My Priceless Jewel - Episode 29

 

     *7years later*

I am a happy mother of two children. MUHAMMAD NASEER and RALIYA who we call maama. Naseer is 5yrs old while maama is three. Oh! Forgot to tell you all that naseer is stubborn type. Real stubborn i tell you. Arfaat now owns his own mechanic shop, a very big mechanic shop. Am proud of him.

     Junayd and Maria are also married, blessed with a kid, Mustapha . I can still remember the wedding day. How stupid of me to think things won't work between the two. Guess i was wrong. I graduated with a second class degree. Tried working but Arfaat said a big NO to that. Well, what more? Nothing. Am just a simple housewife.

It was a bright monday morning. I bathed naseer and maama, dressed them up in their school uniform. Naseer is now in nursery three, maama in nursery one.

     "Chew slowly naseer" i warned.

"Okay mom" he answered, but was still chewing like a dog.

     "Will you feed me Mrs Arfaat? Arfaat is starving over here". He said, sitting down on one of the chairs.

"Good morning dad" Naseer greated him, with food in his mouth.

   "Papy, good morning" Maama greated him too.

        "Morning my princess" he replied, as he took her up to his laps.

"Feed me papy, i don't want mom to feed me today."
 
"Oh really? But why?"

     "I just want you to feed me."

"Well, okay then, Tinkerbell, you feed me and i feed her. Naseer is the boss here, he eats himself."

WTF! Was Naseer just bouncing? Dammit

. He love the name. Boss.

  I feed Arfaat as he feed Maami, and in no time, we were done.

"Up you go princess, wait for me in the car" he said handing the car keys to naseer. Geez, forgot to tell you all that Arfaat now owns a car. EOD.

"So?" He said, as he rested his head on my chest "anything for me before i leave?"

     "Uh! Stubborn soul mate. I have nothing to give you. Now, off you go" i said, trying to lift up his head.

"Hey! I smell something in your mouth" he said, looking at me quizzically.

    "Its just a sweet" i answered.

"Well then. I want it too". He said, opening up his mouth. I took out a sweet from my pj's. But then he closed his mouth tight shut!

"uhuh! I don't want that one. I want the one in your mouth."

   "Ssssmm!" I called him, stressing the name "the kids are gonna be late."

"Lemme have the sweet, and I'll leave."

   "Here" i said as i took out the sweet from my mouth. He still won't take it. "What again?" I asked, a little bit pissed off.

"Take it back, and lemme have it through your lips."

"Yaa Allah! You really are stubborn sm" i said, as i moved my lips closer to his. We all lost it, as soon as our lips touched eachother. It was warm and beautiful. I loved it.

   "Goodbye. Take care of yourself. Don't look at ladies. I've got a camera behind you."

As soon as it was 2:oopm, i heard the car parked outside. And Maama was the first to come inside. Her lunch box in her hand.

"Amished you mom" she said. Hugging me so tight "i lav you kinji" she added.

    "I love you more princess."

Its weekend, and we always spend weekends with our parents. We visited mai kunu first. She looked at us with pride in her eyes. Yea. I know. She's proud of us.

    "Dad" naseer called Arfaat "i don't love this old woman anymore. She's too old and chew kolanuts."

"What?" We both asked surprised.

   "I said i don't love mai kunu anymore!" He said shouting on top of his voice.

"Kai! Aurenmu auren zobe ne". Mai kunu said smiling.

    "I still don't love you anymore" he said.

"But she loves you son" Arfaat said chuckling.

  "Lemme have the car keys dad" he said looking serious.

"Car keys?" Arfaat asked surprised.

    "Yes dad. I want to go outside and wait for you all. I don't want to be looking at her old face". We burst out laughing.

Hajiya Azumi was hell loosed, she has gotten old the more. Her rigima added.

    "Arfaat my husband."

"Who's your husband? No no please. I belong to juwai only" he said hugging me and placing a hot and warm kiss on my lips.

     "Kajimun yan tselen uwa! A gaban nawa kuke iskanci."

"Just tell me if you want it. I can beg him to kiss you". Juwai said grinning.

   "Kinci gidanku" she said, as she smacked me on my laps.

"Dad! Dad!. Grandpa is calling you both".

. Naseer called from the doorway. And off we go.

Alhamdulillah. My life is full of happiness once again. I realized that not all things are settled using revenge. I would've loosed arfaat now if not for yaa junayd's big heart. I respect him a lot for that sacrifice. I, who hate a poor man now lives with one. I, who lack respect for elders now give everyone his deserved respect. What more could i ask for? Nothing! Alhamdulillah for everything.

And it ends here. You might have come across loads and lots of errors and i know you all have. I am not a perfect writer, but i do hope you all enjoyed this fictional story.
