Endless Love

Chapter 4

Abdulkadir POV

"Abdulkadir u ain't saying anything about what we discussed". Hajiya inquired. "Which discussion?". "About your marriage". "arrrh hajiya please when will you stop talking about this marriage stuff, because honestly am not ready for it". He said frustrated.  "OK if you don't have any girl I do have one". "who?". "Nafisah our neighbor's daughter". He stood up without saying anything and heed for the door. "Is that a yes?". He looked at her and nodded positively then left.

Aisha wedding was around the corner and his parents thought it will be wiser to merge his wedding and hers.

Nafisah parents were consented and they agreed to it. They all came to the conclusion that it should be merged with Aisha's.

Finally the long awaited day arrived. The house was filled with family and friends going in and out of the house. 

Our parents were all seated in a canopy looking good in their outfits. The males ( Abba and Daddy) were wearing same outfit.  The mothers too ( Umma, Ummi and Mama) were wearing same out fits too.

Nafisah was wearing a white gown with white head gear, gold bangles and rings, her make up was wow. Abdulkadir was also wearing a white kaftan with buba, a cap, black shoes and Rolex wrist watch. They look fabulous together.

Nafisah and Abdulkadir

Aisha was not looking bad too. She was wearing a white material decorated with yellow stones on the veil and around the neck, a mixture of white and yellow necklace.  Her husband safyan was wearing an off white kaftan with yellow embroidery on the buba, a cap and a wrist watch. They look good too.

Aisha and Sufyan

After the wedding fatiha, a walima was organized in Nafisah house for both brides.

Nafisah

Aisha

Ni'ima and Hafsah

They were all seated listing to the sermon delivered by Mallama Fatimah Zahra on how to live peacefully in their husbands house. After the sermon by the mallama, they were taken to their parents for another talk on how to be good wives and then they were taken to their respective husband house after rounds and rounds of crying.

Hafsah POV

"Wake up and get ready for school" mama tapped me and Ni'ima continuously but we were too tired to leave the bed. She left the room in anger and we continued sleeping.

Someone pushed the door with force and that made us open our sleepy eyes. "Whaat!!! Ya Abdulkadir, what is he doing here so early in the morning" i thought and immediately the sleep cleared. "Yaya ina Kwana" (Good morning). We both greeted him. He had a frown on his face and we knew we are in hot okra soup today. He didn't answer but instead asked "what stopped you both from going to school today?". We started trembling since we have no answer to the question. "Stand up and get ready for school now". He commanded. We looked at the time it was past 10 he repeated his command and we both ran to get ready.

We were in our uniforms and went to meet him outside the house. He called the driver and asked him to take us to school. We hesitated at first but he shot us a deathly glare which made us enter the car and off we go.

We came back by 2:00pm and decided to visit aunt Nafisah since the house isn't far from ours. We asked for permission from our parents and it was granted.

Nafisah POV

I was bored and decided to go watch film in the sitting room. Some minutes later my sister in laws Hafsah and Ni'ima paid me a visit and saved me from boredom.

"you're just coming today, am angry with the both of you". "we are sorry aunt, we were busy with school". They said apologetically. "It's okay I understand bismillah come and sit down". They sat down and I called my made Talatuwa to serve them food and drinks. They were amidst chatting when Ya Abdulkadir entered, they immediately bow down a little to greet him, he answered and went to his room. I called my maid " Na am hajiya" she answered hurriedly. "Go and serve my husband his food". Both Ni'ima and Hafsah looked at each other with shock and surprise expression on their faces.

Just then a woman came in looking confused and tattered from all indications she's a begger. "Please ma'am help me and save my daughter's life she has been vomiting and her temperature is high". The woman pleaded crying. " Y didn't you take her to a hospital?". Hafsah asked. "I took her to a pharmacy and they said the drug is 950 naira and I don't even have 100 naira". The woman answered.  Hafsah opened her bag and brought out 2000 naira and gave it to the woman. "Hafsah who gave you the money you just gave her now". I inquired. "Daddy gave me and ya Ni'ima to buy anything we want". "And you didn't buy anything with it instead you are using it on worthless things huh".

Ni'ima collected the bag from her and checked it "you've finished giving the money out what are we going to use for buying the ice cream? That the reason I don't like leaving money with you, you spend it anyhow".

"Don't worry sis Allah will give us another one. The Prophet (PBUH) always advice us to give alms and help the needy too" Hafsah said with a smile and gave Ni'ima an example with a man during the time of Prophet Suleiman (AS).

Ya Abdulkadir was watching all the drama and he smiled to himself. He joined them in the sitting room and pretended as if he never heard and brought out 5000 naira " Hafsah take this and buy ice cream". " Thank you Yaya". He left the house.  "Ya Ni'ima I told you not to worry now we've gotten double the amount we earlier had". Hafsah said smiling. "Give it to me before you give it out again". Ni'ima collected it. They left the house after Maghrib prayer.
