UNTAMED PRINCESS

•Chapter 50•

MALAK'S POV

"Are you comfortable?" Na'eem ask glancing at me then back to the road. "When I remove this I'll be" I mutter under my breath while he hides his laugh because he knows he'll be in for it if he laughs.

I'm like heavy.....like 'You need to push the baby out right now' type of heavy and I've threatened day and night to get a C-section and remove the baby once and for all but everyone keeps calming me down...and by everyone I mean my husband and Fadul who are ready to listen to my bullshit at all times.

A lot has actually happened in the past few months. Good, bad, so bad and some even unimaginable but we pulled through....we have the scars but we will heal. Alhamdulillah for everything and the great people I now get to call family..... really helped pull through the bad days.

And as for the pregnancy....oh boy! I've had the morning sickness era, the 'I don't like the scent of most perfume' era, and the cravings era.

Nafisa said the short temperness is not an era but a whole personality so I won't add it do that. 

We're currently on our way to my in-laws because Adda, Naeem's grandmother came all the way from Katsina and God knows that woman is so nice to me so I have to at least go and say hi.

We end the rest of the ride in a single sided conversation. Me complaining about everything and nothing while Na'eem only hums about it. The last time he gave an input in my rants, I held it against him the next day, so now instead of answers, it's just acknowledgement. Man learnt it the hard way.

"Okay, that's really heavy!" Latifa winced immediately I walked through the living room with Na'eem beside me and I roll my eyes. "Oh tell me about it" I groan before sitting on the sofa. "Ina wuni Ya Na'eem" she greets her brother then give me a side hug. He answers before telling me he's going to check on Mammah.

"How are you doing?" Latifa turns to me excitedly immediately Na'eem got up. "Surviving" I point at what normal people call a baby bump...I call it pot belly.

"Hi baby! So I don't know if you're going to be a niece or a nephew but I'm your auntie and your godmother too. Pretty cool right? Oh I know. Trust me, I'm the coolest in all the fifteen kids my father aka your grandfather have" she says and I laugh.

"Oh and by the way....your Mom and Dad should have just checked your gender and not wait until you're out. That's lame" she adds the last part in a whisper. "Latifa give up already" I roll my eyes.

She's still sour over the fact that I don't want to check the gender of the baby and it kinda ruined her themed gender reveal party that she had been organising in her head.

"My party didn't come to life of course I'm not over it" she pouts and I roll my eyes again. I know it's an everyday thing but the pregnancy makes it 10 times worse, I roll my eyes at everything and hopefully I don't roll it at my mother in law today.

"By the way where's Aisha?" I ask looking around. As much as the two girls don't get along they're the ones always together.

"And yet another sad story about my life......Aisha has got a boyfriend so I'm completely ignored, alone and depressed" Latifa sighed dramatically and I give her the 'are you for real?' look. "Who's the guy?" I ask curiously. "Same old Lamido" Latifa said in a singsong.

"What? She said she is over him" I still can't believe what Latifa is saying. "Well she's not. She's obsessed with him and he's even more obsessed. Wedding bells soon" she shakes her head then start scrolling through her phone.

"And you? No boyfriend?" I tease and she rolls her eyes then keeps her phone beside her. "Abuja boys? Hmm zasu baki mamaki, they'll show you pepper. Masu hankalin dama are just 3. One is married, one is dead and the other has moved to Tanzania" I knew this girl was going to do some dramatic stuff immediately she kept her phone to focus.
