My Mistake - Episode 12

Two weeks Later

Aysha stood by the kitchen island, busy preparing Fadeel's breakfast. She had even cut her finger in the process all in an attempt to finish cooking before he leaves. Fadeel has changed since the first week of their marriage___that wasn't what she wanted, nor was it what she expected from him. And that pill? Whenever she tries asking about it he shuns the topic___and she didn't want to keep pestering him so as not to annoy him. But for how long will she keep holding unto his shitty attitude?

He always come back late from work and leave as early as possible in the morning. Even on weekends when she expect him to stay and have a few hours with her. The late night calls___the frequent outings and so on. Even with all these happening__Aysha was still happy she married the love of her life.

She sighed heavily as she finished arranging the dining table. Turing to go into their bedroom, she stopped on her tracks as soon as she saw him coming out.

"Come on, am so sorry. I'm on my way already okay? Don't get angry please." 

Who is he speaking to? Aysha wondered. She saw him pass by her as he raise his hand and wave at her still talking on phone. What? Isn't he going to have breakfast?

She ran behind him almost tripping and falling down

. He was about to get into his car when she stopped him.

"You didn't have your breakfast." She managed to say, her breath hitching from running.

He adjusted his seat belt before looking up at her "Do i look like am hungry to you?"

Her brows cressed in confusion. What is with this new attitude of his of skipping breakfast?

"What do you mean? I woke up early in the morning just to make breakfast for you and you're being all shitty right now?" She bellowed angrily___wondering where and how she found the courage to shout at the love of her Iife. "Do i look like a maid to you that I'll wake up as early as possible to cook while you skip it and tell me some sort of Bullshits? You did same thing yesterday and now you're repeating it again. Why?"

Fadeel removed his seat belt and came out of the car, grabbing hold of her hand___he dragged her inside the house to avoid the quizzical look given to them by the gate man and wash man.

Closing the door behind them, Fadeel pushed her against the door and glared at her angrily.

"Don't you dare ever try to shout at me. Don't. Ever. try. It. Again!" He said through gritted teeth.

Aysha suddenly got scared, and wished she had not made him this angry.

"I...i...a...m..sorry" she blurted, tears already in her eyes "I was just angry that you weren't going to have the breakfast i suffered to prepare."

He let go of her before moving back, smiling at her.

"You are pathetic Aysha, very very pathetic." And with that he pushed her away from the door and left.

Aysha went down on her knees crying, regretting the fact that she shouted at him. She shouldn't have, she chastise herself. She should have avoided everything that'll make him angry towards her___yet now, she had just messed up everything.

It was late afternoon by the time she finished her chores while Amirah sat down in the living room watching a korean movie. She didn't offer to help Aysha nor did Aysha asked for help.

She sat by her side as she sipped water from the bottle.

"I'm too tired, and what happened in the morning is still disturbing me. How will i make it up to him?" Aysha said worriedly.

"Make it up? Girl why are you so dumb and stupid? He was the one who hurt you and yet you're the one planning to make it up___like seriously? How dumb and stupid are you really?" Amirah said, feigning anger. All she wants is to push Aysha into fighting with Fadeel everyday while she work out on making Fadeel hurt Aysha the more___making him believe that Aysha has and will always be stupid.

"What do you mean?"

"I mean you should fight for your rights. Fight him if you have to and don't apologize even if you're the one at fault. If you keep showing him your weak point he'll make your life a living hell___you better stand up and fight for your rights."

"But that'll only make him more angry" Aysha said in a worried tone.

"He'll get used to it. Trust me, just start fighting back."

"Hmmn" Aysha hummed, not really believing she'll make Fadeel angry more. No she won't___and she can't.

"Also, try finding out what that pill is about before it's too late. Come to think of it__what type of pill will he always give you in her heated moment like that?" Amirah asked cunningly.

Aysha was silent, deep in thoughts as she tries to understand what that pill is all about.

"Oh No!" Amirah yelled, her hand on her lips as she looked shocked "it shouldn't be what am thinking!"

"What? What are you talking about?"

"What if those pills are pregnancy pills? You know, pills that stop a woman from conceiving a baby?"

"What? No! Fadeel won't do that to me." She said in a low voice, her body shaking vehemently.

Amirah smiled happily and quickly typed a quick message to Fadeel.

'I think we are going to get rid of her sooner than we thought. Have started planting the idea of the pregnancy pills and i think she won't take it lightly this time around no matter how much she loves you. Cheers to our upcoming victory Darling."

"What pills will he give you other than that at a moment like that miss? Don't be a dummy Aysha."

Aysha was speechless and had been thinking of the possibility of what Amirah is saying. What if what she said is true? What would she do?

"If what i said happens to be true, you need to end this marriage Aysha. You can't let hin destroy you at a young age like this___By Allah you need to fight him and end this marriage before it's too late."

Could she really end this marriage just because of pregnancy pills? She knows he might have his reasons__so she'll listen to them first before deciding.

"Thank you for always being a nice Friend Amirah___what would i have done without you? Thank you very much."

"You're welcome my Dear."

Fadeel stepped into the house as his nose inhaled the sweet smell of Room freshener.

. Looking around, he noticed the living room was looking as clean and beautiful as always. This is one of the reasons he think he can endure living together with Aysha__her cleanliness.

He stepped into their room and saw her by the mirror, applying some perfumes on her body as her black and shiny hair bounce behind her from her movements. He cleared his throat in an attempt to make her know of his presence and stepped Completely into the room.

"Welcome!" She squealed happily as she hugged him tight, as if she wasn't the one who yelled at him in the morning. Seeing she had let go of everything, Fadeel also hugged her back before kissing her hair and nuzzling his nose at the crook of her neck.

"How was work? You tired right? Take a warm shower and have dinner so you can rest comfortably okay?"

"Okay." he replied, as she tried to pull back while he held her in position "Aren't you forgetting something Miss?" He asked raising one of his brows as his hand roam around her petite body.

"Something like?" she asked, a little bit confused.

"This" and he sealed their lips together before letting go of her completely. Aysha smiled shyly before leaving the room.

They ate dinner in silence, Fadeel dreading the moment she'll talk about those pills. Even though they got married without him loving her___he had now gotten used to having her around him. The only problem is that he is not in love with her__and is also not ready to be a father.

She didn't talk about it till they were about to sleep. And when she did, his heart missed a beat thinking she'll ask for her divorce paper.

"Are you sure that is the reason not because you don't want to have kids with me right? You're just not ready to be a father right?"

"Right. I want to take Care of you like the princess you are before we have kids that's why. Sorry for not telling you soon."

"Is that really what you want?"

"Yes."

"Then am okay with it. I'll keep taking the pills if that'll make you happy."
