Unknowingly Married

~07~

Hameeda's POV
"Usman, I think it's about time we tell these children about the truth." I muttered. "What? Hameeda are you out of your mind?" Usman asked. "Usman I'm totally fine, after all even their grandparents wanted us to let them know when their fully grown." I muttered.

"Yes but not at this moment." He muttered. "Usman, what if one of them come out with someone that they want to marry? Their lives would be ruined, no I can't." I muttered. "They won't do that hameeda, can't you see that even aliyu lawal and his wife haven't told Abubakar yet? What's wrong with you?" Usman muttered.

I rolled my eyes and left the room.

"Wallahi Usman if you don't make a decision for us to tell these children I'll tell them myself." I muttered with seriousness in my voice. "Hameeda calm down, I'll think of how to tell them." Usman muttered. "Gara."(better).

After some time, Usman called me to talk. "I called aliyu and asked if he's in town and he said he is." Usman muttered. "And so?" I asked since I was already pissed off. "So... we should go and ask if they still remember it and so we can call the children and speak to them." He muttered and I was happy and felt relief.

"Alhamdullillah, let's go." I said. "No calm down hameeda, let's go tomorrow." He said and I nodded. I layed down on the bed peacefully since we were already in the room and the news made me happy.

The next morning~
Today I woke up early and got ready quickly. I woke Usman up to get ready and he did so. He called aliyu to find out if he was at home and if haleema was at home too. They were both at home.

"Hanifa! Manal! Hafsah!" I called. "Na'am." They all chorused numbly. "Me and your father are going out, we will be back soon." I muttered. "Toh se kundawo."(okay till you come back). They muttered and we left.

We got to Mr.Aliyu's home and rang the bell. A maid opened the door for us and went to call them. They came down after sometime. "Aliyu." Usman muttered.

"Yes usman?" Aliyu muttered. "Umm... me and my wife came here to see if you... you still remember the childrens grandparents last wishes." Usman stammered.

"Yes... w- we very well remember." Aliyu said. "My wife thinks is about time we tell them." Usman muttered and I nodded. "Yes my wife says the same." He said.

"L- let's call the children." I muttered and aliyu picked up his phone and called Abubakar to come. "Manal, meet us at Abubakar lawal's house." Usman muttered after Manal answered the call.

After a bit, the children arrived. "Abubakar, Manal, sit down." I muttered and they obeyed.

Manal's POV
I was sitting down on the couch, munching on some snacks and watching TV, when baba called me. I picked up my phone and quickly answered the call.

"Hello?" I said waiting for an answer. "Manal meet us at Abubakar lawal's house." Baba muttered and I was shocked. What could they be doing there and why would they call me?

I quickly stood up and picked up my bag, I let hanifa and hafsah know I was going there. I went out of the house and asked the driver to take me there, me not in the mood to drive.

We got there after sometime and I got into the house to find mama and baba and also Abubakar's parents. I also saw Abubakar sitting which meant they also called him here. Could it be regarding the secret?

"Abubakar,manal, sit down." Mama muttered and we nodded and sat. " we have been hiding somethings from you two since your childhood, and we think it's about time we let you know." Mr.aliyu(Abubakar's dad) said. Me and Abubakar looked at each other totally confused.

"Okay." We said nervously. "Before your grandfathers died, they both asked us for their last wish to be fulfilled, this last wish was that-" baba said and paused.
