I'm a Savings Woman

Holiday Activities

I saw the clock that was showing at 08:00 in the morning and I still have one more episode of the drama that I have to watch. I then pressed the start button on my phone. Ammar had fallen asleep like a baby with his head on my belly and his hands on my waist while his right leg was on my feet. He had never changed his position all the time like this.

I focused on the drama I was watching. I felt Ammar starting to change his sleeping position. I rubbed his head and hair with my right hand.

The drama is over. I smiled looking at the blackened screen.

"Is the drama over?" A voice asked me.

I looked down, looking at Ammar's face.

"You awake?" Ask him.

He also answered me directly.

"Yes, I was awake when you started rubbing my hair." Smiling words.

Since then, I have been rubbing her hair. It means that he has been awake since. I raised my right hand from his head. Then he took my hand.

"Can't you keep wiping my head?" Beside me.

I nodded my head and he let go of my hand. I started to rub her hair again. He returned to his original position.

"Position like this is much more comfortable than sleeping alone." Said me.

I can only laugh.

"Oh yeah, what about the dinner I prepared yesterday for you?" Ask Ammar to me.

"Wait first? Did you prepare dinner for me? I don't remember that dinner." My speech.

"Yes, of course you don't remember that because you just keep focusing on your drama." Her speech.

"I'm sorry." Reply me.

"It's okay that way, so I have a chance to feed you." He smiled at me.

"You bribed me?" Ask him.

I now remember the moment I watched the drama in episode 4 last night, she was feeding me dinner.

"I remember now." I'm ashamed.

"It's good to remember that." Ammar

"Well, do you think drama is boring?" My toot.

"That drama? Mmmm. It's not really my habit to watch dramas all night. I can get bored so fast." Ammar.

"Then I'm sorry about me, you have to force yourself to keep watching the drama." I feel guilty.

"Don't feel guilty. This isn't something that should make you apologize to me. Everyone has their own hobbies and you're taking me to watch them and I want to be with no coercion from you." Ammar.

For reasons I don't know, all this makes my guilt a little relieved. I just nodded my head at him. He then removed his hand from my waist and moved his body away from me. I also looked towards him.

He then pushed me towards the bed and covered my body with a blanket.

"Sleep now. You've been up all night." Her speech.

I also nodded. He then pulled me closer towards him and he then started hugging me so tightly.

"I'll sleep with you for a while." He put his head around my neck.

The sensation of the action he did made me feel amused all over my body.

"Sleep." Say again.

I nodded to him again.

Once again I slept well with a husband who felt foreign to me. But now he's made his way to my heart feel open and that makes him no longer a stranger to me.

PoV Ammar

I moved out of bed after feeling confident that she was asleep. I got off my bed and took a shower and went downstairs to the kitchen and prepared some warm milk and took it back upstairs.

"Fara, drink this milk and then continue to sleep." My speech.

He was still sleepy while sitting up straight. He then raised his hand to hold the milk glass with his eyes still closed he looked for the coffee glass in the air and it looked adorable. I held her hand and gave her the milk. Without opening his eyes, he started drinking the milk. With his eyes still closed he raised his hand into the air to give the empty milk glass to me. I took the milk glass from her hand and she lay down again and covered herself with a blanket until her head and it was adorable for me.

I prepared breakfast and put it in the freezer, then took my phone.

What activities should I do today are thoughts that keep running in my head.

'Yes this is the best idea.' I said in my heart.

After that, I called my father-in-law.

"Hello." Papa-in-law said by phone.

"Hello Pa's. How's Papa doing?" My question and I had no idea how I could ask him what activities Faradina liked.

"Good Son. What's the reason you called Papa?"

I was so surprised that my father-in-law was straight to the point of the conversation I wanted to have with him.

"Papa, I want to ask you. What activities does Faradina like in her spare time?" I asked my father-in-law.

"It's actually very simple and easy. Fara likes to read books, watch plays, listen to songs and some other fun activities." Papa.

But those are things I already know and I want to know something else.

"Did he like to go out?" I asked my father-in-law.

"Actually he hates crowded places unless it's what he really has to do. He doesn't like interacting with strangers." Said my father-in-law again.

"Oh, then does he like some sort of sporting activity?" My toot.

That's the only thing I'm thinking about right now.

"Yes. He actually likes to play badminton and besides Papa has seen him play beach volleyball with some of his friends for one or two times and lastly, he also loves swimming." Said my father-in-law to me.

"Alright Pa, I'll call Papa again later. Thanks for the information." I then hung up after Papa answered my greetings.

So I've decided everything. Today I'm going to play badminton with Faradina. I called the receptionist and asked if there was a private badminton playground nearby and he gave me an address with the nearest field from our inn.

It was now noon when Fara came down from the top floor with her face still sleepy.

"Are you sleeping well?" My toot.

He nodded his head. After the shower, he came out and I heated the food and put it on the kitchen table. We both had lunch.

"Can we go out?" Ask him.

"Of course we can get out. Where do you want to go?" Ask Fara to me.

"Hmmm.... Actually I've booked a private badminton playground. Can we go out there and spend our afternoon?" Ask him.

"Of course we can go." He said in a voice that shouted with excitement.

"Do you like to play badminton?" Ask him.

