I face timed Deeja the moment I returned back to the hotel and took her on a tour round the house. Abdullah swore that he saw the Eiffel tower when I went to the living which if you could remember, the walls were made out of glass. So we spent the rest of the night trying to spot the "Eiffel tower" which was just a waste of time cus we didn't see it. They asked where Jamila and Aisha were which I obviously have to lie. I traveled to my dreamland immediately I switched my phone off.

"Princess." I heard someone saying whilst shaking me and I shivered due to the air conditioner and wrapped the duvet round me.
"Princess wake up or I will pour cold water on you." He yanked the duvet again and I wrapped myself with it again hoping I will continue with my dream. But the next thing I felt was the duvet been yanked again and a cold cold cold oh my God so cold water splashed on me
Zainab's povSomeone came in and sat close to me and I abruptly paused the music and turned to face the asshole that dared sat close to me when I froze...It's freaking Huzaifa azin Huzaifa Musty's younger brother that I once had a crush on. And maybe i still do...He changed so much. He's side burns well shaved and OMG his gorgeous face. I love him more now! Ok, it's official. I'm really crazy.Wait what's he even doing here in Paris?"Zainab." He half smiled half smirked and I felt embarrassed checking his face out."Hu...hu...Hu..." I stuttered trying to get the words out."It's not Huzaifa." He chucked showing his 32. "It's Mu'allim not Huzaifa. Huzaifa is my older brother."I mentally scowled. I've been ranting their brother's name the whole time! Mstwww."Oh.
"You guys won't believe who I met at the park today." I sat down taking off my snickers and massaged my foot. "Who?" They both asked boredly. "It's a boy. The apple of my eyes, the only cockroach in my cupboard. He stole my heart in a heart beat. And I love him!" I dramatically clutched my chest and sighed dreamily. "You? In love with someone? The holy mighty Zainab that does not believe in true love?" Yaya Ameer snickered. "As I was saying..." I glared at him..."you guys even know him especially you Musty. You two are close. Very close." I stared deep into his eyes but I couldn't read them! "It was Mustapha that suggested that we shouldn't let you know cus..." Musty glared at him. "Oh I get it. You guys don't want me to be happy right? Or do you want me to die a spinster? Well..." I clapped my hands dramatically..."you're both wrong. I s
Mustapha narrowed his eyes at her. Never in his life has he ever thought that his ex-girlfriend would slap him. He couldn't assimilate the feeling.But deep down he knows he deserves that slap. He still loves her no matter how many times he had denied it, not even when he told her that he had already moved on. He feels a vulnerable feeling to see her or hear of her with somebody else. Not to talk of his own biological brother."I would repeat this for the last time. I. Will. Marry. Mu'allim. And that wouldn't be any of your business."Without waiting for his reply, she slammed the door shut at his face.She quickly dialed Zulaiha's number and she picked at the fourth ring."Gurl." Zulaiha said."Hi. I'm sorry if I'm bothering you but I am just really bored here so I thought if you're not busy you we could hang out at a certain place or somethi
U N E D I T E D2 weeks passed with Zainab always going out with Mu'allim and Zulaiha. Sometimes he would be busy with Mustapha and Ya Ameer but will still create time to be with her. They went for shopping and visited every angle in Paris. She also took some shots with Deeja's iPad. Now she's back to her country sweet country. Home sweet home She resisted the urge to kiss the ground when she was about to enter the car. The driver came to pick them both."Glad you're back huh?" Mu'allim questioned raising his eyebrows and she nodded her head whilst sniffing the air. "Well talk to you later. Reach home safely." He blew her a kiss and she caught placing it on her chest. "Ba ruwan mu da haters." She whispered to him and glared them. "Bye mi amor." She waved. "Bye tesoro." He waved too and closed the door
"4 years,that's crazy." Maama eyed him and Zainab snorted, focusing back to the book she'sreading on Good novel. "Yes, I know it is but Zainab still hasn't settled down in the uni. I want her to settle down first and be more....sensible."I snorted again. "So Maama you mean am not sensible now right?” She glared at me. "I'll see what I can do about it though 4 years is insane you know but shuuu" they both chuckled with Ameer rolling his eyes and she looked back at my phone,memory of the past 2 hours rushing back.... ***"Zeebae." Aisha called and took Zainab in an unexpected hug. Jamila hesitated before joining the hug too. Really, now she feels like a big coward for bragging to her other halves. They complete her wallah. And being the awesome beings they are they didn't take it to her heart. "Im so sorry guys." I choc
Zainab was going through some of her books when she received a message from an unknown number. She hesitantly took the phone and read the message... I've already lost hope Zainab. So I promise to never court you nor disturb your life again. Take care and know that your spot in my heart will never be occupied. I love you. She hissed and threw her iPhone 6 away and sobbed hard with a lone smile tugging at her lips. 2 years later.... "Are you even listening to me?” Maryam yelled which caused Aamilah to jolt crying but luckily her Mother soothed her back to her nap. Aamilah and Aamal are twins
The moment those words left her mouth and registered into Zainab's head, she stared feeling dizzy, and before she knew it she was down. "Deeja, quickly get some water!" Halima said as they all gathered around her. "Give her some space to breath!" Zulaiha said and they backed out a little terrified. Maama and Ameer's wife, Hanan rushed into the room too worried. What was wrong? What brought the twist of events? She regained consciousness in a few minutes and looked up to find Maama, been the only person in the room. "Dear are you okay?" She asked and Zainab nodded gently. "Maama tell me please what is happening?" "Zainab please calm down, there's nothing to worry about. Just accept what was written in your fate. You and Ismail are meant for each other. Even though the people gathered were here to witness your marriage with Mu'allim, the plans
It had been four days after the wedding, but there was no sign of Ismail. She tried several times to ask Maami but couldn't muster the courage to do so. Aliya has went back to her home in Abuja.Later in the evening she decided to make an apple pie. She was so totally engrossed in making the dish that she didn't know when someone came in. And then when she saw him, she screamed at the top of her voice, before he swiftly closed her mouth with his hand."Common Habibti relax, its me." He sensually spoke into her ear, his warm breath fanning her collarbone."Ya Allah, you scared me! I'm not used to someone sneaking in on me..." Her breath hitched as she took in his appearance. He was wearing a white kaftan with golden embroidery but without a cap. His glistening hair fell over his eyes, casting a dark shadow on his face. How can a Nigerian have this kind of hair?He
