"And i love you more Tinkerbell" he said, as he enveloped me in a warm hug. I rest my head carefully on his broad chest, as i inhale the pef he used. O Allah! How sweet he is. I broke the hug slightly, tears still in my eyes and looked at him. He smiled. I mean the biggest and most beautiful smile I've ever seen. Yaa Rabbi! How lucky am i to have him.

       "Its been a long day Tinkerbell, go into the bathroom and take a shower, I'll be doing so. Uh..and don't forget to perform an ablution". He said slowly, as he bit my earlobe. My heart flip, and i could feel the pounding in his heart. I quickly untangled myself from the hug and walked straight to the bathroom, leaving Arfaat standing alone in the room, smiling to himself. He turned and left the room a few more minutes later.

I showered for almost thirty minutes, allowing the hot water penetrate through my soul, massaging my aching back and shoulder then i washed up. I tied my fluffy pink towel and tip toed back to my room. Slipped into a long silky night gown. I looked at my hennaed hands and smiled. I was engrossed in my thought about how beautiful the flower looked when i felt a presence behind me. And before i could turn around, two strong arms wrapped around my stomach and i was pulled to a hard chest.

     His lips were inches away from my ear and i could feel hia warm breath on my neck. His nose gently grazed the crook of my neck and my knees went weak. I don't know why, but i found myself shifting my head to the other side to grant him more access. I could feel his lips doing a great job, from the crook of my neck to the jaw of my lips. Yaa Allah, I'm really loving this.

"You are super beautiful" he said softly.

      I only moaned in response, as i turned slowly, facing him. We both pierced through each others soul with heart warming looks. I felt hot all over, he swallowed hard and i could see his adam's apple bupped up and down.

"Lets pray" he said, trying to act all cool and steady, but his voice betrayed him, cuz i could feel the urge in them.

     Arfaat led the prayer, and my heart almost melted, as he recite suraatul baqraah in is husky and deep like voice. O gosh, i loved his qira'a. After the prayer, he puts his hand on my head and prayed for a long time, deep inside my heart, i was also praying for him. Lovers crew.

I yawned so hard, was that for hunger? Some sleep or both? I just don't know.

     "Hungry i guess?" He asked, removing my himar.

"Am okay" i answered, a little bit shy. What has got into me?

   I heard him chuckle, what ever that was for?

       "Tinkerbell, look at me."

"I don't want to" I answered.

   "You shy?" He asked, between chuckles. I only nodded my head. Maybe he didn't notice the body language i used or whatsoever. I felt his strong arms drawing me closer to him, and before i could understand what was happening, i felt his lips on mine!

   What was this feeling? I asked myself, acting like thou this is my first marriage. Well, its my first marraige to be presice. And then, all hell broke loose. Everything was hazy. Butterflies were busting in my stomach. His hand tightened in my hair as he nibbled my lower lip. I don't know how, but i found my lips moving too, and before i knew it, i was kissing him back. Hard. We both came up for air as our lungs were starving.

       "You drive me crazy". And before i could reply, he was kissing me again. His hand roamed from my hair, down to my spine and to my hips. I had to use great effort before i could stop him. Both of us gasping hard.

"I love you Tinkerbell."

"I love you more SM."

   He feed me with his hands, and i thought i was the luckiest woman on earth. After eating, we brushed our teeths and Arfaat took me up in his hands and carried me to the bed. And then. Light off. ( Chai! Make una Close your mouths na ).

Early the next morning, which was the most beautiful saturday I've ever had. I woke up happy. With a very big and bright smile. I am married, not just married. But married to the love of my life, what more could i ask for? Nothing!

   "Heyya, good morning Tinkerbell" arfaar greated, emerging into the room with a tray in his hand, an apron tied around his neck. O Yaa Allah! I so much love him!

"Morning Sm" i said, beaming with smile.

    "Allow me Mrs Arfaat" he said, as he bows a little in respect, before picking up the whole me into thw bathroom. I giggled, but i liked the idea.

*30 minutes later*

   "Hey! I'll have the last piece of the garlic baked bread" i said, as i tried to grab it from his handhand.

"A'a'ah. That's impossible. Its all mine". He said, as he stood up running round the room. I followed suit.

As a complete house wife, i couldn't ask for more. I am glad I've got to know Arfaat. I always bless the day i meet him, the day he slapped me. It all happened because of that. I JUWAIRIYYAH ABBAS, is now married to a street mechanic. Living in a three bedroom flat. Cook, sweep, mop the floor and the best of all these chores, take care of my soul mate. My Yaa Arfaat.

