Chapter 38: Chapter 38

Kimberly called Hauwa when kazeem left to get to somethings she might need from the store. He left her trying to put the puzzle together, she woke with the aroma of food hitting her nosrils and it wasn't even a local dish or something she will not like, he made sure that she will like it and devour it with her life.

"Take care of yourself for me or do you want to join to me?" He had asked her smiling before he left the house. Everything about him scares her now, the kazeem she knows is wicked and doesn't even wait for a second time to deal with anyone getting in his way.

"You would not even believe what I am going to tell you. I thought I was going to face my worse nightmare yesterday but guess what? He changed. He led us prayers and his voice, so Masha Allah wallahi. But wallahi I am scared , it might be a bet or a plot" She told hauwa on the phone.

"This is really surprising, I would have want to come but I have my own case to take care of. Baba said to tell who so ever that I am dating to send his parents and yusuf has been acting weird. I don't even know what to do, I don't know whether shuaib is even ready to settle. Ya Allah " Hauwa whispered.

She has feeling like her life is in a dilema that she can't even try to get out, yusuf on her neck and then there is shuaib case. She doesn't even know how to handle all. She felt so suffocating, everything felt tight for her and her poor life.

This is not even how she wished to do her things. "Pray istighara and the Lord will show you the way. He always listen to our needs, so what should I do when he gets back?" Kimberly asked suddenly.

"Just kind of play along with him. When he wants to go forward, lock your door and leave him outside. You can even lock the front door if he insists" Hauwa advised and Kimberly laughed. "I will try In Sha Allah. Just pray later, kinji" Kimberly said ending the call.

She headed to the kitchen to have her food because she refused to eat when kazeem was around. She got a heap of chips and dalgona coffee to wash it down.

After that she headed to the bathroom to take her morning bath. Everything seems like a joke to her, she doesn't live with her parents again and she will hardly get to see her friends now. Then, she will be a mother at an early age.

"Auzubillahi to the bad thought." She murmured while closing the front door and headed to the bathroom.

She took her bath, then moved to her closet to wear something simple, something that will be free on her and she won't feel pressed in it.

Ah then arranged the room and everywhere in the house before kazeem will get back. It was an easy task to her because she is used to it. Even when her mother asked, whether she needs a house help, she had told her no need, she can pull everything together on her on.

Kazeem gently knocked on the door, she would have sworn he was not the one. He has changed since the day she entered the house which was yesterday.

She opened the door helping him out with the paper bags in his hand. "thank you so much" he told her heading to the kitchen.

He dropped the bags in the sink and helped her arranged everything in the freezer. All this while, she could not say anything audible than to look at him.

Is he really a changed person now? Or is he trying to play games with? She wouldn't even know because the old kazeem is very corny, he would be able to deceive her just like he did to hajiya Iya.

"Let me get ready so that we will go to the family house koh. I promised to meet the rest there. You can do whatever you want before I get down." He told her smiling. He headed to the room to do his things and left her to think about her destiny.

All she prays for is kazeem's new habits not be fake or she would die of heart attack. He had her changing her thought about him, because she is an easy person and she forgives easily.

Then again, she forgot about yusuf her crush over night. She forgot about her dreams with him in it and everything that has to do with him. All she wants to do is focus on her marriage and how she will make it work out well.

That is all she wished for, a perfect marriage though the old ones said there is nothing like a perfect marriage, all marriages comes with an obstacle so she has to face every thing it comes with no matter how painful it is.

She watched as kazeem ambled down the stairs looking like a hot meal she will and savour on with no regrets. He cleared his throat getting her attention. "Lets go. We are already late. " He said picking his car key and wearing his shoes.

She would lie if she said kazeem is not a handsome man, he is every girl's dream, he just like a dream comes through except for his bad habits to which she believed he has changed his ways and she hope it is the best and it is forever because she can't deal with a bad kazeem again. She had had enough of the bad one, it is time to enjoy the new Kazeem.

"Can I ask you a question if you don't mind of course" she said sitting on the car seat while he ignites the car to life.

"Sure"

"What mad you changed overnight? I mean no offense, just want to know but I am sorry if you feel offended. " She rambled on and on, on how sorry she was for asking him that question.

"Can you stop saying sorry for a minute and allow me to talk" He raised his brows and she felt a doom in her heart, hoping he is not angry.

"I just felt that it is small world and people are dying, so I need to make my duniya inorder to get a better akhira" He left her speechless.
