Mine

Chapter 69

I chuckled "yes I did"

Please how can I forget to feed my own child

Kai Umar

"When are you two coming back?" He asked

I laughed "Umar we spoke about this yesterday, In 30 days" I said as I adjusted Aliya's cap which was falling off

"That's a month, it's too much" he murmured

"It'll come before you notice" I said

"Immediately after these 30 days you aren't adding a single day"

I laughed at him as I looked up "Ok Alhaji, Baban Ali"

He smiled down at me before he leaned down and he placed a kiss on my lips

I closed my eyes and when I opened them he was still smiling at me

I chuckled "why are smiling so much today"

"I'm happy, it's my daughter's naming ceremony, why won't I smile"

I laughed "Tohh, masu daughter"

He laughed but he stopped midway when we heard a crash coming from outside the compound which startled Aliya

Umar held her up as he placed her on his shoulder as he tried to shush her

I was surprised on how he took care of Aliya like she was his 10th child or something

He knew how to take care of her

He even knows how to carry her better than me, to be honest

But I guess he learnt all that with his sister Aliya

She stopped crying and held her up before placing a gentle kiss on her tiny forehead

I could not explain how I was feeling at this moment, seeing them together makes me so freaking happy

I turned to the window to see where the sound came from

Umar's eyes followed mine

"I see they have started setting up the canopies" he said

"Yes" I replied

"Are you coming over later?" I asked as I turned to him

He scrunched his face up knowing very well that there will be a lot of people there

I laughed

"I don't think so"

I pouted "haba mana" (C'mon)

He smiled a little before he shook his head

"We were supposed to take pictures" I said

He looked at me for some time before he sighed "na ji, I'll come" (I've heard)

I grinned "yawwa Toh" (Good)

The door opened and I turned to look at Rumaisa coming in

"Mummy tacheh in kawo ta mata wanka" (Mummy said I should bring her so she can bathe her) she said

I nodded and Umar gave Aliya to Rumaisa

She collected her and she left closing the door behind her

He looked at his watch "I'm supposed to meet Daddy in 20 minutes, I have to leave now"

I nodded in understanding "ok Toh"

He stoop up dragging me up with him

I hugged him placing my head on his chest and he wrapped his arms around me
