Chapter 25: Chapter 25

"Hafsa??"

"Hafsa wake up before I pour this cold water on you" I heard someone said. "Leave me alone" I whined. I opened my right eye and closed. "Babe please leave me alone, I want to sleep" I groaned.

"I'm gonna pinch your butt if you don't get up" He said. I ignored him and pretended like I was sleeping. "I'm gonna pinch you real hard... Hafsa get up, your son is already up" he removed the duvet. I turned my head to the other side.

I felt a sharp pain on my butt "aaahh" I yelped and jumped out landing on my butt. He ran out of the room. I stood up and followed him. "Come back here!!" I yelled chasing after him. He ran outside to the garden.

"3...2...1" he counted and the next thing I felt was cold water all over my body.  "You wicked soul. You're going to pay for this" I yelled. "Stupid sprinklers" I murmured going back in. Aasim was busy laughing. He was soaking wet too.

I barged into the house and straight up.  I stripped off my clothes and took a long shower. I was really pissed on what aasim did. He's going to pay for it....

I came out and dressed in pink iro and buba. I glammed up my face and took a selfie.

"Mama Mia" he whistled. I turned my head to look at aasim. Ayman was already dressed up in a light green kaftan. I ignored aasim and went to pick up my baby. "Chu Chu" I pinched his cheeks. "Has he eaten?" I asked. "Yes ma'am" he replied. "You should go eat now, your food is getting cold" he said jumping on the bed. "We'd be going out in an hour" he added.

••••

"Ayman taho nan Dan Allah (come here please)" fahita pleaded. Ayman was hiding his face with my veil. Right now we're in fahita's house, Aasim's cousin. Fahita is a married woman blessed with only one child. He has the same age as Ayman.

When Ayman saw khalid, fahita's son they went outside and started playing. Ayman looked really happy. he never had anyone to play with in his own age at Abuja.

"Ina mijin naki neh wai? Ko yana gurin kishiyar ki neh? (Where's your husband? Is he with your co-wife?)" aasim asked. She punched his shoulder "banni da kishiya allah gina katan gar karfe tsakanin da kishiya (I don't have a co-wife, may Allah build a metal fence between me and a her)"

Aasim laughed at how she panicked. "Ni ko zan kara aure (I'm getting married again)". Those words split right through my heart. I glared at him before looking away.

"Lalala ba ruwana, wannan tsakanin ka da matan ka ne (that's none of my business, it's between you and your wife)" she placed her hand on her mouth. "Hafsa don't worry he's just joking" she smiled at me and glared at aasim

"I'm not joking" he looked serious. That made my heart to beat faster. "Oh that's nice! I can't wait to meet her!" I smirked. "Oh don't worry you'll meet her pretty soon. You even know her" he replied.

They kept chatting while all I did was looked at them. I was absent minded. I excused myself and headed outside. I met ayman and Khalid sitting together doing only God knows what.

I found a sit close to them and sat down. I bought out my phone and called amira but she didn't pick, probably busy doing something naughty with her husband.

I called anisa but her phone was not reachable. What is wrong with these girls? I dialed on aunty zaynab's number and luckily she picked up.

"Aunty Zaynab!!" I chirped in. I know she's pissed cause I promised to come visit her and her 9 months old baby but I didn't. "Ba wani aunty zaynab. Hafsa you totally forgot about me, I hope you're on your way to my house now"

"Uhmm aunty I'm in katsina... Where's afrah?" I asked trying to change the topic.

"Hmm you traveled and didn't bother to tell me ko hafsa. Bakomai rayuwa ce (that's life). And afrah is fine, she's missing her aunt so much"

"I'm so sorry I didn't tell you... Tell afrah I'm missing her too" i said.

"Insha Allah, when are you coming back?" She asked "I don't know fa. He didn't tell me when we're coming back" shrugged. "Where's ya Yusuf?" I asked. "He's sleeping" she replied. "In the middle of the day.... Kaii this man ko he sleeps too much" I rolled my eyes even though she can't see me.

