YUMNA
"Wake up sleepy head" rukayya said waking me, i didn't know when i shouted and hugged her .
"Be careful! Don't hit him" she said referring to my baby who was peacefully sleeping beside me.
"When did you arrive?" I asked, handing my baby to her.
"Just now"
"Where is alisha?"
"With Zayad and yazid"
"So you guys all came" i asjed yawning
"Ofcourse, have you forgotten that today is your child's naming ceremony?" She shouted into my ears.
I nodded and stood up. I went to the bathroom and had a bath. It was seven days, to be exact after the birth of my baby.
I met rukayya already on her way out with my baby who has been dressed too. On the bed was a gown, royal blue in colour, i bet it was hajiya’s doing so i wore it to avoid her anger.
As soon as i was ready, some hand maidens entered, and escorted me to the main compound where everyone was waiting for me. Cheers and all were coming from different angles.
I sat beside hajiya who was holding my child. I saw nadeera( aryan's wife) sitting at an angle. I smiled, remembering what her husband made me. It's just sad she has to suffer for her husband's mischief.
The royal emissary soon arrived admist joy and songs. Yareema was in the middle of them all, all dressed up in traditional attire which fitted him perfectly.
"Greetings to the royal mothers" the flag bearer greeted.
"Greetings accepted " the jakadiya replied and handed my baby to me. I cuddled him to my chest, enjoying his baby scent.
"His majesty, has sent us here to deliver his goodwill message and to announce the name of our prince.
"His name, as said by his royal highness is......" he said and let his voice trail off.
The emissary divided into two and yareema appeared fully. Everyone was silent, waiting to heqr the name, especially me, i just peayed that the name won't be that bad.
"Uthman bin Muhammad fadlullah bin Abubakar bin uthman" yareema said qnd disappeared vack into the crowd behind him.
The moment they left, the guda commenced and the kidan kwarya too. I looked at my baby, who now has a name.
"Uthman, what a beautiful name" i said more to myself but hajiya and ammi heard. They both gave me an icy stare. It was then i remembered that it was forbidden to call a first child by his name especially one named after a king.
After sometime, i left them and entered hajiya’s parlour, rukayya and the rest where already there.
"Ummu usman" Aisha nabeela said as she took him from my hands.
"So what did you decide as his nickname?" She asked as I sank helplessly on the sofa.
"I don't know yet. Yareema is still deciding " i replied
"Gosh, I'm so tired " i said
"Ha! 🤣, this is just the beginning my dear" rukayya laughed.
My baby started crying but I ignored him coux nabeela was holding him.
"Ke, take your cry cry baby. I cant handle him" she said and the rest laughed. I took him and kept him beside me. My phone slipped into his shawl. I yawned and before long, I slept, not minding the commotion outside.FADEEL....
My mouth was beginning to itch during to the constant smile plastered on my face. I sat beside baba receiving blessings and congratulatory messages from elders. I excused myself from them and went back to hajiya’s part to rest for a while before some more guests arrive. I saw nadeera, aryan's wife, leaving the part in a hurry, i just pitied the way her husband messed up her life.
The part was so noisy so i used the private door. WOMEN! I wonder when they will ever be quiet at a gathering. I saw yumna sleeping on the sofa, in hajiya’s private living room. She was alone so I went to her.
"Noorie, wake up" i said shaking her.
"Uhmm" she muttered and turned to the other side.
She finally opened her eyes and sat up. I sat beside her and kept my head on her shoulder.
"What is is?" She asked
"Just wanted to see you and my baby" I said.
" i guess he is with rukayya. Let me go get him" she said and left to join the other women.
It was getting to 20 minutes since she went to get him and she still was not back, I was just wondering what kept her from coming back.
"Ya Allah!!" I heard yumna shouting before it turned into a cry and my heart sank a bit. For a moment, I was still. I stormed to where she was and found her surrounded by my mum and sisters. She was in the middle crying.
"What is going on here?" No one opened up to me so i held yumna’s hand and took her to our room.
"Calm down noorie, what is wrong?"
"I.......My.....we can't find him anywhere.... Someone has taken him away from me" she managed to say in-between sobs.
I then realised what was wrong, my baby was missing. I couldn't think properly, before i knew it, yumna ran towards the door. I quickly caught up with her and held her tight. I brought her back to the bed and sat her down.
"Calm down please" i said trying to comfort her.
"How can you tell me to calm down?I just lost my child and you are telling me to calm down!#$% I see though 😕 you don't care about him" she started bombarding me. I remained silent coux i didn't want to mess up things with her.
" look , I do care about him, he is my child too, just listen to me" i said but she did not reply. She just let her face fall to her palm and continue sobbing. I suddenly remembered nadeera as she came rushing out of the part moments ago.
" do you think anyone has something against you?" I asked but she remained silent. I asked again and still got the same treatment.
"Fine then, don't say a word to me. Have fun looking for him " i said and stormed out of the part before i loose my temper on her.
After all, i will make more children in the future though i will miss him.
I went back to our part which has been abandoned for almost three months now. I entered and found it clean, prior to my expectation. I locked the part and went to my room to calm myself down.
