Unknowingly Married

~36~

Spare tire's POV
"Mom! Something is telling me I'm going to have to leave Abubakar soon." I said to my mom who I was talking to over the phone. "Why would you think that?! Just keep getting him closer to you so you can get all his money and properties." My mom muttered. (A/N: I haven't seen any messages for the competition, please if you don't want to participate let me know, and if I should cancel it let me know too).

"Of course mom! That's what I'm here for anyway and nothing more." I said and smirked. Yes you heard me right, I don't actually love Abubakar I just want him for his money. Although I once liked him, but that was when we were children. It's past tense now.

Anyway I ended the call with mama. And my stomach started growling. Ugh I hate when it does that. I sauntered towards the door and opened it before heading to the kitchen.

I got something to eat and went back to my room then started munching on it while thinking of a new way to get everything from Abubakar. You guys might think why am I doing this? Abubakar is my cousins so why am I betraying him? Well I don't care!
I don't care that he's my cousin I just want money.

I hope my plan succeeds before he regains his memory.

Manal's POV
Okay I'm freaking out! I literally don't know what to wear! What should I wear????
Ohk ok, let me say why I'm looking for something to wear. It's because Abubakar asked for us to go have dinner! Yes! Like a date! Ugh I'm so excited yet I don't know what to wear.

Ugh! I heard a knock on my door and I rolled my eyes thinking who the hell was at my door. I sauntered to the door and opened it. I saw Dia there and I mouthed an "oops".
"Come in." I muttered.

"Mom why do you sound so numb? Is something wrong?!" Dia asked.
"We'll your dad asked me out on a date and I'm excited and all but I'm also freaking out like what should I wear?! Would he like it?" I asked all at once. Dia  chuckled. Tbh I think of Dia not as my daughter but a bestfriend. Sometimes I even forget that I'm married and that she's my daughter. smh...

"Mom okay calm down I'll pick a dress for you." She muttered. "Thank you." I said giving her a smile. An awkward one.

Blue Cafe

I walked into the restaurant looking around to see if I could find him.
He waved at me and I smiled and headed to his table.

I sat down shyly wondering what the bell he wanted to tell me or why he asked us to have a date in the first place.
"Hello." He muttered.
"Hy." I replied curtly.

"Welcome." He said and I nodded. "So I called you here to talk about something." He said. "U-Uhm okay." I said nervousness flashing all over my face.

Moments of silence occurred until he decided to break it by calling my name which took me by surprise, I thought he thought spare tire was me?

"Manal." Came his soft but deep voice. I blinked repeatedly not believing my eyes thinking I was dreaming. I smacked my forehead before I realized oh, it's real!

"Are you okay?" He asked, a worried look masked his face. "Uhm no, I mean ofcourse I mean, yes." I said. Oh shit!

He chuckled and oh boy do I miss his chuckle. "So I wanted to tell you. I regained my memory. I know your my Manal, I love you Manal." He said.

I once again thought I was dreaming. "Y-you Abubakar are you serious?" I asked. "Babe." He said. And my eyes widened. "Does that answer your question?" He asked and chuckled.

"No! Wait! Under what circumstances did we get married?" I asked. I know it's dumb but...
"If I remember quite well we were married as kids." He said and a smile appeared on my face immediately. I stood up and hugged him while he hugged back.
