His Gorgeous Muslimah (completed) √

CHAPTER TWENTY EIGHT

     Minal's Pov

    My heart skipped a beat the moment the gate man came out to see who's horning. The expression on his face when he saw me made we forget all what was going on in my mind and wish I had a camera to take at least a just two shots.
   "Amina!!" he called and bent over in order to have a good look.

   "Amina keh che?" (Are you the one Amina)  he asked as tears started to stream down his cheeks.

   "Alhamdulillahi Allah. Mun gode ma."
  

   He wiped his eyes with both hands and rushed to open the gates. I've known Mallam Ado  since I was 3 and we see him as part of our family because he has none and Mallam Ado is a very honest and trustworthy old man. I turned to look at Daddy who was also looking at me. I smiled at him and leaned back remembering how daddy broke the good news to me earlier today.

    * Flashback *
   I woke up as usual and after observing Salatul Subhi and reciting the Quran  for up to an hour, I went to the kitchen and started to make breakfast when Daddy asked Amma to call me.
  

    "Assalamu Alaikum" I said softly at the door to his room and waited patiently for his reply.

   "Waalaikumus Salam. Bismillah Amina,come in" he answered cheerfully. I opened the door slowly and said the Salam before entering. He was on the phone when I entered so I had to wait for him.
  

   "Haba Minal. Why are you sitting on the floor when the chair is just next to you " he said the moment he ended the call.
  

    "It's alright daddy. I'm OK here" I said drawing circles on the rug.

    "If you insist. " he said removing his glasses.

   "Do you know the reason why I called you?" he asked and I simply shook my head.

   "Wow! OK then. Guess" he said. I looked up surprised at his tone. I've never seen daddy sound so happy.

 
   "I have no idea Daddy" I replied chuckling.

   "OK then" he said picking his phone.

    "I guess I have to call someone and tell her that, her daughter Amina Sagir Alkali doesn't want to see her" he added looking so serious.

    I didn't know where my manners went to and I didn't know how it happened but all I could remember is that, I found Daddy's phone in my hand and he was laughing so hard.

   "Wow! I never knew you could be this strong Minal " he said making me close my face with my Hijab.

   "I'm sure you get the clue now. Right?" he asked and I nodded.

   "Masha Allah. So get ready. We're leaving soon. Our flight is by 11:15 am" he said. I couldn't help but let the tears flow freely down my cheeks. After all these months, I'm finally going to see my mother.

   "Thank you so much Daddy. Thank you for everything you've done for me. There's nothing I can do to pay back what you've done for me. The best thing I can do is to include you in my dua's. Jazakallah khairan. " I said in between sobs.

    I froze when I saw him wiping his eyes. "Go get ready Minal. " he said
   * End of flashback *
   
  
   Mallam Ado came and opened the car for me and even insisted on carrying my hand bag. I felt so different the moment I got out of the car. I felt secured. I felt love once again. Happiness, excitement and so many things I can't express.

    "Minal!!" James the gardener called running towards me. I turned and smiled at him looking at how much he has changed.

   I looked up stared at the window of my room. The sight from that window is just so magnificent.
