CHAPTER NINE

last update Last Updated: 2020-08-26 21:40:49

Isma'il 's pov

"Hello." Yasmin said on the other line.

To be sincere I really hate her when I came to the school but she's a really good friend so we're getting along pretty much I must say. And Hafsat too.

"Hi Yasmin I was meaning to ask you a really important favor." I said. Damn it this whole thing is really making me nervous.

"Ok I'm all ears." She said.

Me: u know with all these fight between me and Zainab Maryam stood up for me right?

Yasmin: yh go on.

Me: so the least I could do is to tell her i like her.

Yasmin: absolutely that's really thoughtful of u. She likes u too u know.

Maryam likes me. I knew she does too the way she talks to me looks at me and act when im around her she's a really good actor

Me: thank goodness so this will be easy I guess.

Yasmin: yh it will be I'll just tell her right away.

Me: thanks so much Yasmin

Yasmin: anytime.

She then disconnected the call.

I was really happy. Now everything will turn out normal. I stood up and performed my ablution then observed my salah. I then sat down on the carpet, crossed my legs and continued watching my movie while sipping my drink. Just then Maryam's call came in.

"Hello Isma'il." Her sweet voice said.

"Hello bae how've you been?" I asked.

"I've been fine." She said. "Uhmm.... Isma'il Yasmin called me and told me everything but I'm so sorry I can't date you."

I gulped then spoke.

"And why can't you?"

"Weren't you in the bus when Zainab told everyone about my life? You wouldn't want to date a girl that her own parents disowned her would you?"

I was really taken a back by what she said but I'm going to prove her wrong.

"Maryam please stop saying this it is our test our fate that Allah brought upon us. He did that just to taste our imaam (faith) and you see you've passed with flying colours. So please don't ever say this again. I like you and i want the whole you. I don't care weather you're not with your parents or whatsoever. It's you I like not your parents." Really I should be a poet one day. I never thought I could ever think of something like this. I heard her sniffed then said.

"Your words are really soothing Isma'il. It had taken most of what I'm feeling right now. So... I have accepted.

"Yesssss!!! " I shouted as I punched the air with my feet. "So we're officially dating? " I asked her.

"Yeah we are." She said chuckling softly. Awwn so cute.

"So I think we should celebrate. Let's meet in Kids mania tomorrow by 2 sharp my treat sounds good?"

"Sounds good. Bye I've got something to do."

"OK bye love." I said and disconnected the call.

I then went down when i heard my Dad's car honking.

Zainab's pov

"Yaya Ameer is going to get the shock of his life." Deeja said clearing the table.

'Yeah he is." I said. I took my phone which was now 66% percent and opened my whatsapp to chat with Jamila and Aisha. Before when we were friends with those three (Maryam, Yasmin and Hafsat) we had our group called 'cute creatures'. But when we fought we canceled the group and made our own just the two of us. Thank God they were both online.

Me: hey guys

Jamila: hey bae

Aisha: hlo how are you feeling now girl???

Me: I'm doing gr8all thanks to my family

Aisha: *clears throat* 😏

Me: and ma cutey pies here too.

Jamila: now ya talking.

Aisha: hey how bout we meet tomorrow my at Kids mania you know to lighten up the mood.

Me: dats a good idea. What time?

Jamila: how bout 2?

Aisha: good 👍

Me: ditto bye gotta go

Jamila: bye

Aisha: bye

I dropped my phone and then we snapped some pics with Deeja. 

I got bored after that so I scrolled through my messages. I felt a pang in my chest as I saw Ismail's contact. 

Why does love hurts???

I said licking mine too."You really don't give a damn about Maryam now do you. I was really scared that you might have Philophobia." She said. I didn't know what to do but laugh and i earned a you-are-not-serious look so I stopped laughing. I'm immune to Maryam's stupidness btw."Hey don't worry i won't it's not like we dated or anything.

    Maryam's povI was really short for words when i heard Zainab talking back for the first time. But I composed myself and shot back. When I pushed her Jamila held her and I kept taunting her. To my surprise she twisted my arm and knocked me on the floor. The next thing I did was wail and I kept saying my ankle my ankle. My vision was blurry and I can't make out who was kneeling in front of me squeezing my ankle lightly. I was half conscious and the next thing I knew it I was on bed whilst the school nurse inspects my ankle."Maryam right?" She asked and I nodded."Where are my friends?" I asked her referring to Hafsat and Yasmin."They just went out to attend the class. I'll send for them before break. Right now you have to rest. I've bandaged your ankle and in four days it will heal quickly, but for now on you'll be using a crutch because you can't just limp about. A

