One Minute: Hausa Love Story

OM 21

On the authority of Abi Amr - and it also said Abi Amrah - Sufyan ibn Abdillah (may Allah be pleased with him) who said:
"I said, "O Messenger of Allah, tell me a statement about Islam such that I will not have to ask anyone other than you". He answered, "Say, I believe in Allah and then stand firm and steadfast to that".

"I'm giving you five minutes to finish up, if not I'm going to drag you out like that" Hafsat hissed tapping her foot in impatience.

"I'm coming" Aysha said annoyed. She tried not to blink as she applied the eyeliner, Hafsat has been bugging her for over thirty minutes, they were supposed to be out of the house since, before the ladies bringing the lefe arrived but Aysha kept on wasting their time as she tried to perfect her makeup.

"I'm done" she sighed rolling her eyes. She linked her hands with Hafsat's dragging her out of the house being careful to avoid Hajiya Iya on the way.

"Where are we going now?" She asked Hafsat as they made their way to the car.

"Shopping" Hafsat said when they entered the car, smirking she wore her sunglasses. Shopping in other words shop until you drop dead.

"OK" she shrugged, she too shared the same passion with shopping like her sister.

"I thought you said we were going to shopping" she asked confused looking at the sign in front of her.

What has shopping got to do with the hospital?

"Yes but this is simply a detour" she asked as they made their way through the door of the hospital.

"Hajiya Iya said to bring you here so you could do your test, pretty useless if you ask me, what's the use after all the arrangements are done with, yarda hajiya Iya ta kwallafa rai banga abunda zai tsayar da aurennan ba" she rolled her eyes.

"OK so has he done his yet?" She asked slightly uninterested.

"Who's he? Oh don't tell me you're one of those wives who don't call their husbands with their names instead they keep saying he" she tilted her head up letting out a hearty laugh.

"Anyways since you're clearly dying to hear about him let me tell you" she said as they rounded a corner.

"Oh here he is sef, the answer to your question" she motioned to him with her hand.

Fahad was standing together with Umar, clearly they were waiting for them. Hafsat skipped to her husband, enveloping him in a hug and then she kissed his cheek.

"I missed you baby" she buried her face in his chest her voice coming out muffled.
"Yeah we all get it, you don't have to act like a depraved panda" Aysha dryly commented folding her hand across her chest, as she tried her best to ignore Fahad.

"Jealous? Just start the countdown in less than two weeks you'll be able to do this too"

Aysha glared at her as she tried her best to suppress the blush that was creeping up to her neck.

"I can't believe you're scared of needles, I thought it went away" she smirked.

"Who wouldn't be, with those sharp ass needles" he frowned.

"Later on you'll try to act all so macho when just a minute ago you were crying out loud because of a needle, pity" she shook her head as she teased him.
