42. Wedding Fatiha
She was scared, very scared. But that wouldn't stop her from trying to enjoy her day. This was not a wedding she was looking forward to, but she had to prove Abubakar wrong, she was going to prove him wrong even if she had to plaster fake smiles on her small face and laugh at silly jokes. She was going to act like a teenager getting married for the first time to the man of her dreams. She was going to act as happy as possible.
"In an hour, you'll officially be Mrs AbdulRasheed. OmiGod, it really is happening." Samirah gushed happily as she applied the last touch of makeup to Zeenah's eyes.
She was sitting in front of her mum's large mirror, and despite her face not showing it, she was terrified. What would her stay with AbdulRasheed be like? What is he like? Can they cope with each other for the time being? Will things really work out their way?
Her face didn't give away the turmoil she felt inside, how she had been able t

She read the message again one last time and found herself smiling at the words he had written. He had just complimented her despite everything, and she had no idea why she flushed despite being all alone in the room. She covered her face with both of her hands that had been decorated with beautiful henna decoration and giggled again. Finally, she decided to reply back to his text.'Oh, thanks for the compliments. Guess you just finally decided to notice, but I've always been beautiful, Mr AbdulRasheed.'Okay, that sounded pretty lame even to her. So she decided to send another text. 'I suggest you look as good as I do, so we can complement each other. See you later, Zeenah's new cold hunk husband.'She giggled, and she knew the text would be funny even to the second party. But this was her trying to be as funny as she could. As happy as she could muster. Yes, this was her big day, and she wasn't going to
Broken Within 44. His Mrs
The mosque ground was filled to the brim with people, all of which were there to witness the wedding Fatiha of AbdulRasheed and Zeenah. He was happy, despite the wedding not what he was looking forth to. But there was this beautiful sensation as being referred to someone's husband. He was now Zeenah's husband.He smiled again as he shook hands with his father-in-law, and then his friends, whom most of them were able to attend the wedding. Not only that, but they also wore identical clothes. A blue caftan paired with black caps and dark glasses. He was proud of them, of what they did. They depict the northern aura around them, and nothing could've made him happier.Consciously, he took his phone out of his white Babban riga and peered at the picture on his phone for the hundredth time now, and wondered, why in the world he was still looking at the picture, or why he still found the picture as beautiful as he does. Something was definitely w

Her breath clamped for a moment, and she felt as though she had gulped a pill of emotions deep into the pit of her stomach. The shock she felt was real, so real that it startled her and she quickly looked away from him and try to pry her hand away from his tight grip. But hold on, why in the world was it possible for a man to have a soft, yet hard hand like his?Despite her tries, AbdulRasheed refused to let go of her hand, instead, he clutched it more in his and adjusted his sitting position, making sure he was sitting close enough.She blushed furiously as Samirah hopped into the front seat and smiled at the scene she had seen. Why was he trying so hard to unsettle her, she wondered. As the car rolled away, she kept her gaze fixed on her side and stopped trying to pry her hands away from his.The cologne he had used was doing wonders to her, and she thought it was okay to close her eyes, inhale the scent deeply and give
Broken Within 46? Day One
She woke up with groan, her head pounding from the exhaustion. She laid on her bed, her eyes gazing on the POP above her. It took her quiet a moment to realize that she was in her new home, on her new bed and in her new room! How iconic!Groaning loudly once more, Zeenah sat up, her eyes surveying the large beautiful room decorated in her favorite colour. Purple. She smiled at the memory of when the Samirah was pestering her on what colour she likes despite knowing what it was. The room was painted in purple and white. Plain white curtains with touches of purple on the window. Almost everything in the room has a touch of purple mixed with white. Samirah really did work some wonders with decorating the room.She pushed to the edge of the bed, wore her shoes, and walked out to survey the rest of the house. She was wearing a plain red sleeping gown with little touches of flowers on it. It is a sleeveless sleeping gown and Ze

"You won't believe me! Despite all that show he made out there, the man still had the guts to tell me he'll never be interested in me! Me, of all the people he could say that to, AbdulRasheed chose to say those words to me." She paused a little from rambling into the phone and inhaled a deep breath. "Who in the flipping hell does he think he is?" She seethed angrily.It's been five days already, but she was yet to forget what had transpired between them. When his younger sister had visited two days back, AbdulRasheed had acted as though he was totally and actually In love with her, and it had annoyed Zeenah as much as the game excited her.She was sitting in her new living room, her legs stretched on the glass centre table before her. A plate of rice and stew on it and a cup of chilled tiger nut drink. She had already started cooking and refused to get food fro

Their foreheads were still resting against each other, when Zeenah finally opened her eyes. She stared at him with the same intensity he was staring at her. She felt her knees suddenly jiggle and shake beneath her. "That...that was...""Intense?" AbdulRasheed breathed softly, his thumb grazing her lower lip once more. "I guess so." He added, kissing her softly again.Zeenah had no idea what was happening, or why she was allowing this to happen, but she was enjoying this as much as he was. "Ohhh..." she began but quickly kept quite when AbdulRasheed suddenly let go of her. He moved back, a cynical smile playing across his lips."You liked it?" he asked smugly. He knew he had enjoyed what had just happened, way more than Zeenah had. But he wasn't going to give her the pleasure of knowing that. Wasn't she

It's been ten days since he had last set his eyes on her, ten days since their last encounter, ten days since he had kissed her. That single kiss that had him unnerved for days, And today, they've been married for fifteen days already. Yet, nothing had changed, Zeenah still avoids him.He sighed deeply as he eased his car into his parents' house, it was past Isha and he had just said his prayers in the mosque nearby before he decided to go see his parents.He had no idea how he can be able to get through Zeenah, her phone was not going through, which means that she might have probably blocked his number because he sometimes do hear her laughing from her room which was directly across his. He had tried timing so he could trap her when she was coming out of the room. But that had seemed impossible because Zeenah totally seems to disappear when he was around. All she does was drop little notes by his food on the dining table asking after his

She applied the last detail of her makeup, a fruity scented lip balm. Smacking her lips together, Zeenah gazed at her reflection in the large mirror before her. She was wearing a peach Ankara with flowery touches of black, and she wondered why in the world she had bothered about details like that, why she was actually wearing clothes with the color he had suggested. Wasn't she supposed to say no? Or maybe, refuse to follow his command and wear what she wants? But, who was she kidding, she definitely does want to see his expression when he actually sees she was wearing what he had asked.She stood up, draped the black veil she had kept on the bed, picked up her black bag and wore her black shoe, before looking into the mirror once more. Her lips spread conspicuously in a beautiful smile at what she was seeing. A strong woman willing to fight it all for her sanity to return and find happiness once more, that was what she saw w
