Zayyad is the only child of a wealthy business tycoon alhaji kabeer who resides in kano. Him being the only child doesn't make him a brat because he's been given a good background orientation in line with the Islamic principles.

He is a cardiologist and a pious Muslim, he is a little shy and also fun loving. As a Muslim gentleman, marriage is one of his biggest dreams.

His perception about love is for it to be build up in a 'halal' way. Now its his turn to term with his feelings.

All his life he kept himself pure for his faith and his lucky charm. Although have never experienced love and occasionally doubting if he will.

Zayyad's P.O.V

What's about to happen to me? Why do i always think of her? Why do i see her everywhere i go! In my dreams, my place of work, I can't get enough of her image in my head and mind. I tend to find peace when ever i think of her existence! She's taking my breathe away. Could it be love or infatuation?

Ya Allah! Just then he remembered he hasn't prayed his magrib, so he quickly alighted from the car and head towards his parlour.

He quickly went to execute an ablution and prayed. After his prayers, he showered, dress in his pajamas and lay to sleep but couldn't. All he could think of was her, the way she speaks! Her image was all he could possibly see just then his heart began to pound real hard for apparently no reason. He grabbed his cellphone, scroll to her contact number and gave it a stare until he was taken of guide by sleep.

Immediately umma announced our punishment, she dismissed us.

Hyfer you should also go to bed?

Yes she replied holding husna's hand.

*    *    *

Umma!! He called her name softly

Na'am!

I will be going on a pilgrimage in three days time insha Allah and i will like us to go together, from there we'll branch to Australia because I will be having an appointment with muktar group of companies and airlines.

May Allah spare our lives, till then she says affectionately.

Should i ask Karina to come stay with the kids? (umma's younger sister)

No!! She could come check on them but I don't think its gonna be necessary for her to stay, and I will speak to Yusuf (abba's younger brother) to also be checking on them insha Allah.

Ameera and Aisha can manage the house, they could put everyone in check i believe. He implied

No problem then.

*****

I slammed the door when I heard Nancy's melodious voice, which indicate my phone needed an attention, I quickly went to see who was at the other side surprisingly I saw Aisha's number.

Is she ok? I asked my self  before picking.

hello!

Hi sis! How is the grounding with you? She let out a giggle, anyways there isn't any need of asking you as I know you ain't bothered on anyway.

I see you have alot airtime to waste, couldn't you reserve it for something more important? It's already late and besides my day didn't go well with that am saying good night.

she chuckled and said sis i can't sleep

Why?

Because I'm thinking of the person whom doesn't know my love for him exist.

You've really got yourself into a huge problem! I suggest you sleep, it's about time i sleep goodnight once again and don't call me. I didn't wait for her response before i hung the call.

Please sis listen! Could you come online? The silence made her realize the call has ended.

I was about to change into a nighty when my phone made a notification sound. You're a disturbance aisha i muttered while pickinh up the phone to know what the notification was about!! I was surprised to see a message sent by a strange number. who could this be? The message made me quite for a little while, i read it about three times wondering who sent it.

Silence speaks very loudly but it is amazing how you don't take the time to listen, Sometimes one hello makes you never want to say goodbye.
I'm fighting to get you out of my head but I'm holding onto every word that you ever said have a sound sleep habibty..

I was still puzzled trying to figure out who constructed this. It's definitely a guy but i don't remember writing my number to anyone! Could it be one of Aisha's prank? No i nodded in disagreement.

Ohhhh! I remember giving zayyad my number! but he won't be the one behind the SMS, besides we just met and they isn't any thing likeable about ourselves.

ya Allah protect me from who so ever is trying to cause me trouble. With that, I lay on my bed thinking before i dozed off.

Assalat khairun minan naum!!! Right into my ears, I woke up stretch and recite...

" اَلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذي أَحْيَانَا بَعْدَ مَا أَمَاتَنَا وَإِلَيْهِ النُّشُورُ"

Meaning

Alhamdu lillaahil-lathee 'ahyaanaa ba'da maa 'amaatanaa wa'ilayhin-nushoor. 'Praise is to Allah Who gives us life after He has caused us to die and to Him is the return'.

Alhmdulillah for a new day, before proceeding to pray.. I called Aisha on her cell phone to wake her up.

After my prayers, I said my azkar and went back to sleep..

