Abdullah...
After dropping Zarah off at home, I returned to the hotel where we were staying. "She's really nice and friendly," I thought, smiling. "She made me laugh." When I glanced at her phone, I noticed she had saved my number as "Crush." "I usually don't trust people easily," but she seemed calm and stubborn in a good way."

I changed into comfortable clothes, closed my eyes, and fell into a deep slumber, forgetting to call Asma. I woke up to the sound of noise filling the room. "Wake up! You just disappeared without informing me, and we were searching for you like crazy!" a voice scolded. "

We'll talk tomorrow, please," I muttered, closing my eyes again, trying to escape the confrontation.

Since we woke up for Fajr prayer, we didn't return to sleep - something I'd never done before. Typically, after praying Fajr and returning from the masjid, I'd recite the Quran and then go back to sleep. But today is different; it's the wedding Fatiha, and I am returning to Abuja later. My phone shrilled, and I walked towards the balcony to pick up the call.

Hey, babe!" I exclaimed, answering the phone. But she didn't say anything, and I know she's mad at me.

I'm so sorry, Asma. You called me yesterday, and I haven't picked up any of your calls, nor have I had the chance to call you back. I was in the hall when you called." I apologized, trying to make amends. "God, I never lie, and it doesn't fit me at all.

It's okay, I'm just worried you aren't picking up my calls. How's the wedding?" she asked, her tone softening. "

Alhamdulillah... how are you doing?"

Fine, but I missed your voice yesterday."

Really?!" I replied, "I missed yours a lot too."

She laughs, "I hope no one got your attention yesterday."

"Of course not," I said. "But there's a girl who caught my attention yesterday, but I didn't like her in that way. She's just really nice and friendly."

There's silence on the other end of the line. "Anyway," I said, trying to change the subject, "what did you do yesterday?"

We chatted for an hour before hanging up. I dialed Sufyan's number, and he picked up after three rings.

"Huh, someone is missing me so badly?"

"You aren't serious; me miss you, my foot!" "

So tell me, I called Ummi some days back when you landed in Nigeria, and she told me that you've been crying to her about missing me... you just can't live without me..."

I let out a laughter, "You're not serious,

bro!" "So, what's up? How's Kd?" "

Fine, bro, how are you coping there?" "Hope everything is alright..."

Yeah, everything's Alhamdulillah fine, but I've missed you ."

I laugh says the person who said I miss him you spill out the truth...I gotta go chat up later...

With that I went and took bath...then slip into my ash kaftan..
*************

After the Zuhr prayer, around 1:30, the wedding ceremony came to a close. I congratulated the happy couple, and then Sufyan and I headed back to Abuja. The next day, I returned to school, and everything is going smoothly. Our final year exams are approaching, scheduled for the following month, God willing.

My relationship with Asma is  thriving. Sufyan and I sat on the bed, engrossed in our phones. He chatted, while I played FIFA.

Sufyan tossed a pillow at me. "Turn off the sound; it's disturbing me."

I raised my middle finger, silently dismissing him.

"Abdullah, please, the sound is really bothering me.

What do you want to do?" I  asked.

"I want to make a video call," he  replied.

"What does my sound have to do with your call? I won't turn it off."

He moved to the sofa, started his call, and I continued gaming.

Later, scrolling through Instagram, I saw Zarah Tukur's new post.

"God, I forget about her!" "Since that night, I told Asma about her, followed her back, and forgot."
Her picture showed her with a friend; I barely recognized her. But her story caught my attention.

"The person you love the most will hurt you the most." That caught my attention, and I sent her a message through DM, "Who hurt my beautiful zarah and made her sad?"🥺
