OUR DESTINY

Part 26

Zakiya P. O. V

To say am shocked it's an understatement am so full of joy my body feels so weak I feel so tried and just feeling like am not the same these few months has taken a toll on me like it was much more than stressful I wasn't even able to tell anyone how I was feeling then because I thought it was fever at first I didn't give it much attention and because I hardly see my period on time I could not predict it was pregnancy until these morning that I woke up feel sick nuisance and so weak I didn't even know when we reached to the hospital but Alhamdulillah after all that mama hafsa has said against me Allah has blessed me with a joy I haven't seen my other half and I know it's because of mama and the rest that he didn't want to come and see me but hopefully he should be the one to take me home and before I could even ask of him there was my baby dressed in his white kaftan and brown cap he always look so dashing in white I couldn't take my eyes on him and just as mama and Aunty left the home he came and hug me so tightly kiss my forehead and said

       Baby thank you for giving me this joy
       Thank you for making me a father
        Thank you for bearing with me all these while and am sorry for not giving you the attention that you deserve am sorry for not noticing all these while that you've been stressed am really sorry babyna I love you so much no matter what I say wouldn't be enough.

Haleema P. O. V

After reaching kaduna I got a call these morning from nadeeya breaking the good news to me but I still couldn't call zakiya she must still be in the hospital her phone might not even be with her so instead I called Yaya Saleem he didn't pick too knowing those two lovebirds they might be together and not even knowing whose calling may Allah bless their union. I took my bath and decided to rest for a while since Hisham his with grandma I will have enough time to rest for today or even for a week mama said I shouldn't stress myself much since he can be given formulated milk there's no need for me to worry I can bring him to her at anytime bashir has been less busy these days he spends more time with me than his work not like before that the only thing he gives much attention to was his work 24/7 after i  got pregnant he requested for a transfer so he could be close to me but it wasn't approve there was nothing we could do so I decided to just go back home since I was already 8month even though his mom wasn't happy with my decision she just had to let me go I can't be staying alone in the house with me being pregnant what if I got into un unexpected labour even though we're lose to his parents but what's the use if my own husband isn't here to support me. After giving birth he was transferred to Abuja from there things started getting better between us.

Hajiya hafsa P. O. V

I know  now everyone will put the blame on me for stressing zakiya this and that but I don't really care I know I promised to be a good mother inlaw to her just for the sake of my daughter that's married but it takes time and I got influenced by Maryam and shafa if not all these wouldn't have happened its not like I even cared for Saleem am not his mother to bother about his wife getting pregnant or not but you know how friends are like sometimes even if you don't wish to act their will make sure you compel to their gossip and how I know those my friends their must have been gossiping about it if not they wouldn't make me do all these its not in my place but Alhamdulillah am really happy at least if not for anything am going to be a grandma after she got discharge I made some pepper soup fruit juice and almond milk for her taking care of her should be my duty now if not as her mother inlaw but as a grandma i just wish and pray for her safe delivery.

Yusuf P. O. V

Mama has been on my neck this few days since baba returned back she's been acting different taking extra care of him and making me to pretend to be responsible that I have changed well that's my mama for you all she cares about its the property that he has and nothing else after baba accident I have decided that am going to start being careful with my actions but it will take time still am going to try to behave myself baba met with Saleem after his accident I didn't tell mama because she will make it be like am the one whose being acting careless and all I wish to change for my own good not for her own motive I want to be there for my father I want to become responsible so I could be able to take care of him and his business. Saleem will not show any interest in what baba has earned all through the years he has his own life and family to care for so even for the sake of that I need to change into a new person if not all these that mama is doing can affect baba's health her being over nice its just to get rid of him and nothing else if not why will she be doing things she usually doesn't do and baba has notice that's why he hardly eats what she cooks.