    I then realized something. In life, don't look high at yourself. Always be in the middle. Who would've ever thought that I'll love arfaat as much as i do now?. I don't care if he's a street mechanic or whatsoever. The only thing i care about making him happy, and being a good mother to my children. Its been almost two months since we got married. And I've cherished every single moment we shared.

It was an early Saturday morning. i was super excited, I'll get to be with arfaat all day. I enjoy weekends.I could remember arfaat telling me yesterday night before going to bed that he'll like to have moi-moi and kunun tsamiya as breakfast. So, i woke up as early as six and went into the kitchen ti start working. At around 8:am, i was all set. Dressed in a gown, more like a baby gown. Its sky blue in colour and was only long enough to cover my thigh. I applied a very simple make up. I looked cute like always.

I walked back into Arfaat's room and found him with a bath robe. Pomade in his hand. I saalaamed at the door before going straight in, with a beautiful smile on my face.

    "Good morning Sm" i greated. As i took over what he was doing. Rubbing the pomade all over his body slowly.

"How soft" he murmured "oh, am sorry. Morning Tinkerbell. How was your night?"

    "Alhamdulillah Sm. Thought you'll be asleep until noon". I teased.

"Come here" he said, grabbing my hand and sitting me down on his laps. His gaze made me all wet. And i was beginning to loose control.

"You look cute" he said, placing a light peck on my right cheek. I swear, i felt like grabbing his lips.

"What's up for breakfast?" He asked, changing the subject.

    "Thought you said you'll like moi-moi and kunun gyada?". I said as i rested my head on his chest.

"How sweet. We eat your choice as lunch then. What will you like to have? I'll cook" he said, as he caressed me to and fro.

      "Fried spaghetti with vegies as the main course and chesse as a side dish." 

"Done! Tuwo miyan kuka will be for dinner then" he said in a serious tone.

    I looked up quickly in an attempt to say no, but then caught the serious look on his face. I kept mute. And stood up quietly from his laps, leaving the room completely. I had a worried look on my face.

Funny enough, i still don't know how to eat tuwo miyan kuka. Talk more of cooking it. "always stubborn like a new born baby sm" i muttered to myself.

    "I'm always a baby to you Tinkerbell" i heard him say, without knowing the exact time he arrived at the spot. "Am starving, feed me."

And so i did. I feed him, quietly. Neither of us saying a word to each other. I know he's trying to force me into cooking tuwo miyan kuka. But i just can't.

  It was noon already, and i was busy in the kitchen cooking lunch (fried spaghetti with vegies) when my phone rang. I hissed a little seeing who the caller was SNOW-WHITE. A crazy cousin of hers.

   "Hi baby" snow said.

        "Hi" i answered absent mindly.

"O come on baby. Are you still angry?" she asked. 

   "Of coursee yes miss" I said, as i snapped at her through the phone.

" Too bad, am still apologizing."

   "Okay then, how you doing? Ya Hajiya?"

"She's fine. Sending her regards. Am coming over in the next three days. And guess what? Am coming with my future hubby."

"Wow, are you serious sweriee?" I asked happily.

    "I a super serious babe."

"Well, can't wait. All the very best."

  We chatted a little more before ending the call. I missed my craxy cousin. Maria(snow- white).

I arranged the dinning table, took a quick shower and slipped into a green and black gown. Arfaat still had that serious look on his face. I was about serving him lunch when the doorbell rang. Being the person standing, i walked straight to the door not minding to use himaar or something else. What is that person is not my muhaaram?.

    "Where do you think you are going like that?" Arfaat said angrily.

I couldn't say a word, so i turned quickly and went back to my room. I took out a green himar and was about to leave the room when khadeejah and fatyma barged in.

"Hello there sweetest aunt" khadeejah said sweetly hugging me tight.

     "Hello princess" i said happily, hugging her back. Thank you lord, i was happy for seeing them.

"Can i also have a hug" fatyma said, her arms wide open.

     "Owww, sure yayarmu" i said in a teasing manner, hugging her too.

We had lunch together, and with fatyma's help, i prepared the so called tuwo miyan kuka. That was when Arfaat's face lit up.

   The spent almost all the day at our house. Before they finally bid us farewell and left at about 5:39pm.

I walked to and fro, from the kitchen to the living room where arfaat was sitting, trying to beat up time. Am very sure any time from now, snow will be here. But to my surprise, i finished everything just in time. Took a warm shower and sat down with Arfaat in the living room. Both in their day to dag routine. Lovers crew. Hugs.. Kisses. Squeezing and lots more.

And by the time the doorbell rang, i knew it was them. But as i turned the knob and opened the door, i was surprised to see snowitah and junayd! Is this for real? I asked myself, as a stood in the doorway mouth wide open.

