His Surrogate Wife

Chapter One: The perfect Candidate

"She's perfect" Najib declared looking at her picture "But are you sure she is Muslim?"

Dr. Aliyu nods opening Fatima's folder "It says here she is twenty years old. Her blood group is A positive and her Genotype is AA. She is perfect for you. She had a baby but it's not in the picture" He looked at his friend waiting for his response but Najib was focused on the Picture in his hand.

She was not smiling but she wasn't frowning either, it was something like a smirk. Her face is not the type that deciphers how she feels and from the way she dressed, He knew she must be from the Northern part of Nigeria.

"Where is she from?"

"That, I don't know. The only thing surrogates need to fill in is their First name, Blood type, genotype age, contact number and a picture of themselves. Their backgrounds are meant to stay anonymous" Dr. Aliyu explained handing him Fatima's folder.

"This is her contact details and this is the best I can do for you. You can contact her in order to meet her and decide"

Najib stands up thanking him and left his office. Walking outside the hospital, he checks the time and realizes he has been with Dr. Aliyu for almost an hour discussing the surrogacy option and he still has to pick his wife up from her friend's house.

He drove into the busy streets of Abuja and went directly to Pick up Zainab before they went back home. Immediately they went inside, Zainab asked the question she has been wanting to ask him the minute they left her friend's house.

"Did you find a surrogate? Did she agree to the marriage?"

Najib nods sitting down on the couch and gestured for her to sit down which she did waiting for him to speak up.

"I have to marry her but the only reason is for her to carry our baby and take care of it till birth" Najib muttered waiting to see if Zainab will back out but the smile she has ever since she heard he found a surrogate didn't flinch from her face for even a second "She will be my second wife and it will be clear to her that she will be acting as a surrogate and not my wife. She is just here for the baby and nothing more and the only reason I will marry her is to have a child the halal way"

"Alhamdullilah" Zainab exclaimed and stood up from where she is sitting down and quickly wrapped her self around Najib whom she caught by surprise "So, How is she? What does she look like? Can I see a picture?Where is she from?Habibi Remember I said only a good looking lady!"

Najib could not resist smiling hearing the joy in her tone as she continued asking him questions . If there's anything wealth can buy or he can do to make his lover happy, then there's no risk he won't take and this is one risk he is willing to take in order to have the perfect family.

"Baby, there's one thing I didn't tell you" He said holding her tight as she sat in between his legs "You can't see or meet her. I don't want anything to go wrong in the future. I will meet her first and talk things out with her before talking to Abba about my second marriage. Whatever happens, it has to be on the low. We will get married the way Islam said but there's nothing more to the marriage than the baby and no one apart from me, Dr.Aliyu, you, her and Allah will know about the truth of the marriage".

She smiles feeling his hands around her body. She has always been thankful to Allah for blessing her with Najib as her life partner because in every single day of her life, he never fails to show her that whatever she or he will do should be done in the right way. Despite growing up without a mother, he has the best manners and his faith is never shaken even when he fell into a bad group of friends during his university days.

"That's okay. But what if Abba requires to meet her parents, will that be possible?" She questioned and He also wondered how he will be able to pull this off without attaching himself to new relations knowing that it will be gone the minute she manages to give birth.
