Zarah's POV

I have finished exams and just accepted Imran yesterday he has being nothing but loving and caring though I don't love him I just like him. Ya rahma is back and her in-laws are coming to ask for her hand in marriage tomorrow InshaAllahu (by god's grace). Ya zaliha and her kids are here. I was chatting with my crazy friends when I heard the adhan. I quickly went to the bathroom performed  wudhu came out brought out the pray mat put my hijab then prayed. I finished praying and went downstairs I saw faruk running to only god knows where and I called him then he turned and saw me then started running towards me. "Hey ruks stop running don't fall running because if you fall I won't explain to ya aliyu(ya zaliha's husband)  "I wonsh fall down am a big boy now and I am even  shtronger than you"faruk said frowning his face

"So now you know how to talk and frown your face because I said you will fall down right? " i said picking him up from the ground. He just giggle.

"So now you won't greet your mommy koh " I said laughing

"You are not my mommy and good evening "faruk said

"Am not your mommy right so don't come and ask me to give you ibon later cause I won't,  go to your mommy not me"I said feigning hurt.
You  are my mommy I wash jusht joking and your are my besht mommy in jish(this)  world I love you more than I love my mommy  fa "he said almost in tears.

"Because you want Ibon right I love you more toh but I won't give you ibon still "I said laughing

"Mommy please I love you fa"he said crying

"Eyyah my baby stop crying I will give you toh"I said wiping his tears

"Yeeeeeeeeeehhh mommy thank you very much that is why I love you "he said hugging me

"Where is baby fuad? "I asked him

"He ish wish his mommy " he answered

"Okay lemme go and greet your mommy okay?"

"Okay lesh go "

Faruk is 3 but when he is  talking you will think is one 20 years old person that is talking and he likes ibon so much. I went to ya zaliha's room and saw her talking on phone I entered with salam and sat on the edge of the bed after she has finished I greeted her and asked after fuad cause I didn't see him with her.

"Yaya zali good evening "I greeted her

"Zarah how are you? "She answered

"Am fine, where is fuad? "I asked her

"He is with rahma I think in aunty's section"she answered removing the hijab she prayed with.

"Okay lemme go and see him, you know  its been  long since I saw him"I said and headed outside.

"Okay we will catch up later"she said folding the hijab.

I went to aunty's section and greeted her I saw ya rahma giving fuad water I went and collected him from her hand and played with him we were watching TV when I heard the adhan calling isha, I quickly went to the guest toilet in aunty's section and performed wudhu borrowed one of her hijabs then prayed. I finished praying and went bade her good night then went to mama's section. I walked to the kitchen and saw food in the warmer I opened it and saw it was jollof rice with chicken I microwaved it and sat in the kitchen counter and ate I finished then went to my room I picked my phone and I saw 12 missed calls 6 from Imran,  1 from ya Aisha, 2 from Hauwa, 2 from asma'u and 1 from Yusrah I decided to call Imran first after two rings he picked

"Hey babe how are you? "He said
