Being his halal

Chapter fourteen.

Hatina's POV.

I wake up with a killing pain in my stomach, not knowing what it was. I've been having these series of short lasting pains about a couple of days before but decided to shrug it off.

My stomach hurts like my intestinal glands are shrinking. I stood to adjust my sleeping position, thought it was because of that, but rather it became worse.

I look outside through the glassy window to see that the morning light hasn't even set, then took my legs to check the time, it was 3:30am in the morning.

The pain became harder, that was the time I realized it was that time of the month.

"Oh no, Ya Allah".

I rushed over to the bathroom to quickly sort my self out and came out. But upon that the pain didn't stop. This always happen every time of the month, I usually get bad cramps.

I went back to bed trying to sleep, but couldn't.

"Hey, are you okay". Annur said rising up.

"Yes I'm fine just didn't get in the right position of sleeping". I lied to him, I don't want to tell him, I was to shy too.

It was 5:00am and I still haven't gotten sleep since I woke up. I saw the time and knew it was time for fagr. I woke annur up and told him to go perform ablution. He looked at me surprised because I always use to take my ablution first.

Some minutes later he was out of the bathroom, I paced my lazy legs down to the bathroom and shutting the door.

"Hatina are you okay" annur said, I could detect a voice a worry in his speaking.

" I'm fine, just pray without me before the time goes".

" okay" he said. I was so happy he didn't question me for not coming.

I screamed in pain and I'm sure annur heard because I could hear him complete his salat.

"Hatina, what's wrong". He asked again.

I yelled again in pain this time more louder.

" hatina, I'm coming in right now". Annur said.

He came in and saw me lying on the floor in pain.

" hatina, hatina what's wrong". He said picking me up and carrying me to the bed.

" I.... Ya Allah.. annur, I... I ". I couldn't say. So good my pride won't let me.

"Don't be like this, talk".

"Anuur... Its um... You see whenever its this time of the month, I usually get really bad cramps".

" what.. I don't understand you, what cramps".

"Spare me this attitude, c'mon you know" I said grinning my teeth in pain. That's the thing with cramps they can change your whole persona.

"This isn't the time for jokes hatina, I seriously don't know". He said as I rolled in pain on his laps.

"Its this time of the month where I'm off salat". I said.

"Ohh" he said in surprise. "You mean your period".

"Yes that". I don't know why but I always feel unpleasant when talking about this topic.

" you should have said something". He said.

"I just did annur, I really get bad period cramps".

"So what can I do, what drug should I get".

"I hate taking drugs, with time I'll feel relieved". I said yelling again.

"I doubt that, hatina you're In pain".

"Okay, okay, just get me hot water and a towel with pain killers".

"Okay, lye slowly, I'll be right back". He puts me slowly on the bed while the gets up. Within some minutes annur was back.

" hey, here they are" he sits by my side." "Tell me what to do"

"Okay, wrap the towel around the hot water bottle and place it on my stomach"

He did That and said "will I place it on you with your clothes there".

I Looked at him evilly before saying "am not removing my top annur".

"Am not asking you to, just raise it up".

He was kind of right I had no choice. I did what he said and looked down at belly, I don't know if he was admiring it or what. Before placing the hot towel water on it.

"Now pass me the pills"I said.

" just breathe okay, I'm here" he drops the pills back on the table and comes to join me.

"Ya Allah, Ya Allah", I said standing up and holding my tommy.

Annur stood up with me as he held me. "you're sweating real serious, are you cold?".

"No, I'm feeling hot, like really hot" I said honestly. I just hope he doesn't feel like I'm a pest, I'm depriving him of sleep.

"Um, okay,remove your top". He says getting up from the bed and I turn to look at him in shock.

"What?" He said with a questionable look.

"I won't". When he said that a thought ran through me. He's my husband for God's sake.

"Well it not me, its you, now do it before you die of heat". He said while turning on the AC.

I doubted before I could do anything. Annur hasn't see that part of me, but its not like anything is gonna happen, after all he's my husband.

"Fine" I did that and guess what I was left with only my bra I wore that morning. He finally got what he wanted.

"Holy s**t" he said gazing his eyes on my chest.

"Annur" I shouted while using the blanket to cover my chest.

"Oh sorry its.... Its just... Never mind" he stutter a couple of times before coming back to his senses. " how are you feeling now" he asked.

"Am better, thank you" I said smiling. All my body needed was just air. I was too hot from the beginning, it just needed that cool.

We sat there in the room talking and annur made me laugh and feel better with his so called jokes and experience.

"Annur, when are we going back to new York" I said asking him. We've been here for three weeks now. Which means our marriage is officially a month.

"Why are you asking? Are you a tired of this place already, you seem to enjoy it".

"No, I really love this place, its just that, my friend haleema, the one i told you about that I was going to see, she's getting married and I have to attend her wedding". I said but a small frown came across my face when I remembered what happened that night. But it was all better now since annur said he will never contact her again.

"What's wrong" he said. I didn't even realize he noticed my frown.

"Its nothing, just another short pain". I lied.

"Oh okay, sorry. we'll leave when you want".

" thank you". I said before continuing "Okay, how about in a weeks time" I said so that means it will be remaining 3 weeks to haleema's wedding and I'll have more time to spend in Paris before going back.

"That's fine by me". He said caressing my cheek, I let out a giggle and he smiled Looking at me blush.
