My assistant ashraff_as this is for you!














"Your father?" Jannah asked just to make sure she heard him right. Admittedly, she's actually scared of meeting his father in fear that he's like Suhad's mother. Though Jannah tries to not think of the consequences of being Mamita's daughter in law, she can't help but wonder how it will be like now.

One thing's for sure, it won't end in Jannah's favor.

"Yes" Suhad nodded resting his hands on the counter. "He wants to see you before he leaves for Gombe though he'll be back next week for..." he trailed off.

Jannah didn't need him to finish it though she understood what it meant. He wants to see her before he leaves and return next week for Suhad's wedding with Bilkisu.

So, basically in a week from now she'll be sharing her husband.

Just great.

Jannah exhaled as she opened the first food warmer in sight. She had no energy to deal with jealousy and whatnot. At the moment she had so many issues to deal with she didn't want to add that issue to her problems, "We don't have to talk about that" she said dismissively as she looked at the food.

She heard him sigh.

Before he could say anything, she quickly spoke up, "Did you cook this?" she asked gesturing to the food warmer filled with chips and egg by the side.

He smiled; "Well..." he trailed off.

"You had someone cook it" she finished off the statement again making him shrug.

"I'm not the best cook okay! If you want me to poison you the very same day we get married then keep that aside and I'll cook for you" He offered making her smile slightly.

"No thank you. I'm good" she shook her head as she scooped the potato chips and placed it on the plate Suhad brought out for her. She placed egg just the amount she will like to eat on the plate too. A wide smile then lit up her face, "Baby" she squealed making Suhad look up immediately.

"Yes Jay" he answered, a goofy grin taking over his features.

She looked at him as if he'd grown two heads, the grin on her face turning into a frown, "Miyene kuma kake ce wani yes. I was not talking to you o! I was talking the love my life, Pepsi obviously" she gestured to the Pepsi in her hand as if it's the most obvious thing in the world.

The grin on Suhad's face fell turning into a scowl and if Jannah wasn't looking up closely then she wouldn't see the light tint of pink coating his cheeks. So Suhad blushes too!

"Are you blushing?" she laughed as she reached her hand out to touch his cheek but since they were sitting opposite each other, she couldn't reach him.

"Of course not" Suhad answered quickly as he stood up from the stool he was sitting on and headed towards the refrigerator.

"You so are! You were blushing, admit it" she chuckled as she placed a potato chip in her mouth and much on it ignoring her sulking husband. "Blush guy" she laughed when she voiced it out. She couldn't hold it in.

Suhad the blush guy. It has a nice ring to it doesn't it?

When she didn't hear anything from Suhad, she looked up to see him leaning on the refrigerator with a bottle of Pepsi in his hand while he watched her with a smile on his face. "Eres hermosa"(You're beautiful) he said making her bows furrow because she didn't understand what he said."No puedo evitar enamorame de ti una y otra vez"
