Kano, Nigeria... 10:05am
Ummu heard the news that her children are coming home in the next day. She was very happy about it but also sad that Amaan isn't coming home with them because she was told by Amaani that Amaan would come back by new year after completing his masters degree.

Ummu informed Abbu about their children's return from England, Abbu was very happy and couldn't wait to see his beloved Amaani. Ummu called Mummy and informed her while Mummy told her that she was told since morning by the children and had the intentions of calling Ummu but she got carried away by something else.

Mummy wasn't happy that Amaan isn't coming home with them but she promised him that she would go to his graduation by next year, Ummu was very happy and also said that if she got the chance, she would follow Mummy or rather allow Mummy to go alone and represent her.

Ummu started preparing for their children's return and promised to prepare Amaani's favorite dish on their returning day. Ummu ordered Larai to go clean up Amaani's room and bathroom. The house was busy.

Amaani informed Ahmad of their return and Ahmad was very happy infact more than happy to see his beloved once more. Amaani too was very happy to see her beloved husband to be. They couldn't wait to see each other once again.
After jubilating, Amaani asked Ahmad what he wants as a gift but Ahmad told her to buy whatever she thinks is best for him, Amaani smiled and promised to buy something that will make him happy and something that will always remind him of her.
Amaani told Ahmad that they would be going for shopping so she has to go now, they said goodbye and hang up.

Amal too seek Amaani's advice whether she should buy gifts for Farhan or not, Amaani told her to buy something good for him and Amal was very happy.

They all got ready for the shopping in their winter outfits and they all looked good.

On their way, Amaani saw a bank alert which shows an amount of evening transferred to her account by Ahmad Sadik, Amaani was more than happy, so she quickly called her baby and thanked him, he was happy to make her happy.

In some time, they were at Bicester Village,   Bicester Village is a place to more than 160 boutiques of British and international fashion and lifestyle brands including Alexander McQueen, Balenciaga, Bottega Veneta, Breitling, Burberry, Dior, Gucci, Manolo Blahnik, Prada, Smythson, Stella McCartney and Valentino.

Amaani and Amal entered the Balenciaga store which was one of Ahmad's favorite designer product, Amaani was astound by how the shop is and the products, she picked a Balenciaga handbag and shoe for Ummu, an office briefcase and a covered shoe for Abbu, a sneakers for herself and her boyfriend and other items for herself. Amal too picked some things for herself, her parents and her boyfriend. They paid the money through their bank account and then entered other shops to buy other things for themselves, family and friends.

Ayman, Amaan and Laila were done shopping and were waiting for Amaani and Amal, soon they saw them coming with big shopping bags, they were all surprised and wondered what they are gonna use all those things for but instead of asking them, Amaan adviced that they buy a box which would contain all those things they bought without separating them in different shopping bags.
"I suggest that you go back to one of the shops and buy a trunk there, here use my ATM card" Amaan passed his ATM card to Amaani but she refused to collect it, she told him that she has enough money to buy it. Amaan's mind wasn't at rest wondering how Amaani got such amount of money she used in shopping and also didn't allow him to give her another money to buy a trunk, he kept thinking about it but at the end made up his mind that he would ask her where she got such money even though Abbu sent some to her a day before the shopping.
Amaani quickly entered Dior shop and bought a trunk which would contain all the items they bought along with Laila's own. She came out pushing the trunk which was  black and classy in colour, Amaan was still deep in thoughts when Amaani came back. She stood beside him and pinched his arms which brought him back to his senses.
"Ya Amaan what were you thinking of?? Hope everything is okay?" Amaani asked.
