Jamila - Episode 10

Jamila’s  pov 

I walked closer to where she was sitting 

‘’Okay, how about helping you do the washing’’

‘’Really’’

She asked happily

‘’I will be glad to help if you ask’’ I answered and sat down beside her.
But first we have to arrange the sitting room

She looked around "where do we start?

“Just watch me” I answered 

I started by picking all the cloths together taking them outside, took all the plates to the kitchen which is somehow messy too.
I asked Mrs. Castle to start by washing the cloths outside while I face the kitchen.  She agreed willingly to my surprise

I tried my best not to change the arrangement of the sitting room but just arranged them including the children’s room. I washed all the pots and plates in the kitchen.

I looked around and heaved a sigh of relief.
‘’At last I achieved something today’’ I whispered to myself.
‘’I have to go outside and see how far she has gone with washing the cloths’’ I thought.
I went outside but caught her staring in space.

. Castle POV

I peeped from the window to see the wonder this lady did to our house

. It amazed me the way she did that with ease.

‘’I wish I can do this again’’ I thought as my mind wondered off to the good old days with my husband.

I am a complete house wife who always works hard to keep my family clean. I clean the house, wash the cloths and plates. At first, my husband always admires me for that, showering me with all sorts of gifts. Sometimes food, cloth…anything I want except allowing me to work.

‘’Babe please, I want us to talk’’ that was me getting my husband’s attention at night.

He cuddled me and kissed my forehead.

‘’Alright, babe I’m listening’’

I turned and faced him.

‘’What do you think I should do with my certificate?’’ I asked almost close to tears.

He hugged me.

‘’Not again babe, we have been over this like a million times. I don’t want you to suffer while I can provide for everybody in this house’’

I sniff

‘’Come on, don’t cry. You are so special to me that I wouldn’t want any harm come your way. Just relax and enjoy my affection’’ 

‘’But, I want to work. Go out every morning like a normal wife….?’’

He kissed me cutting off whatever I’m about to say which is not important to him.

I refused opening my lips but he never gave up until I surrendered and that was the last day we talked about my working.

The next day, he organized an urgent trip for us and that was how I begot my last child “Amala”.

I smiled at the thought.
“Blissful and beautiful old days when love was still in the air”

‘’Hey’’ came a voice beside me.

I looked up and found Jamila looking at me concerned.

I smiled at her.

‘’Have you finished already’’?

‘’Yes I have and I am here to help you’’ she answered and started washing with me.

‘’Thank you’’ I half muttered.

She looked at me as if surprised of what I said.

‘’What are friends for but promise me of one thing’’

Yes what is it? I answered ready to promise her anything.

‘’Always try as much as possible to keep that house in the way it is now and secondly, whenever your husband comes back never exchange words with him okay’’

I looked at her as if she is crazy.

‘’I understood the one of keeping the house in order but not replying that b-tch whenever he gets on my nerve is something I cannot promise’’

I made to say a very big ‘’NO’’ but the look on her face discouraged me.

  ‘’I promise’’ I heard myself whisper.

She hugged me happily smearing the foamy substance on my wrapper. She excused herself when a call came into her phone. I guess it’s her Mom from the way she grins from ear to ear before she shouted ‘’Mom congratulations!!!’’

I wish she will always be by my side even when the father of my kids is around.

I raised my head from washing and realized that she is gone but what I saw almost made me run mad.
