I'm a Savings Woman

Vacation Plan

PoV Faradina

We played question and answer and I asked him a lot, now it's his turn to ask me.

"Now I have to ask you 10 questions." Her speech.

"No, it should be 20. I'm not asking you anymore because I don't have anything else I want to know about you." Saying to him.

He nodded his head at me. After that, he started his question to me.

"Brown or cake?" Her speech.

That question is a little difficult for me. I thought for a while about the answer and finally I answered chocolate.

"Do I have to ask the same question you asked me?" Said me.

"You could've asked me all those things. It depends on you and how you know each other." Saying to him.

"Well, next a hug or a kiss?" Said me.

I immediately frowned after listening to his words. I convinced myself not to be ashamed of it. I should have answered that question. But how? I don't know anything about this.

Actually technically I know about this because I've been hugging my teddy bear for years. I smiled at myself with that thought.

"I think a hug." Reply me.

He laughed after hearing my answer.

"Next, watch a movie at night or a party at night?"

I rarely go to parties so of course I answer...

"Watch night." Smiling words.

"Stay home all holiday or go out with your friends or family" she told me.

"Certainly relax at home throughout the holidays." My reply.

He shook his head to the right and to the left while smiling at me.

"Tea or coffee?"

"Tea... Ah no... Mmmm coffee..." I made a decision.

When I was a kid, I used to drink tea. But when I get upset, then I start trying to drink coffee, and until now every time I get upset, I'm going to choose to have coffee.

"You prefer dark colors, don't you?" Said me.

I was silent and how he knew it.

"Yes, but how do you know?" I'm confused.

"So you chose to say dark rather than light first. So I'm just guessing. But I never knew that I was right." Her speech.

I asked him to continue his question.

"Motor or car?"

"Motor." I don't doubt that.

"Call or short message?"

"Phone." Reply quickly.

I was so upset when someone sent me a message continuously within 5 minutes. So I'd rather tell them to call me.

"Basketball or football?" Her speech.

"Are you asking which game can I play?" I asked him because the question was not clear.

"No! I mean, which game do you like to watch." Her speech.

"Oh. football I think." My speech.

I honestly don't watch sports on television. I prefer to watch other things. If I were asked to choose between the two, then I would choose football because I had watched my male friends' football matches and cheered them on with the other female friends.

"Cold water or plain water?" His words asked me.

There's only one person who knows the answer to this question is my mom. I drink ordinary water. I hate drinking cold water and that's the reason why in our house the refrigerator never has cold water in it.

"Ordinary water." Reply me.

"High heel or sneaker?" Her speech.

"Sneaker, because I use it more often." Reply me.

"Mountain or river views?"

"Mountain views I think." Reply me.

We chatted all night and it showed at 02:00 in the morning. My stomach started to make a sound and she smiled at me.

"Would you like to grab a midnight snack?" Said to me.

"All right." Reply to me with shame.

"Then let's go to the kitchen." Smiling words.

I nodded my head and crawled down from the bed and waited for him to lead me to the kitchen.

We walked towards the door and he suddenly stopped and turned towards me and signaled me to wait. He ran to the closet and grabbed a hoodie and gave it to me.

"Use this so that no one can see us sneaking into the kitchen and it can cover up your loose-fitting clothes." Her speech.

I realized that the clothes I was wearing were too big, but it didn't matter to me at all. I nodded and picked up the hoodie he gave me and started using it and he did the same thing using his hoodie as well.

He then approached me and helped me use the hoodie and put an okay sign in his hand.

I flinched because I was so suddenly close to him. But he seemed unaware of it. We opened the door and I held her right arm and then we walked out from inside our room.

After entering the kitchen, we found everything so clean in the kitchen. He turned towards me and asked my opinion.

"Do you want a banana with almond butter?" Her speech.

I nodded my head in a sign of agreement.

"Heat the oven, I'll take the almond butter from the cupboard and peel the banana." Say again.

After doing what he said, I sat down in the kitchen chair and stared at what he was doing. He apparently wrapped the banana in aluminum foil and then put it in the oven.

He stood near me and said,

"that seems to be enough for me."

"No to me. I still need the other food." My speech.

He laughed and I opened my mouth to say something. But he quickly put his right hand in front of my mouth and reminded me not to be noisy.

"Ohhhhh.... Do you want to make everyone in this house wake up?"

I nodded my head. He then took his hand out of my mouth.

"Who gave you the idea to make a banana with almond butter?" Ask him.

"As you can see. There was no food left in the fridge to warm up and I saw a banana in the basket and I also remembered that Eva had almond butter in the cupboard which was her favorite food. So I have an idea like that." He was proud to say that to me.

"Alright, then don't tell Eva about us using her almond butter. She hates it when I touch hers without her permission."

I nodded my head in agreement.

We ate and cleaned up our food and then we ran back to our room before someone could see us.

We lay down on the side of our bed comfortably. I fell asleep quickly as I covered myself with a blanket and I didn't know what to do with it.

...****************...

