Chapter 36
Dulamah's POV
"Salaamu alaykum y'all", Qasim Ameen, Idris, Abdul Majeed shouts while entering the house. I sit up from the couch and return the salaams.
Idris dribbles the basketball on the hard wood floors. "Man you ready to go to the court?", he asks. "Aye man I gotta ask my Zawja.....she's been real Moody and mean lately", I said. "Mean my ass", Jalilah says coming from the back.
"Salaamu alaykum", the boys say greeting her. She returns the salaams then pulls Qasim Ameen in for a hug. "No way........I know how you pregnant women be getting all attachy tatched. That's not happening. Go and get attachy tatched with Dulamah", he says pointing to me and pulling away from her.
"Punk", Jalilah says pushing him. Ameen laughs shaking his head. "Idris....with your sexy self", I said walking up to him. His friend Abdul Majeed pulled him back. "Jalilah go sit down somewhere", I say.
She rolls her eyes then stalks off. Mansur and Saheim comes from the back in just a pair of boxers and a white T-shirt. "Yo Idris and Abdul Majeed what's up baby", Mansur says running to them. Saheim runs to them as well.
"When did you all get here?", Saheim asked. "A few minutes ago", Idris replied. "Mansur and Saheim put some pants on. Cover you aura", I said to them. The nodded and ran back to the back.
Next Firdaus and Ayah appears from the back and straight away Ayah runs inti Ameens arm then she looks at Idris and Abdul Majeed. "Sadiqi long time no see", she says hugging them as well. Idris chuckles.
"As Salaamu alaykum", my other two sisters Sajidah and Firdaus says shyly. The boys look up and getting a good look at my sisters before lowering their gazes.
"Wa alaykumus salaam", the reply back. "Ya Dulamah, they're related to you right?", Idris asked. I nodded. "They're my sisters", I said. "MaShaAllah", he replied back.
"I wanna a piggy back ride", Ayah screamed. "Ya Ayah. Laa", I said to her. She sighed then stomped her feet twice. "From who?", Ameen asked. She shyly pointed to Abdul Majeed. He gave in a small chuckle.
"The last time I did that was when we were in Saudi and she nearly broke my back so that's a definite no", he says. "Please please please please please", she said. "I'm nit fat anymore see look", she says raising up her shirt. Firdaus yanks it down and Ayah raises it up again and I hit her stomach and she laughs.
"Stop it", I told her. "Why? Its so funny", she laughs trying to raise it up again. My Abu lifts Ayah in the air and she screams surprised. "Don't do that" she says hitting him when he puts her down. He laughs. "My little princess", he says.
My father was 6'7 and he was a tall giant. He was friendly but was an ass. An ass for leaving us. "Hey Abu can I talk to you for a minute", I said getting up from the couch.
He looks at me with a look of wonder. "Yeah sure son", he says. I lead him to the back and I walk into an empty bedroom. "Aye I'm really sorry about yesterday with all if that cussing. It was unnecessary", I say.
"I accept your apology and I hope you can accept my sorryness", he says. I nod. "I'm sorry that I left you all. I thought it was right for you both. I knew you'd take care if her and MaShaAllah you did a great job at doing it. May Allah take the hurt and anger away from us and may he allow us to be filled his goodness. May he guide us a rectify our affairs and may he reward us all in Jannatul Firdaus and may he give the highest part of Jannah Ameen", he says.
I pull him in for a hug. He hugs me back as a rear drops from his eyes. Tears drops from mines as well. I pull away I stare at him. Although he is much taller that me I am grateful alhamdulilah that I was able to hug him like a son should.
"You got your old man crying", he chuckles. I wipe my tears away then look in the mirror to see two red eyes staring back at me. "I'm so happy to be back in you all's lives", he says. I nod my head.
"I'm happy too Abu", I replied back. "Well lets go back out there before Sakinah thinks I've murdered her step son", she says. I give in a small nervous chuckle. "What were you too doing?", Sakinah asks.
"Father and son love is back", my father says kissing her lips fully. I head to the kitchen to see Jalilah cooking on the stove. "Where'd you go?", she asked. "To the back to speak with my father", I said.
She looks up at me. "Why are your eyes red?", she asks. I shrug and she gasps. "Baby you weren't crying were you?", she asked looking like she was about to bust up laughing.
I turned to walk away and she grabbed my hand. Tears stung my eyes and I forced them not to drop. "Cry. Lemme see you cry Du", she says. I jerked my arm away and quickly walked out.
"Y'all ready?", I asked walking into the living room. "Ayman's coming too", Idris says. "He claims he still has skill", Abdul Majeed says finishing it off.
"I got skill", my Abu says. "Whatever man", Abdul Majeed says laughing. "Majeed. How's your father Wasim?", I ask. "He's good alhamdulilah. He told me to give you salaams for him. So as Salaamu alaykum", Abdul Majeed says. "Wa alaykumus salaam", I reply back.
"Hows your father Muhammad?", I ask Idris. "He's alright. Been working alot lately. But alhamdulilah he's great. He said salaams", Idris finished. "Tell him I said wa alaykumus salaam", o replied.
"Can I go to the park and play basketball?", Ayah and Saheim asked. "Nope", I said. "Hhmp. Fine with your punk ass", Ayah says. I hit her mouth and she glares at me. "Stupid bitch", she yells.
Before I can grab ahold of her my father picks her up and carries her to the back. "He's a bully", she yells. "Was that Ayah?", Jalilah asks coming from the kitchen. I don't say anything. "Yeah", Sajidah says.
Sakinah, Sajidah, and Firdaus goes into the kitchen with Lila. Mansur and Saheim puts on their jackets so that we can leave. "You can't play ball in sandals", I say to Idris. He looks down at his feet. "Dang it I forgot", he says.
"Go to the back closet and get a pair of Jordans. You're a size nine right?", I ask. "Akhi look at my feet. Do I look a size nine?", he asks. "Man I don't know", I say.
"You can wear my shoes Idris", Jalilah says. "No thanks", he replies back. "I just bought some black and grey Jordans you can wear those. And their unisex", she adds. He looks at me and I shrug. He goes to the back and find them.
He cones back with them on. "Those are the new ones that they had just created", Ameen said. He's been pretty silent today. "Yeah", I added. "Okay lets go", Abu says. We all head to the door to climb inside of Qasim Ameen's eight passenger SUV.
"Zawj!", Jalilah yells. I ignore her and climb in. She walks out of the house with a glare. "My kiss", she says. I sigh. "I'm waiting". I look at her like she's crazy. "Maybe later", I say. She leans in and kisses me forcefully. I liked that. Ameen cleared his throat and Jalilah and I continued to kiss. I pulled away. "See you later", I said.
She ran back into the house and we then left.
I couldn't wait to get back out on the court.
