Chapter Seventeen: Surprise!

Halaat's POV.

I woke up early in the morning to pray. After prayers I went back to sleep.

"Halaat wake up," I heard a familiar voice," Halaat."  I awoke only to find Adam on the bed. I hugged him. I thought it was a dream but it wasn't. Adam is here with me. I kissed Adam and he kissed me back.

"But you told me you were coming on Friday," I said.

"Well I didn't want to miss my wife's birthday so I decided to surprise you," he said.

"My birthday?" I asked confused.

"Hah Halaat you forgot your own birthday," he said while laughing.

"Nooo, okay yes I did," I said in a low voice.

"Don't worry hayati," he said and kissed me on the forehead. I hugged him and I told him that I missed him. He laid on the bed and I too laid next to him. We faced each other. All I did was look at his grey eyes that always seem to intrigue me. We looked at each other, no words needed. Our eyes were doing the talking.

"Adam," I said his name.

"Naam hayati?"

"Well we have never discussed about children," I told him.

"What about them?" He asked still looking at me.

"I mean we haven't discussed our lives when we have a baby," I said.

"What is there to discuss Halaat. Our child will have a clumsy mother and the most handsome father," he said in a jokey voice.

"Adam I am serious."

" Okay okay, I was just joking. All I know is I am going to love my child very very much and care for him or her. I will make sure that the mother and the baby is always happy that will be my goal everyday to make sure they smile. Halaat having a child with you will be the greatest and the most beautiful thing that has ever happened in my life," He said and kisses me on the forehead.

I took his hand and placed it on my tummy and waited for his reaction. I could see his eyes light up and a smile spread across his face. He got out of bed and started and walking back and forth.

"What's wrong?" I asked worriedly.

"Are you pregnant?" He asked.

"Yes I am," I said.

"I am sorry it's just that I am so happy, I don't know what to say."

"It's okay Adam," I said assuring him. He sat on the bed and I sat next to him. I knew something was bothering him.

"Are you okay?" I asked him.

"What if I am not a good parent?"

"We are going to go through this together we are going to raise our child together and you will be the best dad," I said and than held his hand.

"I am going to be a dad," he said excitedly.

Adam told me that he has a surprise for me. Adam and his surprises. When I got out of bed, I noticed shopping bags at one of the corner of the room, I walked towards the bags. Adam came and hugged me from behind.

"Happy birthday my wife," he said. 

"All these gifts..."

"For you Halaat anything."

"You didn't have to get me all of these gifts,"

"I want to make my wife happy in every way I can," he said.

"I love you," I said. But he really didn't have to buy me all of the gifts, honestly he is enough.

"I love you too now go get ready," he told me. Adam started watching soccer on the television, it was almost twelve o'clock. I went to take a shower. After the shower I wore my outfit and got out of the bathroom. As soon as I came out Adam stared at me and smiled. I started combing my hair. I closed my hair in a ponytail and walked over to Adam and sat next to him.

"I am glad I met you, I hope you know that," he said looking at me. I smiled at him and than hugged him.

Adam's POV.
I had to be with Halaat, I missed her and time spent away from her was unbearable. I missed her soothing voice when she read the Quran so I could fall asleep. I missed her smile that immediately made my heart smile.

I bought her gifts but I still feel it's not enough to show how much I love her. Halaat has never asked for anything only for my love. I watched her sleep for a while I missed her. She was so happy to see me and I too.

When she told me she's pregnant with my child, I became so happy and nervous. We are going to be a family. I don't know if I'll be a great dad. But I know one thing for sure, I will love my child more than anything.

I bought a house. Our house where we are going to start our family. The house is next to the beach, so we can relive our memory. My mother and Jamila are planning a surprise party for Halaat. And I am taking her for lunch to keep her busy. I don't know why but ever since I made Halaat my wife. It feels like my purpose is to always make sure she's happy.

Halaat's POV.

Before we left, we prayed since it was already lunch time. After prayers Adam and I went downstairs. There was no one in the house. It was so quiet, I wonder where everyone went. It's my birthday today and I have to go see Ayat. I spent all my birthdays with my family, I actually don't like celebrating my birthday. But Ayat would always plan something for me.
I miss my sister, she doesn't know I am pregnant. I haven't told my family yet.

I told Adam to take me to see my family and so he did. We reached at my home and I got out of the car. I got in the house nobody was home except Ummi. She was in her bedroom. I greeted her and than sat with her. I told her about my pregnancy and she was so happy. She was happy, she also made a dua for me. I asked her where everyone was, she said they went out.

After a while talking to my mum. I left and got into the car with Adam. He didn't tell me where he is taking me. But I trust him, I have too. After an hour of driving. We stopped by the beach and there was a cute beach house, we got out of the car and I followed Adam. We entered the house, the house didn't have furniture, just empty space with a great view of the blue shimmering ocean.

Adam turned around and looked at me and held my hands.

"Welcome home," he said. I don't how I ended up with such a loving soul. But I am glad I did.

"This is our home?" I asked still surprised.

"Yes this our home," he replied.

"You know your stuck with me forever," I said and than hugged him.

"Halaat you make forever seem too short and I want to be with you for eternity in Janah (paradise),"

"Ameen," I said.

"You know Halaat I'll never finish falling in love with you ,"

"Together?" I said while smiling.

"Forever," he replied and kissed me on my cheek.

He held my hand and made me walk with me him. He lead me to the deck. There was a table with two seats and it's decorated with red roses and petals. We sat down and we were served our meal.

Adam and I started talking about our memories. The elevator and the hot coffee incident. He said he was going to fire me  but he knew he would never hear the end of it. He said my beautiful face weakened him. That's corny but it's kind of sweet, haha.

I asked him what he saved my name in his phone he said he saved it as hayati.
He also asked me what I saved his name as, his name on my phone was still saved as boss monster. Adam became angry and I started apologising eventually he forgave me and he took my phone and changed the name to qalbi waruhi ( My heart and soul). Whatever satisfy him.

There was a staircase that lead to the beach. So we went for a walk after having our meal. It was almost four o'clock and he told me we should get going. But before we left he forced me to pose for a picture in our new home. He kept on insisting it was for memories. I was so tired, I fall asleep in the car.

Adam woke me up, when we reached home. We walked hand in hand until we reached the the main door of the house. He opened the door and as soon as I got in. People yelled surprise. The whole house was decorated with balloons. They made a surprise party for me. My mother in law came and hugged me, Ayat and Hussein were also here. Everyone hugged me and wished me a happy birthday. Honestly I was so happy I became speechless.

I am surrounded by the people I love and this is the best birthday. I just don't know to react, Alhamdulliah. The cake was so beautiful, a two layered chocolate cake with different types of candy on it. I have a feeling Ayat is the one who choose the cake. Only she knows my secret obsession of candy. After cutting the cake, we ate and started talking. Adam was talking with Hussein, they were bonding.

I want to make things right with Ayat, it doesn't feel right. I walked over to her and hugged her.

"I am sorry Ayat," I said still hugging her.

"It's okay Hala I forgive you. Happy birthday," she replied.

"Thank you. Ayat I have something to tell you,"

"What is it?" She asked concerned.

"I am pregnant," I said. She hugged and congratulated me. She became so intrigued.

"I am going to be an aunt," she said in a loud voice. Everyone looked at us, Jamila stood up and came over to me and hugged me.

"Halaat you're pregnant?" She asked in disbelief. I nodded at her and smiled. Jamila hugged me and also congratulated me. I looked at Adam and he smiled at me. Could it possibly be, that Adam is my happy ending...