"Brother!" I heard Arfaat said from behind me, as he and junayd hugged each other. "you didn't tell me you were coming" he Complained.

      "Chill buddy, just wanted it to be a surprise."

"I missed you bro" Arfaat said breaking the hug. They both looked at juwai, who was still standing by the doorway. Looking at them with amazement in her eyes. What the hell just happened? She wondered.

   "Well, are you letting me in or should i go back" snow asked as she smacked me on my shoulders.

"Auch! That hurts you know" i said, sounding serious.

    I felt Arfaat heavy and soft hands exactly the spot she smaked me, he was caressing it in a romantic way.

"Auch! That hurts" he said imitating my tone. We all laughed and i hugged him happily.

 We walked into the living room, and it dawned on me that i didn't even say hi to Yaa Junayd.

    "Welcome Yaa Junayd" i said. A little bit shy.

"I was thinking you'll never say hi to me" i ignored his statement and usher them to the dining table. We had a quite lunch, well that's for me. Cuz yaa arfaat, yaa junayd and snow where busy talking about everything but nothing. Guess they forgot their table manners. After lunch, i took snow to my room. Ladies to ladies talk.

      "You can't be serious babe". I said in a surprised tone. As i quickly sat up in bed.

"Whatever do you mean by that" she replied.

   "You and Yaa Junayd are couples? You loved him all this while?" 

"Yes i do. And am glad we are getting married. Sounds stupid huh? Well, that's it. I love him, and i know he doesn't love me as much as i love him. But he'll learn to."

      "Alhandulillah!" I said. Enveloping her in my warm embrace. What a day! I enjoyed every single bit of it. Thanks to maria(snow white).

Its another bright monday morning. I stood at the doorway with arfaat, dressed in his mechanics suit.

     "Don't be late today" i said. Holding his right hand tight in mine "i don't want to miss you that much."

"Uh" was the only thing he said, as he grabbed my hips a moved me closer to his chest. I felt his warm lips on mine, as he nibbled both the upper and lower lips. Can i resist this? No i can't. We kissed eachother passionately, more like wildly. Like hungry animals. How i so much love yaa Arfaat.

We parted our lips slightly and i could see how breathing is becoming hard for arfaat. I quickly withdrew back. I know him very well.

     "Good bye sm" i said placing a light kiss on his cheek. He's too tall. I can't reach his forehead.

There, i was all alone at home again. Boring. I did my daily routine happily and slept for like two hours. Woke up at about one in the afternoon. I sat down in the living room watching islam. Just then my phone rang. I gave out one of my biggest smile seeing the caller before finally receiving it.

      "Tinkerbell" he called softly.

"Sm" i called him back, closing my eyes slowly. Allowing his deep and husky voice penetrate through my soul "i love you Yaa Arfaat" i blurted, not knowing when and how.

     "I love you more Tinkerbell. Will be back home in two hours. Can't wait to feel those soft skin on mine. And those lips too" he said, between chuckles.

"I missed you so very much. Can't wait to have you back. "

    "Take care baby, i love you."

"Grandma!" I said in surprise. Seeing her at the doorway one sunday afternoon. I was only wearing a red bumper shorts and a black vest, with makeup all over my face. What more could you expect, Arfaat is home. Its weekend.

"Wane irin iskanci ne wannan Juwai?" Grandma said "how could you sit with this type of cloths? Are you insane?" 

       "Yaa Allah! Here she comes again with her drama. Get in grandma" i said as i gave her way. She came into the living room, scanning every little corner.

"Seems like you are matured enough now, where is Arfaat?" She asked, sitting down on one of the couches.

"I'm here sweetheart" Arfaat said, emerging from the room. He's also wearing a black three quater and a red vest.

"La ilaha illal lah! Na shiga uku ni azumi (I am doomed). What am i seeing? Iskanci kuka fara?" She asked, clapping her hands.

     "Wify kin iso koh? Please. We are married. Bawani iskanci."

"A'a, wannan kam ai iskanci ne " she insist.

    "And that's how you'll dress for me when we get married" he said, smiling curtly as he grabbed my hands and sat me next to him.

"Hey! Let her go. A gaban nawa zaka riqeta (you trying to hold her in my presence)?". We burst out laughing. Hajiya is so funny.

     "If you say more, am gonna kiss her in your presence" he replied, cupping my face in hia soft hands.

"O ni azumi? Why did i even come to this house? Kunga tafiyata (am taking my leave)".

Well, life moved on. I went back to schoo and started my third year afresh. I was surprised, dad told me arfaat paid my tuition fees. Where could he have gotten all the money. he's trying real hard to keep up my needs. And am proud of him.
