Chapter 16: Chapter 16

Hafsa's POV

3 months later...

It's been three months 3 weeks now since I got discharged from the hospital. I've never been so happy because aasim has been by my side throughout my rough days. He does whatever I want in a blink of an eye. He's always by my side no matter how moody I get. I have to admit that I added weight because I eat a lot like

6 to 7 times a day. He never allows me to cook anymore or let me to do the house chores. Being pregnant is hard yet sweet. I love how he never gets tired of pampering me. He's just the best husband ever. I love him so much.

Ding dong!

I heard the doorbell. Who could that be on a Saturday evening? I was about to stand up when aasim came into the living room "don't worry babe I'll get it" he said and I smiled.

"Ya aasim!!" I heard someone yelled which I know it's definitely ruqayyah or nafeesah. There voice is just so the same.

"Meya kawo Ki gida na? Wato kinzo Ki dami matana ko (what brought you to my house? You came to disturb my wife right"

"Aasim hey, Baka gane Ni bane (don't you recognize me?)" I heard an unfamiliar voice said. "Haba taya zan manta da lil sis dina (why will I forget about my lil sis) come here" he hugged her. Wtf?!! Who is she?! And why's she hugging my man?!

They moved into the living room and the girl kept Giving me a cold dead look with her large suitcase tailing behind. What's up with her? And why's she with a large suitcase? I hugged ruqayyah before settling back down. "Uhmm hafsa this is my cousin meenarh, meenarh this is my wife Hafsa" Aasim said sitting beside me.

"Sannun ki" i greeted. "Aasim where's my room please? I need to rest" she said acting like I don't even exist. What the hell is wrong with this dumb ass girl? So she's even staying? Why she all over my man?

"C'mon lemme show you" he stood up and she followed him. She glared at me before leaving. "Aunty Hafsa don't mind her please. She has a crush on ya aasim that's why she's acting this way" ruqayyah said and I smiled "I kinda figure that out"

"Kawai whatever she does ignore her. She'll be staying here with you guys for some time. She came all the way from Katsina just to school at Nile. Baba insisted that she lives with us but she said no, she wants to live here with you guys. I don't know what she wants but please Bare with her" ruqayyah said looking furious.

I simply chuckled "Insha Allah I will" deep down inside I wasn't happy.

"Yauwa in law. I have to get going" she stood up and picked her bag. "Leaving already?" A deep husky voice behind me said which I definitely know is aasim. "Yes na I don't want to disturb your wife like you said" she smirked.

"C'mon rukky baby I was joking. Stay please" he pleaded. "Nooo the driver is waiting for me outside. See you guys later" she hugged me before Leaving. I turned to look at aasim who was looking at me like a hungry lion looking at a juicy meat  "dude I'm pregnant and I can give birth any time soon, stop thinking about it cos it's not gonna happen" I pushed him away and made my way to the kitchen.

"No worries. You'll come asking for it later like you did last night" he said and ran upstairs. "Aasim you are a dead meat wlhi" I yelled "I love you too" he yelled back from upstairs. I shook my head and smiled "that's my hubby for you" I thought to myself.

I sat on one of the stools in the kitchen eating my salad and grilled chicken with chips and a banana smoothie. Oh my god it's just so amazing, my husband is such a great cook.

Was about to take another bite when meenarh came in all dressed up in a black sweatpants and a pink tank top which made her curves to be visible. Her hair was tied in a bun. "Yeah I know I'm hot, so stop staring" she rolled her eyes which made me to chuckle.

She opened the fridge and bought out a bottle of orange juice "just so you know, aasim is going to be mine sooner or later" she glared at me before closing the fridge and leaving. I just shook my head and continued eating my salad. I finished eating and went to the living room where I met aasim watching football and meenarh was sitting beside him.

I just walked passed them heading upstairs "hey" aasim called out. I turned and looked at him "yes hubby" I said. "Where are you going to? Come join us" he said but I don't want to vomit looking at meenarh' face. "No I'm going to bed, my back hurts" I simply said and left.

I went up to Aasim's room and took a warm bath before coming out and dressed in his shirt with my shorts. Even though I'm pregnant, I still have to look sexy for my husband.

"Damn babe you look hot" he appeared from nowhere. "Awwn thank you hubby" I kissed his cheeks and moved to the bed. I adjusted the pillow and rested my back on it. I covered my big tummy to my legs with the duvet.

"You look down, what's wrong?" He asked doing the same thing I did. I rested my head on this shoulder "I'm fine" I said slowly. "I just hate your cousin" I thought of saying but I just kept quiet.

"Are you sure?" He asked and I murmured a 'yes'.  "Sorry I didn't tell you my cousin was coming to live with us" he apologized. "It's okay" I replied. I raised my head up from his shoulder and made him face me with my thumb and index finger before clashing our lips together. "I love you hafsa" he said between kisses.

