OUR DESTINY

part 24

Saleem P.O.V

It was Friday after our Juma'a prayer me and baba decided to visit the man I took to the hospital i didn't want to go but deep down something was pushing my buttons because am scared that what baba said about that man might end up becoming my reality which am not yet ready to face Allah knows but hopefully nothing of any such will occurred after returning home I ate my lunch and went straight to the family house to pick baba so we can go together. I met mama together with hajiya he was telling her about his suspicious of the man we saw at the hospital and thankful the best way to clear all the doubt it's to approach him with the issue if his the one then I might forgive him and move on with my life living with that burden has been eating me all up which has affected almost everything in my life I know he has wronged my mother but if she can forgive him so can I that's just the best thing I can do for myself and my family at these moment I entered with  Salam and greeted them both after then we left together with baba.

Baba's P. O. V

Saleem I know things have been difficult for you recently but please instead of making it more difficult for yourself why don't you just free yourself from all these stress and have your peace of mind if you're having a doubt or some kind of connection with this man why don't you find a way to approach him because honestly speaking I don't wish to lie to you but your biological father I have done some background check on him and just yesterday I found that his your real father I know it's seems shocking or sounds somehow to you but please my son talk to him and let's move ahead of all these melodrama in our lives it's really affecting all of us most especially you and your wife.

  OK baba I was also thinking of the same thing I made dua to Allah to give me the courage to do so and this morning I took the decision of talking to him so I can have my peace of mind and move on with my life I don't want to hold any grudge against him he might be my biological father but to me you're my real father you're my hero and I will always look up to you and will forever consider you to be my father for as long as I breath baba may Allah grant you jannatul firdausi that's all I can wish for because for whatever you have done for me I can never repay you back Thank you so much baba for always been there for me through every stage of my life.

Saleem P. O. V

Alhamdulillah it's been 5month since our encounter with Alhaji shamsu I have talked to him and I made everything clear to him that he might be my biological father but I consider Alhaji Mansur as my own father he was there with me when I needed him the most so I won't be an ungrateful child by going back to someone who i just meant recently I have forgiven him because we all make mistakes after reaching out to him I realize that he is also in deep pain and troubles having a son like Yusuf it's really so painful and heartbreaking no one deserve an irresponsible child no matter what you've done in your life he wanted me to back with him but I couldn't I just can't and seeing the atmosphere of his family his wife and son will believe I came back because of the property Alhamdulillah am content with whatever I have though after he was discharge from the hospital he stayed with baba for some few weeks before his family came to visit him baba's kindness it's beyond words they've gotten along with baba well as for me I can't say if we had a good bond but I respect him as him being my father and that's it nothing more than that i started my life afresh and move on. It's was Fajr time when we woke up to pray together with my hayati I decided to do the abulation first and came to wake her up subhanallahi she was shivering with fever and her body was so cold I have been noticing her for the past few days she hasn't been herself but doesn't want to show me and I was so into my family issues that I didn't pay much attention to my wife, ya Allah I quickly rush her to the hospital I know it's all my fault she's so stressed out and I didn't even notice it innalilah.

Halima P. O. V

Life has not been easy for both my family Yaya Saleem has been through alot each time I feel like it's over he goes through hardship one way or the other but what's life without difficulties his patience enough to get through every difficulty it might come his way by will of Allah on the other hand since I gave birth it hasn't been easy oooo I never knew being a mother has so much to offer i hardly get time to time especially in the night Hisham doesn't sleep during the night hours Thank God Nadiya doesn't sleep early she has always been the one helping me with him so I could get some sleep as for mama she has been nagging and pestering yaya zakiya for not getting pregnant it's only been 5month to their wedding but those are friends will not let us hear word they've been instigating mama that she has gotten her son a barren is and that people of our society will never change whatever you do they will always gossip they will always talk is either their have forgotten that both marriage, child birth and death are all the will of Allah and you can't have all of them at the same time. Zakiya has been stressful over everything from Yaya Saleem to mama's nagging she's been absent minded recently whenever she comes to see Hisham she will always be deep in her own thoughts I don't know how to console her but how I know her she will pray about it and Allah will surely guide her through and make everything normal.

Alhaji Mansur P. O. V

It was Fajr time I was about going to the masjid when I saw Saleem rushing out of his house without even noticing me around we usually go to the masjid together with that I rush to the masjid to pray just in time immediately I came out of the masjid his call came through we greeted and he told me about zakiya's condition I didn't want to bother her parents so I called the driver and we rushed down to the hospital and Alhamdulillah she's in a better condition when we reached. Seeing her she was so stressed out for the past few months she has not been herself but she was able to see Saleem through his struggles the fact that hafsa has been disturbing her with childbirth and everything could be the reason why she was stressed out ya Allah I just hope we didn't fail in upholding the promise we made to her father to take care of her she's an Amana given to us.

Doctor khamisu P. O. V

After observing zakiya we took some tests and she's been stressed out even her BP it's high I called Saleem to my office to ask if there's anything stressing his wife out that her BP has gone very high but he said all was fine well as a doctor am not supposed to interfere into their family matters but as their family doctor all I could do was advice him to please look after his wife he should pay more attention to her because she's really not in a good condition she's 6weeks 5days pregnant you shouldn't be so careless towards her what if because of all these stress she had miscarriage I don't really think you all will be happy she has anemia I guess she doesn't even know she's pregnant she wouldn't have let herself to be so stressed out. To my own surprise Saleem was shocked when I said she was pregnant.
