YUMNAH
I woke up early the next morning. Yareema was not there. I had my bath and came out. I prepared breakfast and sat it the sitting room waiting for him to come back. I picked my pocket Quran and started reading some verses. Someone knocked on the door and I stood up. I went and opened the door. I saw that it was ladi and co. “Ah sannun ku da zuwa” I said after we exchanged pleasantries. They come in and set to work immediately and I continued reciting while they were working.
    They finished and left while yareema did not return. I wanted to call him but he left his phone at home. I switched on the tv and sat down just to reduce time.
     I heard another knock and I stood up to open it. I wore my hijab and niqab. I looked through the eye piece and I saw two women. One was hajiya’s slave and the other one I don’t know. “Assalamu alaikum” lubna said and bowed respectively while the other lady was just smiling behind her. I answered the salam and ushered them in. “No ma’am I was sent to escort her” lubna said and left.
     The lady entered without saying anything. I refused to remove my hijab and niqab. I went to the kitchen and served some fruits “welcome” I said. She looked much more older than me. “Thanks” she replied I wanted to ask her who she was but I kept quiet.
    “I know you are wondering who I am. Aren’t you?” She asked with a qualitative Fulani accent. “Yes” I replied. “I am zaynab, the wife to his cousin aryan” she said “but I am called nadeerah” she added. “oh he never told me about you” I said because I have nothing else to say.“Please excuse me” she said when her phone rang. She stoop up to answer the call. That was when my tummy rumbled. I remembered I didn’t have breakfast. Where could yareema be?. “...ka, a kawo su...” I heard her saying and she hanged the call. She came back and sat down. We continued discussing things for like five minutes. The door bell rang and I rolled my eyes. I was tired of going and coming just to open and close the door. I hated the idea which yareema introduced. He wanted us to be alone so he banned any maid from staying in our part. I stood up to open the door after keeping the throw pillow down. “Let me get it. It’s my children” she said and went to the door. My heart skipped a bit at the thought of having kids.
    “Daa, we want to see her. Where is she?..” I heard a cute voice saying. “Be patient” the mum replied and they come to where I was. The greeted me respectively. They were so adorable and so cute. Two boys and a girl. I removed my niqab. “Introduce yourselves to adda” the Mum said “my name is yasmeen” the youngest one with the cute voice said said. I opened my arms wide open and she embraced them. I gave her a tight hug. She looked like a 5 year old which I guess she is. “What of you?” I asked the boy sitting next to the mum. He looked away shyly. He looked like a 10yrs..” don’t mind nawaz. He is usually shy” the mun said and I laughed a little. The oldest son looked at me amazed. He looks 15yrs old. “ I am Sudais and nice to meet you” he said and looked down. “ where are your manners?” His mum said giving him a death look. “Ana asif (I’m sorry)” he said and we both allowed it. We stayed a little longer then they stood up and left. Yareema was not yet back so I went ahead and ate my breakfast alone.
     
      FADEEL
Like lightening, I just woke up in the middle of the night. I couldn’t sleep, I looked to my right and saw her sleeping peacefully with one of my arms beneath her. I used my other hand to pick my phone. I saw many messages but the one I wanted to read first was that from afnan. It reads; Salam, tomorrow being 28th august is yaseer and yumna’s birthday. We want to give them a surprise birthday party. They usually forgot their birthday. Bye see you tomorrow.
     I waited for the adhan before having my bath. I quickly left to house to prepare for their surprise, especially my yumna. By 7:00am everything was ready. I drove to their (yumna’s) house and entered. Everywhere was quiet. I stayed in the car waiting for someone to come out. After like five minutes I saw Yaseer coming out of the house. “Ah yareema what brought you here early in the morning” he asked after we greeted each other. “ I come to see afnan” I said and he looked at me surprised. “Okay” he said and we went inside. I sat down in the sitting room and waited for him to call her. She came down minutes after in royal red gown. “Good morning yareema” she greeted. I returned the greeting and left the house after meeting ammi. She kept chatting away with her phone. We arrived at the boutique and we went inside. “Get the very best you can” I said looking at the outfits. “Okay” she replied and started choosing. I went out because I trusted her. We finished everything and went to their house. I dropped her off and headed back home.
