My Life in Pieces✔️:#projectNigeria

Chapter twelve

Hey guys.............................

ZOEYA'S POV
I was just discharged from the hospital and I am presently on my way home. I am so glad to leave that place...don't quote me wrong but I hate hospitals even though I work in one. The car currently drove into our house and I just realized that I've missed the view of it. No one came to take me from the hospital. Fariyah didn't call to check on me and I made a mental note to give her a piece of my mind when next I set my eyes on her. It was only the driver who was sent to pick me up. As I got down from the car, i headed into the house and

"Welcommmmmeeee baccckkkk". Everyone was home apart from dad of course (note the HUGE sacarsm).Even Fariyah and Aiman were present. The house was beautifully decorated and there was a cake.

"Thank you so much". I guess those were the right words to say. Zinayd ran to me and said

"Welcome back aunt Zoe". He presented a rose flower to me.

"Awwwwnnnnn thanks baby". I collected it and kissed the top of his full dark hair. Something we all hot from dad. Then Zaynab stepped forward and said

"Aunt Zoe welcome back we missed you". She hugged me and gave me a wrapped small box.

"Thank you all". I said hugging mum. Then bibah then Aiman and Fariyah lastly

"Welcome baby". She said pecking me.

"You knew about this right?". I said smiling

"Yup and I didn't want to ruin the surprise". I grinned and punched her playfully

"Betrayer". I teased.

I walked up to Aiman to hug him and he whispered a "welcome back" in my ear

I hugged mum for long and then started to think my breathing will be affected by her massive amount of perfume

I hugged bibah whose hugs were warm and cozy like a teddy bear.............lol

I hugged our cook Lisa who smiled and said
"Welcome home miss Zoe". She grinned from ear to ear.

"Thank you and I'm really starving if you don't mind, hospital food is the only thing I've tasted for the past few days". I said making a hungry face which made her smile and said

"I got you covered". She left to serve my food and I turned to meet Fariyah raising a brow.

"Do you have anything you want to say to us?".

"Nope". I popped the p there.

"Like an apology?". Fariyah pressed and I sighed. She walked back giving me space to say my speech.

"Thank you very much everyone. This means a lot. Everyone here gathered today are a very important piece of my lives. Yes I know I screwed up and put my life at risk and I'm sorry. I really am and that made me realize that I am so rounded with a lot of love and compassion. Thank you all. Thank you mum I love you very much. You are my life. Beebah my sweet sister you are one in a million. And my lovely munchkins Zaynab and Zinayd, I love you very much. And my bestie Fariyah, its really an honour knowing you".
Fariyah was standing in front of Aiman and held a glass. Aiman had his hands passed to her front and rested on her stomach. He occasionally kissed the top of her head or whisper something in her ear which made her giggle.

"Thank you for understanding the real me and loving me. Thank you for being you. And to Aiman thank you for being a good friend. And being my bestie's one true love. You all know that in a few days I'll be leaving this home and going out to face a different side of life. Yes its not my decision but I guess we have to sacrifice to see the people we love happy. I have decided not to be a coward but take a bold step. I have decided not to cry anymore but smile and appreciate the wonderful people around me
That is all I have to say. Thank you all and let us enjoy this day people!".