Geck! Geck! Geck!

The sound of a knock on the door made me wake up for a moment and opened my eyes. I get a slightly faded look at my eyes. But suddenly I remembered the place where I fell asleep. I was sleeping with my husband and our faces were so close. We can even feel each other's breath. Her right hand was on my waist which made me feel safe where I slept. I kept staring at his face.

The knocking sound on the door kept on sounding which made him wake up. Our eyes looked at each other.

His lips flashed a smile and said, "good morning." He said in a still sleepy voice.

I returned his smile and said, "good morning."

We lay in the same position staring at each other even though the door was knocked.

Finally the sound from the front of the door made us turn our eyes away.

"Ammar.it's 08.00 in the morning. I left Fara's clothes on the doorstep. Wake up..." It was Eva's voice that was shouting.

The door stopped knocking.

I gulped and said, "I think we should continue staring at each other next time and start preparing now."

He pinched my nose and said, "remember you said that we can continue later."

I immediately froze.

After we finished getting ready, we went downstairs and everyone else was waiting for us at the dinner table. All the families are there.

After breakfast, we all sat in the living room. I sat down next to Ammar. My mother-in-law asked me to sit next to her seat and I did as she told me.

"Have you adapted to all this?" Ask my mother-in-law while holding my hand.

"I feel a little sad remembering my parents." My speech.

My mother-in-law pulled me into her arms and made me feel comfortable.

"I'm getting comfortable with you all." Saying again.

My words made my mother-in-law smile.

"Go back to sit next to your husband. She looked upset when I asked you to sit next to me." My mother-in-law laughed.

I looked at Ammar and saw him turning his eyes. I laughed and sat down next to him again.

Meanwhile Eva came out of the kitchen and asked, "who is the one who took my almond butter without my permission?"

I looked at Ammar and he signaled me to stay still and I could only smile at him.

"Anyone who settles down to steal my almond butter, will pay a huge compensation in the future." Eva and I said that her anger looked adorable.

"Why does he have to pay such a hefty fee when he takes just a few spoons out of your almond butter.?" Ammar.

Eva looked so angry after hearing Ammar's words.

"You.... You're the one who took my almond butter." Eva said, then walked quickly closer to Ammar.

Ammar tried to defend himself from Eva's attack.

"Ammar, I think you should show our house to your wife. Even if you won't stay here." Said my Father-in-law.

Eva and Amar stopped fighting and listened to my father-in-law's words.

"Let me show you this house." Ammar held my hand and I also held his.

It was noon when we finished looking around the house and we sat down for lunch.

"Ammar and Faradina, go to work after lunch. Mama and Papa want to talk to you about something." Papa-in-law said to both of us.

"Okay Pa, we'll do it." Ammar.

After lunch we both went to Papa-in-law's office. The two of us walked together and sat on the sofa in the corner of the room.

"All right, we've been planning a 1-month honeymoon for you both." Said Mama-in-law.

I was quite surprised to hear the 1 month word. Wasn't it too long for us to honeymoon?

"Mama must be kidding, right?" Ammar said in a voice that sounded disbelief.

"No Son. It's actually all for the good of you both." Reply Mama-in-law.

I still feel so confused, how could it be for the good of both of us.

"You two don't actually know each other and you're both complete strangers. So we thought that this one month would get you two to know each other." Mama-in-law explained to us about everything.

"But what about our work? We both have jobs, right?" Ammar told his mother.

"Well if you're talking about it, do you know what your wife's job is?" Ask Mama-in-law.

'Damn.'

I don't think Ammar knew that because we both didn't talk about it.

"Mmmm office work I guess." Ammar looked at me with a question mark.

"Look, you don't know him at all. So accept this offer. And tomorrow, after going to Faradina's house and spending your night there, you two can go straight to the airport to spend your day together for a month without any interference from anyone else." Said Mama-in-law.

So all of this has been decided, and neither of us was given the opportunity to refuse or comment on everything. Ammar looked at me and I nodded my head to make sure that we agreed with the plan.

"alright. We're gonna go. But where's the goal?" Ammar asked his parents.

"A vacation on an island X." Mama-in-law and Papa-in-law at the same time.

"Alright Ma, Pa... We'll go there." I said to them.

Ammar and I walked out of Papa-in-law's office. While walking back to the room, Ammar looked at me.

"Are you okay with this trip?" Ask Ammar.

"Why should I object or dislike this? You'll be there with me so I don't have to worry." I reply to smile at him.

"Then what about your job?" Ask Ammar to me. "By the way, what's your job?" Say again.

"A psychiatrist." Reply me.

"You're a psychiatrist?" Ask Ammar to me again.

"Yes, can we go and pack our clothes now?" I asked Ammar.

"Well we'll pack our things then." Her speech.

We went back to our room and started packing our clothes in different bags and when we were halfway through packing our things, Eva called us to dinner.

We went downstairs to dinner and came back to pack our things again. It was already midnight, when we finally finished packing our belongings and then fell asleep next to each other.

Seriate...
