Enjoy!!!!
****Amal's POV***
"Finally talkative is gone" Salim said with a sigh which made me chuckle.
"So?" He said moving his attention to me making me a bit uncomfortable.
"So" I said mentally preparing myself for the harsh words that would follow after but was surprise to hear his next words.
"How are you?" He asked.
"Fine Alhamdulillah" I replied but something clicked in me reminding me of his first and last visit which was with Ayman. "Why do you even care?" I asked.
"How's school?" He said ignoring my question.
"School is school tiring as always with all the boring lectures" I replied.
"So do you need anything for the wedding preps?" He asked.
"Nope, nothing. I don't even want any events but with my cousins and sister's being themselves they won't let me and Hamman Mujaheed too isn't helping matters" I said suddenly annoyed at the remembrance of all the events they've listed.
"I really don't like any events too, just the reception would be enough for me but Ummiey won't let me she's planning a dinner and Fatiyyah that girl can plan ten events if I'll let her but then she won't take no for an answer and she said something about dinner with a 15-35 age limit or something similar to that" He said making me gulp. Two events added to the ones Ya Ameenah and Ya Zainab are planning. Just wow.
"I think I'll run away and let them be the brides themselves. This isn't fair, they're practically forcing me into having an eventful wedding" I whined making him chuckle.
"You can't do that"
"And why is that?" I asked raising an eyebrow.
"You know they will all blame me and I'll be the talk of the town 'His wife ran away on their wedding day' and all that" He said mimicking a woman's voice making me chuckle.
"Well that's not bad at all, you'll be famous after all" I said.
"Yeah it sounds great" He said.
"Well where is Ayman?" I asked not able to resist.
"Oh, Ayman he's pretty busy this past week I haven't seen him since last two days" He said dismissing the topic.
"Oh well ta......"
"Anty Amwal!" Shouted Najib before coming into view.
"Baby what is it?" I asked him who by the looks of it is on the verge of crying.
"Kayyi and Hushna won't let me play with them" He said robbing his eyes and pouting which made him look even more cuter if that's possible.
"Oh. Come on let them play there ugly game and then we can go buy ice-cream later ok. Now greet Uncle Salim" I said which make his mood lighten up but hid his face in my veil when I mentioned Salim's name.
"Gwood afhternwoon" He greeted still hiding his face.
"Hey why are you hiding your face or are you shy" Salim asked amused by my baby's reaction making Najib hide his face more.
"Aren't you the cutest" he said awestruck by the way he's hiding.
"Ok now go to Mommy and I'll come get you when I'm done then we can go get the ice-cream" I told him who smiled before stepping down from my laps and running off to his mother's room.
"I think it's pretty late I need to get back home before Asr" he said standing up. I'm still surprised that he hasn't said any hurtful word yet but I'm still not letting my guards down.
"Ok, let me see you out" I said standing up. We headed to the parking space in silence before he suddenly turn.
"It's ok hear you can go back home. No need to stress yourself, Bye" He said.
"OK bye" I replied before turning and headed back to my room.
I got dressed in a white shirt pairing it with my black skirt and a black veil.
I took my phone and shoved some money in my clutch, I slipped on my flats before heading downstairs to look for the kids.
*******
Finally sighting Khari and Najib, I asked them to go call Husna and Asma then meet me in Ummah's parlor.
"Salamu alaikum" I greeted entering Ummah's parlor spotting Ya Zainab on the sofa facing the door.
"Wa'alaikumus Salam, Amalulu yakike? (How are you)" she yelled making me scrunch my face at the awful name she gave me.
"First of all my name is not Amalulu and as you can see I'm fine" I answered which earned me an eye roll from her.
"Well I wasn't asking you for your name and...... wait are you going somewhere?" She started but suddenly stop seeing me all dressed.
"Yeah taking the kids out to ShopRite wanna go?" I asked knowing how she loves their doughnut.
"Do you have to ask?" She said with a raised brow before vanishing into the house maybe to get her veil.
**********
Entering the massive doors of Ado Bayero Mall, I held Najib's hand tighter to avoid him from slipping off to destroy the place.
Ya Zainab and I patted ways I taking Najib with me and living the girls with her.
"Awnty Amwal I want this" he said pointing at a Spiderman toy park. He was pouting and his eyelashes overshadowed his cheeks which made him even more cuter if that is possible. I really love this child at times made me pray for a child like him.
"Ok, let's go and get it for you" I said making him squeal in excitement.
*********
Still walking around the kids section with Najib pointing randomly at some toys I shoved some toys for the girls before finally dragging Najib to pay and then to the bakery. I bought enough ice cream for everyone at home and some snacks before finally going out. I was immediately met by Ya Zainab's glares stating they have been waiting since in the car. I guess they didn't buy much but her eyes softened at the sight of mine and Najib's hands filled with toys.
"Oh how many times do I have to tell you to stop spoiling this boy?" She asked as soon as i entered the car after helping Najib into the back seat her eyes becoming teary. Ugh! Not another version of her stupid pregnancy hormones kicking in.
"Well you see Najib is my child and you don't worry it's all I can do for him. Oh wait no I can marry him of to my daughter. We'll that's my wish". I said making Ya Zainab smack my shoulder.
"Shameless girl" She said shaking her head sideways.
"Now let's get going before our ice cream melts" I said closing the door.
