I was laying on the bed while chowing some nuts and strolling through Instagram when Omar rushed in the room and shut the door behind him with full force, I got startled a bit as a half chewed nut went the wrong direction making choke. Omar offered me some water while slightly patting my back, when I finally recovered I asked "What's wrong?"And I looked at him worriedly "Don't worry, everything is fine. I've handled it" He stated "You know I won't be happy if you don't share what worries your mind" I said "It's okay" He said as I kept persuading him

"Can you imagine that girl?" He asked more like a statement.... Trust me I've overlooked her ever seeking attention ass and I've just been doing my businesses at home and not giving her the attention she needs. All she's been seeking is troubles and I don't have time for that

"What is it this time?" I chuckled knowing so well that Omar should get used to this by now "I've sent her packing" He said seriously "What?" I asked with my eyes bulging out a bit in the state of bewilderment "Why? Don't you think it's a bit late for someone to leave for katsina at this hour?" I asked looking between him and the clock that hung

"She said grandma's death wish is for me to marry her" He said furiously as my heart skipped beats "What?" I asked disappointed "Grandma know so well that nothing on earth would ever make me marry her" He complained... Ohh wait! Does he have plans of marrying another?

"That is just weird" I said a bit hurt "I am not marrying her" He stated. There was an awkward silence before I broke it

"But don't you think it's dangerous for her to leave now?" I asked concerned about her safety "I know, I sent the driver to drop her home safely" He said

Hmmm so he cares about her safety? He definitely cares about her😑

"What?" He asked as I suddenly realised that I was glaring at him "Nothing" I looked away immediately "Are you sure?" He asked "Yes... yes" I smiled and turned my back against him "Good night" I said in a high pitch "Ugh.. Good night" He said sounding a bit confused "Yeah" I said "Okay" He replied "Alright" I said

"Can you stop doing that?" "Stop doing what?" I asked "Replying every conversation" He explained "Okay" I said still trying to have the last talk as he groaned "Good night and No more words from you or..." He stated as I turned around to face him "Or what?" I smirked "Or we're gonna have another baby" He smirked as mine faded "Audhubillah!" I gasped as he laughed

"Just kidding bruv" He admitted. He wrapped his arm around me and pulled me closer "Why are you so insecure? You know that I belong to you alone and I can never have another after you" He said as I looked at him surprised "How did I know?" He asked as I slowly nodded "Linked minds remember?"

"I love you" I only said "I love you too and don't forget to make dua" He pinched my nose as I snorted "Oink oink" He teased as I laughed getting used to been called a pig now. I love all of this, the attention, him being here, Alhamdulillah

Omar kept poking me till I had no option but to rise to my feet. Sighing I did my business in the bathroom and performed ablution, I joined him afterwards as we observed Fajr together. I snuggled next to him as he wrapped his arms around me, he pinched my nose and I bit him

"Ouch!" He yelped as he withdrew his hand immediately "You evil witch from the west" He held his thumb as I laughed. He shook his head and went straight to the kitchen. I folded the praying mat and laid the bed as I waited in bed for him, shortly he came in with a tray of food and sat it on the bed with a cloth beneath it

"Thank you my humble servant" I teased as I spread nutella on my bread "At your service" He mumbled now chowing on what was in front of him "Where did you learn how to cook this good?" I asked as I devoured the meal "My ex taught me" He shrugged as I glared at him "Ohh" I only said as I felt hurt "What's with your expression? Are you jealous?" He asked "Bruh you know I would bust someone's lips over you, snatch wigs and run over someone's body on the highway" I said "Damn! Okay. Okay" He looked at me like I'm crazy

"How come you never told me about her?" I asked "I was just kidding. I learnt how to cook from the mini jobs I ran abroad" He explained "Ohh It just makes more sense" I admitted remembering the time he almost burnt down the house five years ago "But for real tho, you never talked about any of your ex" I said "I didn't?" He asked as I only looked at him dead in the eye "Ohh right" He chuckled as I rolled my eyes

