Burnt Embers

Chapter Thirty Seven

*

Dinner was lit and lots of memories were made .Zee kept stealing glances at D and Kaybee because they can't take their eyes off each other and couldn't let a chance to smile slip off .

When the men went to the masjid , Zee dragged D to her room for an interrogation.

" Madam I know you love your husband and everything but this is too much ,you guys are behaving as if this is the first time you're seeing each other or better , on honey moon " Zee observed with a raised brow .

" Yes my love.  We are on honey moon. If you have a problem with that type, email and send it to my address besides you told me to be free and show him how I feel about him. I'm doing as exactly as you told me so get ready to see all the mushiness in this world .He is my mine,I gotta show the world that he is " D rambled on with a smirk .

" Where is my best friend and where did you take her to ?" Zee exclaimed looking horrified .

" I'm right here Besty " they chuckled and high fived each other .D pantomimed a thank you to Zee who gave her a hug.

The kids were so excited after the dinner that they rambled off D and Kaybee's ears with their excited chatter saying that they wish Afreen was there to share in their fun .

Kaybee gave them the gifts he  bought for them .D thanked him profusely showering him with prayers .The twins did the same and went off to play with their toys .

" Don't you think the gifts are too much Ya Hayatee? " D asked when they were in bed , ready to call it a night .

" Nah, nothing is too much for my family .I told you I can do anything for you Angel .Get used to it please " he replied drawing her close .

" We have you. That's enough Abba. No material gain ,luxury or gifts can reach up to the importance you have in our  lives so please stop it .I am happy having you by my side, I'm happy loving you and everything about you and that's more than I could ever ask for " she said and he kissed her forehead ,pure adoration in his eyes .

" I know but it makes me happy to pamper you guys so please let me .Besides what's the essence of having lots of money if you can't spend it on your family and earning the pleasure of Allah? "

" Suit yourself boss " she gave him her killer smile and that made him feel complete in ways more than one .She completes him and the happiness he feels is the type he will stay long in sujood praying it will last forever .

Kaybee was surfing through the net doing some work while D sat beside him braiding Ihsan's hair when his phone rang which was on the table. Ilham brought it for him and he frowned seeing that it is a private number .

" Assalamu alaikum " he hesitantly said

"Kay please help me I have no one to turn to but you please " the person on the other end pleaded.

With furrowed brows and erratically beating heart kaybee uttered what made D bolt out of her seat " Nihal ?"

It sounded more like a question because the last time he heard about her,everything is going honky dory for her .

" Yes, yes ,yes my love it's me and I am glad that you didn't forget me. I  am at a village around Katsina state please come and get me before they kill me " she stated in between tears and a little bit of laughter, why she was laughing?only God knows.
