YASEER'S POV



The smile that formed on my face when i opened my eyes to look at the love of my life back at the hospital was the same one that was plastered on my face this moment.I watched as Noor kicked her tiny legs in the air as if throwing a tantrum and Sabih whining- I didn't even notice until i heard my wife scream from the bathroom."YASEER!!! can't you hear that Sabih is crying?!" Her voice immediately made me to jerk up from the bed and go to Sabih's cot. I picked him up, but he continued to cry. "Come on, don't cry, daddy's here with you." i patted his little butt,but this little boy continued to cry.This time, he increased the tone of his cry.I never knew that babies could be such small and cute demons.They are just a way to say goodbye to a life of your own."YASEER!!!" His mother came out of the bathroom with her towel wrapped around her chest and water dripping from her hair.She instantly collected the crying baby from me and........Guess what...He became silent that instant.I just stood there like Whaaaat??!And that's when the most shocking thing happened. He began to giggle.The crying baby that i had in my arms few seconds ago was no longer crying in Hauwa's arms....and he even giggled!"Just few seconds that i spent in the bathroom, and you made him cry..urgh." Hauwa rolled her eyes at me as she put him down on our bed."I was literally patting him to stop crying." I defended."By screaming in his face?"What?!What did this lady mean?How on earth did i shout in his face."You have to control your temper, they're babies you know." she blew dried her hair. I think it was all a big set up.This past few days have been sooooo hectic for me.Go to work, run errands for my wife, help her with the kids and do you know the worst of all?WE TAKE TURNS TO PAT THE BABIES.In the morning, it's Hauwa's turn and at night, you know who's turn it is.To be frank with you, if you want to have a baby, you have to be emotionally, physically, mentally and temper-wise okay.If not so, you'll just kill your own child out of frustration.I didn't respond, because if I did, it'll be an argument that would never end.As i approached the door to leave, I heard sniffs.I turned around to see who it was.Hauwa was crying. But why?I walked to the dressing mirror where she was sitting.Her head was bent on the table."What happened baby girl?" I wrapped my arms around her."Just leave me. since you were going to just ignore me and our kids and just leave, then leave." She flung my arms off her shoulders.I swallowed a lump of saliva and searched for the right words to use, if not so, she'll say i insulted her.Since she gave birth, she suddenly transformed into a non-stop drama queen."I'm sorry bae, I didn't intend to hurt you." I apologized."What about the kids?" she frowned at me as she stared deep into my eyes.






HAUWA'S POV


Yaseer has been going hard on the kids lately.

He's suppose to know that they are kids and they have no idea about anything they do.Once I was done dressing, I went downstairs to prepare breakfast- we don't have a cook anymore because I said so.It was a Saturday, so Yaseer was obviously at home to help me with the babies.Noor was as quiet as a silent knight. She'd only cry if she was hungry or had her diaper filled.But as for Sabih on the other hand, he's just like his father.He almost drives me crazy, so that's why I like Yaseer to handle him.But alas, Yaseer just makes it worse.As i poured the waffle mixture into the waffle machine, I heard Yaseer call my name."Bae i got some important business to take care of. The babies are asleep, see you later." He said all in one breath not even giving me a chance to speak before disappearing.AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!I know he's doing what he's doing on purpose.After eating my breakfast, I went to pump some milk since the babies were asleep.Pumping milk is a much more easier way to feed your baby. Just use the pump to bring out milk, store in clean containers in the freezer,then heat them up when needed.Makes life much more easier.Since i was a stay at home wife and mom, I just basically clean the house, play and feed the babies and prepare food for Yaseer.That was my new routine.****




SAFIYA'S POV

The burden of not telling Umma what Ya Amir has been up to all these days he says he's going to workhas been haunting me.I know I am not helping matters by not speaking, but if I speak it'll even be worse."Keh!"I Umma snapped her fingers in front of my eyes. "What are you thinking about?"I just shook my head and said "Nothing."I turned to look at the wall clock and it read 9pm and Ya Amir was not back home.Where was he? Few minutes later, a big bang on the front door made Umma and I frightened.My spirit nearly left my body that moment.
 Umma rose up to answer the door."Umma don't open it," My heart raced. "It could be a thief."Umma turned on the light on the porch and asked "Who is there?""Umma...Umma..open the...door..Umma.."Ya Amir voice sounded scared and he was breathing so fast as if he had ran a marathon.Umma quickly unlocked the door with no second thoughts.As Umma opened the door, Ya Amir rushed inside and locked the door immediately.He had dirt on his face, his clothes looked tattered and several beads of sweat fell from his forehead."What happened?"Umma became worried.Silence followed by Ya Amir's heavy breathing filled the atmosphere. "W..at...er."He gasped for air.Umma instantly went to get him water. Once he was done drinking the entire glass, his breathing became normal."Ya Amir what happened? "I inquired.He looked at me then shifted his gaze to Umma."As i was returning from work, the car that i was in got attacked by some robbers. Fortunately, I managed to escape and ran all the way home." He explained."SUBHANALLAH!!! Glory Be to Allah,"Umma pulled her son into her arm. "Thank God you escaped, I can't afford to lose another loved one." She kissed his hair.After we embraced each other, I offered to help Ya Amir carry his bag up to his room since he said he was so tired and needed to rest."No! Leave IT! I mean, don't worry, I'll carry it myself." He snatched the bag from me and left for his room.


Now I know he's definitely hiding something in that bag.

My instincts are telling me that the story of the robbers that Ya Amir told Umma and I is all fake 

Umma needs to know before the police does and we all get into trouble.
