"Sis I can't wait to see them, I miss them so much, it feels like it's been months I have last seen them." Habeebah said happily as she came out of the bathroom dressed in a blue Ankara skirt and blouse.
"They also miss you a lot my dear." Humairah replied tidying up the room as they prepared to leave.
"Are you guys ready?" Suhaib asked from outside the room door.
"We will be out in a minute." Humairah replied. "He is so impatient." She grumbled.
"I heard that part." He said peeping through the door.
"Oh well." she rolled her eyes.
"Baba's princess are you done?" He asked Habeebah winking.
"What did you just call me?" Habeebah asked hands akimbo.
"I said Adda Habeebah are you ready." He replied with a smirk.
"That's more like it." She said trying to suppress her laughter.
"Allah ya shiryeka (May God deliver you), Oya come and carry this box." Humairah commanded.
"No no that is not happening, I am not carrying that." He stated.
"Let it be sis he won't be able to carry it, those things are just for show." Habeebah said pointing at his muscles.
"You are right my dear all the hours he spends in the gym is for nothing, I am so disappointed." Humairah said dramatically.
"All my efforts in the gym is not a waste, okay! And I am going to prove that to you, i will not only carry the box, I will also carry the basket." He proudly said showcasing his muscles.
"Okay then meet us outside." They both said grabbing their bags.
"Wait what about the rest?" He asked but all he could hear was their laughter from the hallway. "They tricked me, I will surely get them back for this." He muttered complacently.
After what seemed like forever, they finally got to Humairah's home. Habeebah was so excited to see her kids, nephews and her beautiful niece Kydah. As they all alighted from the car, Hanaan was the first to run to her.
"Maami!!" The little girl screamed hugging her tightly. "How are you doing? We miss you so so much." She said hugging her again.
"I missed you too my dear." She replied kissing her cheeks.
"Mom?!" Aaliyah questioned from the doorway. "How are you feeling now, hope you are much better?" She asked sadly. The girl looked sad, she looked pale and unhappy. There was something bothering her and she was sure to find out soon.
"I am fine my dear, how are you?" She asked Aaliyah.
"Well everything hasn't been the same without you but we thank Allah." She replied with a small smile.
"Aunty!!" Kydah squealed.
"How's my little princess doing?" She asked scooping the girl in her arms.
"I am fine aunty I heard that you were sick, may Allah grant you shifaa." She said giggling.
"Aameen aameen my angel." Habeebah grinned.
"Mommy I missed you too, I have a lot of stories for you." Kydah told Humairah.
"Is that so?" Humairah asked smiling.
"Don't you have any stories for me?" Suhaib asked wiggling his brows at Kydah.
"No!" She replied sharply making him gasp.
