A Muslim Tale

Chapter 38

I don't plan on spending time with that 'model in my house. I don't really know what the hell she's gonna do considering Amir's not even here. She needs help. Fast.

My phone rings and I quickly pick up.

"Salam Alaykum" He says. I smile to myself.

"Walaikumsalam."

"How are you sweetheart?" He asks.

"Good. Are you having fun?"

"Of course. How's my baby doing." I turn to look at Saima doodling away.

"Good. She's drawing."

"Is that so?"

"Now tell me sweetheart, miss me?"

"Just a little." I tease and I hear him laugh huskily.

"How sweet. Sadly I don't miss you even a little. Although I miss the little one."

"Good you shouldn't be thinking about me anyway. You're meant to focus on Allah so don't feel bad. Okay?" I say with a smug smile.

"Who said I felt bad?"

I don't respond realizing I lost.

"What's the matter baby? Are you sad?" He asks trying to tease me.

"No." I say laughing and he laughs as well. I'm not that desperate.

"Okay give the phone to my baby."

I walk over to saima and hold the phone out for her.

"papa wants to speak with you. You want to talk to him don't you Saimu?" I say pinching her cheeks and she grabs the phone to me and puts it on her ear like an adult.

"good!" she says laughing.

"I miff you too"She says swaying side to side smiling. She looks so cute. She looks at me.

"papa says." She says and puts the phone on her ear.

"I-"

"he " She pauses.

"wuvs"

"you!" She shouts giggling.

"Tell him I don't"

"she say no.papa."

"mkay." She looks at me and points at me.

"meanie!" She shouts and I laugh and lift her up.

"can mummy talk to him now?" I ask.

"hmm otay."

"thank you Saimu."

"I wuv you papa." She says shyly. For some reason she gets really shy on the phone. It's adorable.

"Hello. "

"Hello? Amir are you there?" I ask.

"Yeah I'm here. I'm just listening to your voice."

"You know I don't like my voice. You don't need to rub it in you know."

I hear him chuckle.
"I like the sound of your voice. It's beautiful"
I feel my cheeks heat up.
"You're blushing sweetheart"
"You can't even see me"
"I know."
"You have a smug smirk planted on your face don't you."
"You can't see me."
"Still. I just know. "
"Exactly."
"By the way, Sanam's here" I say.
"That's nice. Did you find that couch set you wanted?"
"No. Not yet. I'll just wait for you to come we'll go see together."
"Of course of course you love me that much."
"No. I love you much more thean that."
"Oh? How much more?"
"Hm. So much that it's impossible to count."
"Then I guess I should start counting now"
"You won't finish."
"Is that so?"
"Yeah."
"If you were here I would just give you a big fat hug"
I let out a small laugh.
"Your laugh is just as beautiful"
I begin to blush even more. God this guy is going to turn me into a tomato soon.
"I should go. Time to pray. Guess what!"
"What!"
"I'm the muaddin (calling out to prayer) well for the next two days."
"Really! "
"Really. I also lead Salah for fajr."
"Wow. Earn those good deeds." I say and he laughs.
"I will. We'll take each other to paradise."
I blush.
"Inshallah."
"Then we'll be together forever"
"We will." I say
"Okay Ruhi. I have to go. Give my little baby extra love for me."
"What about Sanam."
"Um I don't know. Okay Ma Salama! I love you."
"I love you too"

I really do love him.

"I hungwy" Saima says tugging on my dress.

"Oh gosh I'm sorry Saimu. Come on." I say lifting her up and heading down.

"I miss you too. "

"Yeah but I think I'll switch hotels."

"Okay bye. " Sanam says.
What is happening.

"What're you doing?" I ask walking into the kitchen.

"What I can't talk to my fiancé?" She asks and my mouth litterly just hangs open. Fiancé?

"What? You didn't know I'm engaged?"
"No! Then why were you threatening me !"
She laughs a throaty womanly laugh. God even her laugh is irritating me.

I spread some Nutella on a roti and roll it up and give it to Saima.

"Saima go sit in the living room." I say turning to Sanam.

"Oh Amira. You're so naive." She says walking slowly and then she stops.

"You don't really think I'm gonna marry Amir do you? When he has a kid and he'll be divorced."
"What. You're not making any sense."
"Silly you. I'm just gonna separate the two of you. Did you really think I'm still in love with him? Honey this isn't a movie I'm not some obsessed women. After years you think I'll marry him? Gross. He's got a child now and he's divorced. Do you think I'm crazy?"

Okay that I did...Not expect.

"You're so easy to fool. By the way." She says looking at me deviously.

"Do you remember Samantha?" She asks.

What! How does she know her!

"That's right she's also a friend of mine. Have any idea why she stayed with Amir? But you clever little devil you didn't let him go did you?

You trapped him with your innocence. And now I'm gonna take things into my own hands. "

Okay. Woah. Woah. Woah! Damn she's a lot better than I thought.
"Surprised?"

But how's that even possible! She didn't even remember her name!

"Now if you'll excuse me. I can't stay here. I have to wait for my toy to come here so I can show you who you messed with." She says heading towards the door with her hand bags.

"He's not a toy! He's my husband." I shout shutting the door on her.

I don't know if this makes it any better? I mean before I thought she was doing this for herself but now she's trying to mess around? Is that how bad her life is? She has to butt in , in other peoples lives?

Yep she's not crazy.. She needs a reality check.

"I don't wann it." Saima says holding her half chewed roti which she unwrapped. And she even licked off the Nutella!

"Saima! And your dad's telling me to give you extra love!"

"I'm gonna put Nutella on again and your gonna finish your roti right in the kitchen table where I can see you." I say lifting her up with her sticky roti in my hand.

"Wiff milk?" She asks and I smile.

"As long as you finish it."

"Otay!" She says grabbing my face and planting a big kiss on my cheek. Great now I had chocolate all over my cheeks too.

"Yow all duwty" she says pointing to my cheek.
