EPILOGUE

HUSNAH

THREE YEARS LATER

"Salima" i called out "come and carry this brother of yours. I still have lotta work to do and he thinks now is just the right time to start his rigima".

"Coming Ummi" she called back. I was standing by the kitchen island, with khaleed in my left hand, while the right hand is already dipped into a mixed dough. This boy is going to drive me nuts real soon! Damn. 

"Kawoshi" Salima said stretching her hands towards him.

"Here . You guys can go to the garden and have fun. No matter how he cry, don't bring him back till i call you guys in. Where's Amirah?"

"She's in the living room watching moana" salima replied as i gave her khaleed. She gave out a loud cry which i felt right through my brain!. Damn khaleed! Why do you have to be stubborn?.

"Go Dear. Don't mind his wails, you can stuff him up with Pringles and any other thing he likes, just keep him with you till am done over here. Am already late for everything. Damn!".

"I will ummi. Just take care please and stop stressing yourself this much. Papi loves you all thesame, with or without the anniversary cake"

. She said as she kissed my left hand which is now free "I love you Ummi" she added before she left.

I felt my eyes moist up and i know I'll be crying any moment from now. This girl never ceased to Amaze me which each passing day, not for once, i repeat not for once has she ever looked at me like am not her real mom. She respects and loves me as much as her dad. I'm one hell of a lucky wife!.

"I love you too habibaty".  I mused to myself before focusing on my work.

Its been four years since i Married Abu Amirah, and today, being 27 August 2017, its marked four years. I was planning for a surprise anniversary party for us, only I and salima knew about it.....oh! And least i forgot, fareedah also knows about it and is helping me from her home. We've become kinda close this past few years, even thou.... I feel weird when i see nabeel and does not always feel comfortable with him around....but am still trying to cope.

"Here" i said giving fareedah my necklace "help me please".

"Sure sweedie" she said as she fixed the necklace. "Maa shaa Allah...you look breathtaking. I can't wait to see Your hubby's expression". She chuckled.

"Lol. See you...thank you for everything swediee. Nagode, Allah bar zumunci" i said hugging her.

"Don't worry dear. I'll take salima and Amirah with me, but I'll be leaving your dan rigima for you".

"Haba mana....go with him".

"Noooo  hold your thing. He's not my son nikam".

SADEEQ

I parked the car in the parking lot, surprised for not seeing my family waiting for me by the doorstep. Is she occupied with something that she forgot about me? But she should have heard the sound of the car when i drove in. I heaved a sigh and strolled down to the door. And  as soon as my head pop inside the living room, i just knew something is different!.

"As salaamu alaikoom" i salaamed but got no response.

My eyes then fell on a cardboard paper, on with where words written in italics...."follow the rules"  what the hell is happening? I looked beside it and my eyes caught up with arrows showing towards my room. I smiled and walked into my room, only to find it beautifully arranged with lots of red petals of roses on bed. The room smell heaven....I'll do anything just to have this smell permanent with me. 

On a couch lying beside me, was a black trouser and a green shirt.

"Take a hot shower yaa Abu Amirah and wear this cloths. Don't spoil the fun....I'll be watching you with my other eye. Kisses".

I couldn't help but smile, what is Husnah planning?. I took shower and got dressed in the clothes before going out again. But what i saw this time around hitched up my breath, my eyes grew wide and i couldn't believe what am seeing. Is she the one?

By Allah, i know am blessed and she has always been my source of happiness... My habibaty daa'iman. Her smile, just her smile makes my feel like am the luckiest guy in the universe, my heart clutched and my love for her increases. She was standing by the TV stand with a remote in her hand.

And john legend's song (All of me) erupted from the speakers.

What will i do without your smart mouth
Drawing me in and you kicking me out
You've got my head spinning
No kidding, i can't pin you down
What's going on in that beautiful mind
I'm on your magical mystery ride
And am so dizzy don't know what hit me but I'll be alright
My head's under water but I'm breathing fine
You're crazy and I'm out of my mind

"Welcome home" she said slowly..her thumb trailing softly along my jaw. "You...you..look...."

