Destined to be

Chapter three

Get ready 🔥 Oops I shouldn't be exaggerating it!! but this part is worth loving 😊
The faces she saw made her yelled happily and jumped on her only brother Amaan,they hugged each other for some time,she said Ya Amaan I missed you,why did it took you so long to come back home,she punched him lightly on the shoulder with her fist with a pout on her lips,Amaan explained to Amaani that school was hectic and they're preparing for their final exams,she nodded in agreement and smiled.
She moved to the other person who was sitting next to Amaan and has been silently staring at Amaani for since she came in,it was her cousin Ayman. Ayman is a tall handsome guy of his late 20's,he was the one that picked up Amaan from the airport,Ayman is a graduate from a university in Kano,he did his Degree and Msc in computer science,he works in his father's company as the Managing director. Amaani scolded him for not telling her that Ya Amaan was on his way back home,he apologised to Amaani by saying; "I'm so sorry Princess Amaani,I wanted to make it a surprise",he pouted his pink plump lips, Amaani rolled her eyes and smiled on hearing Princess added to her name, which made them all laughed together. Ummu left them there in the sitting room in order to let them talk,eat and drink. The three had a great time together as usual when they meet,Ayman teased Amaani about not having a boyfriend but Amaan cut him mid sentence and said; do you too have a girlfriend? Ayman laughed and said I don't have a girlfriend either but I'm waiting for my charming Princess, Amaani shrugged and said me either,Amaan winked his eyes jokingly and said ummm I smelled something fishy from this conversation. Ayman and Amaani both said in unison; " don't think otherwise please,we are nothing but cousins that's all",they looked at each other in surprise for repeating the same thing at the same time,they both laughed. Amaan said whatever it is will definitely come out.
The Adhaan they heard made them keep quiet,after the Adhaan they each performed ablution,Ayman led the prayer at home,after they finished praying, she imagined herself in the future being lead by her husband in prayer, they said there azkars, they each prayed to the almighty God and stood up, they sat down and continued gisting with each other, she enjoyed the conversation because her favorite brother and favorite cousin were around her.
She checked the time,it was five minutes to five,she stood up and went to her bedroom straight to her closet and picked up her Abaya and a veil,she tied her blue turban neatly again, rubbed some powder,a light lipstick,lined her eyes and sprayed perfume, she rolled her veil and picked her blue side bag,a matching nine West slippers, changed her phone's case to blue and sashayed out of the room to where her brother and Ayman were sitting, without raising his head he knew that Amaani was there, he raised up his head from his phone's screen and looked at his cousin who was eyeing him playfully,she said; "Ya Ayman, you've been staring, please lower your gaze,I'm someone's property in the future,Ya Ayman said; "what if I'm looking at my property? She shrugged her shoulders and said; " whatever" In a low voice. Ya Amaan raised up his head to the place where his sister was standing and asked her where she was going to in this evening,she replied; I'm going to Mariya's house to collect my order, I ordered some snacks and drinks, he asked her what they are meant for,she said she felt like eating those sweet things today because she was feeling lazy to do it by herself today,he nodded his head and said okay good, now who is taking you to the place? She said; Malam Lawan will take me there,he said okay.
Ummu came into the sitting room with a bowl of cookies,she sat down and asked the children; what's going on here? Amaan said it's nothing just that I'm asking Amaani where she was going to,that's all. Ummu asked Amaani once more where she was going to,she told her that she's going to Farm centre to collect her order,that she ordered some things to eat from Donut castle,Ummu said Oh okay,but are you aware that I've sent Malam Lawan to Tarauni market and shu'aibu to Hajiya Fatima's house? And I don't think they will come back now,and you know you ain't going alone and I'm so tired to drive and Amaan either,Amaani stood up and sighed,she prayed in her mind that Ummu will not mention Ayman's name because she knows that he would love to go out with her,she noticed that he has been over acting since when he came,she made up her mind that she would refuse to go out so far it's Ayman that would take her. There was a short silence before Amaan broke the silence and said ; why not go with Ayman? Amaani looked up so fast in order to stop her brother nonverbally but before she could say something, Ummu quickly said; Oh yes!! Good idea,Ayman would you please take her there? Ayman said; why not Ummu?I'd take her and also wait for her,it's nothing, Amaani was burning inside,her heart beating so fast. Ayman picked the car key and his phone,Amaani looked at at him and called him wicked soul in her mind,she followed him to the parking lot,he opened the front seat for her but before he said anything,she has already opened the back seat, Ummu was standing in front of the front door of the house,she looked at Amaani angrily,without Ummu saying a word,Amaani sat in the front seat,Ummu mumbled to her self and said naughty girl and moved inside the house.
