You could hear laughter in the living room,it was non other than me and my cousin Fatima also my brothers wife
You girls what are you laughing at? Tanti shouted across the room. My mother but we call her tanti which means Aunty in fulani
"Nothing we were just watching a funny video that's all" I said. Zainab all you do is laugh why can't you just find something to do with your life huh? See all your age mates are getting married, having kids and all you do is eat, press phone and watch C-drama and BTS Aren't you tired of this life you live?
You are 22, Tanti said.
I couldn't help but cry you know what Tanti I'm tired of you shouting at me every single day, so what if I'm not married? It's not my fault that I am single and when I have interest in someone all of you ruin it for me and now u blame me for not getting married?
You know what am tired just leave me alone, all of you. Zainab come here my daughter you know how much I love u and it hurts to see you like this after what happened to you and Saeed you were about to get married and at the end he went on to marry his cousin, let it out honey and am sorry for saying those things to you. Why don't you do as your brother say and accept Mohammed hmm, ma.. u know i don't like him and he is so full of himself. Fine Zainab we won't talk about him ever again I promise.

Minutes later.
Ahmad came by
Salaam Zayana " that's Ahmad for you with him calling me Zayana " Salaam i replied with an angry voice, What's wrong he asked and i lied uhhmm it's nothing why are you at our place i thought you were in Portugal, no Zayana i came back yesterday. I texted u but u didn't reply so i came here.. so tell me what's going on did your mom talked about you not getting married and stuff? He asked and i just nodded then I started crying and he came close to hug me which of course I didn't allow and he understood.

Skip

We where setting at my balcony
so Zayana your elder brothers and sisters wants you to get married to that guy. huh? Interesting, i mean he is rich and all what more could you ask for? Love Ahmadou love i want love, i need love.that guy doesn't love me he is just obsessed with me that's all, and just because he knew about what that guy saeed did, he will try by all means to ruin my peace of mind. Ahmad I'm tired i just want to have a very peaceful life that's all i ever wanted, or is it too much to ask for. I know its a test from Allah which i don't mind,
Zayana cool down pls, you know what how about we go on a trip to Guinea you and me. What do you say? You know my sister talks about you everyday saying she misses you alot and she even asked me to take you along. Okay fine i actually need that right now, so when are we leaving? The day after tomorrow in sha Allah he replied. Okay but first i have to tell my mother, no need Zayana she knows and yes uncle know about it. I talked with them first before asking u to come with me, Ahh Ahmad you are too much
Thank you for doing this

Back in my room and Alhamdudillah i was feeling much better thanks to Ahmad , he has Always been there for me and i don't know what I'd do without him.
May Allah bless him with a pious wife and a happy home. i said to myself guinea Conakry here we come.

We arrived safe in guinea Conakry
So Zayana when will you visit me Ahmad asked
Uhmmm the day after tomorrow in sha Allah. you know I have to go say Hi to my uncle's right? Yes ma see you on Sunday then miss me okay, everyday Ahmadou I answered.

Today is the day I will visit my relatives, yeah I hate the idea but what can I do they are my relatives after all and if I don't visit them my mom will be angry.
Zainab are you ready my sister asked me yes I am let's go I answered.
So we arrived at my Aunt's house for the naming ceremony obviously lucky me
I don't know many people here, but I do know most of them though
I was sitting inside my aunt's room eating when I heard people talking and I heard them say my name so I listened carefully
You know she is here today unbelievable, she has no shame. Sis I agree like if I was her I'd not even come here shameless
I was super angry and wanted to go out when my aunt stopped me zainabou don't go stay here I will be back and I did just that.
Minutes later she came back I didn't even hear what she said but the two ladies that were gossiping about me went away only them knows what happened out there
Got back home prayed and decided to have some rest which I really needed.
Sunday morning 🌄
I was about to have my breakfast when Alimou came over.
Omg Ahmad this early you are here I haven't taken my breakfast nor shower, oh Zayana go and take a shower and lets go have breakfast I know this nice coffee shop, you know I can't say no to that just give me 15minutes to get ready pls and I ran off to my room omg omg what to wear I need to look good and smell nice too
Voilà here it is a purple dress 👗 and a white hijab perfect
Auntie Ahmad is wearing a black shirt Firdausi said, so do I have to wear black too? Huh? I won't argue with you let me bath now leave
Out of the shower 🚿 so my black hijab is here and my sandals I need a new dress the purple is too elegant I need a simple one
shall we? Yea Ahmad's eyes was on me and his smile is everything masha Allah.
Jajah see u in the evening in sha Allah, bye.
Zayana this dress looks perfect and you are so beautiful Masha Allah any guy would be so lucky to have you from the outside thou he laughed
What do u mean from the outside? Tell me. Zainab don't get me wrong I mean without knowing they think you are a very gentle lady sorry I can't help but laugh honestly u are too crazy Zayana, I'm sorry for making you angry
It's okay Ahmad can we just go visit your parents I'm not hungry anymore, no way Zayana we will have breakfast first even if it means that I have to drag you out of this car .
But uhhmm... I don't want to can I get a burger pls I'll wait here. Okay Zainab if u insist.
Here is your burger and coffee oh I bought u ice-cream too, Aww you are the best I don't know what I'd do without you really. Your future wife is gonna be really lucky to have you no kidding. How about you marry me Zainab what do u say? Are you serious Ahmad ? hahaha u are very funny. You know what Maryam did to me few months ago right I can't believe I actually was trying to have a future with her and she used me. Let's forget about the past dear.
Ahmad i just realized something you know your mom is not a big fan of me right? Me going at your place it's awkward u know, oh pls relax she won't do anything to you it's not your fault that maryam got married to someone else, yes she was your friend but it's doesn't mean you are at fault.
