MAYBE, JUST MAYBE

MESSAGE

"MARYAM!" He called out pulling her legs out of the place. He was too scared to say the least. He searched her to see if there's any injury

"Hey Mr man! Why would you pull me out of my perfect reading spot?"

"Huh! Are you okay? Reading spot? Under the table?"

"Yes or is it a crime?" he watched her eat her biscuit and dump it back in a bowl of ketchup

"Wait the traces of Blood I saw... Do you mean it's ketchup?"

"Oh I messed the kitchen with ketchup right? Sorry. I was just trying a new mix. Ketchup and biscuit. Hey look at your face you look like a monster" She busted out laughing looking at him and even imitating his looks. He knew she did this on purpose just to scare him and unfortunately she succeeded

"You went ahead scaring me for nothing and now you are even laughing at me"

"It's a payback" She laughed harder but funny of it instead of him to be angry at her, 
He smiled

Maryam has too much effect on him which he doubts someone has. Whenever he's angry, he stares at her baby face and he feels alot better. He loves everything about her. Her innocent  yet creepy face, breathtaking wink, sweet lovely smile, creepy heart everything!

"Do you know that My heart beats for you Maryam?"

"Chai! My heart beats for myself woo" She said raising her hand in a teasing manner

"Ouch!" He said smiling

The smile that always melts her heart, increase the speed rate of heart, the smile that has too much effect on her

"I know so many things happened but still our hearts are detached close and let me lie small, my heart beats for you" She replied giggling.

"That is the most sincere lie I've ever heard"

"A lie can never be sincere. It's either a lie or sincere" She pecked his lips and ran away leaving him rooted to his spot

For sure she has too much effect on him

They decided to go for shopping for the 10th time since they came to this country. He wonder how they would cope with all those stuffs. Since they are leaving tomorrow, they visited to many places and probably, this would be the last

"Bul how did you see this" They agreed to call themselves with their wedding hashtag
Maryam and Abdullah- Maabul

So he calls Maryam maa  while she calls him Bul. Crazy right? Well this couples are always the craziest couples you'd come across

Abdullah turned around and his eyes fell on the most beautiful girl he has ever seen. The Abaya looks too good on her

"This is too Good to be true! My heart is Octave faster beats" He mumbled to himself which Maryam laughed at his incoherent words. He didn't even know she was doing so she slapped him slightly on his cheek making him snap back from his revive

"Thatbincoherent sentence huh?"

"Oh I said something?" He asked absently

"No you recited something" came her sarcastic reply. She went back into the changing room and changed into another one

"What about this?"

"Nah! change it"

She rolled her eyes and went back changing into another. They picked so many things for themselves and their loved ones. Maryam made sure to dig a hole in Abdullah's account which he didn't even care
They paid and came out of the shop

"Don't you think I should try a little bit of Makeup?" She asked with enthusiasm. She has never applied make up in her whole life but she decided to

"You think so?"

"Yes pleaseeeee!" She plead

"Okay then we shall see how the makeup would look on you"

•••

"And done!" The makeup artist concluded letting her see her face

"Is this really me? You mean this is me?"

"Yup you look so Masha Allah" The woman replied smiling flashing her dimples which Maryam some how wished she has. She paid the woman and went out to where Abdullah sat on a patio

"How do I look?" She asked fluttering her eyes lashes

"Excuse me  please am waiting for my wife" He replied Turing his head sideways

"It's me bul" He turned hastily because of the name she called him with and he couldn't believe his eyes is this really Maryam he's seeing?!  What!

"You look, awesome, fabulous, elegant, Charming, Masha Allah, cute, gorgeous, pretty, wonderful Whaaaat!!!" He said all in one breath and for once he didn't remove his eyes on her. She only smiled fiddling with her fingers

"What! Don't tell me you are this one" Jawahir said trying to look at the pictures again. Abdullah took her so many pictures and she sent some part of them to Muna and Jawahir

"it's a video call banza.  If you leave here to see the pictures again the call would cut

"katuma! If you see how this make up looks fine on you ko! You would prostrate and thank Allah. What! So my Yaya(sister) fine like this!"

After their video call, their flight was called out and they flew back to Abuja Nigeria

The biggest and stupid thing Maryam doesn't want to remember is that she's resuming to school

•••

After their Arrival, Maryam sat on a chair in the waiting Area waiting for Abdullah who left to do only God knows. She spotted a Woman whoose figure looked nothing but like Doctor Safeena's

"Doctor Safeena!" She called again and again. She stood up to approach the woman but her phone buzzed. She scrunched her face as she saw it was a message from an unknown number
"I know the secret you are trying to unveil"
She read the message over and over so she she raised her head only for her to see that Dr Safeena is gone

"Dr Safeena! " She heard a voice calling her name over and over. She didn't turn because she recognised the voice. She quickly shoved her hand into her pocket as her phone buzzed

"I know the secret you are trying to unveil" She read the message out but gasped as she understood the message. She quickly went on her heels and left the place
