Her Arrogance ,His Humbleness

Chapter Twenty One

*Sweet moments makes life beautiful*

Hayatee,my unsurpassable momma ,this chapter is for you ,I know you might never read this book but when you do just know that I love you and you're my whole world .

" Is the baby bump visible " that was the first thing Simran said after I picked her call.
" what the jahannam do you mean by baby bump and what brought about it's visibility ?" I asked the laughing Simran incredulously.
" You're so naive and clueless for a girl your age or should I say a soon to be mama?" She's still laughing and I've never hated a sound like I do hate the sound of her evil laughter right now .
" Call me when you're done ,I can't take this anymore " I threw the phone across the room huffing in annoyance . Simran really is crazy ,she was crying yesterday telling me she can't do without Ameer and his mom didn't budge yet ,I was so sad to listen to her say all those things and the worst thing is that Ameer will be forced to live with a wayward girl who had no self respect and esteem ,we've been told that she's even into drugs ,so what kind of a mother will force her son into marrying such type of a girl is beyond me and today the psycho is telling me about baby bump laughing as if she's the happiest being on earth.
Just then Taseer came in and I couldn't help but stare at him imagining a mini me & him ,running around the compound, always smiling like him, I was so lost in the hypothetical world that I didn't realise when Taseer came and sat in front of me looking at me with those dreamy eyes I always get lost whenever I stare into them .
" Take a picture Madame it last longer " he winked at Me and I blushed knowing that if he knew what I was thinking of he will never let me see the light of another day without driving me crazy with his incessant teasing and weird suggestions .
"Why would I ? You're right here in front of me"
"Why would I ? You're right here in front of me " He mimicked me and I couldn't help but laugh .
" Is that how you're going to behave when you become a dad ?" I asked the stupidiest question considering the circumstance and I'm so gonna kill Simran for making me think about having babies in the first place .
" Are you pregnant Manal ?" Taseer asked looking me with so much happiness I don't wanna disappoint him .
" uhhh ummm hmmm armmmm" I kept stammering like I've been caught stealing meat From the pot .
" Please say yes Hayatee you have no idea how much I've prayed for this day ,is that what you were thinking of when I came in?"
" Yahsalam am sorry noory but I don't think am pregnant " then I burst into tears not knowing the reason why .Taseer held me close whispering sweet nothings into my ear until I calmed down .
" Don't cry Manalie ,you know your tears breaks my heart ,I will love you to have our child but I am not in a hurry ,besides the baby will only come when Allah wills it right ? It's not in our power and I am not disappointed just hoping to see a mini us soon " he soothes playing with my hair.
" Are you sure ?" I asked resting my head on his chest feeling his warmth and inhaling the sweetest scent of his perfume mixed with his scent .
" Hundred percent sure babe , let's go put some food in you " with that we went to the dinning to have lunch ,I got up to get more juice from the freezer when my phone beeped and before I could reach out to take it Taseer had already done that he read the message and burst out laughing spilling his food ,Aminah ,Hajia ,Muhammad and I all looked at him as if he has gone mad ,he started coughing and I hurriedly went to him patting his back and giving him a cup of water .Then I saw what made him laugh and embarrassed the living hell outta me .

Like seriously Manalie you should get a pregnancy test ,I had a dream that you're pregnant and mama kept asking me whether you're preggy and I wanna be an aunt real soon.

"I am so gonna kill Simran" I shouted like a mad woman dialling her number while the rest of the breathing beings in the room stare at me like I'm mad and they are right ,I was mad but not at them or psychologically mad,my head Is intact ,just super mad at a certain lady who happens to be my best friend and maybe, just maybe RIP will soon be added to her name .
" What the heck Simran ? Do you know who saw your message and even before it what you made me do ?" I bellowed through the phone, God save Simmy's eardrums that's if they aren't damaged yet .
" Hahaha ,what have I done wrong ? The innocent , cool and sweet angel like me " She cooed and I imagined her with a goofy grin as if she has won a lottery.
" Stop kidding girl ! Am being serious here ,Wallahi Simran you've scatter balanced me today ,do you even have any idea what I told Taseer after your stupid suggestion about baby bump ? "
" Yeah I have an idea ,you imagined having his kids and blurt it out without realising what you've said until the damage was done already "
" Yahsalaaam why are you always like this Simmy "
" am like this with the people I love so be glad that I love you hunny "
" if this is what you call love please hate me Simmy, I don't wanna be loved by you, you should have seen the look on Taseer's face when he taught I am pregnant Simran, it breaks my heart and made me wish with all my heart that I am indeed pregnant"
"Then ,get pregnant " she suggested as if it's the most natural thing to say .
" I have a doubt Simmy, like you've hit your head somewhere and lost your common sense "
" Forget about common sense ,sanity and whatnot ,just bring back a baby to Nigeria by hook or by crook ,gotta go Mama is calling me,Allah hafeez ,take care and bring back the baby" and before I could think of a comeback to give her she's off already and I sat down on a chair in the garden ,hands on chin imagining myself with a child, our child ,my child ,Taseer's child ,there's no doubt he will be a great father but what about me? Am I ready for that kind of commitment, can I raise a child with so much love like the kind of love Abby and Ammy raised me with ? Can I discipline a child according to the dictates of Islam?
" A penny for your thoughts Hayatee" I heard his voice out of the blue not knowing when he came and sat beside me ,this is the second time he found me deep in thought and I know that he knows what I was thinking of .
" No a dollar will do " I retorted with a hint of sadness in my voice .
" I am going to break Simmy's legs the moment I see her "
"Why will you do that " I raised a brow ,he has started to amuse me the way he said it like he meant it and he's harbouring hard feelings for Simran .
"Because she brought up the issue of babies and now my wife is all distant thinking about motherhood"
" Haha! You're funny noory ,who told you that's what I was thinking of ?"
" My heart, my mind ,my body and my soul and because that's the exact thing I've been thinking of right from the moment you asked that question " I looked at him mouth agape and held his hands in mine .
" We will have a baby soon in shaa Allah ,besides it's not even our first anniversary so there is hope" I said making imaginary circles on his palm
"That's what I wanted to hear from you ,so keep the baby thoughts aside and get ready ,I'm taking my wife out on a date ,to help her forget about babies for a while" he helped me up and we walked back into the house beside each other ,and I couldn't help the giddy feeling zinging through me ,I love going on a date with Taseer, a date with him is always the best and I can't get tired of going out with him for the rest of my life .
