Our Fate

Chapter 19

It has been two days they fly back to Nigeria and everything has been normal. The couples have been the best thing you could ever imagine or wish for because their ego and pride wasn't enough to overpower their bond, and they let it go. Rahma and Aliyu are not the perfect couples but they're close to perfection because they both apologized when wrong which make every couple perfect and have peace in there home.

Getting up from the bed, she wakes her husband up as it was her normal routine to do so for fajr (early morning prayer) congregational prayer before he missed it and also went to the bathroom and have are ablution before laying her prayer mat and said her prayer. After she was done, she went into the kitchen and make breakfast for her husband before he returns since he usually stays longer after praying.

She prepares pancake with chocolate syrup and arrange it neatly on the dining table and just on clue Aliyu return feeling hungry. He just directly went to the dining table and wait for his wife return.

"Oh, hubby you're back?" She asked, as she serves him and prepares a cup of tea for him.

"Yes, babe! Was hungry already and the aroma wasn't helping either as it makes my stomach grumble." He said and hungrily bite it the pancake.

"Thank you, babe, this is nice and delicious, especially with this syrup. You're a Darling." He complimented.

"And you're a sweetheart" she replies and Aliyu feeds her from his plate.

"Babe! hope you remember Bashir in Minna?" He asked.

"Yes, what about him?" She asked concern.

"They will be coming tomorrow, he and his wife, remember our friend wedding I told you about"

"Yeah this Friday right?"

"Yes. The guy is our friend and also the bride is Bashir, wife cousin sister." He explains.

"Oh that very nice, I wish them happy married life in advance and also I can't wait to have someone here with me at least for the few days." She said happily.

"I'm I not here?"

"Yes hubby you're here but having a visitor is something else and I can't wait. You know I love accommodating people." She said.

"I'm glad love, thank you so much."

"And that reminds me, my cousins want to visit me today including Zain my male cousin, and I hope you don't mind or I can ask him not to come along with them," she said.

"No baby please don't stop anyone, I trust you so much and again you're already my wife. Why should you? His he, not your brother? I will like to meet them too when I return. You know I told you I will be going out later" He said and she nodded before hugged him because is not every husband that will take it lightly having visitors around especially male visiting their wives.

"Mind letting me go shower? Or you wanna join" he smirked and Rahma nodded her head in a No gesture because she knows what that will lead to it in the shower and it will only waste both of them time as it friends were already calling him while she also has cleaning and cooking to do before they arrived.

As soon as he left to the room, she clears the table and washes the dishes before sweeping everywhere and cleaning. Aliyu came out of the room looking so dashing at ever, with his sexy eyes that captivated our dear Rahma. He wore a navy blue short sleeve and faded jeans trouser which suited his body perfectly.

"How did I look baby?" he asked and wrapped his hand around her back.

"You look so gorgeous! my hubby. And I could also not help but to Starr at you in awe!" She exclaims.

"You know you're boosting my head this morning baby," he said and left a slope kiss around her neck.

"Is the fact dear, you look extremely handsome but make sure you stream this bears before returning because I want to crush on you on Friday when you wore your kaftan?" She said and peck him on the cheeks.

"Right! I will do that before returning home then" he said and after a goodbye kiss, he left the house for the first time alone since after marriage. Because he was always at home with his wife and never got tired been around her rather feel more attracted and passionate beside her always, having fun about their childhood memory and secondary school life and higher institutions including their embarrassing moment and everything.

Rahma was done with the cleaning and was already cooking lunch Iwo rice and beans soup, her favourite and bet her husband will enjoy it too just as she put in all her effort.

Her phone buzz and she check the caller ID before picking. "Hello, girls!" She said.

"Ya Rahma we miss you so much wallahi, please when are you coming?" Basma asked.

"Very soon we will, and hey you also haven't visited me since I got married and you expect me to come too?" She asked feigning hurt.

"That not sofa, you know is Abba that is stopping us that we should wait till uncle Aliyu resume work. That way we will even enjoy our stay because he doesn't want us to come and interrupt your uhm uhm"Mardiya feign a cough and Basma join in laughing as the phone was on loud speak with both of them inside the room only.

"You both are not serious. Anyway, we will be coming next week, In sha Allah. I could've even asked you, girls, to follow us but is not possible because we will be going to Kaduna from there, so Mallam Abu have to bring you both" she said.

"Yeah in sha Allah! So Ya Rahma how was Paris" Basma asked giggling over the phone.

"Paris is like another world apart, it is entirely beautiful Basma, I wish you could see the Eiffel Tower in real oh my God! You will scream in happiness and not talk about the romantic dinner on the boat."

"Oh god! Ya Rahma I'm jealous you get to visit it without me, I can't even imagine it in real as you said it. I'm crazy ya Rahma. And the romantic dinner awwnn" Basma giggle and Mardiya chirp in "please I'm getting married this week so I will go to Paris too" she said covering her face.

"These girls ain't marrying for the lifetime but for Paris," Rahma said and they all burst into laughter.

