Married to Mysterious

CHAPTER SIX

Placing the food flask on the table,i turned to get the plates when Asma stopped me." I have got them aunty jidda." She said placing them on the table. She turned to the door and called out.

"Lunch is ready. If you want to eat you better come and get it. "

Abba came in with Nawal trailing behind him running to catch up with his bigger steps.

"What are you doing here?"Asma asked Abba giving him an annoyed look.

"To eat of course! Isn't it obvious?" He told her moving towards the food.

"I thought you said you are not going to eat?" She asked him. With irritation laced in her voice.

"Aunty jidda cooked the food! I bet newly brides cook the best." He replied taking a plate.

"Am eating with aunty jidda!" Little Nawal spoke running to hold my hand. "We will eat together right?" She asked looking up at Me smiling.

"Of course we will I replied." Patting her head. She is so cute.

We are sitting at the living room eating on the floor together with Asma and Nawal. Adeel and Abba are at the dining section eating there food together with my mother in-law.

"Aunty jidda you surely know how to cook. "Abba stated taking big spoon full of the Fried rice. It

Is delicious.

"Thank you. "I replied smiling up at him.

"That's the only thing you are good at. Eating!!" Asma yelled at him.

"Am your older brother don't yell at me again. If you are jealous you should try and cook like her."

"Mom! When am ready enough for marriage get me a wife too. One that knows how to cook will you?" He begged. Eyes lit with excitement.

"Shut up and eat! Stop blabbering nonsense." Adeel spoke for the first time. He is so mean. And everyone went silent.

"How Is the food?" Mother in-law asked looking at Adeel. I turned to look at him. Waiting for the words that will come out of his mouth. He turned to look at me and then back at the food.

"The rice is a little too hard. And salty. Other than that it is okay!" He replied dropping his spoon. What? A little to hard? Salty? He is being the evil devil again. And it's getting me angry.

"What is hard here? Get up! You won't eat it since hard." Mother in-laws said. Taking the plate away from Adeel.

And everyone burst out laughing.

Adeel walk away to the door." I will come pick you by 8:00." He stated looking at me sternly.

Time has passed. It's almost 8:00 pm Now. And I found myself not wanting to leave. Everyone here like me. It was fun to talk about random things with Abba and Asma. Mother in-law Is especially nice to me. She treated me like my mother will. We talked about a few things. Her request keep lingering in my mind. Curiosity rising in me. What actually happened to Adeel? What tragic past? It seems like I have to find out the answer myself. I have to go find it from that little devil himself. I am not sure if we are ever going to live as normal husband and wife. We don't like each other. We don't even know about each other. We can't tolerate each others presence. But we can't stay like this forever too. I have to at least try this time. I should know what kind of a person he is.

"What are you thinking of?" Asma asked waving her hand in my face.

"Nothing.." I replied confused.

"He is here to pick you. He said to come out now. He is So bossy "she added laughing.

"He is". I smiled agreeing with her.

It's time to go back to that dungeon of a house and face reality
