Chapter 11: Chapter 11

"C'mon babe let's go" Aasim yelled from the room. "I'm almost done!" I yelled back from the closet. I finished dressing and we sauntered out of the hotel. We decided to go out on a picnic since today was the last day we'll be spending in Cuba. The park wasn't far from the hotel.

We found a perfect spot and settled down. "I'm really going to miss Cuba." I sighed, eating a gummy bear. "Me too, but on the bright side we'll be traveling a lot when you're done with school." he said. "Really?!" I squealed. "Yes honey" he replied.

The ringtone of Aasim’s interrupted. "The young B!" He said as he answered the call. "Man! I'm sorry I missed your wedding. You know I'm out of the country with my wife." He looked at me and smiled.

He called me his wife, eeepp!! What a feeling! "Well the good part is we're neighbors. I promise we'll come visit when we come back to Nigeria"

"Yes we'll be back by tomorrow Insha Allah. My regards to the bride." He stated before hanging up.

"Who was that?" I asked. "My childhood friend, I can't believe I missed his wedding." he shook his head. "But he didn't miss mine. I’m such a bad friend.”

"That's So uncool. If you knew your friend's wedding was coming up why will you make us to travel" I said disappointed.

"I totally forgot about the wedding. I just saw the pictures on social media." he said and shrugged.

"Try this one," I took a strawberry from the bowl and fed him. "It's sweet. Okay my turn." He took the strawberry away from me and fed me too. "Wow it is sweet."

Aasim laid his head on my laps as we watched the sun setting. "The sunset is so beautiful" I uttered looking at the sun slowly setting. "You're beautiful." he looked up at me. I just flashed him a smile and continued looking at the sun setting.

"C'mon let's take a walk before we go back to the hotel." he stood up and grabbed my hand. We walked slowly to the pond where we saw ducks swimming.

"That duck really reminds me of someone" I said pointing at a white duck. "Who?" He asked. "You." I stuck my tongue out and ran away.

"You must pay for what you just said!" He ran after me. He held my waist and raised me up. "No aasim stop!! Let me down please." I said laughing.

"Repeat what you said" he said swirling us round. "No stop please, I'm sorry. I feel dizzy.... I'm sorry." I pleaded. He finally stopped and we both fell on the grass. We both started laughing when we looked at each other.

We went back to our mat, I sat in between his legs facing the half sun. He wrapped his arms around my neck "I love you" he said and kissed my neck. "I love you too" I uttered touching his strong arms.

"Hafsa" he called my name. "Yes" I answered. "Have you ever thought of us maybe having a child?" He asked. I closed my eyes and bit my lip. "All the time" I replied.

"You?" I asked. "Me too." he replied. "I can't wait to see little Hafsa and Aasim. " he whispered into my ear which made me to blush. "You will, soon Insha Allah."

"Are you pregnant?" He asked. "Maybe! C'mon let's go, it's getting dark." I stood up and started packing. We finished packing and headed back to the hotel.

"How about we go watch a movie?" Aasim suggested as we walked into our suite. "Yes please let's go. But let's pray first." I said.

We performed ablution and prayed. I took a warm bath. I came out and got dressed in a simple gown. We went out and hailed a cab. I don't know why, cause Aasim has a car but he insisted that we take a cab.

"Let's watch 'wrong turn 7' please" I said as I saw the large banner of 'wrong turn 7'. "It's a horror movie" he said which made me to roll my eyes. "I know, I love horror movies. Let's watch it please baby." I pouted.

"No!" He quickly said. "Why?" I smiled evily. "Are you scared or what?"

"No I'm not" he groaned. "Two tickets for wrong turn 7 please" I said two the young guy behind the counter. He handed me the tickets and 3D glasses and Aasim  paid. we bought popcorn and soda.

We moved to the theater and got sitted. The movie soon started. I wore my 3D glasses and started eating my popcorn. I felt like I was in the movie. The way some terrifying and scary men are chasing people around and killing them. Gross!

It was really scary and exciting at the same time. The movie ended and we finally went back to the hotel.

"I'm so tired" I murmured as I jumped on the comfy bed. "Me too" aasim joined me. "Come here" he pulled me close to his body and hugged me tightly.

"Your body is so warm" he said hugging me tighter. "Can't breathe" I said and he loosen his hold "sorry." I was in his arms till I dozed off.

I woke up the next morning and Aasim wasn't in bed. I checked the kitchen, bathroom and the balcony but he wasn't anywhere. I dialed on his number.

"Where are you?" I asked as he picked up. "At the gym" he replied. "Uuww I bet you look sexy!! Send me a picture of you working out please." I said and hung up.

Few minutes later he sent the pictures and damn he looks so hot!!

Thank you Allah for this handsome, hot fella. I dialed on his number again. After three rings he picked up. "When are you coming back?" I asked. "On my way already" he replied "cook or order something for us please I'm Hungry"

he said and muttered an ok and hung up.

I went to the kitchen and bought out the ingredients from the pantry for making mac and cheese. I immediately started cooking. "Hey beautiful" a deep husky voice said which I definitely know is my husband.

I turned and looked at him "hello handsome" I smiled. He moved closer to me "noooo don't touch me, you're covered in sweat" I said running away. "No hug me" he ran after me.

I could feel the sweat all over me. "Oh seriously. Let go of me" I pushed him away. "Go take a shower" I furrowed my brows. "Let's go take a shower together" he winked. "I'm cooking. Just goo!!" I said pushing him towards the door. "Are you pushing me away?"

"Yes aasim I am, now go" I said almost yelling. "Hmm! Do I stink or what?" He asked. "Urgh!! No you don't. Stop being stubborn and go take a shower!"

"Okay fine" he said and walked out. I finished cooking before he got out of the bathroom. He came out and we ate. I took my bath while aasim packed our bags. We were leaving for Nigeria in one and a half hour.

I got out and dressed in a pink abaya and a matching veil. I finished dressing and we left for the airport.

We shortly boarded and took off. "How long are we going to spend in this jet?" I asked. "Nine hours" aasim replied. "Nine what??!!" I yelled. "Hours baby" he said and kissed my cheek. "Urgh!" I groaned and shrugged.

"Wake up Hafsa we're about to land," aasim woke me up from my sweet slumber. I sat up right and did some duas.

We landed safely and hopped out of the jet. "Home sweet home" I grinned.
