Today marks the day hajiya,mummy and daddy are leaving for Saudi Arabia and basma is coming back to stay with them. Jawahir and Muhammad entered daddy's parlour together as everyone is sitted there before they leave for the airport. They exchange pleasantries with the elders before sitting down on the carpeted floor.
"Jawahir how are you feeling? Mummy told me the good news may Allah grant you an easy delivery"daddy pray and they all choruse ameen jawahir felt a bit shy while hajiya and basma were surprised.
"What do you mean by good news kabir"hajiya ask daddy to clarify her doubts.
"I am so sorry hajiya I forget to tell you we are having an additional member to this family jawahir is pregnant"daddy explained with so much happiness. Hajiya was to shock to even speak and everyone was watching her reaction basma left the parlour in rage because she couldn't contain her anger everybody was surprised by her outbursts.
"Daddy we are having a cute new baby I'm going to brag about it more than aysha,she is always talking about her cousin and I will pray to Allah so that our baby will be finer than their own and he has to call me adda even baby fareeda when she grows up"fadeela rambled and all the attention went back to her as she is sitted on daddy's lap.
"Insha Allah adda fadeela"daddy said dragging her nose forward and everyone laugh.
"And me too hamma"fadeel beamed proudly.
"Toh hamma and adda go and play outside"daddy said carefully.
"Safeenah go and call basma"daddy said as the twins walk out he can't let her action go unnoticed.when she enteredshe sat down near hajiya and hajiya quickly signalled her with her eyes.
"Sorry daddy I walk out when you are talking I felt like vomiting at that time that is why I walk out quickly"she said innocently as she understood hajiya's message you could swear it wasn't thesame bitchy basma talking.
"Basma you haven't stop vomiting uptill,it's been almost a week now I thought you're feeling better"hajiya said backing her up in her pretence "you see kabir since we left for katsina she bought one fried grasshopper and ate since the she's been vomiting and purging"she fake a worried expression and they all fall for it except mareena and the twins who know them like the back of their hands.
"Oh hard luck has she seen any doctor"daddy asked worried.
"Yes he even gave her some medicine,basma are you sure you have taken those medicine I know how you're when it comes to medicine"hajiya went on with their drama.
"Ummm...hajiya I didn't take it because I was feeling better but I took it now before feenah called me"basma answered with all eyes on her but she still manage to lie.
Daddy took his time advising them on how to leave in peace before Muhammad took them to the airport and he waited for thier plane to take of before leaving the airport. He drove home directly.
He entered the kitchen and found his wife by the sink he sneak up on her and hug her from behind.
"Haba ya moh you scared me"she said trying to push him.
"Sorry wifey I just couldn't help it"he said mischieviously turning her around "and why are you working? where are the twins? didn't the doctor advice you to rest?"he kept rambling her with questions.
"One at a time baba one at a time, the twins cleaned everywhere in the kitchen before going to bed I was just washing this plate I ate with"she explained gesturing at the plate.
"Why do you have to wash it you should've call one of them"he said with his one hand on her waist and the other one tucking a strand of hair that fell on her face.
