Our Fate

Chapter 18

As soon as they step out of their flight, they hire a chauffeur who took them directly to a hotel they book. After dropping their load and everything they went to Madina, and also visit the graveyard of prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and supplicate before returning to the hotel.

Two days later, they enter ihram by washing their body and wearing ihram and declaring of intension for performing pilgrimage.

On their way, they keep reciting the dua which was very necessary when visiting Makkah until they reach a particular mosque, where they stop and offer two Rakat of Nailah and continue with their journey to Makkah.

Immediately they arrived at Makkah, they drop their stuff and proceeded to the mosques, Al Masjid Al Haram. which was very important to visit the first day they arrive, even if it was late at night already.

They perform their Tawaf_circling the Kaaba seven times in a counter-clockwise direction.

And later proceed to Sa'I, walking seven times between the hills of Safa and Marwa beside the Kaaba. And later end their umrah by supplicating and thanking Almighty for everything.

"Ya Allah guides us to the right path, protect us from every evil and act of the devil, Ya Allah forgive every one of our shortcomings and protect our marriage, bless our parent and protect our siblings. Ya Allah blesses us with children that will be the coolness of eyes, give us the heart and mind to tolerate one another, Ya Allah enriched our heart with forever love, peace and happiness. Oh, Ya Allah removes our soul only when you are most pleased with us and unite us together even hereafter In Sha Allah." Aliyu prayed and Rahma ends it with Ameen. Both of them wipe their tears and left afterwards.

And they were done with umrah peacefully.

"Are we going back to Nigeria tomorrow?" Rahma asked as they fold their cloth back into the trolley.

"No babe, we can go for our honeymoon?"

"Oh really!"

"Yeah babe, I book our flight to Paris tomorrow at 6 am"

"Paris? Oh my god! Thank you so much for this love" she said and jump onto him. I can't keep calm to explore, love." she said. "You know Paris is one of my dream countries and Abba never allows us, saying it will be more memorable when we go with our spouses in future."

"I'm glad he never allow you then, and I'm happy you're going to make that memory with me babe" he winks at her

"Yeah, I am too."

Arriving at Paris, they went straight to a hotel with the help of the map on goggle. After dropping their trolley and settling Rahma sighed exasperatedly. "I'm so tired walahi, even my leg hurt a lot." She complains.

"Come and lay down let me massage it for you" Aliyu gesture.

"That why I love you baby, and can't do without you!"

I love you more, now come here" And he massages her gently making her feel relaxed before their order arrives.

"Wow they have good pizza here," Rahma complimented as she devours her meal.

"Yeah, it very good! And I'm glad you like it too babe,"

"Yeah very well, love it you know"

"More than me," he asked feigning hurt.

"Of course more than you, who choose a husband over good meals?" She question, stiffen her laughter back.

"C'mon you don't mean it, I'm hurt"

"Of course dear hubby" And he slip their lips together as if waiting for her lips to part, he kissed her hungrily for making such expensive joke with him, and he only let her go to have some breathing.

"That for choosing food over me," He said and wink while Rahma only looks and shake her head, wandering the type of husband she has.

Few minutes of having funs together, they shower and pray before retiring back to bed calling it a day.

The next day, after resting throughout the day, they went for an outing at Eiffel Tower. The sight of the beauty that beholds it was so mesmerizing with the lit light beaming at everywhere make it to be awe.

The iconic structure pierces through the cloud and from the top they could panoramically view the whole of the Paris city.

"This is indeed a nice view, touring the place is especially recommended for couples like us just as you said it earlier" Rahma complimented.

"Yes, baby! Come let go to that restaurant inside, and I bet you will enjoy their exquisite French cruise." Aliyu said and lead the way with their hand intertwined.

A waiter return with their order a few minutes after it was order and Rahma couldn't be more than escalated tasting it, she loves it just at the first bite of it."This is a very delicious baby"

"That why I said you will love it"

"Aww yeah I do"

They left Eiffel Tower and have a walk around the city, having fun and making jest of each other along with the city. The love and bond were so strong that it could hardly break. Just in a few weeks and they couldn't do without each other. Sighting a seat at the left corner of the street they both walk toward it and sat down watching people moving ups and down as if it was early morning.

Aliyu hand never let go of his wife own, even as they sat down together both lost in their thought with Rahma head on his chest feeling his heartbeat and scent. While Aliyu's left hand was securely wrapped around her waist.

"Baby" He called, his voice was calm but hold a lot of emotion and Rahma could not help but to look up into his eyes and asked what was wrong because the way he calls her sound odd.

