STARS CAN'T SHINE WITHOUT DARKNESS; SIMILARLY, OUR STRENGTH IS REVEALED THROUGH THE TRIALS WE OVERCOME
As an architect, Yaya Yusuf instructed me that I should draw the house as I want it to be. You all, I designed my HOME!
A few days before the marriage, Yusuf took us to see the house, Ya Allah! Just as I drew it and it came out perfectly.
To our surprise, we are living in the same house as Maryam, it's a two-building flat but with different designs. It was big as Abbi's house.
Our parents went to arrange our furniture and other pieces of stuff in our respective houses while Yusuf took us to the market to buy some pieces of stuff.
"Yaya, I'm craving something sweet," Maryam said while we were on our way back home.
"Okay, let's stop at an eatery,". He answered.
"I want ice cream," She said like a baby.
"Don't fill my ears with your talks, I will get it for you," He answered.
"Okay Yaya," Maryam said tickling him on his neck as she was sitting in the back seat.
"Baby, stop I'm driving," He said laughing.
I also laughed.
"Maryam don't kill us please, let us have a bright future," I said.
"Let us marry first, right?" She giggled.
"Yes Please," I giggled too.
"Hey, You two aren't even shy of me right, talking about marriage in my presence," He teased.
"Yaya, you also want to get married before you die, besides it's your wife that started," She said.
"No, you started," He defended me.
"How?" She asked.
"You started tickling me, remember?" He answered.
"Yeah yeah, Now please my ice cream, before I hear stories that You forgot and I didn't remind you," She said.
We stopped at an eatery, Yaya asked which flavor I want, and Maryam too, he didn't let us follow him because Maryam would ask for more things.
We came back home safely and met our mothers coming down from the car.
"You are back so quick," Yusuf said to Ummi as he parked his car.
"Yes, there's not much work, we are done," She answered.
We greeted them and started walking inside the house.
"Now what next," He asked.
"Taking the brides to their houses of course," Umma answered this time around with a smile.
"Oh," He simply answered with a smile too.
We all departed to our respective rooms.
