Reality Check
Chapter 2
Four hours later she had run out of random things to do. She had washed her hair, painted her nails, cleaned Yasmin toys, watched the latest episode of the 'The X Factor' and even did the laundry—well attempted to do laundry.
Zanaib had taken Yasmin and Kamil for the day. Tam was gone. Afia and Masood were working at the restaurant. No one was around and she had nothing to do. This is when she felt her fear, when she felt the most alone. Growing up, she always had possessions; but a family was all she really wanted. Times like this made her feel like she had to hold on to her marriage, no matter what.
Luckily, it was nearly dinner time, the house would soon be filled. Syed will be back from…. his house….. Suddenly, she took out her phone to send Syed a message. Hey, are you coming home soon? She texted him.
Five minutes passed, she got a bit anxious. Twelve minutes passed, she got angry. How dare he not answer me? She huffed and threw the phone into the pile of clothes. She sat alone and upset, gazing at her phone until she got another idea.
She quickly ran up the stairs taking the divorce papers with her. She tucked them between her dresser and bed. Out of sight, out of mind, she smirked. She then grabbed the manila folder with the business forms she had wanted Syed to sign earlier. She decided that he needed to sign them right now.
