Iqraam 

work was alot but i managed 

as i had said, i reached home, the new home, by 10pm 

it was late and i assumed Ruqayyah was asleep 

Shumayll was at his place today 

he has serious issues with staying at his own home-  

I walked inside the house and it was dark 

switching on the dim hall lights, i walked into the kitchen and grabbed apples and strode upstairs to my room 

On the way i checked the kids, Zahi and Zaik's room on second floor to see that they were safely asleep 

they were 

i smiled and then proceeded to my room 

i switched on the dim lights of my room and opened my tie as i walked to my closet 

glancing around the room, i saw Ruqayyah curled on the sofa and a smile formed on my face 

Shaking my head, i took my clothes from the closet and went for a shower 

by the time i was done, it was nearly 11pm and there was no sign of sleepiness within me 

sighing i set on the couch beside Ruqayyah's head and stared at her beauty like a stalker 

thats when i noticed there was no hijab and her hair, long, thick black hair, masha Allah, was sprawled all over the place 

i tucked them nicely on the pillow and ran my hand down her beautiful hair 

she seemed so nice and beautiful asleep 

"How do i tell you how much i freaking love you!" i whispered as i kissed her forehead and stared at her beautiful face 

I traced my thumb down her cute little nose and jawline 

she was mine, Alhamdulillah 

she let out a groan as her lips parted 

if only i could kiss her- 

Oh myy- this is bad- 

i shook my head and smiled shrugging 

she was pretty... 

i noticed a mark on her lip, bottom lip, the only brown/ black scar on her plump pink lips- 

i traced my thumb on it and realized it was a scar 

how did she get it? 

she let out a little gasp in her sleep as my thumb grazed it and i immediately removed my hand 

i was getting up when i noticed something else too 

her hands were on her stomach and she was soundly breathing, her chest heaving up and down but... 

there was a mark- the dim lighting did not allow me to make out where it was just a mark or something else- 

on her right neck- just below her collar bone was a dark brown line, a scar maybe, and it disappeared into her clothes 

i wanted to know what it was but i decided not to since it would be highly inappropriate to do so when she is asleep! 

i sighed as i bent down and picked her up bridal style
