Chapter 23
Here goes yasmii's photo above! This is how i imagine her👆🏾👆🏾👆🏾👆🏾
Hold your breaths guyssss!
Ruqayyah's P.O.V
I woke up to the sound of beeps, i was in an all white room and the smell of medicines overwhelmed me. I blinked for a few minutes and tried to sit but quickly laid back as my head surge with pain.
I closed my eyes, inhaled and opened them one more time. My vision was now clear.
It took me some seconds to finally realize where i was. I was in a hospital.
How did i get here?
I looked up and saw a doctor, he too was staring at me.
"Welcome back" He smiled and I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion.
"Can you please tell me your name?" He asked with a smile.
I frowned. Is this guy for real?? Why would he ask me my name?
"Ruqayyah" I answered.
"What about that?" He questioned, pointing at something beside me. I turned and saw it was al amin. His hands were folded across his chest. He looked tensed.
What's happening? Why is he asking me such crazy questions?
"Al amin" I replied weakly, silently hoping he could just keep his mouth shut and ask me no more question.
"What is he to you?" He asked, again.
I sighed "He is my fiancé"
"Very good, Alhamdulillah she is very okay she just needs some more rest now" The doctor said to al amin, checked my chart and walked out of the room.
Wait. Why was i here in the first place?
Slowly, slowly everything got back to me. I quickly touched my forehead and felt a bandage wrapped around it. Oh my God!
I looked around the room and realized all eyes were on me. I swear i didn't even notice them. Did i say al amin is my fiancé in front of Abba, umma, hajia mama, mama and baba?... I'm sure my cheeks were now tinted pink.
They all moved closer to my bed.
"My baby" mama hugged me.
"How are you feeling?" She enquired over my shoulder.
"Fine mama, when did you come?"
She smiled "Yesterday"
Wow!
I nodded, masking my surprise and tried to sit but umma quickly stopped me by putting her hands on my shoulders "Don't try to get up, my dear. You need some more rest okay? or maybe you should eat first"
I smiled as she took a small basket and placed it on a table. I hugged Baba and hajia mama then greeted abba.
XXXXXXXXXXX
"God!!" Yasmeen exclaimed "You're finally awake" She grinned widely. I missed this chatterbox!!!
I was presently in bed. I ate, took my bath and offered the prayers i had missed, people have been coming and Gosh! i was already tired. I spoke to Ameela and ya husna through mama's phone, they were really worried but i told them not to bother themselves, i would be okay.
Baba, mama, abba and umma had left to rest, so i was only left with hajia mama.
"Yasmii" I hugged Yasmeen tightly.
"How are you feeling?" She enquired settling beside me.
"Alhamdulillah" I smiled shifting a little for her.
"Have you eaten?" She questioned, trying her best to keep the 'Mother' tone.
"Yes mom" I said and we both giggled.
"Zahra said she couldn't reach you but she'll come over tomorrow in sha Allah" Yasmeen said apologetically.
It was then i realized i didn't even get a glimpse of my phones. "Hajia mama where are my phones? People must have been calling"
She folded the mat she prayed on earlier and sat on one of the leather couches "Your phones? I think they are with Al amin" She paused "Yes they are with him, he asked for them yesterday so i gave them to him"
"What?" I whisper-yelled. None of my phones have a password. He prolly went through my pictures, my applications, my my my everything. I let out an exasperated sigh which made yasmeen chortle. She definitely knew why i let out that sigh.
"Assalamu Alaikum" Came the Prince Charming's voice as his cologne clashed with my olfactory organ.
"Wa alaikumussalam" We answered back.
He squatted and greeted hajia mama before he turned to face me.
"I hope you're feeling much better?" He smiled.
I wanted to ask why the hell would he take my phones but quickly decided against it as I remembered hajia mama was still here, she would probably kill me. So, i simply nodded and returned the smile.
He placed the orange conte bags he was holding and sat on a stool beside my bed.
"Alhamdulillah malam lawali is here, its almost time for iftar so i have to go, Wallahi I'm very tired duk na gaji da asibitin nan haba (I'm tired of this hospital)" Hajia mama complained.
"Please stay" I begged with pleading eyes.
"Oh please, hajia mama don't mind her me and ya al amin are going to stay, we are going to do our iftar here" Yasmeen said and winked at me.
I groaned inwardly and bid hajia mama goodbye.
Yasmeen stood up and opened one of the bags al amin brought.
"What do you want to eat? Fried rice, pancakes, burger?" She asked scanning through the other bags.
I thought for a moment before i answered "Ahh... The fried rice".
The doctor said I can't fast because i wasn't that healthy and i had some medicines that should be taken in the morning and afternoon. So i'd to stop fasting till I'm healthy.
Yasmeen nodded, transferred the fried rice into a plate and placed it on top of the overbed table in front of me.
"Oya chop, or should i feed you? Even though i know you'll prefer ya al amin to do that" She smirked.
I glared at her.
"Ohh ohh is that so?" Al amin raised his eyebrows and took the plate "May i?"
I quickly snatched the plate away from him and shook my head "No thank you"
They laughed and i scowled at them.
"God! I'm hungry, i swear the time is moving so slow" Yasmeen grunted rubbing her tummy.
I stuck out my tongue at her and with a bismillah i started to devour unmercifully on the delicious looking fried rice.
"Yummy" I moaned and opened an eye to see yasmeen's reaction.
She pouted her lips and crossed her arms over her chest "Seriously this is not fair, you shouldn't eat in front of us" She whined "its delicious ba? Gaskia I must eat this fried rice as soon as i break my fast in sha Allah"
"You are the one that asked me to eat, aren't you?" I said and stuffed another spoonful of rice in my mouth.
