Chapter 22- Celebration

Zaynab

"Are you ready?", I look at a nervous looking Basha who looks as if she'd throw up on this very floor before we even get a chance to enter the hall like.

"It's so filled. Why is it so filled?", she looks at me like she'd start to cry.

"Babez, don't worry about them, really. Just think about you and Ibrahim after all this. Come on, we gotta go in, you'll be fine. Just stick to me, I'll distract", I smile which seemed to calm her down.

I nod towards Aamanee who opens the door dramatically. Girl, CHILL, it ain't your wedding. Everyone instantly stands up and all eyes fall on us and the brideee who looks absolutely stunning in her elegant baby pink bridal dress.

We step onto the red carpet and look straight ahead at Ibrahim who's now standing up with Yousif beside him. He looks handsome mashAllah.

I look toward Yousif who's hopping up and down as we walk towards the stage.

"MOMMY, DADDY, LOOK IT'S MOMMY", he yells then he tries to run over to me but Abiodun pulls him back and places him on his lap while the crowd just laugh at him. Wallahi this boy is so adorable. That's my baby tho.

Basha greets her parents then mommy and daddy before Aamanee takes her up to the stage. She sits down beside Ibrahim who looks at her then they both smile at each other before she looks down at her lap.

I make my way back to where Abiodun is and sit in-between him and Fawaz.

"Mommy", Yousif jumps on my lap and gives me a kiss.

"Baby, why all the affection?", I chuckle and ruffle his hair as he hugs me tightly.

"Your bags and everything are in his house already, don't worry about anything", I whisper to Basha who nods then rushes over to her brothers.

"Ibrahim, here", mommy hands his house keys to him.

"Ah, thanks mama. We'll come tomorrow to visit before we leave for our honeymoon", he hugs and kisses her cheek.

"Okay, just be careful yeah and have fun".

"Oh I will", he smile which made me and mommy chuckle.

"Okay, we should go, am wrecked like, Basha", he calls.

She finishes hugging her parents then walks over.

"He's yours now. Have fun", I hug and kiss her. She smiles and nods then greets mommy who smiles.

"Bye", we wave and watch the two walk out of the building from the back door. Once they left, music starts playing.

"You okay?", I look at Abiodun who looks over at me, glances at his sister who's laughing with Zara the looks back at me with a smile.

"Am hopeful"., he whispers.

"What?", I sit in front of him and smile.

"HE really does work in mysterious ways", was all he said.

"HE does", I smile then hug him. "Am happy that I met you, even though it took a while, am glad I got you to see the real me, and am grateful that you forgave me. I love you Zaynab, so very much", he whispers.

"Am glad we gave us another chance too. I love you too", I kiss his forehead then cheeks which made him smile.

"Me too", Yousif runs over and jumps on us.

"Haha, always you too", we both laugh as he gives us both a kiss each before running back to the dancefloor with Azeez and the rest of the kids who are dancing with each other, it's so cute. Fawaz and Aayan are crazy I swear. They're literally the only niggas dancing amongst kids while the rest are going crazy on the "adult dancefloor".
