Zuhri Weldge

Chapter 15

It was already a year since Zayn and Zuhri had gotten married. Zayn had already started work as Dallas basketball coach since his departure from swellview middle school.

It was 9pm when Zuhri had arrived back home. She knocked on the front porch as the door was swung open by Zayn.

"Guess what Zayn?" She asked with a raised brow

"Um, why don't you come in first?" He said as he didn't want to create a scene in the neighborhood. If Zuhri was happy, she'd create a commotion and Zayn didn't quite feel very comfortable with it so Zuhri obliged as he closed the door

"Now tell me what has gotten my beautiful wife happy?"

"No you have to guess, that's the rule" she said smiling

"C'mon Zuhri, you know I suck at guessing" he snorted

"Okay, okay, do you know who's standing in front of you?"

"What do you mean?" He asked finding her question absurd

"You're not looking at an attorney are you?, You're looking at a judge" She finally said after dragging her words

"Nooo....." He said outrageously as he pulled her into a hug. "This is good news sweetheart, or shall I say , judge?" Zayn asked with a wink

"Yes of course and you know what I got on the way....

"I suck at guessing Zuhri just spill"

"Leroy champagne" she shouted as she brought it out if her handbag

"Are you shitting me" he said sounding unbelievable. " I'll go grab two glasses" he volunteered as he went into the kitchen.

A minute later, he was back with two glasses.

"I should do the honors of popping up the champagne" he said as he collected it from Zuhri and opened it making a pop up sound. Zuhri and Zayn laughed as Zayn poured the champagne into each glass then raised for a toast

"Now to the newest judge in town, Mrs Zuhri Whitehorse, I wish you all the best." He winked as they both cheered to Zuhri's success.

Zuhri's face was down for a bit and Zayn sensed the lack of happiness in her

"What's wrong?" He asked concerned

" Um, Nothing...." She lied as she fought hard to hold back her tears

"Why so sad Zuhri?, This is good news"

"I know Zayn but everything still looks incomplete.

"What do you mean?" He asked and this time guessed what she was gonna say but waited for her to say it first

"I mean I'm married now and I already got a promotion but it's not still complete Zayn, it's incomplete

"Zuhri, tell me you're not still bringing up this child matter again"

"Yes I am, I want to have a child!" She shouted

"Then go for adoption Zuhri" he shouted back as he noticed that made Zuhri sad. "I'm sorry

"Never mind, you just don't understand anything" she wiped off her tears and walked out to her room slamming the door

Zayn shook his head as he drained his glass of champagne

********
In Zuhri's office

"So you guys ended up sealing the happy moment with an argument huh?" Janelle asked in wonders as Zuhri gave a nod

"What's wrong with you Zuhri?" Janelle asked

"What do you mean by what's wrong with me Janelle, am I wrong cuz I want a child"

"No, I didn't say that"

"Then what are you saying Janelle!, You're pregnant already and in a few months you'll be giving Sean a wonderful news and I , I won't be able to bear zayn's child...." She trailed off her words as she buried her head in a file

"Zuhri, I didn't know that hearing about my pregnancy would make you sad?" Janelle said in a saddened tone

Zuhri raised up her head and wiped off her tears

"Its not like that Janelle" she explained

"No, I know what this is all about. You're not happy to see me happy" she stated with anger seeping in her tone. Zuhri tried to explain and apologize but Janelle walked out on her leaving the door wide open.

Zuhri sat in her chair with despair and pain all over

"I'm going crazy over this matter, what has gotten all over me?" She asked as she bursted in tears. Then she heard a knock. It was Bradley, dawn and tyre, the three if them were standing by the opened door

Zuhri quickly wiped off her tears and ushered them in.

"How you doing children?, You didn't tell me you were coming" she said as she gave them all a light kiss in the cheek

"Granny told us about your promotion so we thought we drop by to drop off the gift we got for you" Tyra, the oldest Said gesturing at the gift pack dawn was holding

"Awwwn, that's so sweet of you guys but seriously you should have just called me up and I would have come get it myself" Zuhri said appreciating their efforts

"But aunt you were crying?" Dawn said

"No, it was tears of joy. I was so happy with my promotion that I started crying honey" she lied trying to convince the children

"Okay, now when will you take us to have our afternoon ice cream?"

"Um, now?

"Yay!" Bradley and dawn celebrated but Tyra wasn't fooled, she knew Zuhri was sad but then she didn't say anything. Then, they all left to have ice cream.
