Chapter 21: Part 2:

It's show time.

I tip-toed my way across the house, even though I didn't need to but hell did it feel sneaky... I really needed to get over my kid side soon enough, but for now I stuck with it. Who knows what kinds of stories I'll be telling my grandkids in the next few decades.

The mention of grandkids...more like kids startled me.

Anyways, the house was quiet, as usual this morning. Everyone was put to pray or shopping as usual for the upcoming month of fasting. Aka RAMADAN!

So as I approached the door that led to the back patio, the sound of laughter filled my ears. Sarah's laughter. And Danyal's voice agreeing with her.

Anum was also there, I just knew it.

I bit my lip and forced the suddenly forming fire to burn out of my stomach. I didn't know why I got perked up so easily, but it was alone enough that Sarah would know I'm a back off zone.

Then again, It was all fake, I reminded myself. The plan, it would never come true. Or not.
What if it became real? What if everything I feared would happen does happen?
Since the beginning of everything with Danyal and Anum, mostly everything was fake. Wasn't it? When could I ever live in truth now?

When could the relationship Danyal and I had become a strong one? I was trying, I really was. And maybe that try was the reason that I couldn't admit to myself - but I actually did like him.

I mean duh I have to like him, I'm married to him.

But this was the kind of like that was a puppy crush.

Ew ohmygod I sound like a little girl. I wondered again if I ever had a crush on him when I WAS a little girl...

Shoving those thoughts out of my mind, I focused on the here and now.

As I stated at the door, a forbidden idea popped into my mind. More like an idea that involved me going inside the forbidden room. I remembered strictly how Anum had told me to be away from this part of the plan, but hey, I was both curious and protective...Of someone who I won't name...just because. So I mustered all the Misha I had left in me, and turned the door knob, heaving the door open.

All eyes fell on me as I made my way inside and closed the door behind me
The first pair of eyes that I saw was Anum.

Her face said: what the f**** are you doing here? As I glanced around, more totally welcoming faces turned to me.

Sara's face held an irked look, yet a defiant one as well as she glanced at Danyal and smiled.

I almost picked up the rake beside the door and ripped her ugly eyeballs out.

But thankfully, the last person in the room, Danyal, was looking at me with an amused look on his face.

I imagined it to actually be a goofy grin, the one I barely got from him these days with all the drama going on. My lips instinctively smashed close Into a line, and smile broke onto my face. A moronic smile to be honest...

"Hi Misha!" Anum broke the silence with an overly high pitched welcome.
My gaze snapped her way, and I nodded.

"Sup." I waved to her.

Danyal choked inward some kind of laughter, and out of the corner of my eye I saw Sarah roll her eyes very, very slightly. As soon as she had rolled them did she shrug herself off and throw on a smile.
