Salamu alaikum my loves,how have you all been?
Ya school,work or is it zaman gida?
I'm so sorry for going MIA, school has been chockingggggg but Alhamdulillah.
I've been wanting to make an update no matter how short the chapter will be butter y'know Writer's block *chuckles with tears*
*MUJE*!!!
FAROUK'S POV
How fast time flies! It's been five months and a week since I left home.Not exactly saying I almost died out of boredom because I have been so occupied, it's always me being at the construction site giving orders up and down Mama has been pestering me to come back home and I don't know how best to start explaining to her that it's not something I can leave them to do on their own.
Three more weeks and I'll be out of this hell hole.
Now let's skip to the heartbreaking part.
My Rabi'ah!
I can't even count the number of times that I've dialled her number and before it rang,ended it.
Sending her texts is a no-go area for some stupid reasons of mine even though I've left tons of drafts.
I don't need her to love me back, although I know I'm lying to myself.I hope the love I have to contain us both keeps blooming like flowers during spring.
I need her attention and acceptance to go ahead but giving her time to heal from Umma's demise is of upmost importance at the moment.
Everything is just so complicated,gosh!

"Malama Rabi'ah kenan.Da zaki amince da zancen dana miki da naji matuqar dadi wallahi.
...Idan kin yarda sai kiban daman zuwa ganin mutan gida."
He says shining his Kola nut brown teeth.
It was her Qur'an teacher,Mallam Tasi'u,after the Qur'an class,he asked to meet her outside.
She knew she wasn't in any kind of trouble but she still didn't want to hear what he had in mind,just for her to listen to the meaningless words of his.
Everyone knows Mallam Tasi'u and his love for girls.He is married to two wives and eleven kids with five of them schooling in the same islamiyya he teaches at.
Life has just been so chocking for Rabi'ah.From thinking about what to start up as a business,Umma's death that still hurts like it just happened anddddd...the proposal that doesn't pique her interest and she still can't say no to,...
Talking about marriage proposal,it has been the most unsettling in her life right now.She stays with people that have taken her in with her mother and brother like their family.Few months back when she fell sick due to stress,a doctor,a friend of Doctor Basheer Khaleel took interest in her.She can't even remember his face well to save her life but well, Hajiya,her highness,called her two months ago asking whether she was seeing someone which she replied with a "No" immediately making her to chuckle.
*FLASHBACK*
'Baba Asabe please kiramin Rabi' and after a few minutes,she came to the parlour sitting by her highness' leg.
"Tashi a gurin Rabi,dan Allah zauna kan kujerar.I can't even remember the number of times I have asked you to sit on the chair,this is also your house,yaya nake a gurin ki.
So I've been meaning to talk to you but naga you were still recuperating nace I'll give you space.
Do you remember the doctor that came to this house to check-up on you? Toh shine yazo da wani babban zance,and I believe giving him a chance is going to be good.He requested to give you enough time to think it through.
Yaro mai hankali ne shi gaskiya,kuma You guys will make a good pair,In sha Allah.
Ki nutsu and think about it carefully, you're not under pressure and don't feel bad even if you're going to turn down his proposal.
Amma...yanada aure.He has a lovely wife,he got married six years ago but yet to have a baby...
Rabi'ah has heard all she said hht she's never been put in a tight spot like today.She's so confused.
She can't even say " NO" to her or the family in all.
This marriage proposal she'd say is an escape,if she accepts she believes she's going to lessen the burden she's placed on them even though they're not complaining and if she says no, it's going to be like she's ungrateful.
She can't reject their only request.
...Yanzu dai you've enough time,as I've said no one is going to force you into doing anything.Aure is a life time commitment"
Up until she finished,she kept nodding at every question asked.
"Nagode" she said and scurried out of the parlour.
Dr.Imran Basheer,a half-caste,that grew up in Kano.His dad a wealthy man hailing from Ibadan and his mum a doctor from Russia.
He is the perfect definition of a Handsome Yoruba Demon, standing 6'9ft with broad shoulders,a strong jawline,dark brown eyes like bottomless pools and a firm, straight nose,his lips plumpy and the dimples adding more fineness to his masculine features.
His tan sjjn giving the rich people vibe.
He is a thirty-one year old doctor married to his beautiful wife,Azeeza.
He first saw Rabi'ah when he went to meet his friend whom is also his colleague,Dr.Basheer Khaleel at his brother's house one Saturday evening.
One thing that made attracted him to her was her manners.
Manners they say make a woman.She had just came back from islamiyya and met them standing just standing outside the gate and the way she greeted them both without looking up to them.
It made him feel something strange and at the same time un strange.
"Rabi'ah ya iso"
"Tamm gani nan".she was wearing a brown and blue atampa skirt and blouse with a matching big blue veil.No make-up added just lipgloss and kohl.
She doesn't think she's ever been this nervous to meet someone all her life,not even him.
Stepping out of the room to the visitor's parlour,she stood just by the entrance taking in deep breaths and the lingering scent of his perfume.
Wasting about three to four minutes,she stepped in with a "salamu alaika"on her lips,her gaze down.
"Wa'alaikas Salam"he answered looking up from his phone with a smile on his face.
He was handsomely dressed in a sky-blue Uwa Gambari paired with an ash Zannah bukar cap.
"Shigo mana ki zauna" he told her seeing as she was still standing by the door.
"I see you have a thing for keeping your gaze down,Masha Allah"he said with a light chuckle.
She felt so embarrassed and still couldn't meet his gaze.
With love,
Zubayda💕

This chapter is completely what I don't know, I'm completely stuck between not writing this book again and updating to make it up to you guys.
The English isn't even making sense wallahi 💔and I'm feeling so stupid right now, I'm going crazy🥺💔
This writing isn't as it looks like, I never saw it like that before I started till I actually did.
One needs to settle down and think about the story from the beginning down till the end and ni one the other hand,*sighs and chuckles with tears*
Sorry for ranting,byeeee💔
