I was so happy..finally he was seeing reasons with me...i dont know what came over him..but oh boy am i so glad.. Salmah would have never spoken to me again..she was already heartbroken when i told her i was not going to be around for her big day..what kind of a mean friend would do that??..at least some sense was knocked to his head..

I decided to visit my parents before going to salmah house..i miss them very much..taking into my surrounding i found myself in the all too well known place..the Abdurrahman mansion...

"A'a hajaju makatan...kune hakan a gidan mu yau..marhaba dai..gaskiya oga na kokari"...our talkative gateman greeted me..(big madam.. So you decided to visit us today..welcome..oga is really trying o)

My mind immediately went to zahradeen.. Has he eaten?..because he left very early in the morning..i immediately wiped the thought away..entering into the parlour, nothing has changed(like i expected anything to change)..

"Mamah...am home.." I screamed..

The house was quiet..i forgot..jamil should be in school likewise walida..daddy is also at work..

I took up the stairs and went straight to mummys room..i met mum laying on the bed with the duvet up to her neck..she never sleeps like that..something must be wrong..i wanted tapping her when anty dije our househelp came into the room..

"Hanan dear...when did you come in?..welcome.. Have a seat"...she said

"Uhmm..anty dije whats wrong with mummy why did she lie like that?..hope everything is alright"..

"Yes...she is just sick.  The family doctor just left..i went to make her soup..hopefully she will get better soon"..

"Since when has she been sick...nobody cared to call me up..so because i got married..the affairs of this house are not my concern anymore right?"...i spoke sullen

"Nooo..it was not our fault.. It was strictly baba and mummy orders..she said we should not disturb you..we wanted to but she stopped us"..

Typical mummy...i sighed and proceeded to wake her up to take her chicken soup..after much persuasion she took three spoons full..

"Hanan love..please just go for your wedding i will be fine"..

"No mummy...how can you say that..am staying here till you get better"..

"Am already better...let me not be a fun spoiler"..

With that she kissed my head and i reluctantly stood up with the promise to be back to check on her later..

I headed for the door with anty dije right behind me..

"Hanan..truly this pregnancy is really making you glow and more beautiful..congratulations"..

I stopped in my tracks...say what now!!!...pregnancy.. I started making calculations in my head..

"Anty dije..am not pregnant o..its just the new cream am using"..i laughed it off..

"New cream??...hmm..u dont want me to know..its so obvious..or haven't you checked yet?...when last did you see mrs crimson red?"..

I started calculating.. putting pieces together..i haven't seen my period in two months... How foolish of me..blush slowly crept up my skin..
