THE GIFT OF A BABY
FIVE YEARS LATER
"Good morning, darling," Saleem uttered, tapping his wife who opened her eyes and closed them back. He kissed her on the forehead and stood up from the bed.
"Morning," Salamat said, yawning and stretching her body. "How was your night?" She asked her husband.
"My night was good. How was yours and how is my boy?", he asked, looking at her big protruding belly.
"He's stubborn just like his father", she muttered.
Saleem chuckled. "The stubborn one here is you."
"I need more sleep", Salamat declared and turned to the other side, ready to sleep.
"No baby, come down and observe your prayer before sleeping. Let me help you", he said, moving close to her.
He helped her up and they both went to the bathroom to perform their ablution.
