Twisted: A Hausa Love Story.

**The Plus One**

SORRY for the typos I didn't have time to edit because I wanted to publish it as soon as possible!

9 Months Later!

She turns, I lie there looking at her.
I couldn't sleep and the first thing I saw when I woke up was her face.

I've never been so grateful for anything like this in my life and all this happened because I didn't give up, not even when she openly rejected me and now I have the most beautiful wife and I'm about to be a father to a handsome boy.

"It's creepy" she says with her eyes still closed.

"You're awake?"
"You know I have to wake up Everytime I turn in bed" she says back opening her eyes and smiling at me.

"Really? So you can't go back to sleep?"
She nods.

"Okay. I think I know what can help"

She raises her eyebrows.

I scoot closer and put my arms around her.
"Is this better?" I ask.
"It is, so don't take them off me".

"Yes ma. Don't worry I'll never let go"
She smiles and closes her eyes.

.............
Afrar's  POV.

"No. I don't want to" Marwan days for the 10th time.

They want him to fly out at work, apparently he has been declining travelling out for some surgeries for 3years now and they said if he declines one more time they will let him go and as his partner I can't let that happen, he has given up so much and done alot to get to where he is, I can't let him lose all that.

"It's just a week"
"But you're due in two weeks, what if it happens earlier than that? What am I supposed to do?"

"Don't worry it won't, inshallah. Please just go".
"I'll be going to my father's house tomorrow anyway. My aunt, masina, Abba and Mayriam will all be there. You can drop me off. Please just go".

I have been begging him all day but he can really be stubborn.
"Please?"

He stays quiet and just looks at me "Promise you'll call me immediately if anything ever happens".

"I will" I hug me "It's what you like doing the most at least this way you can keep saying no for another three years".

"Uh huh".

..............

"Just Park outside" I tell him.
" I can't leave my wife with her luggage on the street in front of their house, that's just inhumane".

"Jafar and Masina are already outside you don't have to worry about that".

"Nah".
He looks at Jafar and Masina who were looking at him like he was insane. He kept insisting on going in and I know when he does he will keep wasting time until he probably misses his flight.

"You can go fah, for real" Masina says.
I know I wasn't making things easy by holding his hands.

I hug him "Pray before you get on the plane"

Masina pulls me gently.
"Bye" he says before I close the gate.

"You two look like you're not seeing each other for a long time. Is he off to war neh?" Jafar asks.

"You've never loved anyone you wouldn't know" I say with a frown

"Calm down, she's pregnant so don't piss her off" Masina jokes.

I pull my hand away, why would they be saying stuff like that.

..

I haven't been in my room for a long time but its still the same way I left it.