I turned to look at al amin and saw he was looking at me too, with the 'You-don't-Know-You're-Killing-Me' look. I was sure he was internally cursing me. I stuck out my tongue at both of them and continued to eat.
"Where.awre.mye.phwonesh?" I asked al amin, still chewing on my food.
He furrowed his eyebrows and turned his gaze to Yasmeen "Did you hear a word?"
Yasmeen shook her head "I only heard 'where'"
Their faces looked really funny that i had to clasped my hand to my mouth to prevent the food in my mouth from pouring to Yasmeen that was sitting next to me.
I swallowed the food and giggled "Where are my phones?"
"Ohh It almost skipped my mind, they're with me... here" He brought out the phones from his sweatpants pocket and passed them to me.
"Did you go through my stuff?" I asked internally praying that he didn't.
He shrugged "Not really, i only went through your pictures, videos, Instagram and snapchat"
"Omgieee you did not just.. Apparently Instagram and snapchat are the only applications i have so you literally went through everything" I said in one breathe, looking at him in disbelief.
"You need to chill, i just went through your Instagram followers and admirers, isn't a fiancé allowed to do so RAK?" He said, as if it wasn't a big deal.
My jaw dropped, sometimes i really regret ever knowing this guy.
"Don't call me that" I said through gritted teeth "You mister aren't suppose to go through my personal stuff, seriously you know i can sue you to court for doing..." I didn't get to complete my sentence when i felt my head deluge with pain.
I winced. Yasmeen and Al amin briskly moved closer. "Are you okay?" Al amin asked while Yasmeen placed her hands on my shoulders.
I slowly looked up and nodded. Al amin shook his head in disapprobation "No I don't think so, i'll go call the doctor" With that he quickly made his way to the door before I could stop him.
"Ruqayyah what's wrong with you?" Yasmeen questioned, worry evident on her face.
I smiled "You shouldn't worry, i think its just a headache"
She nodded but it was obvious she wasn't convinced. Before long, Al amin came into the room with the doctor and a nurse trailing behind.
The doctor and the nurse stood beside my bed while al amin stood behind them. The doctor checked both my eyes using a blue pen torch light and asked me some few questions.
"Alhamdulillah she's fine" Said the doctor "Its possible she might encounter this kind of slight head pains from time to time but I will give firdausi some medicines and she will bring them to her, Alright?"
Ya rabbi! I want to scream. He brought like thousands of meds in the morning and now he's going to add more. I mentally punched his face.
Al amin whose hands were crossed across his chest, nodded with a smile.
The doctor turned to me "You will be fine by God grace, Allah ya kara Lafia"
All of us answered with 'Ameen' Before the doctor and the nurse who I understood was the Firdausi, walked out.
I almost laughed when i looked at al amin's worried face.
I looked at yasmeen, she had the same look.
"Come on guys, trust me I'm absolutely okay, i swear the pain was just for some seconds" I said and averted my gaze to al amin "And you mister!" I cleared my throat trying my best to sound bossy "I'm not done with you, i can sue you to court for crossing my privacy and with all right reserved, am not yours yet"
He looked at me with amusement and laughed "The judge will understand my situation, ummu lissan" he smirked.
"Hey hey hey, did you just call me mother of big mouth?" I dramatically clutched my chest "Oh my god yasmeen please look who is talking"
Yasmeen laughed and waved her hand in the air, her eyes still on her phone doing Only God Knows What "Um um Ni ba ruwana, this your endless argument"
I rolled my eyes at her and turned my attention back to al amin. He took a quick glance at his wristwatch and looked up "You should stop snapping so many pictures, you have like Subhanallah thousands of copies for each picture" He emphasized on the 'picture' and shook his head.
"Whatever" I rolled my eyes. I swear this guy talks way too much.
Suddenly, came the imam's voice which made yasmeen grin as though her crush had just confessed his love for her.
"Alhamdulillah, I'm so thirsty" Yasmeen jumped out of the bed and grabbed a bottle of water.
Al amin shook his head "How many times do i have to tell you to eat a date or a fruit first before you take any other thing? the driver will be here shortly with the food, i'll go and pray now"
He took a bag and passed five packets of date to yasmeen. "What are you going to do with all these packages?" Yasmeen asked pointing at the bag he was holding, it was full with packets of date.
"I will share them to people" He answered briefly and sauntered out of the room.
I really felt proud of him. Firstly, he would have the same reward of fasting as the person that gets the date. Secondly, his sins would definitely be forgiven masha Allah. Thirdly, Allah (SWT) boasts His angels about a generous person who feeds others. Isn't that awesome?
The driver already brought the food when me and yasmeen were praying. Soon after, al amin walked in with a salam and sat crossed-leg on the carpeted floor leaning his back against the leather couch behind him while yasmeen settled beside him.
They insisted i should come and join them, i was full but managed to ingest four fried yams with kunu. I asked yasmeen if she would still eat the fried rice but she grimaced and said she didn't even want to see it. I laughed at her. I used to wonder if i was the only one that does that but now i knew I wasn't actually the only one. If i was fasting and saw someone eating something, I would freak out because the food would look like it was the most delish thing ever and when i break my fast, I swear the food won't look delicious anymore.
Just after the iftar, Faruq, Aseeya and Islah arrived. Al amin and Faruq went out leaving us 'the girls' only. It was really fun having Aseeya and Islah around. Aseeya was the type of person who talks nonstop even when she doesn't know you while Islah was the type of person Who isn't friendly and doesn't talk much when she doesn't know you but turns into a talkative after you get along.
