Hafsa

Ten

"C'mon babe let's go!" He called out from the room. "I'm almost done!" I yelled from the closet. I finished dressing and we strolled out of the hotel.

We decided to go out on a picnic since today was the last day we'll be spending in Cuba. The park wasn't far from the hotel. We found a perfect spot and settled down.

"I'm really going to miss Cuba." I sighed feeling down. "Me too, but on the bright side we'll be traveling a lot when you're done with school." he said. "Really?!" I squealed. "Yes honey!" He replied.

The ringtone of Aasim's interrupted. "The young B!" He said as he answered the call. "Man! I'm sorry I missed your wedding. You know I'm out of the country with my wife." He looked at me and smiled.

He called me his wife, eeepp!! What a feeling! "Well the good part is we're neighbors. I promise we'll come visit when we come back to Nigeria"

"Yes we'll be back by tomorrow Insha Allah. My regards to the bride." He stated before hanging up.

"Who was that?" I asked. "My childhood friend, I can't believe I missed his wedding." he shook his head. "But he didn't miss mine. I'm such a bad friend."

"That's So uncool. If you knew your friend's wedding was coming up why will you make us to travel" I said disappointed.

"I totally forgot about the wedding. I just saw the pictures on social media." he said and shrugged.

"Try this one," I took a strawberry from the bowl and fed him. "It's sweet. Okay my turn." He took one from the bowl and fed me. "Mmmm, it is sweet."

Aasim laid his head on my laps as we watched the sun setting. "The sunset is so beautiful." I uttered looking at the sun slowly setting. "You're beautiful." he looked up at me. I just flashed him a smile and continued looking at the sun setting.

"C'mon let's take a walk before we go back to the hotel." He stood up and grabbed my hand. We strolled to the pond where the ducks are swimming.

"That duck reminds me of someone." I said pointing at a white duck. "Who?" He asked. "You." I stuck my tongue out and ran away.

"You must pay for what you just said!" He ran after me. He held my waist and raised me up. "No aasim stop!! Let me down please." I giggled.

"Repeat what you said." He said swirling us round. "No stop please, I'm sorry. I feel dizzy.... I'm sorry." I pleaded still laughing. He finally stopped and we both fell on the grass. We looked at it each other, laughing. Feeling Happy!

We went back to our mat, I sat in between his legs facing the half sun. He wrapped his arms around my neck "I love you so much, wife!" he said and kissed my neck. "I love you too." I uttered touching his strong arms.

"Hafsa" he called my name. "Yes" I answered. "Have you ever thought of us maybe, having a child?" He asked. I closed my eyes and bit my lip. "All the time." I replied, beaming.

"You?" I asked. "Everyday!" He replied. "I can't wait to see little Hafsa and Aasim." He whispered into my ear and I blushed. "You will, soon Insha Allah."

"Are you pregnant?" He asked. "Maybe! C'mon let's go, it's getting dark." I stood up and started packing. We finished packing and headed back to the hotel.
