HER CRUSH

Chapter18

Abdullah..
"Where the hell are you going at this midnight?" Sufyan asked, his voice loud enough to startle me.

"Hey, don't shout, please," I whispered, "I don't want Ummi to know I'm going out now. Please don't tell her..." I trailed off, knowing that Sufyan is a chatterbox.

"I'm going to Zarah's place," I replied, and his eyes widened in surprise.

"Yeah, I definitely know you're crazy; no need to prove it.

"I'm not going to Kaduna; she's here in Abuja and leaving tomorrow morning," I explained, trying to reason with him.

"Did she follow you here?" he asked, his mouth agape. I let out a frustrated hiss, "Fi bed al ahyan la yealma eaqalak bishakl sahih" (Sometimes your brain isn't working correctly).

"You just realized that now?"

Her sister got married, and they brought her to Abuja..."

Tell me the truth, Abdul. Are you in love with her?

How many times will I tell you, no, I'm not in love with her?"

Wallah, you won't go out unless you admit it!"Sufyan persisted, "

"Sufyan, move out of my way, time is running out!" I urged, but he closed the door and leaned against it, a smirk on his face.

"I... I...

Ehen! You...," he said, raising an eyebrow. "Okay, I think I like her..."

He scowled, unsatisfied with my response. "That's not a proper answer, man! I need a straight answer.

When are you going back to Lagos? I'm tired of seeing your ugly face!"

Sufyan chuckled, nice man trying to change the subject, but I am not having it.

"Wallah, you hear me swear, right? You won't go out without admitting your love for her..."

I grudgingly admitted, "Yes, yes, I love her," gritting my teeth. Sufyan burst out laughing, holding his stomach. "What? Sorry, I didn't hear you correctly!"

I gave him a hard punch, snatched the key, and opened the door, ready to leave.

I headed out to the parking lot, slid into my car, and drove off, not before texting Sufyan, knowing he might fall asleep and lock the door. "I just pray he doesn't sleep," putting my phone aside.

The 12-minute drive flew by, and I arrived at her aunt's house. I called Zarah to announce my arrival.

Soon, she emerged, scanning the area. I flashed my headlights and honked, catching her attention.

She walked towards my car, and I unlocked the door, welcoming her in.

"Hey, Zarah!" I exclaimed, gazing at her. She smiled, fidgeting with her fingers.

"I missed you!" I confessed, opening my arms.

"Can I?" I asked, seeking permission.

She nodded, and I enveloped her in a warm hug.

Pulling back, I admired her flushed face, holding her hands.

"How are you?" I asked.

"I'm fine, Alhamdulillah," she replied.

"Your henna looks stunning. Thank you!"

"Do you miss me?" I asked, studying her expression.

"No, not even a little," I feigned hurt, playfully clutching my chest.

"I miss you too," she said, her expression softening.
I was mad because you stopped calling me like you usually do," she pouted.

I apologized, my voice barely above a whisper. "I'm sorry. School and family issues overwhelmed me."
I leaned against the car seat, feeling overwhelmed.
Abba called me about my marriage... I'm lost, Zarah. I told him I'm not ready, but he won't understand. I'm only 26! But Abba won't listen because he hates us."I confessed, desperation creeping in. "I don't know what to do. I can't think straight. If I approach him, Ummi will stop me, and I'm tired of hearing insults about me, Ummi, and my sister. Sufyan stands by me, but even he's backing Ummi now."

Zarah took a deep breath, concern etched on her face.Everything will end soon, Abdul. Keep praying. I don't know your family's situation, but don't overthink; it's not healthy. And when will you share your past with me? I'm eager to hear it."

Our eyes locked,  Do you love me?"

She looked away, and I chuckled.

"Where's my ring?" she asked, her lips pressed together.

"I gave it to Asma," I teased, noticing her mood shift.

She glared, and I laughed. "You get jealous easily! It's safe with me."

"Tell me about your boyfriend," I asked. "Got another one?"

She shake  her head, and I smiled.

"Will you give me a chance to be your suitor?" I asked, witnessing her shock.

"Zarah, I'm serious. Will you give us a chance? Let's be together."My words poured out, sincere and heartfelt.I love you, Zarah! You may not be my first love, but you'll be my last."I love you so much. Will you accept me as your boyfriend? I promise to stand by you through ups and downs, Insha Allah."I searched her face, and her blush deepened.

"Will you let me be your life partner?" I asked, my heart beating anxiously.

Her response hung in the air, suspenseful.
