"This is going to be one of the most memorable moments of my life Irfan, Just look at us, how did we get here?"
"I don't know babes, we have come a long way, and i know it inside of my heart that i will always love you today tomorrow and always, only you, and even if we try to forget that, love will remind us, that
"I am going to miss you." She said with the expulsion of breath. "It's alright Nas, before you know it I'll be back I promise.""But one year is long it feels like forever, I don't know if I can stay that long without seeing you, Habeeb." "I will always be with you Nasreen.""Virtually but not physically Habeeb, you should come to see my parents first, they are not going stare at me for a year...""Finally !!! Nasreen do you know how long I have been waiting for you to say this?" He let out a sigh of relief."Seriously Habeeb you never gave me a hint.""Now you know, so expect me in the next two weeks wifey, and then I will sweep my princess off her feet once I get back." "I am not your wifey yet, can't we just run away?" She let out a repressed giggle."No, Nasreen we can't do that, I want to be with you more than anything, and I also want it in the right way,
Nasreen prepared herself mentally before entering the lecture hall. It seated just about one hundred students. The Hall became quiet as soon as the students saw the lady standing in front of the podium. She was mildly anxious. She hoped it went well. Thanks to her dad, for not allowing her to wallow in misery. He made her do something instead of seating at home all day doing nothing, crying over a boyfriend, who left her in the lurch for three freaking months. She never heard from him, but she heard from his friend that he had gone to America. That was all.One evening he told her he did not like seeing her like that that she should get something doing. "But dad I don't know what to do." "You have a lot to do my child." "Like what dad?" "Nasreen, you were the best graduating student in your Ph.D. class, you don't know how proud I am of you, it hurts me a lot to see you in this state thinking
"Chabb!! daddy Irfan!! Irfan is it the Irfan that I just met that doesn't know how to laugh... Shikenan, Na shiga uku, ai ni gwara naje na fara Shan rubutu in sa a kawo mun gobe, bazan iya ba. I am finished dad, I am in trouble, it is better I go and start drinking rubutu, I'll have them bring it for me tomorrow I can't do this, Please reconsider dad." "If you would tell me one person now that is ready and willing to marry you, I swear I will grant your wish." Nasreen thought deeply of all the side guys she had and she couldnt come up with one, she called their names in her headFaisal ( Talks way too much)Adnan,( Very short, God fearing)Farouk,( Minister, Flirt)Alhaji Buba,( Billonaire, three wives, poor grammar)Farid( Former President's son, Very childish)Sarki,(So uncouth, wore the same clothe thrice in one week to visit her )Yusuf (Governor's son, un
She was seated on the bed cross-legged, with her head downcast. Her heart thumped the moment, Irfan stepped into the room. He said his salam quietly. Nasreen did not bother replying.Nasreen!! He called calmly again, she didn't raise her head upward. He thought she must be nervous. "Can we pray at least?" No response still."What is wrong with you Nasreen?" She looked at him with a dispirited expression on her face. When he saw the resigned expression on her face, he became gloomy at the thought of what he had to face, the agony of a bereft marriage.He tried to act as cool as possible. "Why did your mood swing suddenly, you were fine at the dinner party." He realized he was talking to himself, he got irked by her stern visage. He moved closer and touched her shoulder lightly, so she could at least look at him. She shrugged his hands away, Irfan froze. "Don't touch me," His b
"Nasreen wake up I am going to work, it is about time you start performing some of your wifely duties." "So what are the wifely duties if I may ask?" She mumbled. "You need to wake up and prepare me breakfast at least." 'Wait dude, are you serious right now?" "Does this face looks like it's joking?" He said curtly and stormed out of the room. She sat upright on her bed, and pondered about her life, how did she ever sign up for this.... She got up unwillingly and rummaged the kitchen and fridge. *****"Wai abincin bai yi tun azun ba, is the food not ready yet." He muttered in annoyance. Nasreen shot him a scornful glare, and he kept quiet. He was waiting on the dinning table, fixing his cuff links. When Nasreen presented the food that looked delectable to him. She smiled at him, but there was something behind that smile. It was creepy. She had never smiled at him like th
"IRFAAAN! TOWELLL!! KNOCK!!" Nasreen said stressing on each word. "NASREEN ! NO ONE CARES!! NO!!" He stressed the word just as she said to him too. She rolled her eyes and wrapped the towel securely, and crossed her arms on her chest. "What do you want form me?" "For you not to embarrass me in front of my friends." "Why do you assume that I would embarrass you?" Nasreen said curtly."Cause I invited my friends over to come and have dinner here, I remember the last time I forced you to cook it didn't turn out well, and I don't want to force you please." Irfan pleaded. Nasreen sniggered "So you know what I am capable of, interesting.""Look I don't care, just do this at least, for only today, please, we are going to do it together if that it what it takes." Irfan said pleadingly. "Oh you thought I was going to do it alone ah lallai." Irfan rolled his eyes skywards. Irfan turne
They had been avoiding each other since their first kiss. Or rather she had been avoiding him. It was still awkward for her. Irfan kept making her feel even more awkward than it already was. "Just say one more word again Irfan you will see what I am made of." "Don't you ever shut up in your life?" She gave him a very cold and serious look: "What the f*** did you just say to me? She said blandly. You think I like to talk, I just don't want to blow my freaking brains out, because of boredom. You are always, dorky, boring, and kuma sai ka daura fuskar ka kamar Zani .you will tie your face like wrapper a little smile would do you good." She stroked his shoulder and went upstairs. Leaving Irfan in a state of shock. "Damn it!!" How could she say such a thing to him. He looked at himself in the mirror. "I am not a bore." He called
"Irfan can you please keep it down I am trying to read." "If you want to read Nasreen, go to the library." He said and carried on with his movie. He had his AirPods on and was watching a movie on his Mac book, and was laughing loudly.She got up angrily and was walking towards him, she was about to yank the Air-pod away from him.When she felt it, she stood stock-still in front of Irfan deadpanned. Irfan saw his beautiful wife freeze in front of him."What is it Nasreen?" She couldn't speak, she looked down, and looked at him before she walked quickly aupstairs. His eyebrows creased in confusion. He shrugged his shoulders, he wanted to continue with his movie when his eyes caught the tiny trail of crimson spots trailed everywhere she ran through. He let out a smirk. This is the reason she ran away. Now he understood all the yelling, and aggression.Nasreen al
