Scars of undying grief

Chapter 14

Fuad

The best moments of life are the moments that counts not the ones we count.

She was just everything he need and even more, she was fun to be with, she's funny, she knows her limits, she's very understanding, she's witty, she's got her Deen on her sleeves everyone could see it, she was the girl of his dreams, he still couldn't understand how she manages the social life and her deen so perfectly, everyone of them in moderate proportions, civilization had it's meaning with her alone.

His eyes for a moment fixed a gaze on one creature, her, He watched as she laughed so hard to his mare jokes while he rested his back on the tree bark with legs crossed, then he cuts through the laughter and said,

"Let's get married Zaybah." He spoke directly through her eyes and those words teleported to her heart. She stopped laughing, but still held a small smile.

"Not so soon." She replied with her gaze to the ground.

"I don't know what to wait for, I don't see anything to wait for. Let's do this please!"  His heart ached for her.

"There's no hurry in life."

"You don't understand what you do to me, I want you to myself alone, I don't want other men breathing around you, I want every perfect and imperfections of you, I want you exactly the way you're."

She was mute, but was still wearing a small smile.

They both went silent for a moment. His eyes never living her face, but she averted her eyes from him, her eyes were on the leaves of the neem tree close to where they were sitted it was moving in sync with the wind, he saw that too and quickly averted his eyes back to her.

"I think we should go now, it's already six in the evening." She spoke.

"As much as I don't want to miss you, I must take you back home."

She gave a head nod, they sang all through the journey, this time from her playlist.

They were both happy, as they wished it would last forever.

The happy couples came out of the car laughing.

"Thank you so much Fuad, this is one of the best days of my life."

"Awwn, you're welcome, I want the rest of my days with you Zaybah, happy or sad, I want them, I want you." He then moved closer to her and whispered "this is just the beginning." To her ears.

The corners of her lips lifted, and he winked.

"So I should go now."

"Yes , you should, I was just hoping for a hug you know."

"It's not for free sir."

"How do I get it?"

"You should earn it." And then she bounced away.

He bit his lips as he entered his car, "ya Allah, let me take a moment not to ask for a thing, I just want Zaybah, just Zaybah ." he prayed, not forgetting to rub his praying hands on his face and chest and drove away.

***

Fuad had told his Mom hajiya Asma'u all about Zaybah, his siblings Abdullah, Zakari ya'u, Salim and fatima, all have heard about her, they all couldn't wait to meet her.

"Trust me , you'll love her." Fuad kept assuring them.

So he had to make plans for Zaybah to meet his family.

On a Tuesday morning he drove her to school he told her about her meeting his family and she didn't question it, as it was her new family she was going to meet. "I can't wait to meet them either." Was the response she gave.

They made plans for that he took her to meet them, and they were all pleased to see her, they all liked her, and could not wait to have them married , well except for his paternal Aunty, Aunt Hadiza, she has always hated everybody in the house, always thinking she knows what's best for them, Aunt Hadiza has already made plans for Fuad and Yusrah.

Yusrah her daughter, was dark and beautiful well behaved and gentle, but Fuad never had interest in her, Aunt Hadiza has refused to understand that, but at the time being Fuad has made a choice, his choice, no one would dare to change that, his Mama was okay with the decision and has always respected the decisions Fuad made, Fuad has always made good decisions.
