JAUDAH

CHAPTER 29

JAUDAH'S POV

Jaudah and Zain decided to go Maui an Island in Hawaii for honeymoon, Zain has booked a flight for us and we will be leaving in the next two days, so today, we decided to go visit our parents, I was getting ready in my room when Zain walked in already dressed up looking handsome in his coffee kaftan which stopped above his knee, he wore a black zanna bukar cap and a black sandal, I smiled at him which he returned as he walked up to me and stood behind me zipping up my six pieces gown, I whispered a thank you to him and continued with what I was doing before he walked in. I finished applying my makeup and tied my scarf while Zain helped me with my veil and bag and we walked out of the room holding each other's hand.

"You look beautiful wifey", he said squeezing my hand with a full blown smile on his face.

"You don't look bad yourself Raja", i said as we reached the compound where his car was parked.

I was surprised to see Bala our driver was already seated in the driver's seat. I looked at  Zain to ask him why he's not driving but he beat me to it.

"I don't feel like driving today, and so i asked him to drive", he said

"Well, you should have asked me instead, i can now drive you know", I said jokingly

He only smiled and opened the door for me while I get in and he got in after me, we all settled down and Bala drove out of our residence to my In laws.

Our house is not far from my In laws house, it's just a 5minutes drive, Bala parked in the compound and we both got out and walked in, Zain rang the doorbell, soon enough a maid opened it and we walked in with a tasleem.

"Assalamu alaikum", we chorused

"Ameen wa alaikumus salam", Ummi who was on a three seater reciting the Holy Qur'an answered.

"My daughter it's you", she said smiling while i squatted beside her.

"Yes Ummi, Ina wuni (good afternoon)", i greeted

"Lafiya lau my daughter (afternoon) stand up and seat beside me", i stood up and sat beside her while Zain sat opposite us not after greeting his mother.

A maid brought in refreshments for us as I was asking for Fareeda.

"What about Fareeda Ummi, is she not home?", I asked

"She's in her room my dear, she was having cramps earlier so i gave her some painkiller, and she slept off, she hasn't woken up since then", Ummi said

"I wish her quick recovery", I said

"Let me go check on her", I added as I stood up and walk to the stairs leaving the mother and son to have some time of their own.

********************

Knock knock I knocked on Fareeda's door before opening it and walking in with a tasleem, she was still sleeping soundly looking cute like a baby, I took out my phone and snapped her planning on sending it to her letter as I walked to her bathroom to ease my bladder.

I came out to see her awake pressing her phone, she looked fairer and pale,

"Hey, you're awake", i said walking up to her.

"When did you get here?", She asked surprised.

"Awhile ago, Ummi told me you were having cramps and I came in to check up on you, how are you feeling now?", I asked touching her neck and forehead.

"I'm much better now, thanks to the painkiller", she said sitting up.

"How far about your trip, are you done with the shopping and everything?", She asked

"Yes oo, I can't wait to leave this Abuja and travel with my hubby for a while", i said happily sitting on the bed.

"Ehnn, say it to those that don't have husband, thank God me I will be getting married soon", she said hitting my back with a pillow.

"My friend wait till you get married before you brag", I said and she eyed me saying

"Abeg joor, how many months left before I join the clique, please oo leave me alone, as you're seeing me today I'm not in the mood", she retorted

"But seriously Jaudah are you sure you're not pregnant, by Allah you look like a pregnant woman", she said sharply

"I'm not Fareeda, if I am you will all know, infact I even did a test recently and it came out negative", I said  feeling down all of a sudden.

"I'm so sorry for bringing this topic up after knowing it's a sensitive one for you", she said apologetically.

"It's ok, you don't have to be sad about it, I know it's a matter of time since our doctor said we're both capable", I assured her

We kept on chatting until it was time and I prayed while she took her bath, after she got ready we went down together, Ummi forced me to drink some fura and nono saying it's good for the body, I drank some and it taste heavenly, after I was done I thank her and we bid them goodbye before leaving the house to my parents.

*********************

When we got to my parents house I couldn't wait for Zain to open the car door for me as I sprinted out of the car to the living room calling Ammi's name.

"Ya Allah, Jaudah mataa satanmu? (Jaudah when will you grow?)", Ammi asked shaking her head.

"'ana saeid biruyatik faqat Ammi (I'm just happy to see you Ammi), it's been long since I came here and I miss you alot", I said hugging her.

"Last I checked you were here last week", she said frowning.

"Ammiii", I wyned

"'alast saeidan liruyati? (Aren't you happy to see me?)", I asked

"Off course I am, but I need you to change, you're no longer a kid, you have to stop running and screaming like that, be a lady with class", Ammi scolded vehemently

"I will change Inshallah", I promised and Zain smiled at us.

"Good evening Ammi", he greeted my mother squatting

"Evening my son, c'mon sit and don't mind this girl, she will never grow", Ammi said before calling the maid to bring in something for Zain.

"Ammi you shouldn't bother, I'm not hungry at the moment, maybe later", he said.

"Are you guys having dinner here?", She asked looking at both of us.

"Yes Ammi", Zain answered

Ammi nodded and told the maid to increase the amount of food she will be cooking for dinner.

We continued gisting about everything and nothing and I couldn't believe how Zain was so free with Ammi these days , they really got along well.

Ya Adeel later came in and he kept teasing me as always, Abie was out of town, he  went to Katsina to see his mom and Ya Faruq is still not back from school, he still has 3 months to go, Ya Ammar is married so we rarely meet nowadays and Ya Hydar as we all know is in Kaduna with his pregnant wife and children.

By the time it was Magrib Zain and Ya Adeel went to the mosque while me and Ammi went upstairs to pray.

We all gathered at the dinning after Isha and ate our dinner before bidding them goodbye and going back home exhausted.