"Babu ruwanki, miji nane Ai (that's none of your business, he's my husband)" she said. "Lalala Allah baki hakuri... I have to go, bye" I said and hung up. I didn't even wait for her to reply.

I sighed and stood up. I went back In to see aasim already coming out. We said our goodbyes and left. We went to several places. Some were nice to me while some where just, what do I even say wicked? Mean? Throughout the day I kept avoid aasim. I don't want to talk to him.

We finally retired home. We ate at one of his aunties house so no need to cook again. I prayed isha and took a warm bath. I bathed Ayman and dressed him up in his overall pjs.

I sat on the bed and covered my legs to waist with the soft duvet. I took my phone and logged into Instagram. It's been a while now since I checked my Instagram account. I saw a lot of requests from different people. I just shrugged and logged out.

"Hey". I raised up my head to look at aasim smiling at me. I smiled back and looked away "hey" I replied. "What's wrong?" He asked. He even has the guts to ask what's wrong with me? After what he said?

"Nothing" I simply said. "Then why are you avoiding me?" He asked... I hesitate before replying "I'm not avoiding you" I said "excuse me I have to go check on Ayman in his room" I stood  up to leave but he held my hand.

"You see, you're avoiding me. What did I do please habibaty? Is it because I said I was going to get married again" he furrowed his brows. I let out a loud cry "YES! What did I do to you please? Tell me!! Why are you getting married again? Please whatever I did forgive me! I'll change, just don't get married please. I can't share you with any girl wallahi" I sobbed uncontrollably.

He sighed "it's too late Hafsa. You have to learn how to share. I'm going to marry maimuna. That's why inna jummai asked to talk to me alone. She already called baba and told him. The wedding date will be fixed in the next two months. Maimuna has already agreed"

What? Maimuna? She agreed? That she devil that I've been showing her nothing but love!! This is what i get in return.. Oh ya rabbil alamina see me through this musifa!

"I... I hate you aasim... You've be...betrayed me... I hate you.... Leave... Leave me alone" I yelled. "GET OUT!!" I yelled again. A set of new tears cascade down. "I Said get out!!" I yelled throwing a pillow at him Which he successfully dodged.

He burst out laughing... What? Why is he laughing? What's funny? He fell on the ground clenching his stomach. He finally stopped laughing.

"Babe I was just joking... See how you were over reacting... God Hafsa you know I can't do that to you. I love you so much" he stood up and palmed my face in his warm palms. He wiped my tears and kissed my forehead.

"I love you and you know that. You're my everything. You make me feel special. You make me feel like a king. After you there's nobody in my heart. I can't go pass a day without thinking about you. You are and will always be my wife. I love you so much". I sniffed and hugged him without saying anything. His words melted my heart.

I moved back and punched him real hard on the chest "that wasn't funny" I smirked. He started coughing "do you want to kill me or what?" He asked holding his chest. "Talk about getting married and see what I'll do" I smirked, my hands were on my chest.

I sat on the of the bed. He sat beside me. I placed my head on his shoulder. We stared at the empty space. "You know that really wasn't funny at all" I uttered. "I know and I'm sorry" he apologized. I placed my chin on his shoulder looking at his sideburns. "Apology not accepted" I whispered. "Ok lemme apologize properly".

He palmed my face and joined our lips together. I jumped on top of him sucking on his lower lip. He groaned and kissed back palming my butt. I traced kisses to his neck.

He moved his hands to my waist and back to my butt. I moved back to his lips as deep and amazing feelings arose. Our tongues danced together. He turned us making him on top now. Things were getting heated when I pushed him off and ran out of the room.

"Hafsa!!" He called out. 'That's what you get for interrupting my sweet slumber' I thought to myself. I went to living room and settled down, legs crossed. "What the hell was that?" He asked fuming with anger.

"I told you you were going to pay for it" I smirked. "But... Commmmooonnn don't do this to me" He went down on his knees. "Next time don't wake me up again kaji?" I stood up and headed to our room.
