Asaal

I'm finally done with my 3rd year of school and I can't wait to enter my 4th and Last after this summer, I and Nurain have been having issues from here to there and mama said I should just be praying about it, right now it's already 11pm and he's not yet back from only God knows where and it's seriously raining, I've been calling him and he's not answering, I called the office and they said he's not there, I've been trying my best to be calm, just I was about to stand up from the bed the door to the room opened and Nurain came in
"Where have you been? It's 11pm-
"Hello to you too" he said interrupting me
His tie was sagged and he looked like a mess, he dropped his bag on the floor by his side and sat on the bed, his eyes looked a bit red
"What happened?" I asked going closer to him
"Traffic" He said rolling up his sleeves
Then I smelt his perfume, it didn't even smell like his or mine, it smelt tacky and cheap
"Whose disgusting perfume is on your shirt and who where you with?" I asked
"Are being serious right now? I come back in late, no how are you? Are you okay? And the first thing you ask me is who I was with? Haba baby" he said
"What's so wrong if I ask you that? I want to know who you were with this night"  i said, now my face was serious
"I had to drop a co worker at home, she was stranded in the office, when she was spraying perfume it must have touched me" He said
"Is that why you wanted to start being rude to me? You could just have said that" I said, now I was just irritated
"Rude? Asaal how can I come home from work, and the first thing you ask is all of that?" He said
"But you didn't have to lie and say traffic" I said
Now the both of us were quiet
"I'm tired of all of this" I said
"All of what?" Nurain asked, his head down
"All the fighting, the problems and everything" I said
"So what are you suggesting?" He asked raising his head up, now he was looking at me
"I don't know" I said turning around, I just need a break from all this, I was about to walk to my side of the bed, and he held my hand, and dragged me to sit down beside him
"What are you suggesting?" He asked with all seriousness, he was looking at me straight in the eye, now all the words have left my mouth and head
"I-i don't know" i said still looking at him, he broke the eye contact by looking at my lips, that was it, He kissed me and i kissed him back, he broke the contact, and looked at me, and i kissed him again this time around, I Unbuttoned his shirt and now we were fully on the bed, and he was laying down, and I was on top of him, he removed my shirt and turned me back to the bed, he kissed me on my neck and down, I removed my pyjama pants and Nurains hands was on the side of my panties, he slipped his finger inside, I let out a gasp, what is he doing? He eventually slipped down my panties and kissed me again, he removed his trousers and went back to kissing me, whatever he it is we're about to do, this might be a life changing decision that we haven't even spoken about
"This might hurt a little bit" He whispered in my ear
I nodded my head and he was inside me now, I let out a loud moan and he laughed, it was painful yes, but not that painful, he kept on going
"Nurain" I moaned, pulling him closer to me, we were doing this for like 15 minutes and I felt something warm inside me, he pulled back and kissed me, then he laid back on my bed, that was it, I guess.

Nurain
Last night was literally like a dream, but, I'm very concerned cause if this is how the both of us get turned on by each other, through fighting then there's something wrong, I turned to my side to see if Asaal was on the bed, but she wasn't, and I also didn't hear the tap running, I stood up from the bed and put on my trousers, I was about to leave the room then I saw Asaal on the floor, I rushed over to her and tried waking her up, I looked around then I saw the bed, blood, I should have known, I carried her to her room and put her on the bed, I grabbed her smelling salts from the drawer and put it on her nose, she woke up almost immediately
"Good morning baby" I said
She looked around trying to processing everything
"You fainted baby" I said
"Oh" she said
"Does your head hurt or anything?" I asked
"No but my body does, especially my thighs" She said
I tried not to laugh
"Can you atleast walk?" I asked
"I think so" she said
She sat up on the bed, and tried to stand up but she fell down
"My thighs hurt, I can't do anything today" She said
I helped her back on the bed
"You have to shower, and we're going to ummas place today" i said
"Then you have to help me massage my legs or something, cause walking is quite painful" She said
"I'll get pain killers and an ointment to help you" i said
I left the room and went to the pantry to get some painkillers then I got an ointment from my room, and went back to her room, she sat up on the bed, and took the painkillers then i helped her massage the thighs
"Sleep, then I'll wake you up later to shower then we'll go out" i said
She nodded her head and I left her room, I changed my bedsheet, and put a new one, I showered, and then I decided to go for a walk round the estate.

