OUR DESTINY

chapter 40

Saleem P.O.V

I didn't wish to travel but because of zakiya has not been herself and I have try all I can to make her open up but she refuses to I decide to travel for work and to ease my mind, just as I was about going to logos  I got a call from yusuf which left me shattered and shock they was nothing I could say on the phone I was frozen in one place and all I could utter was innalillahi wa'ina illahi raji'un. I could no longer travel again I went back to abuja immediately I go the next flight back, I went to the hospital directly from the airport and unfortunately Alhaji shamsu has passed on, never for once did I felt like I would feel something but he was my father after all it's various I was having a breakdown, the Only person I could think of right there and then was my wife I needed her I felt lost and confused, after some few hours baba came together with some other people kayi shirin yin sallah janaza after we came back from the graveyard I wasn't even talking to anyone like I was in my own zone thinking of so many things but Allah knows best that's the only thing I can say.

Alhaji mansur P.O.V

It's been a year now since Alhaji shamsu has passed on, it was a very difficult situation for saleem but Alhamdulillah he was able to move pass it and he was back to his normal self. I felt so guilty for not telling him the truth since when he was young maybe he would have been able to build  stronger bond with his late father ,could it be that I was selfish.  Either way all I can say it's may Allah forgive us and grant us a good and easy death when it's our turn to go just seeing my grandkids running playing am content I feel like am now a complete man I was once  a young man of my own self but here I am today with children, grandkids,  all I can say is Alhamdulillah for every blessing and every challenge that we've come across so far.

Zakiya P.O.V

it was a late evening hammad was running around the compound playing with his other siblings, halima came to the house with her kids and left them to go relax herself as she said my head is about to explore because of this kids. Thinking back of a year before I thought I was actually going to die, it's funny thinking that I thought I had cancer oh Allah na, Alhamdulillah for the gift of life
   THROWBACK
Dr karima.

ZAKIYa after test results I was so shocked and confused  wallahi sai daga baya na gane the result was not yours to even begin with please forgive me for my error I was negligence , it was just postpartum depression lots of women go through after giving birth so please take care of yourself,  I will send u something that might help with the other symptoms your feeling,  Don Allah kiyi hakuri .

Since then I have been praying and thanking Allah for such thing to be just an assumption and also a mistake from my DR I was deep into my thoughts when saleem came to seat beside me he has not been himself since baba passed on but Alhamdulillah his recovering I know he must be hurting seeing he hasn't even spend much time with him and how many years they've missed apart even all the inheritance that was even to him he said no that it should be given to charity he wouldn't be needing it all he kept was his father's wristwatches and one of his cars maybe as a reminder to him or a memory.

Babe harka shigo I thought u were asleep inane ina fama da hammad he was playing loudly and I didn't want you getting distrub so I came here to watch them and relax a little, 

Saleem : babu komai ae kin kyauta I needed that rest also , have you eaten because am starving

Zakiya: Not yet let's go and feed this my big baby before ace na daina baka abinci duk ka rame, oh ni zakiyatu na shiga uku and just like that he started laughing and all I could say was babe nayi missing laughter inka and all he could do was stare at me

Saleem: I know, I haven't seen myself lately and zakiya must have gone through so much all by herself and here she is all trying to see me laugh and feel better when she said she missed my laugh all I could do was stare at her

    I'm so sorry my love , I know I haven't been myself lately but am doing better now, thank you for being there, for taking care of us when I wasn't even sure I needed it. Allah yayi miki albarka nagode sosai I love you so much ❤️ .

UMAR P.O.V

since after going to see suwaiba the lady that was adamant to destroy my life, my marriage my life I couldn't hold it any more so I went back to my safe place, my confinement, my wife I had to tell her everything and I did ,she understood me like no other and I was relieved even if it was for a second I was now being myself and like the good woman I know her to be she was understanding of the situation and advised me like I was hoping and everything worked out so easily without having to ruin my little family,  sometimes just listening to your wife is also something because talking to her just made everything easy and outgoing. ALHAMDULILLAH AM FOREVER GRATEFUL FOR A WIFE LIKE BALKISU.

Nasir P.O.V

Alhamdulillah it's been like a year now after our wedding me and shamsiya I can only say Alhamdulillah she's not perfect but she's one of her own kind, and mama ohhhh my God she's always behaving her it's siya that's her daughter not me her only son but am glad she's happy after a long period of time since baba passed she hasn't been herself but now she's free, she's relax and she has started giving people a chance to get to know her and be friendly, but she's still protective of me and siya well don't mind I call my wife siya. I have been thinking of taking her to Paris this end before it's ends and it's going to be a surprise since we got married she has been with mama not wanting to go anywhere far away from her hopefully this time I will convince her and she will agree to go with me alone
