"Assalamu Alaikum" his voice came on

"Wa Alaikumussalam" I replied smiling

"How's my wife and baby doing?"

"All fine Alhamdulillah. How about you?"

"I'm fine Alhamdulillah"

"How's the seminar going?"

"All good" he replied shortly

"So, when are you coming back?"

"Someone's missing me?"

"No!" I protested "just wanted to know"

"I refuse to believe that but very soon In shaa Allah"

"Ok, till then"

"I miss you"

" I miss you too" with that I ended the call smiling all to my self. If someone was there they'll think I  won a lottery ticket or have gone all crazy.             

'Maybe I am, but crazy in love' I thought

"Your wife" Mr Carlos asked immediately after I dropped the call

" Yes" I replied smiling sheepishly

" That's nice. Is she coming to pick you at the airport?"

"No, I want to surprise her"

"Ohh! Newly wedded, right?"

"Yeah, not too long"

"Ok"

Just then it was time for our flight back to lagos from Ukraine.

Some hours later, our plane landed at the Murtala Muhammad International Airport Lagos . At last I was back home, just one week but it felt like it's been one year.

I decided to take a cab since no one knew I was returning today.