Asaal

"Asaal, it's 4pm wake up" I heard Nurain saying
"Mmmmm"
"Wake up" he said again
I opened my eyes and looked round the room, he was standing by my bed side, I sat up on the bed and my thighs weren't really hurting anymore
"We have be at ummas house before 5, so start getting ready" he said
Once he left the room, I went to the shower, I brushed my teeth and I showered, now the difficult part, looking for what to wear, since it's just ummas house, a bubu would be fine, I took out my purple adire boubou and put it on, I sprayed my perfume, I tied my scarf and put on my black oran sandals then carried my black coach bag, and I put on some jewellery then just Vaseline on my lips, I went downstairs to wait for Nurain and he was already waiting for me, we left the house quickly and we were on our way to ummas house, we got there and it looked like we didn't get the memo, people were there.
"Is there an event going on?" I asked
"I don't know, let's go in and see" Nurain said
We went into the house and everyone was there, from my mom down to Fati and auntie Khadija? Are we missing something?
"Oh finally they're here" umma said
Everyone turned to look at us
"What is happening?" Nurain asked
"Come and sit down" Fati said
"Oh okay?" I said
We both sat down and then Na'eem and Salma both stood up
"Okay good evening everyone" Salma said
"We're sorry for calling you guys out this evening, especially Asaal and Nurain" Na'eem said
Then everyone laughed
"Okay so we just wanted to tell you guys something, before you guys hear it from baba" Salmaa said
Then they kept quiet
"Um we're both getting married" Na'eem said
"Finally!" Faruk shouted
"Oh My God, Ma Sha Allah I'm so happy! My two babies are getting married!" Umma said
"I'm so happy for the both of you" I said
Everyone was smiling and hugging them, but auntie Khadija didn't say anything, she looked shocked and I knew she was going to react any minute from now
"Can everyone stop it!" She shouted
Everyone kept quiet
"Dija is everything okay?" Umma asked
"No!" She said
"What do you mean?" Umma said
"I'm saying no! Nothing is okay and No! Na'eem isn't getting married" she said
"Mama what do you mean?" Na'eem asked
"No, you're not getting married now, nothing like aure, who is the boy that you even want to get married too?" She asked
"Dija I met boy, a few months ago, Wallahi he comes from a really good family" Umma said
"Oh so you knew?! There you go again, betraying me, again! You know my stand on marriage, and you went ahead and approved" She said
"Dija i didn't know you'd feel this way" Umma said
"There you go again" She said rolling her eyes
"Everyone should go upstairs" kaka said
I was about to stand up, then my mom told me to sit back down, same as Na'eem, then everyone went upstairs
"Khadija what's your problem?" Kaka asked
"Mama you know what has happened to me in this marriage, and honestly I'm scared my for my daughter, she doesn't even have a job!" Auntie Khadija said
"I honestly see your point Khadija, but do you think every single marriage is sunshine and roses? Everyone here has their ups and downs in their marriage, down to little Asi, if you don't know, I see it in her face sometimes" Kaka said, then everyone looked at me
"Auntie Khadija, I honestly understand where you're coming from, given everything you've told me, but this man, as umma said is a really good man, and you can do your investigation, you'd probably like him, please and I can see she really loves him" i said
"Not everything is about love, I fell in love and got hell" Auntie Khadija said
"Ya Khadija, I think we should see the boy first before you jump into conclusions Dan Allah" my mom said
"Yes I totally agree" i said
"Please mama, I'm begging you don't do this to me, please" Na'eem said while crying
"I'll think about it" Auntie Khadija said
"What's his name Na'eem?" I asked
"Aliyu Haliru" She said
"He's your brother's friend, I'll even invite him over to my house, auntie Khadija you have to come, you and mama" I said
"Yes that's a good idea Asaal" Na'eem said nodding her head
"Fix a date, I'll see if I'm free" Auntie Khadija said
I smiled at Na'eem and she wiped her tears
"Can I go home now?" I asked
"What are you doing at home?" Mama asked
"I'm resting" I said standing up, I left them to finally speak alone, then I went upstairs, I went to the upstairs living room, where everyone was seated
"Let's go home" I said to Nurain
"Is everything okay now?" Salmaa asked
"Yes everything is okay now" i said
"Alhamdulillah" everyone said
Nurain stood up and we both went downstairs, before I left Na'eem hugged me and thanked me, then we went back home and watched tv together.