U

mma went to wake husna and hyfer to pray before returning to her room.

Have you woken the children up for prayers? He asked

Yeah and for Ameera and Aisha, if they always wait for us to wake them up, then they deserve to be beating because they are old enough to wake themselves if possible wake everyone.

Alhmdulillah since everyone has prayed he uttered.

Umma was the one who prepared breakfast along with the helpers since I and Aisha were both grounded.

Hyfer! Husna! She calls na'am they both replied, go set the dining room.

yes

They swifty set the dining table as rukaya brought out some warmers! Dropping it on the table, Umma asked husna take me my breakfast as hyfer took Aisha's.

Aisha's room

Salam! She uttered with a knock on her door, may I come in? She seeks permission.

What for?

I was asked to bring your breakfast

So we ain't even allowed to go eat with everyone, this is serious she scoffed.

Come in then she replied.

On seeing her vexing, she burst into laughter! Why do you look so pale? Just a night without leaving your room has made you grow slim she teased.

Don't tempt me hyfer, don't make me forget you're my sister and insult you. She voiced angrily.

I'm sorry! I know you could do that but thanks for your consideration. Here is your breakfast bye.

Better

Ameera's Room

She yanked the blanket off me revealing my l*ps and tapping me, I woke up frightened rubbing my eyes, I held her chin twisting her face left to right.

Ooch! It hurt yaa Ameera.

Really?

Yeah she replied with a scrunched face,

Don't you know you exposed  l*ps do you perhaps want 'sophire' to see me?

Who is sophire?

Have a look at her over there holding a pen and a paper! She could possibly write down what she saw.

O

ops! They've seen me lol (don't mind me jhare).

You see husna, you should ensure you salaam or knock maybe before entering anywhere. It isn't appropriate if you just budge in without any notification. I preached.

I'm sorry, actually it was umma whom asked me to bring your breakfast.

Thanks angel! Drop it on the mini fridge.

Yes she replied before exiting the room

I went to the rest room to take a shower, after a long relaxing shower; I wore a navy blue shirt and a white loose tights, tightening my hair to a ponytail before having my meal.

Zayyad's P.O.V

The cool and briskly air rushed pass the squeaky sliding doors of His room, he quickly woke up to pray "ya Allah" I'm late for work he muttered leaving his bed.

He quickly rushed to the restroom to have his bath, came out, brush his coiled jet-black coloured hair and dressed up, ya Allah please make today'ssurgery be a success he whispered and he quickly sip his coffee before leaving for the hospital.

He swiftly swing the door of the hospital to open and quickly steps in, the multitude doctors shouted across the hall, announcing the arrival of the awaited cardio thoracic surgeon.

The perfusion dashes across one of the many doorways of the emergency room to retrieve an o-negative blood.

A young lady of about 25 years of age walked up to him weeping bitterly begging to save her mum.

Plz! Plz! Help my mum, I can't live without her, she's the only one left for me she pleaded bitterly which her tears damp his white Tshirt. He tried calming her as he soothed tender words of sympathy and encouragement

Being in the operation room wasn't easy as the patient suffers from pericarditis but all the hard work turn out to be a success.. Alhmdulillah he uttered...
*    *

Two days came really fast, today we're gonna leave our rooms, the punishment was over.

We all assembled in the lounge when abba informed us about their takeoff which Will take place the following morning, he pleaded with us to both conduct and put ourselves in check and also told the younger once to obey the elders, he also assured Aisha and I about our going to Egypt for school immediately the return back in the country.

Alhmdulillah! my dream of becoming a physician is gonna come to past... With a harsh tone, umma warned us to better stay put and to conduct ourselves as she emphasized more especially on me.

I puffed a little before assuring that we will give her no reason to complain again.

Umma also called rukaiyya and Khadija to inform them about their trip, and asked them to take care of the house to which they beckoned and wish them a safe trip.

It was the following morning, our both parents have set out their luggages ready to be driven to the Airport, husna hugged them both with tears on her cheeks, am gonna miss you she says,

We will Miss you too baby doll umma said with a peck on her cheeks...

Ibro drove us to the port, we parted before coming back home.

Home is gonna be fun said Aisha since umma isn't around to pick on little things.

Khadija!! She hollered her name

Na'am(yes)

With a command in her voice she says  I need a glass of farm milk trailing her a festy stare, she smiled and said I am now the boss...
