The phone kept ringing; she wanted to get up and answer it but couldn't because of how he held her close to him.
The phone rang persistently, with at least ten missed calls, but she couldn't get up to answer it.
The only reason she couldn't get up was that she didn't want to move and wake him up, which she didn't want to do.
The phone continued to ring, and she didn't like the noise because she didn't want it to disturb him while he was sleeping, so she slowly moved her hand towards the phone.
She picked up the phone, and at that moment, the phone made another sound.
Quickly, she put it on silent mode and checked the missed calls to see who had called her.
When she saw who had called, her heart started pounding heavily.
While she was in this state of anxiety, he started to stir, indicating that he was waking up. He pulled her closer and then opened his eyes, which were still heavy with sleep.
Gently, he whispered in her ear, "My Sweet, get up and make me something for breakfast because I need to leave for the office now; they are waiting for me."
Without hesitation, she said, "Right away, Hayateena."
He stroked her cheek, gave her a kiss, and said, "That's why I love you even more."
She smiled softly, then got up and went to the kitchen to prepare what he needed.
Just as she was about to finish, the phone rang again. Quickly, she picked up the phone and looked at the name displayed on the screen.
Her heart skipped a beat, and her hands trembled as she brought the phone to her ear.
Before she could say anything, the person on the other end started speaking angrily.
"Hafsa, where have you been? Where did you spend the night? Why do you want to cause trouble between me and your father, huh?"
Her voice trembling, she replied, "Mama, I was overwhelmed with my studies, and you know we are about to start exams. This term is very tough, so I decided to sleep at the hostel. But please apologize to him; I will be back soon."
Then Mama said, "Alright, but make sure to inform me whenever you plan to spend the night out so I can be at ease, okay, my dear?"
She said, "Okay, Mama, I will be back soon."
After ending the call with her mother, she finished preparing his breakfast. Once done, she went to the bathroom to prepare his bathwater. After that, she went to inform him that his bath was ready.
After he took his bath and came out, she helped him get dressed, sprayed him with a nice-smelling perfume, and then took him to the dining table to have breakfast.
