Suhad
I felt like a total badass. I just left my husband rooted to the spot and completely dazed. I wanted to make it up to my dear husband for what happened that day in my bedroom. I had expected him to touch me, yes, take my hand, maybe, but to kiss me? That was totally unexpected. I was so taken aback that by the time I had reacted his expression had morphed into that of frustration. I had wanted to explain but he had already left the room by then. I gave him a swift kiss today and now he was in the same spot as I was that day. I wanted to laugh out loud and I think I did because bhai asked what was so funny and I just brushed him off.
Ma was already standing in the living room ready to see me off. I glanced at our bedroom door but Shadab didn't make any appearance. I wrapped the dupatta around my head as a hijab and hugged ma.
"Take care." She said.
"You too."
