Ikhlas POV.
I was having a peaceful Afternoon nap when the shrill ringing of my phone ripped that peace away from me. I reluctantly picked it up with a groggy Salam.
"Hey woman!! Get ur lazy ass out of that bed am coming to pick you up in 10 minutes we need to go for shopping".
She basically screamed at me from the other side of the line. " Better be all ready before I get here woman" she added, ending the call.Oh gracious Lord! Haneefah is a pain in the ass. But I love her anyway.
Yes! Am still in Kano because Haneefah managed to blackmail me into staying for one more week. Have I ever told you that she is a pro in emotional blackmailing? If not then I am now.
I lazily got out of bed, showered, prayed Zuhr and got ready in an Atamfa gown with veil and shoes to match. Didn't want to carry my purse along because am basically going for window shopping bu
Ikhlas POV.Things have been progressing well between khaleel and I, The physiotheraphy guy I exchanged contacts with last week.For Your Information am back to Ibadan after so much complaints by mom. I have become really good friends with him and he is quite fun to be with. I miss my peaches though.Well fawaz and Abbas are home for holidays which means more fun. "The more the merrier" we say, But unluckily less sleep, less alone times and too much noise.Oh yeah! Delilah's wedding is in a week time and she chose me as her bridesmaid which means I'll be leaving for New York then. Which am so happy about."Sis tell fawaz to give me back my comic book" Abass yelled, barging in and storming out without waiting for me to even access the situation."This kids ehh! You guys won't be the death of me" I muttered.I prayed Asr and decided to log
Ikhlas POVI left for Delilah's wedding and as planned, I have to get to Lagos first before taking a flight to New York.Khaleel was also in Lagos for a conference so he'll be the one to see me off. I got to the place we were to meet and thankfully he was there before me."Hey dollface! Good morning" he greeted with that signature smirk evident on his face."Hi" I greeted back, hopping in his car and we zoomed off." Am literally starving so can we branch any restaurant?" He asked focousing on his driving." Well my stomach also needs to have it fill" I replied chuckling.We got to the restaurant and we both ordered fries and chicken.I slowly munched on my food as he did with his. It was awfully quiet and I noticed that he was kind of tensed.We finished our meal and I offered to pay for it but he strongly decline
Haneef POV. I sat close to her, taking her hands in mine, my eyes glued to her petite statue; Her chest rising and falling, coupled with her low but audible breaths. I watched as the fluid from the IV drip trickled down into her veins causing me to heave another exasperated sigh. It's been three goddamn hours since she blacked out and she is still not regaining consciousness. Tears stung my eyes as I continue to suppress those emotions viciously tugging at my heartstrings.I am the world's meanest guy right? Yeah I know that. Am starting to hate myself, I shouldn't have done this no matter what. I should have begged mom more, maybe this wouldn't have happened. As a result of what I did, here is my Haneefah lying on a hospital bed. I can't even call her parents cause I don't know how to explain the reason why she fainted to them. Everything is ju
Haneefah POV. I worm my way through the mass of bodies congregating at the entrance of Aminu Kano Teaching Hospital, sighing in irritation. Am late for work and it seems like no one is in a hurry to get to his/her own business. Figure that.Yeah! After much persuasion, I was allowed to continue going to work, promising them that I'll be fine.Actually staying at home wouldn't have helped me in any way. Infact staying at home would definitely keep me psychologically deranged. I just have to keep myself busy by doing what I love the most."Oi ! Wasai!"I whip around at the sound of my name, my eyes already narrowed to scold the person who used my last name. The culprit was of course my sunshine.I briskly walked into her arms as she engulfed me into a hug."Why are you here?" I asked her with a wide grin. I swear
Haneefah POV. I stared at the photo in front of me, reminiscing about all our happy moments. He looked so peaceful and genuinely happy in the picture so different from the man he became now. I missed him so much, so very much that every second without him hurts like a thorn stuck in my throat. I felt someone hugged me from behind, stopping my trail of thoughts. Turning around, I smiled at her worried figure. "Ikhee I'll be fine okay" I assured her. She kinda hooked up with that Khaleel guy and she is going on a date with him this evening. "I was looking for you Hanny and here you are staring at your husband's picture. I Know how you feel sunshine but just endure it for some more time and you'll be back to your husband in no time." She said soothingly massaging my hair. " Hey! You have a date this Evening. How do you expect to have a peaceful date if your are this worr
HANEEFAH POV.He kept on crying and I continued to soothingly Pat his back. I have never seen him this vulnerable.Then, I made up my mind. I needed to do what needs to be done.I was about talking when I heard Yaya haneef." Your silence means one thing hanny, you want both and you are having a hard time deciding. So I am going support you as a brother, I realized that am being selfish all these while. I am ready to let you go Haneefah, you also deserve happiness and you shall find it" he said, wiping his tears with a handkerchief."Take a chill pill yaya" I said chuckling. "I know what I want and it's spending the rest of my life with you till death do us apart" I added, finally giving in to the waterworks." For real?" He asked with amusement." Yes Yaya for real. I love you and am okay with having even if it's a tiny p
IKHLAS POV.I thought my ears were starting to fail me, cause I heard her say something similar to my name.I stared at my best friend like she had suddenly grown two heads. I was waiting for her to burst out laughing and admit that she was joking but she looked so dead serious." Wait a sec, I don't get what you are trying to say. I should be the person or I should get the person for you?" I asked her, hoping with all my heart that it would be the latter." Yes Ikhlas. I want you to help me find happiness again, I want you to save my marriage. You are the only person that can do this without an ulterior motive. I don't mind sharing Haneef with you and I don't mind sharing you with haneef.It's a Win - Win situation for us Ikhee, for our friendship. We'll get to be with each other till death do us apart.I know am being selfish Ikhee but i
Ikhlas POV" Never!!!" My mother said, screaming at the top of her lungs. "Shey o fe bami ni oruko je ni? ( Do you want to spoil my reputation?)" She asked bitterly and all I could do was shake my head." Ah Oluwa ooo! Ikhlas iru omo wo lo fe ya? (Oh God! Ikhlas what type of child are you turning out to be?) Shey O fe da Ile eh ru ni? (Do you want to wreck her home) she asked me again and I still couldn't find words to justify what I told her.I looked across at my dad and he gave me a disappointed look." Ikh
