OUR DESTINY

part 7

Zakiya P.O.V

I never thought I was going to see my love again but I did see him and I was overwhelmed with joy we haven't seen each other for some few months now since after our last conversation I do miss him seeing him around and his sweet voice we greeted each other without wasting more time before umma will notice so I left to halima's room we talked for a while about the wedding preparations and I promised her that I will come over a week to her wedding she was so excited and happy we ate together while remembering our school memories with old friends hmm how time flies nobody knows just then her phone rang and it was saleem he wanted to talk to me since I no longer pick his calls or reply back to his messages he picked and with his calm sexy voice he asked when I will be leaving I said after isha prayer he said ok will you please allow me to drop you home I wanted to decline but we needed to see and talk so I agreed after isha I came outside together with halima and he was outside the gate waiting we said our goodnight and there he was looking so masha Allah in his white kaftan and bukar zana to say he looked more than handsome as my sweet gentleman he opened up the car door and there was an awkward feeling between us I wanted to talk but where to I even start from so I waited for him to break the silence because I believe he wouldn't be able to hold it long.

If only to say things worked out then we would have been husband and wife by now maybe heading back home together or going somewhere but Allah knows best and I have left all my worries and affairs in his hand I prayed for the best and I believe he will guide me through it, after reaching close to our house he parked his car faced me and say something that even made me feel guilty of ghosting him I shouldn't have done that since it wasn't his fault so why blame him for it so instead of arguing over it I apologized to him and he was happy with me giving us a chance one more time there's  no haram in trying as long as you believe and have faith in Allah and that's what we will do pray hard help ourselves and keep waiting for the right time who knows maybe it will be soon enough Allah knows best.

Halima's P.O.V

I was so delighted seeing yaya together with zakiya my sweet baby since after the incident I don't know why umma did what she did and she doesn't even want to listen or take any advice for that matter she's so stubborn all we can do its put eyes on her and let her do whatever pleases her I know for sure baba is left with no other option if not he won't let her do as she wants I tried talking to them both but no one seems to even listen talkless of trying to understand the situation their putting those two innocent hearts into but Allah knows what is best for them and I believe when it's time for them to be together nothing will stop it or even changed it seeing its only a month to my wedding I called bash sister shamsiya about the kayan biki that I was going to wear since they're the one making it I have already talk to zakiya about the clothes to wear for each event so I told them in time so they could book for the appointment in time with the cicada the Queen of saki zakiya suggested that i wear blue and red saki for the wankin amarya since after the wankin amarya at night am going to wear anka so it was settle that the bridesmaids should wear dark blue saki while for the dinner I was going to wear red gown while the bridesmaids wear black material and for the walima I will wear lafaya golden and white and for the daurin aure I was going to wear lace of my choice I feel so nervous of how my own mother in_law its going to treat me even though she always call me her daughter but u never know what to expect but I always keep praying for the best.

Saleem P.O.V
After dropping my beautiful angel to her house I went back home with so much joy and happiness in my heart just seeing her made my day and knowing that she isn't going to give up on me all made things easier for me I really love her so much that I don't know what I would do without her I can't even imagine my life without her by my side she's my soulmate how I wish umma can just accept her for own sake but she doesn't even like me talkless of doing something for my own happiness I don't know what I have done wrong to her so far  I have always been respectful caring loving and I faithful both my duties honestly and sincerely as a son and big brother also but she doesn't seems to appreciate any and me being her first son for that Matter sometimes i doubt if am even a part of this family but I kept telling myself to stop overthinking and just let things work out by himself I know if she's in my destiny not even umma will be able to separate us but I will have to talk to baba if there's something that am supposed to know then its better if I know it sooner than later I see no reason why he will let umma overpower him with his decision making even though his the man of the house and all decision are supposed to be made by him and we're to follow behind as long as it doesn't go against the sunnah of our prophet s.A.W and am not committing any big sin instead am trying to complete half of my Deen am trying to follow the sunnah of our prophet but baba is not even being supportive here I mean if his not against it then why can't just make umma understand that.

But maybe there's something that they don't want me to know and if what am thinking its true then I won't be left with any option other than to go see my uncle in sokoto and have this conversation with him if there's something good behind her denial of zakiya then I will let zakiya go forever with the hope that if she's mine then nothing will separate us but if her reason isn't good enough for her to dislike her then am going ahead with the marriage with or without her permission I pray Allah sees me through and guide me through the right path.

Shamsiya P.O.V

Yaya's wedding it's just a month ahead and we're even yet to make the bridal wears for halima I was thinking through when her call came through such a relief and she mentioned all the things she will need for the wedding event so I called yaya and aunty nabela  we talk about the expenses to be spent and wether we should fly to Abuja or just made the appointment and send in her measurements its easier that way but also I wouldn't want to make any mistakes so to avoid such situations we booked a ticket flight for me and aunty nabela with fadila my step sister yaya bash wanted to tag along but mumy said no she shouldn't go with us there's won't be anyone at home to help with the preparation and all and most importantly she will needs him around for the wedding guests list that will be flying to Abuja with them since some will be going by road, wedding can be really stressful but after yaya's wedding we won't have any other wedding again expect mine and me being the bride won't be so hard for them to handle but am really so happy to meet halima she's really sweet and nice most importantly she's so respectful am just a year older than her but she respect me so much like am even 3 or 4 years older than her and the way she treats mumy hmm it's rare to see and yaya his lucky to find someone like her even though she belongs to a rich family she behaved like she's from poor backgrounds which I really admire about her may Allah see us through it and may they have a successful marriage life that's all we can pray for.
