FATE

CHAPTER SIX

Yey! Another update, sorry it took a little longer. Have fun reading it.

An impeccably dressed elderly woman sat in a plush sitting room while a younger looking version of her sat beside her nursing a child while they chat animatedly.

"Mummy you need to see the way Aisha our friend always brag that her husband won't get her a Co wife" the younger one said.

"That's her mistake, you never rule out getting a Co wife because men are unpredictable"

"That's it mom, we've told her that times without number but she refuses to agree and now look, today is her husband's dinner. She is pretty shaken up and you know what mummy, he didn't tell her about the wedding. She found out when she came across the invitation card in his closet, it shook her to the core" she said shaking her head.

"Poor girl, he is a guy. He isn't meant for her alone, the sooner young girls realise that the better for them"

"Mom I totally agree with you, even though wallah I don't like a Co wife" she said scrunching her nose.

"Uhm women and Co wives I Salamed thrice without answer because you are so Ingraved in your discussion" Dr. Munnir said in mock disapproval.

"Yaaya what we are saying is totally true nobody wants a Co wife but you guys like seeing your wives barking like dogs at each other"

" well, Allah permits us to have 4 wives so what is your point exactly?"

"Uhmmn, look who is talking about Co wives. You don't even have a wife yet but you are talking about 2 wives" his mum said cutting him off.

"Exactly mom, maybe we have to start circulating his pictures around and just maybe some poor girl would have pity on him and take interest" his sister yasmeen said while carefully placing her sleeping infant beside her mum on the sofa.

"Allah ya kyauta (godforbid ) lallai kinga gadon bacci na, mum can you hear what this small girl is saying?" he said pointing to her.

Their mother laughed and said" Allow her she is saying the truth, is it a lie? I am even considering that idea"

"Mummy even you, okey you guys should chill. I have a girlfriend and I know you would love her" he said while pouring himself a drink just brought in by the maid.

"Really? Who is she? Where does she live? Do I know her?" Yasmeen excitedly started ranting while their mom looks visibly happy with the new development. She have been on his case for years to bring home a wife but he always dismisses the topic , with he wants to focus on his career and now Alhamdulillah he is talking about a girl. She can't wait for his father who is away on a businessman trip , he is very well known business tycoon, to come home and hear the good news.

"Yas Yas, breath. Ask one question at a time please, her name is nooriyya and she lives around here and no, you don't know her" he says a matter of factly.

"Finally we have a wedding in tow" Yasmeen said not containing her excitement.

" wait son, are you really serious?" Their mother asked seriously.

"I am very serious mom, it is high time I get married and luckily nooriyya is just the type of woman I want"

She nodded satisfied with his response because she can clearly see how his face radiates when he smiles, that is clearly love.

"When your father comes home I share this information with him, we will do what is right"

"Mom so fast? Are you tired of me already? Ouch! I am heartbroken " he says dramatically holding his chest, while both his mother and his sister laughed to their heart content.
