Chapter 23


He walked as fast as he could to the parking lot, entered the car and zoomed out of the hospital. He called bilal and asked him to take amatullah home.


He arrived at home shortly and she's still not home. He dropped a latter on her side drawer before entering his car and zoomed off.


Amatullah arrived home, she thanked bilal and walked towards her room, she's still angry with deedat so she doesn't want him to know she's back. She planned on spending the night at his parent's but he had to ruin it. She opened her door carefully not wanting it to make any sound.


She undressed herself and entered the toilet to bathe. It was 3:58pm, so she performed ablution before coming out of the toilet.


She dressed up into a casual pink dress and dry her hair. She sprayed the prayer mat on the floor and performed asr prayer.


When she finished praying, she walked to her side drawer to take her phone ready to sleep when her eyes caught a white paper beside her phone.


What's this? She muttered to herself before unfolding it and it reads..


Hey pumpkin..missing me huh?*smirks* alright alright I'm so sorry for today, you know I just had to laugh, I mean where can I find naman sallah? *laughs* ok I'm so sorry again my hayati, you know I love you.*kiss me under the light of a thousand stars *wink* i hope by this time you've already forgiven and forgotten about what happened, sabr ya hayati, Ana uhibbu ki..... let me not bore you with this speech, I want you to stand up right now, make sure you pray asr and have your bath, then go to your closet and wear that pink and white gown that I love, go straight to the gate you'll see a black Range Rover, don't bother to call me cause I won't pick *wink* just enter the car the driver will take you somewhere, don't bother asking him questions cause he won't even talk to you.. have a nice day my love..I love you so very much..I'll be waiting, don't be lazy stand up and do what I asked you to do....byeeee...


A sudden smile appeared on her lips before palming her face and giggled. She didn't think twice before standing up. She walked to her closet and pulled out the dress he asked her to wear. She applied a little makeup on her face wear a matching shoe, bag and veil.



She checked herself once more in the full length mirror. She smiled giving herself a thumbs up before walking out of the room with a heavy heart.


The drive to the place was too long for her liking. She remembered deedat saying the driver won't talk to her but she just couldn't hold it, she wants to know where he's taking her.


Where are you taking me to? She voiced out her thought but he didn't say anything.


I'm talking to you....she said again but he fixed his eyes on the empty road of Abuja. She huffed and on her mobile data. She saw almost  thousands of messages, she couldn't remember the last time she entered her whatsapp..
One message caught her attention, it was from an unknown number, and it reads...


Since you got married you stopped mingling with people I don't know what's wrong with you, I stopped seeing your face, I stopped hearing your voice, I missed everything about you and you are there enjoying your life with your husband right? Don't worry, hear I come my love*wink*...


She ignored the message and viewed Fatima's (her friend)message..


Me duniya amarsu ta ango, since you got married you forgot about us,ok, serves you right..dama I just wanted to tell you I'm moving to kano state,I'll be doing my NYSC there and I don't think I'll come back to Abuja because my parents will soon be coming to kano too, so bye, I'll miss you...


She felt her eyes heavy due to the tears that were threatening to fall. She missed her friend though she isn't her best friend. Amatullah doesn't like the idea of keeping friends so she only had one friend and she's still not comfortable of having, she believes that friends are not to be trusted, they'll take you to the dark and leave you alone. But still she tried and make one friend. Same goes to deedat, he only has one friend that is Mukhtar...


She quickly typed a reply...


Allah sarki teema,wlh is not like that, it's your fault, you supposed to come to my house because you know I can't go out as a bride, but ya riga ya wuce, allah ya bada saa teema, I'll miss you
Too, my regards to everyone..


She was too engrossed to her phone that she didn't even realized the car has stopped moving. The driver honked jolting her back from her thoughts.


He's still not going to talk.:she muttered to herself before coming out of the car banging the door in frustration.


Where do you expect me to go in this place, it's too dark for gods sake...she yelled angrily.


The place is dark with only the red lights on, flowers all over the place making it look so romantic and breathtaking..


The driver just points to the entrance not giving her a glance.


She hissed stamping her feet and walked towards where he pointed at.


She walked deep into the well furnished room scanned her eyes hoping to see deedat. The room is dark with the only red lights on, the bed is brown so as the mirror, the bedsheet, carpet, the cushion and everything inside the room. It's decorated with red roses and candles, it looks so romantic.


She was at the middle of the room still searching for him. She huffed and face palmed herself. Just then, she felt a strong arm wrapped around her waist. She started panicking and nearly jumped but then remembered it was deedat and her thought was confirmed by his strong cologne that hits her nostrils.


You look so beautiful baby..he whispered into her ear biting it slightly sending shivers down her spine. She smiled and rested her hands on his.


The music was blasting all over the room. It was *perfect* a slow and romantic song.


*i found the love, for me*


They started moving side by side slowly enjoying each other's company.


She turned over facing him, he was wearing a black suit that really looked perfect on him with a black Rolex wristwatch around his wrist. She smiled burying her face on his chest and whispered *you didn't look bad yourself*..he smiled and pushed her closer to him hugging her back tightly.


I don't have blood cancer...he whispered to her and she jerked away from him her eyes almost popping out.


Just believe me, dr namadi lied to us, we went to a different doctor with Abba yesterday and he told us the result today, finally Amma, we have no worries now insha allah, we'll see who's behind this, Allahhumma inni kuntu minazzalimin.... deedat whispered to her and a tear made it way down to her lips.


Are you serious..she hiccuped in between tears with a smile playing on her lips.


He just nodded and swallowed the lump in his throat. She hugged him so hard that he almost lost his balance.


Alhamdulillah, alhamdulillah...she kept whispering it crying and smiling simultaneously.


You suppose to be happy not crying amma..he whispered again.


It's just..I just couldn't help it. She said with a smile and he chuckled.


Me too I have a good news, I've been waiting for the right time to tell you, and I think this is the right time....I'm..I'm pregnant..she smiled shyly and buried her face in his chest.


He pretends that he doesn't know it, he lifted her up and started spinning her around..


Stop..stop it...she said in between laughs trying hard to catch her breath.
He hugged her tightly that she couldn't even breath.


He placed his forehead on hers and started into her eyes.
Thank you so much hayati for this wonderful gift, I don't even know what to say, I'm speechless, what do you want from me? Please tell me, I'll give you what ever you want, a house, a car, a bakery, a restaurant, a..... he said all in one breath, he didn't got to finish when She interrupted him.


I don't want any of that thing you listed deedat, I just need your love, care and trust, that's all...she said staring deep into his eyes.


He smiled and placed his lips on hers before saying "you have it all"..
She smiled into his lips and her hand made it way into his shirt depending on the kiss while he used his hands to bring her more closer to him...
