Life with Love✓

Chapter 20

Hauwa's POV

"Get up, get up,"Babes shook me repeatedly. "There's a fire downstairs, we need to leave quickly."he still shook me.

I jerked up with my heart pounding hard.
"What are we waiting for then?"I sled on  my slippers then ran out of the room with Yaseer beside me.
I had never ran so hard before, I even tripped on the stairs, but I didn't care, my life matters.
We ran through the hallway, then passed the back door which led to the backyard.
I didn't see any fire though, but I smelt some, so that assured me that there was a fire.
As we got to the backyard, a huge 'Happy 20th birthday' was heard as a bucket of water was poured over my body from above.
At first I was in shock.
Where was the fire?

"Happy birthday baby girl,"Yaseer cupped my face in his warm hand then kissed my forehead.
"I love you so much."he hugged me as he wrapped his hands around my waist nearly touching my butt and I did hug him back.
Soon I started to see those who were  there, Safiya, Amar, My mum, Babes mum, Layla and few more people I couldn't recognize.
"I love you too babes."I bit my lower lip while smiling, that was actually an habit I had formed recently.
Babes took me to one of the swings in the backyard, it was beautifully decorated with colorful ribbons,cute balloons that read 'happy birthday', Jasmine and roses, and also cushions.
I was so excited.
I received loads of presents, most of them were from my babes, my rabin rai, my soulmate, my darling husband.
After all the gifts, I cut the cake.
It was made with my favorite flavor, chocolate!!!
Chocolate was life, if you hate chocolates, sorry to say but you are missing a lot.
I got the biggest slices of all, but I still kept on nibbling on Yaseer's slice, it just tasted great and better when it was his.

Few games were played, I made babes dance even if he didn't want to, he was really bad at dancing.
I went to freshen up then took Amazing pictures, wearing different dresses...
We ate and drank, then finally the party ended and everyone left.
Yaseer's cousin was the last to leave.
"Baby, I got this for you."Amar handed me a charm bracelet which had the initials A&H.
Yaseer had gone to escort my mum and his mum.
I reluctantly collected the bracelet and ran my fingers through the letters.
He helped me put it on then kissed the back of my hand.
"Happy birthday baby."he placed one hand on my hair and the other on my cheek.
I just smiled and walked into the house.
After everyone had left, My babes and I went back to the backyard.
We laid on the grasses with cool breeze sweeping by our feet and us staring at the stars and moon.
They were so beautiful.
"Have I ever told you how I got this slit on my brow."Yaseer turned his head to me with his hands at the back of his head.
"No, I don't think so."I kept connecting the stars to form a shape or animal.
"Okay, then I'm going to tell you exactly what happened,"he changed his position to laying on his stomach. "I think I was at the age of twelve or thirteen, this is one of the days I don't think I can ever forget, I was really strong headed, I wouldn't listen to instructions, if I was told to do something right I'd do the opposite, so on this faithful day, I asked for my mother's permission to go hangout with my friends, but she said no, I begged her so much, but she still said no, and then in my mind I was like 'how will my friends hangout and I wouldn't join', so I escaped few minutes to our hangout time and went to our meeting point, we planned we'll go to play PS at a cyber cafe with the money we had saved."Yaseer exhaled as he sat up and faced me who was still laying down.
"Not known to me that one of our neighbors, back then I called her Amebo(poke noser) neighbor had seen when I snoke out of the house, she phoned my mum and told her we were going to a cyber cafe down the street, that was how my mum drove to the cafe with a cane in hand, she chased me out of the cafe, then got into her car, I was running for my dear life, coz I knew if she got hold of me, I'd have been hospitalized, I ran with her chasing behind me with her car,"I started to laugh.
"I ran and ran until I slipped on wet and slippery grasses, I tried to maintain balance, but low and behold I sled into a big tree after which I landed on the concrete flower bed making me have a really deep cut, blood was gushing every where, then my mom quickly rushed me to the hospital where I got stitches sewn, and that is the story of this slit."he ended it with a smile.
"Did your mum beat you afterwards?"I held my laughs.
"Nah, she didn't, all she did was cry,"he laughed. "So what lesson did you learn from this?"he inquired.
"That you shouldn't run when you have your mother chasing you with her car,"I just had to laugh and he pulled my nose. "Silly boy."I pulled his ear making him wince.

He just grabbed me and put me on himself.
"Yeah, I'm an handsome Silly boy married to the most beautiful baby girl in the world."he kissed my lips for about eleven seconds.
I just blushed my cheeks out and placed my head on my best pillow ever, his chest.
"I love you."I muttered sleepily.
"I love you more."he kissed my hair and wrapped his arms around me, making me warm.
