Destined to be

Chapter Thirty Four

It was a beautiful Saturday morning and also the day Ahmad's parents planned on going to Abuja to meet Ihsan's parents, Mama and Baba got ready and called Ahmad in order to say goodbye to him,Ahmad came out of his room with a puffy eyes which means he didn't sleep last night,Mama noticed it and Baba also but they both kept quiet,Ahmad and Firdausi accompanied them to the parking lot where the driver was waiting for their parents in the car,Mama and Baba entered and said goodbye to the children before they drove out of the house to the airport. Ahmad turned to depart only to see Firdausi staring at him in a way full of care,worry and love,he walked to where she was standing in the veranda leaning towards the stainless steel,he didn't utter anything but only stared at her eyes which were full of help,Firdausi in her beautiful and cute voice greeted Ahmad and he answered her back politely,she then looked at him and said; Bro may I help you? Ahmad asked; with?? Regarding the situation you're in, Firdausi uttered,Ahmad smiled and wrapped his arms around her shoulder,like that they walked into the house but before they sat down, Firdausi suggested that they should eat first and Ahmad agreed,he also added that she should bring something light for him, Firdausi answered and walked to the kitchen where she prepared some hot chocolate for the two of them and warmed some pancakes in the microwave for them,she arranged everything in the tray and walked to parlour,kept the tray on the center table and sat beside her brother who was on a call,he finished the call and she understood that it was Amaani from the way he was talking,deep down inside her she was praying that Ihsan's parents won't agree with the decision they'll talk about today,she passed the hot chocolate to her brother and indicated him to dig in the pancake,so they did,they ate silently and after eating they thanked Allah before Firdausi started talking,she said to her brother in a gentle and soft voice; Ahmad what are your thoughts on this issue?? Ahmad smirked and said; Firdaus,I no more have thoughts about this,all I'm doing now is prayers,I know that i would not have any problem with Ihsan but how do I come up with this to Amaani? She'll be very difficult to deal with concerning this situation, she'll start giving me attitudes and tantrums, Amaani will surely change and at the end might not agree to this because she is a jealous person and hard to deal with when it comes to jealousy,He smiled and continued,when she starts her tantrums only me can deal with her because I know how to handle her, Amaani is amazing and lovely though and I love her so much and I pray that she'll be my wife inshaALLAH because I'll enjoy being with her in my life,she's easy going, religious, decent, shy,obedient and all the qualities a decent Hausa fulani girl could have,Amaani is indeed a wife material,I don't want to risk having her as a wife because I would feel jealous if someone gets her not me,I feel like I'm the only one that can treat her right,He paused and continued after breathing in and out, Firdaus do you know what?? Firdausi nodded,he continued....As we are making our plans Allah is making his and his is the best of all,he knows the reason for everything,some people come into your lives as lessons and in order for us to have experience,Firdausi we don't know if what we love is wrong for us and what we hate is best for us and if Allah has written something to be yours,it will be yours,time might be different, the journey might be different but it will come to you,all we need to do right now in the middle of this burning hut is to continue praying, Firdausi swallowed a big lump in her throat, squeezed her eyes and bit her lower lips and said in a sighful voice; Ahmad I gat you,you're indeed in a twisted and awkward situation and may Allah solve it for us all and she added; Ahmad know that Allah has a plan, no matter how hard and rough life seems to be right now,trust him enough to bring you through it and also know that prayer is the key and they are also silent battles known to us alone and Allah,may you pass this test from Allah,they chorused Ameen.

They finished everything on the table and their house maid cleared everything on the table,they were both using their phones when Ahmad's phone started ringing,he stood up when he saw the caller ID,his heart stopped beating but started racing,he started having cold sweats and he cleared his voice and stammered; He..he..helloooo,yes have you guys arrived or you are done yet??
