This chapter is Dedicated to Abdooooool my newest buddy thanks for being here.
"No baba, he is a business man, he's Alhaji Abdulsalam Abdulrazaq that owns AA media and AA shoprite in Kaduna."
"That includes AA beverages?"
"Yes baba."
"That's a respected man in the country at large."
"With due respect sir , he is."
"Okay, less about him, what do you do for a living?"
"I run a chamber, in one of my dad's company, and I'm a lecturer in her school."
"Interesting, how comes no one told me that?"
"No one knew about that, I always hide my identity, I hate to brag."
"That's one good quality a Muslim should possess."
Fuad only nodded .
"So do you think you have enough to take good care of my daughter much more than I've done?"
"No one can ever love a child much more than her parents sir, but I'll do all my best to give her all I have sir."
"I like that confidence, so are you assuring me there would be no tear drops, no blood shed?"
"InshaAllah baba I'll never hurt her."
"Good, and as you can see, her mama is the only woman in my life, so it will be for her, no co wife, no side chicks."
It was funny how her Baba used such words but Fuad was careful not to laugh.
"Marriage is much more than I love you and the romance in it, it's a life time commitment, it's a sacrifice, you're sacrificing everything including yourself for her."
"Yes baba."
"I hope you know that."
"I do sir."
"All in all, I wish you the best of luck, my daughter don't have any bad side I'll stress about."
"Yes baba."
"I hope you love her like you'll die if you can't have her."baba smiled as he spoke.
"That explains my love for her baba."
"Good, I look forward to meeting your parents, my greetings to them all."
"InshaAllah."
The old lovers smiled as Fuad walked outside the house.
"Zayba come and see him off." mama ordered and so she did.
"Hey." Zayba spoke, as it was clear she didn't have any word to add.
"Hey, beautiful."
"How was the interview."
He let out a laugh and said " interview it was, did you mean marriage interview?"
They both laughed .
"So am I getting a yes today?"
"You have it already."
He smiled from ear to ear and said "can I get and I love you too today?"
"Is that a proper I love you?"
"I think we need a proper date, just the two of us."
"When?"
"If not that today sounds a little early, I wouldn't have mind."
"Nah..not today."
"Maybe some other time."
"Okay, should it be a dinner date or?"
"A picnic."
"Sounds cool, just let me know when you're ready."
"Sure."
"I love you."
Zayba only smiled and flew back to the house in her beautiful baby pink hijab.
He drove his car fast and away.
Zayba
"I think this is my first step to happily ever after." She spoke to herself out loudly.
She couldn't deny that she had same attraction towards him as he had towards her.
He's just everything in one man, he knows a lot about her but she didn't know much about him.
Zayba walked to her Mama's room as she saw that her Baba was out.
"Mama how did it go?"
Mama smiled and said "it went well Fuad is from a respected home, and your Dad likes him."
"Did Baba tell you that?"
"No he didn't he just looked like he likes him."
"Well that's good news."
"So tell me my child do you like him?"
Zayba shyly gave a head nod, "I love him, but I'm scared, so scared that he shouldn't be like the others."
"True, but he looks like he's sincere, I like him too."
Zayba squilled on hearing that, and ran back to her room, she hugged her pillow so tight and got lost in her imaginations, thought about what marriage will be like.
She had always been scared of marriage but this one time it was different, she felt very ready, she had never been that ready her whole life, maybe it was the right time.
And maybe Fuad is the right man.
She was lost in her thought when her phone buzzed and brought her head back to reality, it was Fuad he called too often since he started seeing her and she liked it.
"Hello, Assalamualaikum." She greeted with a wide grin that even the person on the other line could imagine it.
Awwwn!
