SHIFA SALEEM

I wake up and glance at the clock which is in the bed-strand, 4.15 a.m, Azan just got over.

Suddenly it struck me while wriggling to get up from the bed, I was sleeping with a man beside me. It's so unfamiliar since this is the first time i'm waking up with him beside me.

His arm is wrapped around me.

I remove his hand from mine slowly and place it on the bed so that till i pray he will get his sleep and later i'll wake him up, but he says in his sleepy voice "Don't go". He groans.

A giggle forms within me, "I won't, I won't. It's time for fajr prayer, get up." I say but no response.

"Wake up hubbyyy it's fajr time!" I say in a mimicking way. He eyes jolts open looking at me. He flips me over, me below him and him on the top. "I would like to hear you say 'hubby' while doing that. Would you Princess?" He asks almost making it like an order.

I get goosebumps hearing it from him. Seeing him stare at my cheeks I'm pretty sure he noticed the blush which might've formed. "Sabah-Al-Khair my amira." He says. "Sabah-Al-Khair amir." I reply he looks at me stunned.

[Amir=Prince
Amira=Princess]

"Oh, my amira knows few arabic words, that's good to hear." He says leaning towards me kissing my forehead as i close my eyes taking over his gentle kiss. His hand reach my neck, Ack!! not there.

I push him and get up from the bed. "I'm gonna pray." I notice him smirking as i awkwardly walk over to the washroom while his eyes fixed on me.

After my ablution i exit the washroom to pray and there he is, standing right infront me leaning on the doorframe.

"Don't start praying, I'll join you. Gimme a min." He says and rushes over to the washroom to perform ablution.

I wear my praying cloth and wait for him, soon he joins with me as we pray and recite the Quran together.

"It's 5.30 right now, We can get a sleep because we slept late yesterday night." He states as we get into the bed. He covers me with him in the blanket coming closer to me.

Suddenly he wraps me again with his big arm making me flinch by the sudden move, i get more comfortable around him now, and his arm already feels soo good.

"It doesn't hurt?" I inquire. "Not at all amira, it wouldn't hurt if it's you." He says giving me the innocent and a giddy smile. I giggle and i see him tilting to me confused.

"Ahem, ahem it's just that i'm not used to you being like this. You know, you always have that rough and cold-expression within you most of the time. So i'm not used to it." I say.

"Then you gotta get used to this side of me, my halal little mouse." He says making me remember that he's my dear-stalker who i cursed a lot.

Hiding my face between his arm i state ; "I'm mad at you. You could've atleast told me all that before our marriage."

"Be mad all you want, but i'm still sleeping, with you in my arms." He says as i glance at him just to realize he was already smirking, he enjoys teasing me a lot. Oh godd!!

After awhile we both fall asleep and we wake up at 9 as the after wedding festive's starts.

Author's Note:

After the wedding, we mallus would gather at bride's house as all the groom and his family would be there playing games, teasing and demanding from the groom. That night, the bride would be staying at her house while the groom will have to return to his house. The next day, groom would go to the bride's to pick her up and they would visit both their family memeber's house as a guest. At last, the groom and bride would settle on the house. In kannur and few other cities in kerala, usually it's the groom who would be staying at the bride's house. But in few other city it's the bride staying at groom's just like other state in India and other countries. It's a cultural thing in kannur (city in kerala) where groom would be the one staying the bride's. So don't feel anything while reading the chapter ahead. But in this story i'll change their circumstances so they would get their own private hehehe.