"Let's just say I never had time for any sort of relationship, I was all about work, work, work and I sort of missed out the kind of fun the youths experience" He said as I slowly closed my mouth and blinked slowly "What?" He chuckled "Are you serious?" I asked "Yep" He said seriously "Wow!" I exclaimed "What?" He asked "I feel bad... matter of fact, I feel like a horrible person" I admitted

"What? Why?" He asked confused "Me a lady having two exes and here you are having none. I feel sort of cheap" I explained "No, No, No don't be like that, you aren't with them because it wasn't meant to be plus me not having exes doesn't make me a good person, Okay?" He consoled me as I only smiled and stared at him

"Okay creepo. Stop staring at me like that" He said "You have never fallen in love before until you met me, you know what that means right?" I grinned as he scratched the nape of his neck somewhat confused "I am your first love" I exclaimed as he sighed "You be doing too much" He whined "I am your one and only true love" I said happily as he shook his head while he picked the tray and headed to the kitchen

I checked the time and it was 9:30am and I know Ahmad would be up by now so I decided to call Habiba. After several beeps she decided to pick
"Oh God! What is it again?" She asked disgusted from her sleep "Mom didn't raise a mannerless child, is this how to approach an elder?" I asked "Sorry o. Good morning ma" She greeted "Morning. Now please give my baby the phone" I ordered "Okay.... Ahmad!" She yelled as I pulled my phone from my ear immediately and placed it back afterwards "Na'am" I heard Ahmad say in the background "Your mommy wants to speak with you" She said "Yay mommy!" He exclaimed "Hello Salamu alaikum!" He greeted in his small voice "Waalaykum salam Ahmad! How are you dear?" I asked "I'm fine mommy, how are you and daddy?" He asked "We're all fine and missing you. You don't want to come back koh?" I asked

"No mom, It isn't so I just like it here. Grandpa bought me lots of toys and I would go horse riding with him on Sunday" He said excitedly "There's a new amusement park, me and daddy would be going there on Monday" I said "Are you for real?" He asked gleefully "Yep" I replied "I'm coming home then" He said as I silently said "YES!"

"But I am scared of heights and hate flying" He complained
"Don't worry Anty Habiba would come along with you okay?" I assured him "Okay" He said in his tiny voice "Is that Ahmad?" Omar asked as I nodded "Let me talk to him" He said as I passed him the phone after saying "I love you" I left Omar having a manly conversation with his son

I changed to a baggy shirt and yoga pants and started exercising as advised by the doctor. Omar walked in on up and started laughing, I rolled my eyes and continued
"I'm heading to work aiite?" He said "But I thought you said you were staying home for the week?" I pouted "Yes I did, I just have to sort out a few things, I'd be back before you know it. I promise" He kissed my forehead "Just don't be late" I warned "I won't babe, see you soon" He left

Fifteen minutes later I am lying on the floor with my arms and legs stretched as I heaved. Breathing heavily and totally exhausted I just knew I was done for the day until I heard a loud knock on the door

"Ugh! Who's this person?" I asked no one particularly "The person would have to wait for a while" I thought until there was now a bang on the door "Who is this person that wants to break down the door?" I asked annoyedly as I tried lifting myself from where I thought I had just find comfort "Coming" I yelled as the person continued banging "I said I'm coming now mtshwww" I hissed as I opened the door to check the human bulldozer that is trying to break down the house, as I opened the door I saw Omar's aunt and his cousin. I concealed my disappointment with a smile as I let them in

"Good morning ma! I'm so sorry I didn't know it was you" I said a bit embarrassed of my outbreak "It's okay" She said and looked around "Where is Omar?" She asked "He went to check a few things at work but he'd be back soon" I explained "What would you like to eat?" I asked

"I only have business with Omar" She said as she crossed her legs