It was a silent drive before Amaani broke the silence and said to Ayman; Ya Ayman why didn't you say No when Ummu asked you if you would take me to Mariya's house? He replied looking at the road,why should I disobey my Aunt and also refuse going out with my Princess? With a shaky voice she said; what do you mean by going out with your Princess? He said time will definitely tell us,the drive continued but it wasn't silent as before,he played "Bad things by Camilla Cabello" and sang along with the music with his husky deep but sweet voice which made Amaani smiled beautifully,his strong deep scent of Haramain perfume mixed with the scent of her oudh perfume along with the cool air conditioner. She loved how he was singing along with Camilla,she stared at him for so long while he was driving,she admired his dressing,it was an Ash coloured sweatpants and black Nike t-shirt,a black wrist watch and his silver ring,his hair well combed and curly,his face was pimples free,his pink plump cute lips, pointed nose and his big eye balls well balanced in the eye socket,his full grown beard was eye catching. He caught her staring but he concentrated on the road,but when they stopped in a traffic jam,he caught her still staring at him,but she let out a deep sigh and looked away,he called out her name and said to her; you've been staring at me for so long,is something wrong with my face? She started stammering saying I....I....I was looking at the other side of the road,why should I stare at you for so long like I've never seen you before? He laughed and said Amaani you're something else,you always have something to say in order to defend yourself. He said to her; I wanted to compliment on your dressing and your beauty because you look different today maybe it's because you're going out with your Prince Ayman, Amaani laughed and said; who crowned you the Prince? He laughed and shrugged his shoulders.
They were in Farm centre, Amaani directed him to the house they were going to, they arrived safely,she quickly went out of the car in a hurry to Mariya's house's gate where she met Mariya's brother at the gate,they talked for like two minutes before she entered the house, she said"Assalamualaikum",Mariya screamed loudly and said "wa alaikumussalam" Amaani so it's you? She greeted Umma, Mariya's mother and they went straight to Mariya's room and jumped on the bed,she removed her Abaya, unveiled her veil and said; hey what's up? Will you go to school tomorrow? She answered;sure I will. Amaani told Mariya that Amaan is back home,she told her everything that happened before coming out and on their way to Mariya's house, Mariya said I smelled something fishy,she asked Mariya what that was but Mariya said time will definitely tell.
Mariya went out brought her what she order, Amaani payed her and started getting ready to go,she helped her with some to the car and greeted Ayman,he answered her kindly, they dropped the boxes in the back seat and closed the case,she entered the front seat and waved Mariya goodbye.
Amaani said to to Ya Ayman; I am sorry for staying too long. Ayman stopped her and said; Shush,it's nothing, anything for my Princess. Amaani pouted and said; Ya Ayman,why are you naughty towards me these days? He said it's a secret,only myself and God knows. He played "Next to you by Justin Bieber" and was singing along with JB,he cleared his throat and ask her who the guy at Mariya's gate was,she said to him that he's her friend's brother,he sighed and asked her hope there is nothing between you two? She stammered Y..y..y yes, he asked her why she was stammering but she said nothing.
Amaani kept asking herself why Ya Ayman is behaving this way today? Why is she feeling something strange within herself? Why is she feeling strange with him today despite him being her brother,why is he obdurate today? Why is she not solace being with him today? Why is he looking different and handsome today? He looked breathtaking and stunning today! His eyes has a lot to explain,she kept asking herself different questions,she was bemused. Ayman understood and noticed Amaani's sudden change of mood,he looked into her eyes quickly while driving and asked her to breath in and out and relax.
