Chapter Twenty Six

It's not always right, the sun doesn't shine brighter every day. Have faith. No condition is permanent!

Two days after the almost break up between the two friends, Kaybee's flight landed in Nnamdi Azikwe international airport Abuja around 9am in the morning. Mommy and Afreen went there to welcome him with the driver and he never felt so happy to see those two souls who mean the world to him . One being the fact that he missed them so much and two now that he is in love and madly so.

The drive back home was not too far. " welcome home son, you've been terribly missed " mommy said giving him a smile.

He bowed a little with a smile too " thank you mommy hope I meet you guys in good health "

Afreen who's already in his arms greeted him cheerily and without any waste of time started telling him the things she has done and everything that happened while he was away.

" Afreen!! Let your Abba have some rest, you guys will talk later " mommy chided Afreen when Kaybee was munching breakfast on the table.

" Afreen and her talkativeness, I wonder where she gets it from " kaybee mused.

" from her dad who else? You were as jovial, talkative and inquisitive as she is now. I hope you'll revive those habit because I miss the old you " mommy sadly stated and kaybee gulped something bitter in his throat.

" In shaa Allah mommy, I hope D will make me revive them for you " he said with a teasing tone wiping his face with a paper towel.

" Shameless boy, by the way, when are you going to meet her? "

" Tomorrow of course, if not because you'll nag and be mad at me, I would have gone there directly. God! Mommy I just can't wait to see her she's everything I have ever wanted and much more " he sighed dreamily like he is in a trance.

" Yah Allah! Where is my son and what happened to him ?? Kaybee go to your room before you go all mushy on me. You're not just shameless but crazy also " mommy pushed him towards the entrance of the house acting a tad bit over dramatic.

" But I love her, and I can't keep it all in without letting you know that I do " he shouted just before mommy banged the door to his face.

" Yah Allah I thank you for making my dreams come true . Yah Rabb make them happy and find peace in each other. Heal them and make them adore each other forever " mommy silently muttered before proceeding to her room to rest.

Kaybee had a shower and dressed in a casual sweats and Tee. He fished out his phone and inserted his Nigerian sim card and dialled the number he has been dying to call ever since he landed.

" Assalamu alaikum angel " he breath out with a contented sigh.

"Wa'alaikassalam Abba, welcome back home. Hope the flight was hitch free" her sweet voice echoed through the phone and now that they are not so far away from each other he felt like sprinting to see her.

" Alhamdulillah it was fine I was exhausted but your voice makes me feel like I can run a marathon right now . How are you too, angel I miss you so much I just don't know if I can wait to see you tomorrow " he pouted and she chuckled.

" Mashaa Allah, I am fine, can't wait to see you too but you should be patient as you've been for the past few months, the twins are so excited that you're coming, by the way, I hope you like Awara (soya beans cake) ? "
