She sat on the chair in front of the mirror applying Body Shop oil. After she finished, she took a handkerchief and a towel and applied it to her body and then took her long, smooth purple nightgown and put it on. She sprayed argan oil (ors) hair spray on her hair and tied it in a ribbon and brought a hat and put it on. She sprayed sandra perfume (al rehab collection), then tied a scarf on her nightgown and put on her hijab, took her phone and left the room while pulling the door closed.
At the corridor that would lead to the master's room, they bumped into Ummi who had come out of their father's parlor. She looked at her up and down and then she interrupted and said "snake, I swear until you come out, you will go to the old man's room, that way you will end up in a state of confusion and you will not get what you came for because if we were here, even water would be impossible for you to drink in this house. You are completely ignorant of the law, besides, if you lost a husband, Daddy, what about Mami's husband? In case you forgot, I will remind you". She sighed and left, leaving her standing there as if she had been planted. She stood there for five minutes after Ummi passed by, but she did not leave. The girl pulled her legs back as she felt heavy and went to Daddy's room. She slowly pushed the door open with a greeting, inside he answered her. He was sitting on the bed looking at some papers. "Good night, daddy," she said to him after folding her hijab and putting it over her nightgown because it was his rule that when she entered his room, he did not want to see her wrapped in hijab. "Is there anything you need before I go to bed?" she asked him, although he did not answer her quietly. As if he would not answer her, he said to her, “I want black tea.”
She put her hair back on and put on her hijab and left. She went to the kitchen and put on some tea, added two Liptons and spices to the pot and added one teaspoon of strawberry flavour. After it boiled, she poured it into a flask and placed it on a tray along with coffee, a spoon and honey because daddy doesn't drink sugar but uses honey. She took it and headed to the room.
Sitting where she left him, she found him, on the bedside drawer she placed the tray and went to the bathroom and prepared a bath for him. After she came out she informed him and climbed into bed and lay down. She didn't know when she woke up because even when she started to sleep he kept telling her things, she had to wake up from her sleep and take care of him.

CHILDREN OF THE HUSBAND

She was praying the morning prayer and went to the kitchen because it was the custom of the owner that his family did not eat the food of the workers. Since she had planned to make cakes and sinasir since the night before, she went in and started to prepare the haram suya and mixed a soft soup with plenty of tangkwashi and dried fish. Before eight o'clock, she finished preparing the food in the warmers and placed it on the dining table and then went to her room, took a bath and got ready in a blue and yellow Julius Holland suit that was sewn with a free fitted skirt and dress. Since she did not care about her appearance, she just applied powder and applied lip balm to her lips, tied the suit and went to Daddy's room. In front of the mirror, she saw him with a rank on his body, being a soldier with the rank of major general.
She greeted him with a smile. He replied inwardly as if he had always replied to her every word. She still couldn't get used to Daddy as her husband, she was afraid of him since the beginning, he never left her and he's not helping matters because the way he treated her was the same now, the only difference is that now she is his wife, there are his responsibilities on her and she is fulfilling them without any hesitation. She was so lost in her thoughts that she didn't even notice him leaving the room until she heard the door closing. She quickly got up and followed him to give him food.
She found him at the table with the other children in the house. "I'm sleeping with you," she said to them, pulling out a chair and sitting down. She was waiting for them because no one among them spoke to her unless she did. Now only Yaya Khalifa responded to her greeting. She took the plate and put the cake and cinnamon sticks for Daddy, poured the soup into the soup bowl, then poured the peanuts into a cup and placed them in front of him, then picked up her own and started eating.
