CHAPTER 40: FOR NOW

Who missed me?

5k+ words! Thank me by dropping comments, and then I might update again soon.

"Our wedding" Suhad corrected, reaching out to place his hands on Jannah's shoulder so as to calm her down, "Our wedding" He repeated, glaring at Fatimah who shrugged.

"What?" She asked feigning innocence, "Did she think you're getting married again or something? I thought we've passed that stage" Fatimah brushed past them, heading back to the gazebo knowing if she didn't keep a reasonable distance from Jannah, the girl will send her to an early grave for scaring her like that.

Jannah turned to look at her husband, knowing chasing Fatimah for answers is a lost cause, "Which wedding again?" She asked, confusion lacing her tone.

Suhad sighed, shaking his head as he intertwined his hands with hers, "I honestly do not know the details. She didn't tell me anything"

Jannah nodded.

"Come on, let's meet the others so I don't have to break any of my cousin's arms for trying to hit on you" He mumbled, making her chuckle as the two walked over to the gazebo.

Jannah didn't know why she didn't feel nervous when she walked along with her husband towards his family members. Maybe it's because the fact that she and Suhad are on talking terms surpasses the fear of meeting them. Or maybe the fear was just never there.

She had never been the one to care about others thoughts on her though she gets overly self-conscious sometimes.

She plastered a smile on her face, knowing since they are basically her in-laws, in some sort, she has to be friendly towards them. Especially since Suhad seems to get along with them, she wouldn't want them to go back to square one. Though, that being said will not stop her from retaliating if anyone says or does something to her.

She's Jannah after all, she doesn't back off from a fight after all. Ever.

Suhad took his earlier spot, scooting so his wife will have enough space. He waited for her to sit down first before he did, still holding her hands in his which didn't go unnoticed by any of the prying eyes of the company.

Suhad smiled at his cousins, and siblings---which included of Jameel, Jameela, Deen and of course, Fatimah, "Guys, meet my woman. My wife, Firdaus Jannah"

And that was when the hell of questions broke;

"When did you get married?"

"Daman kayi aure?"

"I was planning on shipping you with my friend fa!"

"So we finally get to meet your wife"

"Dude.... you're married?"

"Ammakaciamanagaskiya, you didn't tell me!"

"Guy I thought I was your best friend; how come I didn't know"

"HOLD UP!" One voice yelled, cutting the various people that kept throwing in remarks—nothing harmless about them though because though they are confused, they couldn't hate Suhad's wife. She seemed like a nice person.

Everyone snapped their gaze to the girl that spoke up. One that shared similar features to Jameela in a way, except she seemed nicer, "Y'all are talking nonsense. How come no one, and I mean no one, spoke about the wedding party we didn't have?! Imagine, Suhad got married, YerimaAlamin Suhad! And we didn't have any events?! Come on!" She said, out of exasperation and everyone quickly agreed with her.
