She was seated on her bed making sure that she had picked all the necessary items that she would be needing there in London. She was sure of everything, she stood and was about to enter the bathroom when her phone started ringing.
She checked the caller, it was her sister Yusra. "Hello adda." Yusra said as soon as hanan picked up the call. "Hy, how are you?" She answered looking at her appearance in the mirror.
"I'm good. Ya Hanan what's this I hear about you and ya zayd, kun shiryane gist me please?" yusra curiously asks.
"Kai yussy akwai ki da son gulma, kuma nothing much happened..." her sentence was cut short when she heard a honk. She walked to the window and saw that it was zayd's car. "Yusra I have to go Zayd is here." She didn't wait for yusra's reply as she disconnected the call.
She grabbed her handbag, wore her shoes and pulled her trolley outside the house with her to where he had parked his car. As soon as she neared the car, he got out to helped her put the luggage in the trunk.
"Ina wuni." Hanan greeted looking elsewhere. "ina gajiya." He replied silently. She entered the passengers side and kept her handbag on her lap.
He closed the trunk, and also got in the car, revved the engine and took off.
In the car nobody spoke a word. Only the wave of the air could be heard.
Zayd thought about stopping at Hanan's parents house before going to the airport so he made way to her parents place.
Hanan squinted her eyes as they drove pass some familiar houses.
' could it be that we are going to visit my parents house oh Allah I'm so happy ' Hanan thought
Few minutes later

We stopped in front of the best house in the world the house that even when I wake up from sleep if being asked where it is I would be able to answer the question immediately , this house is so full of my memories the memories that makes me feel so happy and wanted in the world
Zayd stopped in front of the gate honked for baba mai gadi to open the gate, I just sat there impatiently waiting to get into the house just to see the bundle of my joy and happiness,
Immediately after mallam lawal(gate man) opened the gate Zayd drove into the compound and parked the car in the parking lot
I couldn't wait anymore so as soon as he parked the car I dashed out of the car and walked more like rushed to the house on my way,my mind kept telling to look into the hut so I did
I looked at the hut and much to my surprise I saw ya Affan in the hut as usual working and stopping occasionally take short sips of his coffee I miss ya Affan it's been three months since I last saw him because he was studying in a university in dubai and only comes back after 4 month
"YA AFFAN" I exclaimed jogging to the hut,ya Affan looked up and smiled before taking me in his arms " oh daisy I missed you so much" he laughed, " I missed you as much dear brother" she said holding him tightly "go daisy I know mummy wants to see you by the way you look gorgeous" yaya Affan added
"Thank you yayana🌹and I totally forgot about it let me go bye" I said running into the house "Assalamu Alaikum" I shouted as I entered the house

Hanan ran to hajiya maryam's room where she found her seated on the praying mat reading the holy book "mummy na" hanan exclaimed as she ran to her mom and pulled hajiya maryam into a tight hug
"mummy, I missed you so much " Hanan added with tears rolling down her cheeks.
"Jaan why the tears, I'm here now I'm I not?" hajiya Maryam inquired away her tears,

Mummy stood up and pulled hanan along with her saying "so you mean you are here with zayd and you left him outside for almost 10mins now",
she made one of her best puppy face one which mummy couldn't resist,
"That face won't work on me today, so go bring him in now" mummy demanded settling on a couch in their living room

"They all went to Huda's house since yesterday" mummy told her she walked out of the house to the compound looking for him
