Scars of undying grief

Chapter 43

@kheedy and @khadyjatt Hey girls! my newest readers, thank you a fold, this chapter is dedicated to you both, I know you've been waiting for the update, I'm sorry it took too long.

Shortly after boarding, they sat comfortably next to each other happily.

"Oh hey, where's my goruba?"

"That reminds me, do you know I almost guessed you were pregnant when you asked for it?"

"For real?"

"Yes, you've never eaten that before, even if you have there's none that I know of."

The woman exploded with laughter before saying "I was surprised too, you know I've been having some unusual cravings lately, I just kind of exercise patience, I mean I know it will be wrong to wake you up at 2:00am and demand for agbalumo (African star fruit/ cherry) right?"

"Haha, well I won't say it's wrong, I can do anything for you."

The woman arched an eyebrow before saying " like what exactly?"

"Okay, like killing cockroaches, hunting lizards, slaughtering filthy rats, shooting soldier ants, and lots of this things that needs excess energy."

Her lips dragged wide revealing her complete set of teeth as he watched her in amusement.

"You mean all of those need excess energy right?"

"Yes of course, the list is long I can go on and on you know, like roasting grasshoppers, and.."

Zayba couldn't control her laughter, it took minutes of gasping for air before she could relax.

"Baby ba zaka kashe ni.(you're so full of it.)"

"Haha, I know right ."

"There's a few goruba in my backpack should I fetch two out?"

"Make it three."

"Don't you think it's kind of not on point to eat goruba out here?"

"Who cares?"

"Yeah, who cares. Cinye abunki kin ji, (eat the whole of it).

As soon as the woman begin to chew the nut, Fuad sneaked his phone out to make a quick Snapchat video and captioned it "we are expecting !"

Shortly after that a tall pretty woman from the cabin crew who's skirt looks so good on walked to the couples and said "excuse me ma'am, you're not allowed to eat stuff of this sort on board, kindly pass it to me."

"Hell no, I thought this is a VIP setting , and I'm allowed to do my thing?"

"With due respect ma yes, but this is for your own good."

"You have no idea whats for my own good, please go and do your job and let me be."

"Excuse me please miss , can you spare me some seconds." Fuad quickly cuts through their conversation.

"Go ahead sir, are you related to This woman." She said pointing at Zayba.

"Yes very related, she is my wife and she's carrying my baby and that's why she's eating that."

"I'm sorry about that sir, but protocols are supposed to be observed."

"I understand your point, I just need you to act like you didn't see her, her happiness is all that matters."

"Okay sir."

"Good now here's a tip for that." He looked into his navy blue blazers pocket and brought a thousand Naira note, and pressed it to her palms.

"Thank you."

"Thank you sir. She replied before taking her leave.

"Women and drama."

"Baby so you're calling me a drama queen?"

"You know I was talking about her right?"

"You said women and you clearly have me beside you."

"I'm sorry baby I was referring to the woman alone and the likes of her."

"Are you sure?"

"A hundred percent."

"If you're sure eat this goruba with me."

"You know I don't eat goruba, it's not my thing."

"If you don't eat it, then that statement was general and you like the cabin woman more than me."

"Okay pass me the goruba."

"Good boy."

"I want you to know that, there are more than four billion women in the world, but it's either you or no one else."

"Awwwn, don't make me cry please."

She said almost tearing up.

"Don't, a woman like you deserve the world and so much more, I could gift you the world but the thing is where do we keep mama and Baba?"

With a gentle slap on his shoulder and her lips wide open, she said "you never seize to amaze me, one minute you're serious the next you're not, some times you get me confused."

"You know I'm serious, wether it comes as a joke or not right?"

"Right, and you know what? If you ever gift me the world, I'll have to bring in the people I like most right?"

"I mean it yours you can do whatever it is that you want with it." He replied as he rapped his left arm around her shoulder.

He planted a soft sweet kiss on her forehead as she leaned in for a hug and whispered a slow "I love you."

Awwwn!