He traced kisses to my neck before coming back to my lips. I was already getting turned on before someone barged in "aasim" she said almost like a yell. We broke the kiss immediately "what?" He asked furiously. She sure is a buzzkill.

"I want to make coffee but I don't know where the mugs are" she said looking at him. "Did you check the cabinets?" He asked. "No I couldn't reach out" she was flapping her lashes. I rolled my eyes "and you couldn't use a chair?" I asked but I ended up getting a hot glare.

Aasim sighed "let's go" he said and she gave me an evil smile. She's upto something, I know it. I just shrugged and went to the nursery to check it out. I just can't wait to see my baby. He/she is going to get a lot of love from me and aasim. We decided not to check the gender of the baby.

The room Was painted grey with a white crib at the end of the room. A cute lamp beside a comfy grey couch. I love how the tree was beautifully painted on the wall. I felt the baby kicking. The baby is excited about his/her new room too.

I moved to the closet and opened it. All the baby's clothes well arranged. I suddenly got emotional. I just can't wait to hold my baby in my arms.

I didn't know when aasim came in and wrapped his arms around me. He kissed my neck "I just can't wait to be a father" he whispered into my eyes. "I can't wait to be a mother" I said softly.

"C'mon let's go" we went back to his room and cuddled to sleep.

••••

The next morning I woke up not feeling good. My back was still aching. I was having some kinda pain in my lower abdomen but I just pretend like nothing's wrong. I don't want aasim to panick.

I took a bath and dressed in a free gown before strolling downstairs. I met meenarh and aasim eating at the dinning table. "You're up" aasim said smiling at me. I just smiled back and nodded. I sat opposite meenarh not even looking at her shitty face.

"Lemme feed you" he took a slice of fried yam and egg sauce and put it in my mouth. I was happy when I saw the look meenarh was giving us. At the end she stood up and left. We finished eating and moved to the living room.

My legs were on Aasim's laps while munching on my snickers bar. I suddenly felt a hard kick which made me to Yelp "what's wrong? Are you okay" he asked already panicking. "No I'm fine" I replied. "No you're not"

"Yes I am. Don't worry I'm fine" I shrugged. "No we.." Before he could finish, his phone interrupted. "Okay I'm on my way" he hung up and stood up. "Baba just called me now, he said he wants to see me right now. I have to go but I'll be back soon Insha Allah" he kissed my forehead before going upstairs to change.

I continued watching the Simpsons on fox movie after aasim left. I stood up feeling so weak and lazy and headed to the kitchen. I yelped again feeling the hard kick. But this time it was much more painful "Innalillahi" I murmured gritting my teeth sliding down. "Somebody help!!" I yelled. My phone wasn't close.

"Meenarh!!!" I yelled. I was really in pain. Tears cascading down my cheeks. "Innalillahi wa Inna'ilaihir raji'un" my water just broke. "What? What do you want? Why are you.." She paused when she saw the situation I'm in.

"Help me please. Call aasim" I couldn't bare the pain. "Why will I do that? In kinso Ki mutu (if you like die)" she hissed and turn on her heels. What a wicked soul!! "Meenarh please don't leave me in this situation. Please don't" I wailed but she has already left.

"Wayyo Allah mamana" I yelled my eyes closed. "Na shiga uku meh zan gani haka (what am I seeing?)" I heard someone said. I quickly opened my eyes to see aunty rashida. "Aunty rashida help me please. The pain is too much" I held her hand tight not letting go.

She helped me up and took me to her car. On our way she called aasim to meet us at the hospital. I kept screaming and crying throughout the ride to the hospital.

Aasim's POV

I drove as fast as I could to the hospital. I just hope Hafsa is fine. Oh ya Allah make this easy for her. I finally arrived at the hospital and went in. I saw aunty rashida at the waiting room "Aunty where's Hafsa? Is she okay? Where can I see her" I kept bombarding her with questions.

"Calm down, they took her to the theater room. Just pray for her" Aunty Rashida looked really worried. I kept sauntering around. I couldn't think straight. "Aasim sit please" Aunty Rashida said. "I'm okay like this" I forced a smile on my face.

After approximately 20 minutes Hafsa's mom arrived with ammi. I exchanged greetings with her mom "aasim Karka damu Insha Allah zata haihu Lfy. Just keep praying for her" mama said and I nodded.

One hour...

Two hours....

Three hours.....

Still no sign of Hafsa or the doctor or anybody. I was already outta control. I couldn't move nor speak to anyone. I just sat down buried my face in my palm praying silently.

Just then the doctor came out with a huge grin on his face. "Are you Hafsa's husband?" He asked. "Y... Yes I am" I replied. "Congratulations you're a now father to a baby......"
