Lovable Zainab

chapter 35

Chapter 35

Zainab's POV.

Through out the ride back to Yusuf's parents house I had my head down and refused to look up. I couldn't look up, the guy just kissed me not long ago and in where I come from kissing someone when you are not married to them is a big deal. Why did I even allow him to it in the first place?

It was sudden and I didn't see it coming. I should really stop thinking about this and be asking Allah for forgiveness. Astagfirullah!

"We are here." He announced and for the first time after the kiss I looked at him when our eyes met I looked away embarrassed.

I stared at the house not because I was awed by the building but because it looks familiar. Sure the house is huge. It's a  two storey building  and  it's beautiful and so familiar. I've been here before.

"The door is this way."

I forgot that Yusuf was around.

"Let me get my bag." I said to myself. I didn't want to talk to him first he lied about being in love with someone else that wasn't enough he had to kiss me on top.

I searched for my bag but it was already in his hand with the poly bag I brought.

"Seriously though this is all you brought?" He asked unbelieving.

I didn't answer him. How can he talk to me without stuttering? Is he shameless? He isn't even looking remorseful. How is he living with himself after kissing a non mehram?

"I'm sorry Zainab please talk to me."  He sounded like he was finding it funny.

I didn't answer. He smiled and stalk towards me I tried walking away and no he didn't pin me to wall that would have been better, but instead I trip and landed on my butt. Another embarrassment.

He laughed at me. Of course he found it funny. I'm so angry at him.

"Ya Allah what are you doing on the floor." A woman wearing an Ankara gown asked as she came towards us.

"I fell." I answered shyly because I just realized she is Yusuf mother. She help me up.

"And you are laughing at her." She scolded and hit Yusuf twice.

"Mummy." He whined "it's not my fault"

It's his fault. If he didn't try coming close to me I won't have tried to back away and fall. Just look at him whining like a baby.

"Why didn't you help her up?" His mom demanded looking furious

"Good evening ma." I greeted awkwardly.

"Welcome dear sorry that the ground had to welcome you first." She joked.

"It's no problem ma."

"Let's get you inside you must be tired. Yusuf will take you to your room."

We entered inside where I met strange faces. All look similar to each other. Two male and a female who I recognize to be Yusuf elder Sister Nusaiba who I was  fortunate enough to have been briefly acquainted with. From a distance I saw a oddly Lady who look so familiar.

"Zainab meet my other children this is Sultan he's my eldest child." Hajiya Fauziya Yusuf's mother introduced.

"Good evening sir."

"Welcome dear. I hope you enjoy your stay." He gave me a smile.

"And this is Khalil my second child and the lady over there is his wife Maimuna"  the introduction continued.
