We have finally reached the airport. I feel like this is the best car trip I have been on. I don't know if it has to do with Ahlam in my embrace or how tempting she smells.

Seeing her cry breaks my heart. But the moment she hugged me, I was willing to make her forget all her pains. She was so delicate and fragile. I didn't want to hurt her by squeezing her. I felt happy that she found peace in me.

Her perfumes hitting my nostrils made me think of doing uncomfortable things. She smells so nice wallahi. My chin on her hair making me smell the lavender shampoo she uses. Everything about her is just amazing.

I almost lost my mind when she called me baby" yeah I know she was joking but the way it roll out from her tongue just made me loss conscious and right way of thinking.

Jamal parked the car and went out to make enquiry about the jet. Mike is outside receiving fresh air I guess. I opened the door of my own side of the car. My legs was on the door while Ahlee was on her phone.

She took me off guard when she came back to my embrace. I lost my balance but regain it. She wrapped her hands around my torso and laid her head on my chest. Her veil was open and her hair has this shining stones on it. I wonder how they places it there.

Skeptically I looked at her. Adjusting my legs on the door again. She seems quite comfortable without saying a word to me. I wrapped my arms around her and she snuggled further Anya lafiyan ta kuwa I thought.

"I want to sleep". She said with her eyes closed.

"But we are leaving now".

"Mmm when the PJ is ready wake me". Her eyes were still closed.

Do I like how comfortable she is around me ? Yes absolutely. Is she making me loose my mind? That too is a yes.

The car was dead silent with only the breeze from the open door entering still holding My wife in my embrace and feeling the serenity of halal hugs.

Yes I have hugged people before but this right here is different from all the feeling I had. Infact I don't think i used to have a feeling when hugging but right now I think my heart is screaming just like the way they do it in cartoons.

"Waddup peo.." Annoying Kausie

"Shhhhhh she is sleeping" I cut her off immediately.

"Uwwwwn you guys look so cute Allahumma Bareek". She whispered wiping imaginary tears.

She got into the front to wish I rolled my eyes because why is she even here in the first palace. She brought out an iPhone 11 and snapped us.

"Smile mana yaya, kaman baka so". Remind me to kill this girl later please. I ignore her and place my head on Ahlam's and the closed my eyes. I heard shutters perhaps from these orphan my Ammie helped.

30 minutes later Ahlam is deep in slumber with soft breaths coming from her. Kausar was sitting in the front seat legs on the dash board holding her phone. She wore a jeans trouser and white baggy tee shirt and white sneakers with her scarf neatly tied. Am happy that she finally decide to take the quiet pill.

"Aryan the plane is ready we can leave". Jamal in his casual fit trousers and long sleeve shirts tugged in. I simply nod.

"Barci take yi ne is she sleeping". Again I nod like a lizard.

Kausar was already out of the car. I was still looking for words to wake Ahlam . She seems tired and I don't want to ruin her sleep.

"Sai ka dauke ta ai then carry her". Jamal
