The most shocking thing happened to Ahmad that particular day. It was the day. They day he had been waiting for to finally show Aysha that he really does love her and nothing on earth can change that. She might drive him nuts and make him want to yank his hair out but nothing could change they way he felt for her. Nothing!
When Ahmad looked up Aysha was already awake and praying.. the most shocking thing was that it was three A.m in the morning. A huge smile made its way to Ahmad face and for a moment he wanted to jump off the bed and give her a big hug.
On a normal day, Aysha wouldn't wake up and pray Fajr but she was wake by three A.m making Nafil prayers to her creator. He felt happy as he sand praises to his Lord for making his wife change her ways. Most of his prayers for his wife was for her to start praying on time and Alhamdulillah it's coming around.
"Aysha!" He called out when he couldn't hold it in any longer. She turned to him, made a shirt supplication then with a wide smile stood up and sat on the edge of the bed close to him.
"Good morning baby!" There was this happiness radiating off her that for a moment he wondered if she was about to jump him or perhaps kill him. She was being calm. Too calm.
"Morning!" He answers unsure. It was suspicious. Too suspicious. It was suppose to be his wedding day and they way she was acting.. it was like the most happiest day of her life!

Aysha sensed her husband discomfort. She was equally surprised. When she went to the bed the night before she felt like it was her last day in earth but then in the early hours of the morning she felt like her Lord was calling her, after performing ablution and praying two Rakaat she felt at ease. Like nothing was wrong.
She forgot about him bring a wife and just focus on her family and her religion. She cried when she remembered she played with her Sallat. How crazy could she be? She quit her job the day after she heard she was pregnant. People at work were very much surprise knowing she was a workaholic and many betting she wouldn't keep up for a week but she did and it had been three weeks.
"What?" She couldn't keep quiet any longer, he was staring at her like she was an alien that fell from space.
"Are you okay?"
She expected that question. "Of course!" She chuckled. "Why wouldn't I be?"
"Uh.. nothing." He dismissed his tone showing he didn't believe her one bit. He proceeded to leave the bed but then turns to look at her. "You do know what today is right?"
"Yes and I want to talk to you." She heaved a breath. Ahmad I know I haven't been a good wife to you. I know how you dreamt our marital life would be didn't turn out the way you expected. For that I sincerely apologize. Ahmad Dan Allah ka yafemun. So Allah will forgive me and hopefully grant me Jannah. I wondered what would have happened if I died earlier.. I know I won't be in Jannah as I disobeyed my husband and caused him grief. And about your marriage. I want to tell you that I support you fully. If I wasn't giving you what you wanted then you have every right to being who can. I'm sorry. And I didn't want you to feel bad. Honestly I'm fine! I and the baby will be fine and hopefully is too."
Ahmad looked at her for a full minute and then muttered 'Alhamdulillah' under his breath. The looked at her and hugged her to his chest. "May Allah bless you with his abundant favours."

Aysha was dressed to impress. Ahmad sent a makeup artist to come and make her up. It was a very subtle look one which made Aysha dark skin to pop up. Her hair was put up in a bun and a gele was elegantly tied on her head. A lady arrived with a beautiful burgundy dressed. It was mermaid shape and brought our her figure nicely. Aysha has been calling Dina and Noor but none of them arrived. She needed her friends with her. Tried as she might, her heart skipped a beat. She was no longer Ahmad's only wife, they are going to be two.
It was time, Dina and Noor still hadn't arrived yet. She had to heaved out and take a huge breath before making her way downstairs. When the door to the set up hall opened. Her mouth fell open in shock.
