Farida's POV

"The henna looks so beautiful on your hands though you refused to allow the designer to finish her work " Yusrah declared, looking at my hands .

"Yusrah you know that I'm allergic to it though she has assured me that this one is chemical free ,but still i just can't take the risk and allow her to design the entire hands with it, i like it little like this" i said admiring my hands

"Princess you are the most simplest bride i have seen" Laila teased

"I know right " I replied

"Ha'ah ! Someone has been calling me with a private number fa since" I announced looking at my phone's screen

"Pick it then" said Laila

"No she shouldn't " Yusrah cautioned

"You two are just a set of scary cats, will she die if she picks the call?" Laila asked

"Okay, okay! Let me pick " i said answering the call

"Hello farida I'm glad you picked the call" Said a man over the phone

"Who am I speaking to please?" I asked

"It's me Ahmed , Bilal's cousin " He announced

"I beg you in the mighty name of Allah , Don't hang up on me. it's a matter of life and death " He informed me

"What's wrong? Look Mr , I'm not in the mood for your cousin's games please! I said I'm now married , don't you get it ?" I asked sounding very rude

"He is really sick , you have to believe me please " He said calmly, arousing pity

"Okay what do you want me to do now? Am I doctor? Or a herbalist?" I asked

"Who's on the phone " Yusrah asked touching my arms

"Shhshh" i murmured placing my index finger on my lips

"I just want to put the phone on speaker now so that you can talk to him yourself, i told him you got married , He didn't take the news quite well , infact he doesn't believe me" Ahmed announced

"Alright then" i agreed

"My princess " A weak voice called out

"Pardon? Look Bilal ,I don't know if it's actually true that you are really sick , But I'm now married not just married ,But happily married please! Good bye . May Allah grant you shifah " i said hanging up

"Who was that?" Yusrah and Laila asked in chorus

"Look at You gossip girls " i said laughing as i narrated all that transpired between me and Bilal's cousin

"It's true fa , He's sick" Laila announced

"Well i just came to know about it last week too from a friend who lives in kaduna ,but I couldn't tell you because you were already having crises with Ashraf " Laila explained.

"Hmm May Allah heal him , But i feel bad for him despite how he treated me in the past. So there was going to be a day like this? A day that Bilal would love me and I wouldn't love him back?" I asked

"That's karma for you darling " Laila winked

"You have to get ready for the kamu event in 3 hours time fa" Laila said

"I know, but please i want to take a nap " i said yawning

"Hmm looks like someone didn't sleep at all last night " Laila winked

"You were with Ashraf, you came into the room past 12:00pm yesterday, Don't you dare deny that" Laila said

"You guys should ask your friend properly " Aadila said removing her headphone
