On The Wings Of Dream

Chapter 30:soon to be parents

Bilal...

Its now i know how much Yusrah mean to me. Wallah am just living here but my heart is with her in Nigeria. I will call her more than ten times a day, asking of my baby.

I groaned and massaged my temple, puffing out invisible smokes. I grabbed my phone which was lying on the bedside drawer and dialed my wife's number. She picked up on the first ring and i swear her voice is more sweeter than honey tea with Lipton and lime.

"Babie Bilal"

"Naam my love. How was your night?"

"Uhmm...it was fine my dear. Just that your baby is giving me tough time"

She whined and even though i am not seeing her, i know she pouted. How much i love her pouts!

"Ohhh so sorry baby, it will soon be over"

"Not soon oo, five months is a long way"

I chuckled and blew her a kiss. I lay on my stomach as we chatted away happily, telling her how much i missed her and want to be with her.

"Muahhh to my baby, muahhh to the mother and muahhhh to both of them!"

I kissed them through the phone and heard the best sound in the world, her chuckles!!

We hung up the call after that. I smiled and stared at my phone.

I got up and took a warm shower, then got dressed. I quickly took my breakfast and drove straight to the office.

I was planning a surprise for Yusrah and my parents, i am going back to Nigeria without their knowledge.

"Good morning sir"

Saeef, an acquittance, also from Nigeria said, sitting down on the chair opposite mine. I replied and we set down to business, because if i go back to Nigeria, i will open another firm there, and leave the one here in the care of saeef and Ameenu.

After we finished, i went back to my apartment and started packing my clothes. I was smiling while i park, imagining how my wife's expression will be when she sees me.

I booked my flight online, before calling my beautiful wife.

"Ohhh my sweet heart!"

She squealed in delight, wonder what made her giddy like this.

"Yes my love. You sound so happy today"

"Yeah, am happy because the bump in my stomach is growing fast these days! And i tell you its so beautiful. And, Ohhh, the baby kicked! Though it hurts but its such a beautiful sight. Did you see how it moves, up, down, left right!!"

I laughed hearing her so happy, describing how the baby moves in her belly.

"Tell me baby, do you think the baby is a girl? I want a baby girl who will look like you, your dimples, your eyes, your pointed nose, she will even have her nose pierced and i will buy her a nose stud."

I said, kissing my phone.

"Nope, i want a baby boy, and from all indications the way this baby kicks, it's a baby boy, he kicks like a footballer!!"

She said, laughing out loud.

"Okay, gotta go, lemme go get my ice cream from downstairs."

"Hey baby its not healthy for the baby"

"Urghhhh, am craving for it, hey gotta go, need to get this fast!!"

She said, her voice fading away, and i just know she threw away her phone, probably to get the ice cream.
