Chapter 37

F A R A H

It took me a minute to register what just happened.

Did he just ignore me?

My lips form an 'O' seeing Aunt confused gaze on me. Did I say it out loud?

I ate my breakfast in silence, thanking Allah for providing us with food and shelter.

"Farah I will be stepping out for a bit can you help me with the dishes," Aunt said from the kitchen.

"Okay Aunt," I answered back, packing the plates in front of me and took them to the kitchen. Since today is a work-free day, washing the dishes won't be a problem.

After I'm done with the dishes, I took Jawad's laptop and search for some movies finding none.

What's the use of buying the laptop when he's not going to use it.

I connect my phone's internet with the laptop searching for Frozen 2. I downloaded it immediately.

My mind is occupied with what I'm watching I didn't even notice someone sitting beside me. My eyes widen in surprise.

"When did you come back?" I asked him.

"You were busy with your movie how would you know the time I came back." He said back folding his hands across his chest. I resist the urge to roll my eyes.

"What's that suppose to mean?."

"I don't know." He shrugged.

"What's the name of the movie you're watching," he said again.

"I know you won't know the name since you don't watch movies that much but it's called Frozen."

"What told you I don't watch movies, I watched a lot of movies and why are you using my laptop." He ushered back.

"I see that you rarely used it so..." I trailed off.

"I need to rest a bit, I'm so tired." He said standing up. "And I won't be cooking tonight."

What?

I was literally waiting for night to come to eat his food and now he's saying he won't cook.

After I'm done with the movie, I decided to call Myrah I suddenly missed her. She picked up at the first ring.

"Hey girl what's up?." She cheerfully said from the other end.

"Fine I just missed you so I decided to call you, how's over little baby and Khalid?"

"Little baby is doing just fine he's even kicking telling me to greet his Aunt Farah and Khalid he's good he just stepped out now." I let out a sigh.

"Did I just sense something?" She asked.

"No nothing," I answered quickly.

"Farah I don't know what to say to you again, Jawad told me everything," "seriously are you a kid? You already know how he feels about you then what's stopping you, don't let him get away from you while you're busy ignoring him"

"I know you love him, follow your heart." This time around there was no joke in her tone. The line went quiet for a while, not knowing what to say.

"Are you there?" She said.

"Yes"

"Please Farah don't let him suffer like this, take your relationship to the next level. I want to see little Farah and little Jawad." She teased. I felt shy by her words.

What will it be like to hold my child in my arms?

"I have to go, Khalid, is back, think about what I said, the next time you call I want to hear good news." She said and the line went quiet.