"Can I asked you something?" He asked, holding her cheeks and look her directly in the eyes.

"Of course please, what is it and why the sudden calmness?" She asked getting worried.

"Why did you love me?" He asked, making Rahma to be taken aback by the question because she wasn't expecting that.

"Uhm Aliyu!" She called, looking at him again, and squeezing their hand together "What will I even say that will make you truly believe I loved you with all my heart? Aliyu! I love you! I love you, like seriously I... I love you and sometimes it feels like I love you is not just enough to capture what my heart feels for you or everything I ever feel for you. I know I'm not supposed to express it or show it this way but seeing you like this I can't even hide it. I love you, please stop crying and she cupped his face and wipe away his tears before smashing their lips together. She kissed him not minding the fact that they were in public, he deserves it. His lips parted and she slips her tongue inside, merging their tongue hungrily and she moans when she felt his hand underneath her.

"We need to leave here I'm going crazy" Aliyu said immediately they gap for air.

"Sure" Rahma respond and they left.

"Babe you need to complete what you have started I'm not even myself again"

"Like really!" Rahma asked as she removes her shoes and lay on the bed feeling tired already.

"Of course! demn it! I can't believe what just happen like was that really you? Oh my God!" He said and facepalm his self.

"Oh yeah! goodnight baby." She said and Peck him before covering herself with the duvet.

"C'mon babe you don't mean it, did you want to kill me this night?" And before she could respond his mouth narrowed down and his lips crushed into her. He grabbed her loose hair while kissing her passionately. "I love you too my wifey! So much I couldn't even start stating them down, all my life have prayed for someone beautiful with a heart of gold and I was blessed with even more than what I asked for! You're a precious jam to me, my one only! You're mine! Mine alone stay with me forever, promise to always be by my side?"He said and Rahma cupped his face again looking straight into his eyes " Hubby! I promise to be by your side forever! I promise to be with you till death do us apart and meet again in Jannah as a husband and wife In Sha Allah."

"I love you" Rahma repeated and Aliyu couldn't control himself any longer and kiss her this time around bringing her cloth down on the floor with his. His hand fondle with her chest and tweaked the n****e making Rahma moan softly at the touch.

And she melted into the warmed of his hand skimming around her body in an escalated way.

And later at the night Rahma wrapped her arms around his bare neck and pushed herself deeper into the kiss. Their bodies collided and ignited a new fire within them.

Being the last day of their stay in Paris before flying back to Nigeria, they went on shopping and bought a lot of gifts for their families to visit them soon before Aliyu resume work in two weeks term to come.

Leaving the shopping mall they return to the hotel and drop their load before going to their last place on the list.

Paris boat tour. As soon as they arrive they bought their ticket and ride through the romantic sailing Paris boat. "You know this is the most romantic place I will love to visit again. The fresh air here is so heaven not to even talk of this romantic dinner set here with candles and everything. I most comment you have a good taste on goods and romantic places hubby."

"Exactly just for you, I want to be everything "He responded and she smiles knowing his saying the whole truth.

"I can't believe we are returning to Nigeria tomorrow like for real I'm gonna missed all this tour and I can't wait to set my eyes on Basma and Mardiya."

"And cut their ears right" And they both laugh at his joke.

"I miss those girls honestly, I can't believe this how marriage is, having to separate with the once you grew up with and starting a new life with someone else."

"That just the wonder of Almighty! He does things we never expect. I never knew I could easily fall in love the first day I met you, but believe me, you just capture my eyes that very day, I couldn't even take off my eyes again and I hesitated to even approach at first." He said as they enjoy their dinner.

"Should I confessed?"Rahma asked, and continue" It was love at first sight for both of us then because I wanted to get carried away when I saw you but as a lady, I compose myself and busy myself with other things while my sisters were pointing at the handsome guys there. When you approach me, my heart beat faster and I was hoping I wasn't dreaming when you asked me out."

"Oh my God! I can't believe this and you still suffer me, baby?" He asked.

"I didn't suffer from you! But wanted to have my feelings check before accepting you if truly it wasn't just infatuation for your look and sexy eyes bulbs and if you were not a player you know."

"You love my eyes?"

"Give thanks to it, because it captivated my attention and give me this sensation of tingling."

"Wow, I'm a glad baby. But hope you also got good information that I wasn't a player right?"

"Yeah, my husband is not, and only as his eyes on me now and forever!"

"Yes, baby! I love you" he said and place a passionate kiss on her lips."
