A trust is like a soulmate and a soulmate is like a self-respect and a self-respect is a like a pure white milk and once it's spilled it never get back to being pure again.

CHAPTER FIFTEEN
Third party
The moment he confessed he became a switched off mobile and kept mum, he became clueless about what to say next but all of a sudden got solace by what taheera whispered
“I love you too baby” she knows she has to say it sooner or later and just decided to give in.
“I love you to the moon and back. I won’t promise anything to you now but I will try my possible best to keep you happy and cheerful” he closes his eyes peacefully knowing that now is the perfect time to strike
But before he even utter a word she chipped in and intruded
“so what’s your next move? Hmm? Hmm?” she teased and giggled
“Will you go out on a date with me?”
“and?” she giggled again
“and officially be my soon to be Mrs?” he cluelessly asked tapping his right foot softly on a tile
“Don’t make it sound awkward!” she said sniggering
“With or without date Nurain Ali, the owner of Mai-Shayi café and also the new owner of my heart I will be your soon to be Mrs in Sha Allah”
“hey! you are the one making it sound awkward…what is this phase “ new owner of my heart” he said mimicking her and she busted out laughing
“i am the actual owner of your heart, it has been written all over your face since the day you were born and that’s why all the guys you dated vanished from you because I am the real Mr…so cool down I am not the new but the actual owner okay!” he said cheerfully making it sound like a squabble warning
“Yes sir!”
“I am not your sir, I am your sweetheart!” he squabble warned again
“easy there…my sweetheart!”
“Is tomorrow great for our first date?” he asked
“Yes tomorrow is good”
“okay then…goodnight?”
“Yeah night sweetheart sleep tight”
“Awwn she just call me me sweetheart I am going to have a peaceful sleep today!” he whined
“you know…for the past few days I’ve not been sleeping well, thoughts of you and how to confess my love has always been my weakness during the night you know…but from now on I will be sleeping peacefully and lightly, snoring, whispering your name till I woke up”
“I guess I have finally got a submitting boyfriend now” she snicked and so did he
They bedded goodnight to each other and dropped the call.
She grabbed her phone and make her way to her bedside table and kept it. Moments later there comes a sound knock at the door and she knows it’s either khalifa or their cousin Abba who used to stay with them during his NYSC last year besides them no one would knock but still she didn’t mind and stood up to open it.
It was Faridah, she’s the one knocking shamelessly or I should say down at heel. She stepped aside letting her in since they both own the room. She climbed up her bed and dragged her duvet cover, but just she was about to lean on her pillow she heard a whispered of sorry out of the blue nonetheless she didn’t mind her and beam at her saying it’s okay
“Don’t forget to off your lamp light please…I woke up with a migraine this morning because of the light” she said sounding like nothing happens between them
“Sure” she replied so low sounding like a whisper
~•~
She could see the sun rays in full glare streaming in through the drawn curtain of the window opposite her. Checking her phone clock, it was after 6.
“Oh Lord I can’t believe I missed my subh prayer”
She got up and rushed to the bathroom, took her bath, brushed her teeth and performed ablution. After she finished praying, she woke farida up then started folding her duvet and made her bed. Just she was about to step out Nurain’s call came through.
Morning riena” she blushed a bit hearing his voice
Morning my Ray of sunshine”
You can be this romantic! Awwn I finally got the girl of my dream” he practically screamed and that makes her chuckled a bit
“ready for our date?”
She practically frowned her face out of confusion and repeat the word date but still sloppy to get the line.
“yes I know we have a date to hold today but why do you sound like you want it to be now” she’s still in confusion
“Because it have to be now…remember I am no ordinary guy, I am nurain Ali the real owner of your heart!”
“Are you for real!? Now?” she hold up the phone to her face and take a gaze at the time then brought it back to her ear
“It’s 7:08 now and you want to go on a date instantly? Nurain! Babe I am hungry let me eat first, take a shower, get what to wear you know…” she kept on trying to dodge but unfortunately this is nurain Ali and there is no escape plan
“that’s why I want it to be now so that I will cook for you…I will make your breakfast so be ready I am almost at your place. And don’t bother to wear anything pretty your hoodie is with me I am bringing it” he hang up the call
She groaned and turned around to see Farida’s eyes on her
“What?”
Faridah laughed “nothing”
“don’t worry I will inform ammi so just go”
“No let me go tell her myself so that she won’t scolds us like she did before and besides you know her. (Abu ba abuba yanxu tace kanayin kashin kanka sabida ka rainata) it’s nothing much but you know she would say you are being disrespectful” she said raising her eyebrows
“Wallahi Kam Ashe kin Mata farin sani… nima muje daga Nan nahada breakfast da wuri (oh you knew her right…let’s go together so that I will prepare breakfast early too ” they laughed and left together.
Ring ring ring
Ring…
“riena I am at the gate come take your hoodie” he said through the phone
“on my way” she dropped the call
She walked out of the kitchen in a haste leaving farida preparing breakfast. She walked out of the house where she found him standing with a medium size bag.
“Here” he handed the bag to her
“do you know that you are looking extremely handsome right now” he blushed and she smiled
“here…it will look more beautiful on you I am assure of that” he winked at her lovingly
“wait I will be back in a bit okay!” she left hurriedly
Some minutes later she got back wearing the hoodie, tying a perfect match veil in a ponytail style, she looks so great and her fair complexion suited the hoodie.
He can’t keep his eyes away from her.
“ya Allah don’t take away my life without me being this lady's husband” he mentally prayed
As I promised!
