Hard times have found you, wrap my love around you, you never alone .

Where ever you follow, This isn't goodbye, my love will follow you,
Stay with you.baby you are never alone.

BADIA'S P.O.V

it's been five days since we are here. I know Abid and I are not here to spend our honeymoon as couples.

But at least I succeeded in making a friend out of him, that's a start.

Abid is my friend, he tries to make me happy as much as possible. But on my account abid has given me the best summer., the best holiday. I have now realise how much am fond of him. I hope one day he will love me back.
last night when Abid called me Mrs. Abid farouqi I felt like I was on cloud nine. I kept smiling on the memory.

I Brought out my veil and rolled my hijab. "Abid" I called out, "we are getting late hurry up".

Abid came out of the washroom. He was dress in denim jeans and a plain brown long sleeves , he looked breathtaking. I was staring at my golden angel, A man whom has given me a world full of colour and brought a smile to my face and made my little spirit jubilate without even trying.
His silence maybe narcissistic , but I've grown fond of it.
He didn't just give me a name but a new life , an expensive one.
I smiled to the word 'expensive '.

"Mrs. Abid , now tell me " he narrows his eyes and then continued "is it, the mall that we would be late for? "abid asked sarcastically.

He called me by his name again.
I begin to feel those butterflies again in my tummy.

Mrs .Abid, I was flattered.

"No dumb head , it's the time that we would be returning that am concerned about, we will be late" I scolded .

"worry about nothing Red "said Abid.

"Red" I yelled.

What's up with him calling me red, rather what's behind it, but how it sounded is sure lovely.

"off we go "said Abid ignoring me and dragging me out of the hotel room.

We arrived at the mall in no time.

we headed to the dress store where I pick a few dress for myself, Ruba and Maria and of course Abida. I saw a nice dress I really liked but it was way expensive .
for a moment i have forgetten that I was Mrs. Abid farouqi.
"what's wrong "asked Abid.

"nothing " I reply as I moved away from the dress . "Don't you like the dress" asked Abid.
"No" I lied.
It was a red frock with amazing patterns.

After that we left for a shoe shop where I fitted some shoes .
We shopped for two hours before I could find the perfect gift for ammi.
Afterwards , we left the mall.
on our way back , we branched the park where we spent the rest of the day before heading back home, I mean our suit.

After reaching home, I began to open the shopping bags and fixing the items into my boxes.

suddenly I felt a hand over my eyes, I shivered in fear at first before realizing the only person it could be is none other than abid.

"Abid " i said trying not to Choke.
"Don't open your eyes " said Abid as he retrieves his hands from my eyes.

I nodded in agreement.

Abid handed me a leather bag and asked me to open my eyes. My eyes went wide when I saw the red frock.

I was speechless "you shouldn't have".

Nonsense said Abid.
"why shouldn't I buy my friend what she wants" said Abid.
"I saw the way you were looking at the frock and I new how much you wanted it. I could do this much for my red can't I".
Why couldn't he notice how I looked at him but this frock, I shrugged the feeling off my mind.
I was so thankful that I became speechless. He called me his Red. 'Red!!' I coo and blushed.

I had no idea why he calls me that , but I loved it. I love being call Red more than a friend. A friend is too common but Red ,Red is special I thought.

"Abid thanks , it means alot" I finally admitted

"from now on Red , when you see something you like, just use my credit card. feel free".

"Thanks Abid.."

I hugged him. It felt warm.

......
The next day, I had a call from Ruba telling me it's Abid birthday tomorrow and that I should help her get Abid gift from the post office , her and ammi had sent it. I was so shock.
tomorrow is Abid birthday and I had no idea. I thought I was his friend and friends do tell one another everything.
I can't believe he didn't tell me this. well tomorrow is his day and I can't spoil that, After that I will scold him for not telling me.

"Red come over here " said Abid .
"No am busy ", I gave him an excuse and sat by the mirror.,making out my plans for Abids birthday." yes" I shouted like a mad lady. I closed my mouth in realisation.

I made a few calls as I have already started following out with my plans.

I was up and about when Abid walked in.
" hey come sit "I almost ordered.

Abid obeyed with no complains.

Abid you aren't busy now", I asked

"yes , why "replied Abid.

"I just want us to play a game" my eyes plea.

"You and your silly games" he rolled his eyes.

"what are you up to now "asked Abid?

"nothing. let's play" I ordered.

"ok "agreed Abid.
This went much other easy than I thought.

" here's how the game goes, I ask you a few questions and you reply and vice versa . It's a ask fifty question game, got it". I said after explaining how the game goes.

"i will go first "I request.

"sure, ladies first "winked abid.

"my question",

"What kind of music are you into "I asked.

Abid looked puzzled by my sudden interest in him. I guess.

"I like blues :replied abid. "ok another question what's your favourite animal" I asked.
"lion , because of how courageous and fearless they are "replied Abid

"what's your favourite weapon". I asked again

Abid burst into laughing and called out" weapon".

"what "I frown.

"first you start to ask me silly question and now you are asking me about my favourite weapon. Do I look like a fighter.. hahaha "

I frowned but definitely not feeling stupid .
"I thought the game goes by turns, why do you keep asking me question" complained Abid.
I raised my brow at him.
"Ok,ok ,it's bomerang".
He said observing my sudden change of mood.

I don't need your answer , I stood up pretending to be angry and layed on the bed ignoring Abid teases and apologies.
