After that awkward ride, Nadeen definitely couldn't go to the hospital wearing "those skimpy clothes" as her nice brother-in-law commented (Note the sarcasm) . She asked him if he could drop her home and he directly said NO to her face. Nadeen counted the cars that pass by as she still couldn't get over the fact that she is in an Audi R8.

"D..D...Do y-y-you think I can stay in the car while you enter the hospital?" She stammered."Suit yourself." This is definitely not a car ride but a torture ride she thought.

As Nadeen dozed into her thoughts, her favorite cartoon Islamic song blasted through the speakers. And she couldn't help but sing along forgetting the fact that Mr. Armaani-boredom is in the car.

"Upsy daisy now don't be lazy, it's time to go to the masjid - "Don't you understand what the phrase "shut up" means?!" He shouted making her squirm on her seat and making the Audu halt but regained his composure. "Audu shut that song off!" remarked or more like ordered Azaad.

The atmosphere was tensed but Azaad couldn't care less as his wife is just about to go through immense pain while he can just sit and sulk like a woman who just got to know she is on her TOM (time of the month). He told her not to go for it but being the stubborn one she is, went for it. Being a sickle cell carrier wasn't easy with sickness coming at any time and anywhere. He knew he wasn't the best husband but at least he cared. He wasn't one to give the best impression on Islam but at least he prayed for her and his unborn child. He always did a little to make her happy which was quite surprising because the stoned hearted Azaad only cared about his sister and mom but maybe, just maybe he could also feel like a normal human.

As soon as they reached,they were welcomed milk and ash painted walls. He sat up and got ready to get out of the car. On the polished walls beside the gate 'GARDEN CITY SPECIALIST HOSPITAL' was written on a banner in bold letters. As they entered and parked he told Audu to take Nadia home. Audu did as he was told and put the car in reverse ready for another ride with Miss Nadeen Sultan.
"Ma'am you know you asked me some questions back at the school right?" he asked with a mischievous glint in his eyes. "What questions?" a confused Nadeen asked. "When I told you Mrs. Nadia has given birth you asked when, how, which hospital. So let me answer you now. When? The answer is; she hasn't given birth already but she is going to give birth tonight insha Allah. How? You already know". Her cheeks flushed in embarrassment at that but none the less he continued. "Which hospital? you already know. Even though boss wanted her to give birth abroad because she is a sickle cell carrier and it won't be easy. The doctor told them that the chances of both of them living are nil but Madam still said if it is possible for her baby to live then she will die trying. Boss doesn't trust Nigerian doctors but since madam wanted to give birth here and she wanted to be close to her mom mom when she delivers her first child, boss had no choice. Kinsan mata sun san yanda zasu samu abunda suke so. (You know women know how to get what they want).

As the car came to a halt she finally spoke. "I have a feeling we are going to get along pretty well". With that she went inside the house leaving Audu to reverse and set for the hospital again.
