Mi Amor, my love!

Chapter twenty seven

"What do you have for me?" I asked hameed, curiously.

We'd just came back from the hospital. Alhamdulillah, haidar's feeling much better, he'd hopefully get discharged tomorrow. I'd managed to keep ammi calm. Mirah was acting nonchalant but i know deep down she was troubled. Her face says it all. I felt bad and guilty. But what can i do about it? He was paying for his mistakes and bad acts. His case would be taken to court soon.

"We're traveling" Hameed replied.

"To?" I questioned, surprise evident in my voice.

"Lagos"

"When?"

"Today, now!"

"Okay wow!" I could feel excitement bubbling through me but then I remembered the situation my family is in "But I can't travel when my family needs me"

"I'd shorten the trip to 3days only, raise no objections please" He looked at me with imploring eyes.

I sighed in defeat "Okay"

"Thank you" He grinned "I want you to clear your mind, forget about everything for the meantime and enjoy the short trip"

"In shaa Allah.. but khairi, what about her? Wait where's she? I haven't seen her since we came back" I made to stand but he stopped me.

"Usman came and took her to aunty basma, she'll stay there" He explained.

"But i want to say goodbye to her" I said sadly.

"No! She'd only throw a tantrum, remember our last trip?" He chuckled.

I yawned, my eyes almost dropping. I haven't realized how sleepy and tired i was until now.

"Yalla get up and go get ready" Hameed lightly tapped my hand.

"I'm so sleepy, I can't even get up, why don't we just leave it till tomorrow morning? Its almost midnight" I mumbled.

"I hate traveling during the day" He answered.

"Please" I whined, sleepily "I can't even pack"

"I will help you pack"

"That sounds great, you are so sweet"

We walked upstairs together and into my room. I laid on the bed while he started to pack my clothes.

I haven't realized i have dozed off until i felt hameed shaking me a little and telling me to wake up.

"Okay okay, I'm awake" I said, rubbing my eyes

He looked at me with amusement and spoke "Sleepy head, I'm done packing, lets go"

"Okay" I muttered and got out of the bed before following him downstairs and outside the house. The driver was already waiting for us, so we hopped into the car and zoomed off to the airport.

"We are here, wake up!" I heard hameed whisper into my ear which made my eyes flicker open.
