EVERY SUNRISE BRINGS A NEW OPPORTUNITY TO EMBRACE THE BEAUTY OF THE WORLD
"Yes, I love you too" I finally spoke.
"And I'm willing to spend my whole life with you, just you Yaya". I said the truth.
As the words "I love you too" gently escaped her lips, their eyes locked in euphoric understanding. Hearts danced with joy, intertwining destinies. In that magical moment, the weight of uncertainty vanished, replaced by the promise of love's journey ahead. Their souls found solace, celebrating a love that would forever endure.
"Alhamdulillah, Thank you Khadijah and I promise you to make you my wife....soon inshAllah". Yusuf answered with tears gushing down his face. Indeed it's tears of joy.
"Thank you, May Allah bless our union". I said with the cutest smile.
"Ameen ya Rabbi, My wife!" He said with a smile too.

"Amarya, because Yahya made you his wife then we are no longer best friends right?" I asked Asma'u while making a call, video call.
"No that's not the reason, I've been quite busy that's why Besty, but I'm sorry". She apologized.
"I thought he's now your besty and I'm just a friend." I teased.
"That's not possible you know, so how have you been? How is umma?" She asked.
"I'm doing good as you can see, and umma is fine too, Alhamdulillah," I answered.
"Mashaallah, girl I can see you have been grinning like a Cheshire cat, what am I missing?" Asma'u asked smiling widely.
"Guess what," I asked.
"Just narrate everything please, I can't wait for a second". She said as she was eager to hear.
"Okay okay don't eat me raw," I said.
"Yusuf asked me out and proposed". I poured out the hot news.
"Are you for real? Don't joke like this please" she said wondering if I'm speaking the truth.
"Wallahi I'm damn serious my love, I'm not joking". I said giggling.
"And I said Yes to him" I added, dancing with delight
"MashaAllah besty I'm so happy for you, May Allah bless you two, and May Allah SWT spare us time to witness it. I'm so happy girl, you'll soon join us. Asma'u said, ecstatically happy.
"Ameen ameen, thank you" I answered smiling.
And we spent some minutes gisting.
"Congratulations Kay, I am so happy for you girl," Maryam congratulated.
"Thank you," I answered.
"We are now sisters, cousins, and sister-inlaws," Maryam said brimming with joy.
"Yes, that is right, who knows maybe our children would also get married in the future," I said.
"InshaAllah, That will be great you know, May Allah spare us time to witness it," She answered.

Abbi called us to his room, and we all sat down waiting for what he had to say.
"Without wasting time I will go straight to the point," Abbi spoke.
"It's about getting the children married because this is the right time, or what do you think Aisha and Maimuna?" Abbi asked our mothers.
"You are right dear, they are not getting any younger, we want to see our grandchildren," Aisha said.
"Of course, we need to get you married,". Umma also said.
"Let me start with you Yusuf, do you have anyone you intend to marry?" Abbi asked Yusuf.
Yusuf and I looked at each other immediately.
"Yes I have Abbi," He answered.
"Who is she and where is she living," Abbi asked.
"She is here," Yusuf pointed at me.
I felt like the ground to swallow me, the feeling is unexplainable.
"Khadijah?" Abbi asked surprisingly.
Umma was surprised too but Ummi wasn't because she has been suspicious.
"Yes Abbi," He answered.
Abbi turned to look at me and the atmosphere became intense.
"Khadijah, did you hear what he said? Did you accept him to be your husband? He asked.
I just nodded
What do they expect?
"Alhamdulillah I am really happy to hear this, May Allah bless you two," Abbi prayed.
"Ameen" we all answered.
"Maimuna, do you have anything to say about this?" Abbi asked my mother.
"No I don't, I am also happy about it, Barakallahu fikum," Ummi said smiling broadly.
"Ameen, so what about you Maryam?" do you have any suitor?" Abbi asked.
"Yes Abbi she has, his name is Fu'ad, he is a gentleman and he is living here in Kaduna," Yusuf cut off Maryam from speaking.
"Have you guys met already?" Abbi asked Yusuf.
"Yes we met several times and I've been to their house once and his workplace too", He answered.
"That's good, that's your job as an elder brother," Abbi said.
"Exactly," Ummi said.
"Maryam, do you love him?" Abbi asked Maryam while turning to look at her.
She nodded too just like I did.
"Then I will take both of your answers as no" Abbi concluded.
"What" Maryam and I raised our heads to look at him, Surprisingly.
"You both nodded you should have said yes or no", Abbi teased.
"Dear, don't give them a heart attack please". Ummi said laughing.
"Don't mind me, I was just teasing you. You can go to your rooms we will talk about it with your mothers, May Allah bless you all," Abbi concluded.
We head straight to Maryam's room and crashed on the bed.
"Alhamdulillah, One of my biggest dreams is coming to reality," Maryam said.
"Same here," I said dancing with delight.
"I've to tell fu'ad the news this very moment," Maryam said standing up to get her phone.
She called him but unfortunately, he didn't pick up, so we gisted for a long time at our wedding.
