Three months later

Shukra stand in front of her mirror looking at herself, wondering why luck is not on her side. It been three months since Ramadan and all this months she's trying very hard to execute her plan but she always fail.

They're always together, but she promise herself to do it no matter what. She smile remembering the person who's going to kill her enemy is right in front of their house, waiting for Aminatu to leave the house alone without her husband then her plan will work.

For the past three months shukra has been busy with work and her conspiracy, the moment you look at the woman you can see she had change. Her mother is always worried about her daughter, she don't sit and talk to her. First thing in the morning she leave for work, if she see her in the living room or on her way out, she will just greet her and leave without a smile or any talk. Shukra indeed has changed.

The woman made her life a living hell just so she can destroy another persons life. Her only friend now is laila, they plot and plan together along with the man who will do the job for them. Shukra promise that man millions if he kill Aminatu for her. When she become Yusuf's wife and the daughter-in-law of the mukhtars she will pay him the money. How foolish of him and her.

On the other hand, the woman she's busy stressing her life for is happy, contented and loved by her husband and the rest of her family. Her husband always and continue to love her day by day.

Coming out of the bathroom i was welcome with Yusuf's broad back, he stand with towel drying his wet hair. I walked, took the dry towel to dry mine too.

"I'll go and get ready. " I said earning a nod from him. I leave Yusuf's room. As i entered my living room i gaze at the two bedroom, thinking of the one to enter, i decide to take the right one.

Time really go quick, it been three months after Eid. To be honest i'm happy. We grew closer like never before, the bond we share become strong day by day. And the most important thing that help our relationship work is love, trust, patience and respect. We love each other, we trust each other and most importantly we respect each other and we have patience with what ever happens in our life's.

No relationship is perfect so these four love, trust, patience and respect made our relationship form a strong bond.

I opened the walk-in-closet, entered then scan the room. The closet of my other room is filled now with clothes, lately if shop they go directly to the one at the right. One of hardest things for girls is getting ready. And the more you shop the more it take you to get ready every day.

I stomped through the closet trying to get what to wear. Do my normal makeup which is powder, kohl and lip gloss,  After changing decision almost for the sixth time i decide to go with a black ankle pant with slip on both side, then pair it with a black shirt and a white blazer. I quickly brushed my hair in a low bun then wrapped my scarf in line with the bun. I walk to the shoes and thankfully the moment i stand there, my eye's fall on a black thick Cuban ankle boot which will be perfect for today because it rain yesterday and today's weather is cloudy. I sit down on a stool and tie the shoelaces then hurriedly drag a black bag.

Defending down the stairs, i found Yusuf ascending the stairs. He smiled spotting me. "We're getting late right?"  I said putting my files in the bag.

"Now hurry up let have breakfast. " Yusuf said earning a nod from me. He put his hands on my waist leading me to the dinning room.

We start filling out stomach, finished then leave the room.

Ding ding. The door bell rang. I look at Yusuf giving him a look of 'who will visit this early. '

"I'll get it " Sadiya walk to the door. "Ma'am it's an invitation " Yusuf collect it, sign for the delivery man. Opening the decorated card, It an invitation from Maikudi's inviting Mr and Mrs Yusuf mukhtar to the 80's birthday of  Sada Salisu maikudi: Rabiat father.

I beamed seeing Yusuf's name attached to me, he give me a lingering kiss on my forehead which tell me he is happy too with the name. This is not the first time i'm called Mrs Yusuf but every time i feel excited.  Yusuf and his love change me, i'm opened to the people around me especially him. I'm happy now and i'm more than willing to show the whole world i'm happy.

First, i had a bad relationship with my father and now with time, and Allah's help we have a good relationship.

Secondly, my relationship with my husband. Now i'm happy in my marital home.

Thirdly, my heart problem, i'm sure one day one time i'll think of the days i will say 'when i have a heart problem' I know my prayers will be answered.