He headed to the mosque and performed ablution before offering his prayer. He stayed back for some minutes to do some dkirs and nawaafils before going to the waiting room. He met Maama crying profusely whilst Maami tried to console her, tears brimming in her own eyes and he's heart skipped a beat. What had happened to his wife?"Maami what happened? Is Zainab okay?" Maami looked down, her lips trembling."Say something please." He urged. "I think you should go see the doctor Ismail." Maami finally said and he obliged. He dragged his heavy legs to the doctor's office and knocked on the door. He opened the door when he heard a "come in.""Mr Ismail." He offered his hand for a hanshake. "Please, take a seat." He gestured to the two chairs in front of his large oak desk. Ismail sat down and prepared himself for

    It was a miracle that Ismail arrived at the hospital in one piece. All he kept hearing when he was driving like a mad person was "your wife just had an accident. Your wife just had an accident." His wife. His Zainab. Zainab!He quickly walked to the waiting room, just in time to see his in-laws waiting there already. He weakly exchanged pleasantries with them. His own parents and Afrah soon came after. Maheerah was clutching her grandmother's skirt, her eyes brimming with her tears. They all refused to answer her unending questions. Where is her mommy?"Ismail you're supposed to pray for her." Ameer said as he patted his shoulder. Ismail looked at him with bloodshot eyes. He wasn't even aware that he was crying. He sucked in a deep breath before facing his brother in-law."You don't understand how I'm feeling Ameer. She can't leave me. I need her. I need her more than ever.

She squeezed her phone in her hand as she muttered several duas under her breath. What should she do? Should she just sit down and wait for his arrival? Should she tell someone? Who would she tell? Ya Allah! How did the day turn out from better to worse? After thirty minutes of pacing to and fro, the bedroom door creaked open, revealing a distraught Ismail. She immediately rushed to him."Ismail how did this happen? Who are the kidnappers? Did they contact you?"He sighed as he sat on an armchair, his hands holding his head."The kidnapper called me. He threatened that if we don't get her married to him in the next 48 hours he would do some unspeakable things to her. He's her ex. He's obsessed with her.""Ya salaam!

    "Umm Maheerah." He attempted to help her but she held up her hand as she regained her balance. Stubborn tears stung her eyes but she pushed them back, biting unto her lower lip as it quivers."So now I'm Umm Maheerah huh?" She taunts and he looked at her amusedly and she seethed. Does all these sound like a joke to him or something? Well, he must be deranged!"So enlighten me dear husband. When did you plan on telling me about the new love of your life. Just some hours ago we both exchanged 'I love yous' and now you're doing the same with someone else? This is unbelievable!""Amor you need to calm down.

He refushed to let me watch SpongeBob!"Ismail walked over to Maheerah and scooped her into his arms placing her on his shoulders as she giggled."How about we go out for some ice cream?" He said and she nodded giggling more.He dropped her down and she ran out of the room with full vigour."Maheerah be careful!" Zainab called out."She would be fine." Ismail assured her as he sat behind her snaking his arms round her waist and she shivered.After all those years he still has an effect on her."You've spoiled this girl rotten!"

    "Zainab!" Ismail roared and she stiffled a laugh as she sprayed her perfume. She smoothed out the non existent wrinkles on her black and white maxi dress and rushed out banging the door behind her."Zainab! I'm going!" Ismail hollered again. He was standing impatiently in the sitting room playfully glaring at her as she ran down the stairs."I thought you were going to take forever up there." He said. "And you look beautiful.""Hmm you don't look bad yourself." He was dressed in a plain white shirt that hugged his abs and designer jeans with a jacket."Don't you mean I look hot and irr...""Okay let's go or else we will lose our flight.""If you say so then.""Are you ready wife?" He asked."Uh-uh.""Let's get going then." He said as he took her hands in his.

    Zainab woke up and felt two strong arms holding her. That was when she remembered that she slept in Ismail's room. Together. In the same bed. She has the strong urge to pee but she just couldn't get up as she was afraid that she will wake Ismail too. She can hold it for a little while.She stared at his face and wondered how someone can look so gorgeous while sleeping, without even trying. And let's not get started with his hair. She wondered whether his a half cast and didn't tell her, because there's no way a Nigerian man can have such a glistening and curly hair that always fall over his eyes, casting a dark shadow on his face.And then she gently touched his hair, her eyes never leaving his face. To think that she had hated this man? Who was she kidding. She blushed when she recalled last night's events...Tears brimmed at the corner of her eyes as he uttered those last words. Was this really Ismail?&nb

    "I'm busy Zainab. Go and sleep." Ismail said, massaging his temple, not even sparing her a glance. "I know you aren't busy. Please. Can I come in? I know that what I did was not right but please." She pleaded. He sighed and muttered come in. Seconds later she was in front of him, staring at him as she took a deep breath. "I'm sorry." She said. He didn't spare her a glance so she continued. "I...I was in the wrong too and...and am tired of hiding my feelings for you anymore. I love you Ismail. I'm so sorry." She sniffed and blinked back the tears that threatened to spill out. And her words totally took him off guard. He stared at her as she lowered her head. "Come here." He motioned to her to come closer and she did, sitting beside him. She stared at him for a while before she placed her forehead on his chest, trying to push back her tea