They arrived back home safely and alighted out of the car,he reminded her of the boxes and packs in the back seat,he helped her picked them up. They both went straight to the main door and entered the house,they said "Assalamualaikum" in unison and went inside the house,they entered the kitchen and opened the fridge in order to store the items. It was already time for maghrib when they arrived home,Ayman went to Amaan's room and met Amaan rearranging his stuffs he came back with,he entered Amaan's bathroom and performed ablution,the two guys prayed together. Amaani prayed in her room too,she removed her Abaya,she was still wearing her blue tight jeans which showed her beautiful figure 8, her red top too fitted her well,she wasn't wearing her turban but her hair neatly tied in a high bun. She came out of her room to the kitchen where she met Ummu preparing supper for the family,she said when did you guys come back? Amaani answered her and said; around maghrib, Ummu smiled and said; how was your way? Amaani answered; Alhamdulillah.
Amaani opened the fridge and brought out the boxes from the fridge which she dropped on the kitchen cabinet, Ummu said; wow! Amaani I love those cake parfaits and milkshakes, Amaani said to her Mum; pick the ones you like and we will eat the remaining with Amaan and Ayman, Ummu nodded in agreement and said;thank you my Baby. Larai helped her with the boxes to the parlour where they were all seated talking and laughing and waiting for her despodently. Ayman couldn't take away his eyes from her,the cloths she was wearing showed her complete figure which made him go crazy and can't take away his eyes off her. She asked Larai to drop the boxes on the centre table, she did as commanded. Amaani sat down and said; Ya Amaan and Ya Ayman join me here,they are cupcakes, milkshakes,cake parfaits and doughnuts, Amaani yelled oh! I forgot to bring the cutleries here which we will use to eat,she went to the kitchen and came back with the needed items. She said; Amaan should we all eat from the same plate? Amaan said ; No I wanna eat alone today,but you two can eat together, Amaani mumbled; Ayman and Amaan are behind something,she served Amaan and served them in the same plate with Ayman.
They ate silently,but only when the cream spoiled Amaani's mouth and nose's tip, Ayman laughed non-stop and Amaan joined him in laughing too but she was bemused,Ayman took a photo of her and showed it to her,she was angry at them but continued eating,she took the milkshake and gulped it down,here she comes again,she had the milkshake moustache on her mouth which made her looked like an old man,this time around the guy's laughed hysterically at their sister,Ayman took a photo of her and showed it to Amaan,they both laughed again like they've seen a clown. Ayman picked a tissue and wiped up Amaani's mouth and tip of nose,Amaani couldn't stop him instead she was staring at him like a zombie. They both finished eating and called Larai to clear the table and clean up the place, Ummu asked her to eat the remaining, which she did.
It was getting late,Ayman stood up and said,I have to go now because it's getting late and tomorrow is Monday,I have to go to the office early for the meeting I called for, Amaani felt like stopping him but she kept asking herself what was wrong with her. Everyone noticed Amaani's mood,but Ummu couldn't keep quiet,she came to her baby and asked her what was wrong,but she said; it's nothing Ummu. Ummu only smiled in pretence,Ayman picked his car key and phone,he said goodbye to everyone,Amaan accompanied him to the parking lot,he opened his car and got inside,he told Amaan that they will talk on phone,go get some rest bro, you're tired I guess,my regards to Aunty Aisha and Daddy,Amal and Laila,he said sure bro.
Amaani said goodnight to everyone and went to her room already getting ready to sleep because tomorrow is Monday,her phone beeped,a sign a message has been sent to her,she checked it,it was an unknown number that sent the message which said; "Amaani I can't get you off my mind,I love being around you, and I promise to be by your side for better for worse,you are one of a kind. Amaani,take care of yourself for your unknown lover,I love you so much but I don't think this is the right time to confess my feelings for you,
Yours secret lover.
Amaani's eye bulged out,she covered her mouth with her palms with a teary shiny eye,her body was cold,cold shivers going down her spine and body, goosebumps appeared on her skin,she read the message for 2-3 times before throwing the phone on her bed,she continued thinking about the message before she travelled to La la Land.
But who could this be? Who could be her secret lover? Who could be this person she doesn't know but knows her? Isn't she too early to start this love stuffs and time wasting shits? We shall see who this person is.
