One Minute: Hausa Love Story

OM 33

Ibn 'Abbas, radiyallahu 'anhu, said that the Messenger of Allah, sallallahu 'alayhi wasallam, said:

"Were people to be given according to their claims, some would claim the wealth and blood of others. But the burden of proof is upon the claimant and the taking of an oath is upon the one who denies (the allegation)."

[An excellent hadith which al-Bayhaqi and others have related. Parts of it is in the two Sahih books (i.e. in al-Bukhari and Muslim).]

"I think I'm in love " Aysha sighed, looking at her phone. They were at the breakfast table eating while they both were scrolling through their phones.

"What?" He asked raising his head from his phone.

She showed him a picture in her phone which was of a puppy. A cute shih tzu puppy with fluffy white hair and cute innocent eyes.

"I think I'm going to adopt it" she said tapping her phone "what do you think?" She asked him.

"I think ... No" he said shaking his head.

"Why?" She asked scrunching her nose with a cute frown.

"Just because" he shrugged taking a sip of his shake.

"Party pooper"  she pouted with a roll of her eyes, "wait!.." She exclaimed "..or is it that you're scared of dogs?" She asked with a smirk.

"Who said so?" He scoffed, "I'm off to go get my tux, just get ready by the time I'm back, makeup and all. Which should be in an hour or so" he grabbed his phone from the table and hightailed outside.

Today was the day for the charity gala and fun fair.

"Ok" she said even though she knew she wasn't going to get ready in an hour, which girl could ever do that?

"I'm back!" She heard him shout from downstairs while she was starting up on her makeup an hour later.

"Welcome" she shouted back as she continued her makeup, she heard his footsteps passed her room to the master's. she chose to do her makeup in one of the spare room because she knew he might hoard the mirror when he came back. Sometimes she wonders who's more vain among them.

30 minutes later, he opened the door to her room and entered before he abruptly stopped. "Wait so you're not even ready yet?" He asked, he was already dressed in black jeans with his dark shirt that had the orphanage logo on  while she was still in her robe.

"I'll be ready in a jiffy, in a minute or two. Just go and watch a movie or something" she convinced even though she wasn't even halfway through with her makeup.

❧

"I'm done" she said finally coming down the stairs, after going up to her three more times he was convinced she wasn't going to be done anytime soon so he opted to watch a movie and she came down just as the movie ended and the credits were rolling.
