"I might not be in when you return" amir said as he watched us enter the car.
"so what exactly do you want to buy"maria suddenly asked as we got down from the car.
"we won't take long"i said facing the driver.
"what about we do clothes first"
"anything you say"
"I don't think this looks good on me, I look like I am getting old"i said looking at my self in the mirror.
"this is the fifth one you're trying on and you have not even picked any"
"I have problem choosing"i said pouting.
"then just pack all the clothes in the store"
"are you getting angry already" I said moving towards her wrapping my hand around her.
"what about we check the male section"i said smiling.
********************
"do you think he will like this" I said looking at the wristwatch
"you are his wife now,you need to start making decisions"
"why do you just never give me straight answers"i said smiling.
"it's getting late we need to go"maria said after sometime.
"hey you little one what's wrong"i said looking at the young girl holding a bunch of flower in front of the store.
"I have just this flower but no one will buy it and my mum is sick and we need to buy her drugs"
"oh, aunt do you still have some money with you"
"take this dear and you can keep the flower"
"thanks alot aunt"she said smiling so wide.
"aunt"she called as I turned to go.
"please accept the flower from me"she pouted
"who will refuse such cutie"i smiled collecting it from her.
"thank you dearie"
****************************
"what is that"aunt asked curiously as I placed it down on the table.
"from the little girl"
"I don't think Amir will want to see it"
"why"
"he is allergic"
"but I just can't throw it away, it wont be nice"
"I will make sure he doesn't see it, don't worry"
******************************
"As anyone seen the documents I left here"amir said rushing inside and I couldn't help but ran from the room.
"what is this thing doing here!!!! "Amir screamed as I wondered what he was talking about then I remember that it was the flower. I had intended to put it in the store room but I totally forget.
"Alima!!!"
I didn't know why but I suddenly felt a bit of fright creeping into me. Amir then began to sneeze really bad and I suddenly felt guilty.
"who left this thing here"
"I really don't know sir"
"I...I was the one"i slowly said.
"Alima get this thing out of here"
"and you Amina, you shouldn't just bring anything inside you should ask"
"I am...."before I could say the word he stormed out of the room"
*********************
"did things go bad"
I turned to see who it was and it was aunt Maria.
"yeah, I guess so"
"he will calm down dear just take things easy"she said hugging me tightly.
******************
I went up to the room as I really wanted to be alone. I answered my phone call as I realized it had been beeping for sometime.
"hey, it's Yasmin"
"how is everyone at home doing"
"everyone is sending their greetings"
"how is honeymoon going"
I waited for sometime before responding.
"I don't know,fine I guess"
"I really , really miss you guys"
"Mina, Amir's parents already paid I and Zayn's university tuition and also promised to get papa a job in one of their companies"
"why didn't you guys tell me all this before accepting it"
"Mina, we needed it so much and Papa knew you might not agree to it so he didn't tell you"
"but I deserved to know"
"he is your husband right? It just makes it appropriate"
"Yasmin, I don't know but I don't want to owe anyone"
"they are your family now"
"remember to say thank you to Amir for us"
"I will call later, papa needs me"
"bye"
I don't know but I don't have a good feeling about this and it feels awkward. They didn't have to I was going to start a job immediately we got back home.
The door suddenly cracked open interrupting my thought.
"I am sorry about today"i suddenly said.
"my cousin will be coming to the country and since he has no where to stay he will be staying with us"
"I thought this was supposed to be our honeymoon"
"yes and it still is"he said before pulling over the blanket,turning is head away from me.
I also tilted my head to the other side, we slept again in the same awkward way we have been sleeping. Why do I feel like I am Married but living Single.
