
She wanted to plant more, but she could only plant these for the time being... She hopes to plant more with time in shaa Allah.

In as much as she wasn't happy with the way her marriage was going, she still believes, everything will be fine at the end of the day... All that it needs is time and she would give it.

She has always been a patient type, even this time, she would remain patient.

On the other hand, Habib spends most of the time with his parents in their apartment which made it crystal clear that he and his wife hasn't bonded yet. This realization caused discomfort to Umma and her husband Aman Dandachi, but they believe it's still that early stage in their marriage and eventually, everything will fall into place. Even though all this was going on, Umma still stayed by Heba's side, helping her with her plants even though she has got no idea about how to grow plants... all thanks to Heba, she was beginning to learn new things even at her age.

It's finally the day Jawaad would be coming back home and Habib couldn't be happier... Life has been lonely without his best friend and brother.
Even though most of the time, they have spent time on face timing each other during Jawaad's free time, Habib would prefer him to be on his side and listen to Jawaad's senseless talks. Lol.

Starting the day with the usual activities, Habib performed his morning prayers and immediately hit the gym.
Bussied himself on his stationary bicycle, Habib kept moving in motion in a way that strengthens his legs and lower body muscles, boasting his cardio fitness.
This is one of the exercises that he loves due to the benefits that come with it...

Still, in the action, he heard knocks from the door and he slightly shifted his gaze over to the doorstep as he watch a petite figure wrapped in a hijab walked into the gym house uttering a soft and almost inaudible taslim but was loud enough for his ear, answering without knowing exactly who it was, he stopped his movement and stretched his hands over to his glass carefully placed beside the center table close to him, being myopic, he finds it's difficult to see from afar without the help of his glasses, so he wore them and when the figure's face came in view, it was the radiant face of an undeniable beautiful lady walking in with teacup carefully covered on her hold as she made way closer to him.