" I really like it." Reply honestly.

He smiled at me too.

PoV Faradina

We played badminton all afternoon and returned to the inn when it was 07:00 p.m. I let Ammar take a quick shower and I immediately prepared dinner for the two of us.

Just as Ammar came out of the bathroom, I went quickly to take a shower.

"Have you prepared dinner?" Ammar asked me as I walked out of the bathroom.

"All right." Reply Ammar.

After that we started dinner.

"Are you enjoying our afternoon playing badminton?" Ask Ammar.

"Yes, of course I enjoy it." Reply with a smile.

"Can we go to the park tomorrow?" I asked Ammar.

"Actually your Papa says that you hate to go to crowded places." Ammar told me.

"Oh so you did talk to Papa, didn't you?" My toot.

He nodded his head too. I smiled at Ammar.

"I just hate to put myself in a carnival-like crowd, where there are always crowds. But as you can see, the park isn't very crowded and the people there don't have to push each other." He said and he nodded his head. "And the most important thing is, this is not a psychological problem that I should avoid. If there is no other choice, then I will choose that. I'll go to that crowd." My speech.

"So I can also pick a crowded place for our date?" Ask Ammar to me.

"Yes, of course you can. I wouldn't be mad if the date you set up for me in that crowd could touch my heart." My speech.

"Well, be prepared for that day in the future." Ammar.

After chatting for a while we finally went to the room to sleep around 09:00 pm and we started to fall asleep very soundly.

...----------------...

As usual I woke up the next morning looking at Ammar's handsome face. I looked at him for a moment. He woke up and looked at me just as I was staring at him. He smiled and then approached me and gave me a kiss on my forehead.

I lifted my chin and stared at his face. He gave me a smile that touched my heart. I returned her smile and then got off the top of the bed and walked towards the bathroom.

I refreshed myself and prepared breakfast. As he walked out of the bathroom, he seemed to raise his hand and lower it as well.

"What's wrong?" Ask him.

"I think I made my hands go numb last night." Her speech.

"I'd rather think that it's probably because you pushed your arm too much when you played badminton yesterday." My speech.

"No, it's not like that. I know the difference. It's just because of my wrong sleeping position. I'll be fine in a while." He said stubbornly.

"All right then." Reply to me and put food on the dining table.

After that, we ate in silence and I saw him struggling to raise his hand while eating. I just eat in silence. I finished my breakfast quickly and put the dirty dishes in the sink. I then walked back towards him and took the spoon from his hand.

"Let me feed you." My speech.

"No, I can eat by myself. It's just because my sleeping position is wrong." He said stubbornly.

I pinched his right arm and he screamed.

"I don't think I should make a man feel ashamed. But seeing you act like a kid." Laughing.

I then took the medicine box from the closet and sprayed some rubbing medicine on Ammar's arm.

"I'm just, this happened because you forced your arm too hard yesterday." My speech.

"No, it's not because...."

I stopped him from talking.

"When you sprain your arm just for not sleeping in the right position. You will feel pain but you will be able to raise your right hand and move it without feeling too much pain. I know because I've felt it too." My speech.

"Alright, I'll admit that this was due to yesterday's practice." Ammar.

"Just tell me, how long have you not practiced?" My toot.

"At least for 6 months. I was so busy with my schedule, so I never had time to practice." Said to me.

"Look, I'm right if your body starts adapting lazily." I said with a laugh.

I rubbed his arm with my finger gently.

"It'll make your pain a little less." Saying to him.

He nodded his head too.

When that was over, I fed him breakfast.

"Good." I said as I looked at the empty plate.

"I'm not a child. Don't treat me like that." His words looked sullen.

"Alright, alright..." I said a little laugh. "We'll go to the park later this afternoon." Say again.

"No, we can go tomorrow. We won't be able to enjoy everything when you feel that kind of pain." Reply me.

"But this..." Her speech.

But I interrupted his words again.

"Don't say anything else. We can go there tomorrow." My speech.

All day long there was nothing more we could do. I could only feed him lunch and dinner, then go to sleep.

The next day I woke up with no one else by the side of the bed empty.

"Getter..." I called him out loud.

He walked with the body already bathed and then jumped to the empty side of the bed.

"You up early?" Ask him.

"Yes." Yeah." Reply smiling.

"How's your arm?" I ask him again.

He raised both his hands up and down and said, "i'm really fine. Now I can move my hand. Let's go to the park today." Say again.

"All right." Reply me.

I got ready and got out of the bathroom and was greeted with the smell of a delicious meal.

I then went downstairs.

"The smell is delicious." My speech.

"Try this, it tastes so good." Ammar.

I nodded my head and then sat down. We started eating in silence.

After we finished breakfast, we cycled until we finally arrived at the park. We brought our tickets and walked into the park.

"What if we take a selfie?" I said to Ammar.

Ammar nodded his head. We took more than 10 selfies.

"This is the first time we've taken a selfie together." Ammar.

"Yes right, first time. Well, that looks good." I said as I checked the photos we took.

For a very long time, I always wished I could pose like this.

"Can you help me take my picture?" Ask Ammar.

I also nodded.

"Guild, I'll take your picture." My speech.

"No, this has to be a selfie of both of us." Said Ammar and pulled me closer towards him.

Seriate....