"Girls I have to go, Zainab, Marja and that bighead are coming over today and this already passes one they should be on their way already and I can't have myself face Zain while I haven't bathed, you know he gonna win over. Take care all, I love you!" She said and before she could hang the call she heard their reply "We love you too and also don't break Ya Zain's leg in your house before he left" Mardiya said and Rahma shakes her head doubtfully before finally ending the call.

She set the dining table and also put tularen out everywhere before finally going to have her bath. She emerged out of the bathroom with a towel wrap around her body securely, when her phone buzz and she pick it "Better tell your security man here to let us in before I break his head" Zain warn jokily and hand over the phone to the security man.

After speaking to him, he let them in while she quickly dresses up and meets them already sitting in the living room. Marja was the first to ran into her arm and hugged her." We miss you so much Ya Rahma!" she said after breaking the hug.

"And who said we missed her? Just said you do simple" Zain said and Zainab support.

"I don't blame you and by the way, I never asked you to and you Zainab comment reserve! Support him very well"

"Start! I missed you too so much let me get you something." And she left.

"Be calling someone else to start and you continue nodding your head like that of wizard own to let her husband catch you," Zain said and Zainab burst into a laugh while murja frown her face.

"Ya Zain is you that I pity when her husband come and meet you in his living room," Marja said and tongue out.

"What will he do?" He asked and shrugged nonchalantly.

Rahma returns with a tray containing hibiscus drink and a cup then brought a small table and drop it in front of Marja only.

"Oh so is only Murja that visit you bah?" Zainab asked.

"Yes, because she's the only one that misses me you know. I'm sure she was even the one that drags you guys here."

"Oh, it that so?"

"You're even wasting your time arguing with her when you have leg and hand to take you to the fridge," Zain said and walk to the fridge at the dinning side and brought out a hibiscus drink and pick a cup for himself at the dining table and sat down and enjoy his drink.

"Please who made this?" He asked refilling the cup again.

"Your girlfriend made it" Zainab reply.

"Exactly you get it, babe," Rahma said.

"Please package some for me, even my girlfriend need to taste this" Zain said.

"See this shameless boy! Just said she can't do it and you want her to learn from your dearest sister"

"Oh, Cmon! The crab that who is the dearest sister self, you?" He asked in disbelief.

"Yes take it or leave it and that wife of yours will have to respect me as per her in-law one day."

"Then wait for it, at least I'm not the one you're getting that with, and wait we haven't heard any news yet."

"Which news? They all asked seriously."

"C'mon Zainab you don't also know?" He asked and Zainab realized what he means "Ya Allah ya Zain"

"Please I'm hungry! Or do we have to enter the kitchen again and cook it ourselves?" He asked teasingly.

"I'm not cruel like you, you know and I hope your wife turns out to be like me if not"

"Indeed! Fortunately, she is not. Now lead me to the way or should I serve myself?"

"I serve you? Ai wallahi you won't eat in this house Kenan. Marja, Zainab please come and have your lunch."

"This girl you don't even have respect for your elders again. Anyway, let me eat first before handling your matter." He said and follow the girls to the dining table.

"See who said someone was a miss foodie, it now a verse_Verser right Ya Zain" Murja said sarcastically.

"I will soon knock this your mouth" Zain warn and they laugh.

"Is the truth ai, you're now the Mr foodie here and let me warn you don't even dare finish our store food."

"I trust your husband to buy a new one," he said and began to eat his two rice.

"God! Rahma thank you for this meal, is the best please add another wrap" He compliment and Rahma shake her head before unwrapping another one on his plate. Zain complimenting the food damn everyone will.

"Everyone will complement this food today! Rahma makes sure you pack for him when he's going" Zainab said and they laugh.

"You get it Zainab, I must collect this food home please package it for my fa. That reminds me what about your husband? I haven't seen him?"

"All this while you never ask until now that you're feeding upright?" Murja asked.

"He will soon be back," Rahma said and the door to the living room open with a taslim Aliyu enter in. "His even back!" She said and stood up to meet him.

"Welcome back!" She said and gave him a peck before holding his hand to the dinning."Thank you, babe!"

"Assamu'alaikum!" He greeted and sat beside Zain giving him a handshake.

"Welcome back, Ya Aliyu."

"Thank you, hope you're all enjoying your coming here?" He asked.

"I didn't until she lock my mouth with this mouth-watering food. Imagine asking us to find our way to get ourselves drink." He said.

"Really baby, why?" Aliyu asked facing his wife.

"Don't mind him, they said they didn't miss me, only murja do and I serve her alone?" she said.

"You know they do a lot! Next time serve them too so his wife doesn't have to revenge when you visit him after marriage too." Aliyu said and they all laugh.

"I dare her," Rahma said and that was how they keep making jest of each other until it was getting dark and they left promising to visit again. Zain's package was not left out also and Aliyu only admires the cat and rat display in his house between Zain and his wife, they look more like twins always at each other neck. They all enjoyed their stay, and Rahma felt it when they left 'family is indeed the best' no one can replace them.