"You look breathtaking" i cut her off "i just can't seem to take my eyes off you" i added.

"I love you Abu Amirah"

Cause all of me
Loves all of you
Love your curves and all your edges
All your perfect imperfections
Give your all to me
I'll give my all to you
You're my end and my beginning
Even when i lose am winning
Cause i give you all of me
And you give me all of you

"Ever since the first day i meet you, you've been nothing but a blessing to me. By Allah umm Amirah, YOU ARE THE BEST THING THAT HAS EVER HAPPENED TO ME. I not being selfish here...but i always thank Allah that nabeel didn't get to fall in love with you....and only I being the lucky champ got to have everything about you. Your love, your heart, your body and soul. I'll forever love and cherish you Umm Amirah". I said slowly, cupping her face in my big hand.

how many times do i have to tell you
Even when you're crying you're beautiful too
The world keeps beating you down
And I'm around through every mood
You're my downfall
You're my muse
My worst distraction
My rhythm and blues
Can't stop singing
Its ringing in my head for you

"I don't know if i have the perfect words to use here Abu Amirah. You're my world, my happiness, my soulmate and my husband in jannah. You've been the perfect husband every lady will ever wish for. Do you know, that every single day, i wake up with new and strange feelings for you? Feelings that touch the heart and let the soul know that someone cares. Feelings that send shivers down my spine and goosebumps appear on my skin...feelings that make my heart do double flips and make the pit of my stomach growl and yearn for so much love. I FALL IN LOVE WITH YOU OVER AND OVER AGAIN WITH EACH PASSING DAYS". She said, tears rolling down her cheeks.

My head's under water
But I'm breathing fine
You're crazy and I'm out of my mind

"Shhhhhh" i shushed her as i place a tender kiss on her forehead "this is the best moment of my life. Nothing, i mean nothing will ever make me forget this umm Amirah....your words are just too perfect for me, and you are also perfect for me. Nothing can ever make me forget you or this words. Can i kiss you on your cheeks? Wet kisses i mean?". I cooed.

"Just hug me tight in your arms first. I want to smell your cologne and feel safe around those big arms".

Cause all of me
Loves all of you
Love your curves and all your edges
All your perfect imperfections
Give your all to me
I'll give my all to you
You're my end and my beginning
Even when i lose am winning
Cause i give you all of me
And you give me all of you

"You smell so good" she said, nuzzling her nose on my chest. I held her tight in my arms, afraid that someone might snatch her from behind.

"You're still that tiny little girl i fell in love with years back. That small little girl who drives me crazy".

cards on the table we're both showing hearts
Risking it all though its hard
Cause all of me
Loves all of you
Love your curves and all your edges
All your perfect imperfections
Give your all to me
I'll give my all to you
You're my end and my beginning
Even when i lose am winning
Cause i give you alllllllllll of meeeee
And you give me alllllllll of youuuuuuu.

"Happy Anniversary Abu Amirah. Today, marks four years of our marriage. And throughout these years, you've been nothing but the best companion and sweetest husband. I wanna grow old with you"

"I wanna die lying in your arms. I wanna be there for you, sharing in everything you do. I wanna grow old with youuuu".  I sang slowly before capturing her lips and crushing mine on them. Making sure that, this...will be her best kiss ever. "I love you soulmate".

"I love you more cupcake".

HUSNAH

"Okay guys! Let me get all this straight i said looking at my brothers "you mean to tell me that Hamma Naseer has gotten a girl of his dream and will soon leave the bachelors zone?".

"Yes Angel. Finally the ugly dude has decided to get married". Hamma jabir replied.

"Hummmn! I'm lost in words nikam". Amal said.

It was weekend and i spent most of my Sundays at home or with mama. Mama doesn't even act like a mother in law towards me, she always treats me like the daughter she gave birth to and i loved her like a daughter should love her mom too.

"Wedding bells". I jumped shouting making khaleed who was sleeping peacefully on the couch beside me squirm and wake up with a cry. Damn!

"O come on baby". I cooed him "momma is sorry please, go back to sleep pleaseeeee".

"I pray he has woken up kenan. You are such a careless momma". Amal said rolling her eyes.

Have i told you guys that she has tow kids now? Both boys and also twins!.

"Weldon good momma" i huffed strapping khaleed on my back "now back to the wedding plans. I'll handle the dinner stuff". I said all giddy.

"No! That's my part. Amal shouted.

"I'll do it this time around". I said

"Hamma jabir!" She whined.

"Am not in the mood for your small fights. Count me out of it little one".

"I am a mother of two kids and you still call me little one? Oh lord! When will i ever grow to these people here?". She said rolling her eyes before picking khaleed from my hands and hopping upstairs.

"You're always the little one here sis. And I'm an Angel!". I shouted behind her and just in time, the most stubborn kid I've ever seen came in. Amirah!

"Ummi" she called out, her hand dirty with clay "i want my make up kit?" She asked innocently

"Its at home. What are you doing? Look at your hands Amirah!".

"But i was cooking for hassan. He is my husband and i want to make up my face the way you do when daddy is coming back from office". She said, looking as innocent as she always have been.

Jesus of Nazareth 
Muhammed of mecca! 

Amirah! Na shiga uku ni Asmaa'u! this girl won't be the end of me in shaa Allah.

"Whaat?!" i asked her shocked.

"We are playing outside and Addah salima said i am his wife. So now he has gone to work and j want to look beautiful for him before he comes back. I already cooked tuwo for him". She said again, smiling like a loon.

Na shiga miliyan!

"Is that how your ummi use to do at home?" Hamma khaleel asked trying so hard to hold his laughter.

"Yes uncle. She'll cook delicious food and will look all beautiful for Dad". She replied.

"Really? And did she use to hug him?" He asked again.

"Yes yes uncle. He always hug her before hugging us". She said, but now she looks sad.

"Owww....that's too bad of daddy" Hamma jabir purred joining Hamma khaleel.

"So he hugs her before hugging you and Addah Salima?" Hamma khaleel continued

"Hamma!" I yelled turning all red before running out of the living room. I'll have to talk to Abu Amirah about this. What if i do kiss him and do all other things to him in their presence? Damn! Kids of nowadays! Or is it parents of nowadays? I don't even know!.

NABEEL

Alhamdulillah for my life now. Husnah forgave me and everything is now a bygone.... My only concern now is for fareedah, she believe she can't give birth even thou she once had a miscarriage, but after that miscarriage.... Nothing came up again. And this past few days, she seemed lost and depressed.

I was sitting in the living room, holding a mug of coffee and going through some files when i saw fareedah, coming out of her room smiling and all giddy.

"Baby"  she called out before jumping up on me, tears all over her face.

"Hey! What's wrong?" I asked worried

"Baby. Baby i love you and thank you for sticking by me and never giving up on me". she said, still crying before giving me a pregnancy test tube. My heart beat increased and i was afraid to look at it.

Positive!

"We are pregnant reedah!" I said jumping up with her in my arms "I'm going to be a daddy". I said still holding her in my arms.

"You're going to be a daddy again". She said slowly "we have Amirah remember?".

"For me, this is the first. Amirah is more like sadeeq's daughter and not mine. Alhamdulillah....I'm so so Happy My reedah.

"To Allah be the glory!".

SADEEQ

It was an early saturday morning, the sun shone brightly through the drapes of the kitchen window as i busied my self into making pizza for breakfast with tapioca. Yum! I love tapioca!.

"Humph" i heard her small smile as she hug me from behind "its good to have a husband who can cook".

"And its good to pamper your wife once in a while and make her feel happy. Where are my bunch of happiness?" I asked as i kissed her nape.

"Mmmmmnnn....up in their room. Khaleed went back to sleep. What can i help you with?". She asked.

"I only want you to sit down here" i said, putting her up on the kitchen island "And shower me kisses any time you feel like and keep telling me how much you love me. That's all i want".

"And that's all you get". She said, a she circled her hands around my neck and gave me a kiss of my life.

"I love you so very very much Abu Amirah".

"And i love you more Umm Amirah". I replied between breath.

Trapped in a jungle is now officially sealed. Thank you so very much for everything. Saduwaan Alkhairii.
With love