Yusuf open the door to the car for me. I mumble a thank you. He look at me with a smile. He start to drove off after entwining our fingers together, he bring the hands to his mouth giving it a kiss his eyes close.

"I just have breakfast just now but i feel like my stomach don't get anything. " I said pouting. Yusuf laugh then hand me a biscuit, i giggled opening it. "Yusuf you know me way to much. "

"If i don't know you who will? " He mouth glancing at my direction.

"No one will, my dear husband. " He open his mouth to speak but his phone ring, i hand him the phone but the man shrug raising our interlaced hands indicating he can't do anything. I laugh but the call end. A smile appears on my face seeing my pic on his screen. I put the phone on speaker after answering the call.

'Sir there is a problem. Someone hacked all our computers .' My eyes widened looking at Yusuf.

"What the heck did you mean Sa'id . " Yusuf almost yelled.

'Yes Kabir just tell me now. And i don't think our department is the only one. ' I tighten my grip on his hand trying to calm him down.

"There will be a general meeting sir, by ten. " Sa'id said from the other side.

"Thank You, i'll be there soon. " Yusuf said." What happen? who could've hack our company? "  I look at Yusuf, our hands still entwine, giving him the look of 'everything will be okay.' But i'm tense too, there is a project we're working on too. What if our department is among the hacked one.

Yusuf

Minu's thumb continue to stroke my hand and that calm me down. We arrived, i start to unhook the seat belt. I feel Minu tightening her grip on my hand.

She shift her body so close to me seductively her eyes on me, slowly bring her mouth close to mine, eyes still on mine. "Won't you give me a good bye kiss. But never mind i'll give you that. " The woman whispered her breath going directly into my lungs. She raise higher from her seat placing her one palm on my thigh. Then slowly, teasingly brush her lips with mine at the same time squeezing my thigh. This woman, my wife surely know how to calm me down. A sigh and a smile form in between our kiss as i cupped her face.

"We're getting late. " Minu whispered against our lips. I looked at her my wife, life and everything. Caressing her cheeks with my thumb looking directly into her mesmerizing eyes.

"Okay let go. I love you. " I said without moving an inch, but end up dragging her close to me my hand on her waist, she raise an eyebrow looking at me.

"Yusuf we should go now please. "

"Okay! " I mumble irritated. Opening her door i gazed at the surrounding, so i lean and give her a lingering kiss on her forehead, cheeks, nose and her soft lips.

General conference hall

I look at Sa'id, opened the door then enter. The minutes i entered the hall my eyes fall on a beautiful sight, that's Minu. She's showing something on her iPad to her secretary, then she frown, i hope her department is not among the hacked ones. I seat opposite to her, my gaze on her. Khairat come in with her medium bump sighing.

And the meeting starts after the elders come in. The meeting take us up to juma'at prayer. Thankfully Minu is out, but before we leave all the problems have been sorted out, and a great precautions to the ones who are free.

We leave to visit Umma today. The whole ride Minu is quite, i keep quite too seeing she look knackered from the long meeting, so i stay quite. "Nena, what is wrong, are you okay? " I asked worriedly, i can't help it.

"Yusuf i goggle the meaning of nena, you're calling me baby secretly. " She turn, her head against the seat. So she finally found the meaning, she have been asking me, i tell let keep it a secret.

I held my hand to her and she gladly take it. I look at our entwined hands, then look at her,  Minu have medium fingers not long and not short, but her hand look so so small on mine. "You see, only this can prove that, you're my baby. " She glance at our hands with an exhausted smile.  "Tell me are you okay? " I asked again.

"I'm fine, i'm just tired. I'll be fine after i relaxed. " She whispered earning a nod from me.

💫💫
"Good afternoon Umma juma'at Mubarak. "  Minu hug umma.

"Juma'at Mubarak to you too. Are you not feeling well you look pale." Umma said scanning minu's face.

"Umma i'm fine, I'm just tired. Why is grandma? "

"Oh my poor baby seat, let me found you something to eat. "  Umma said after helping Minu to sit, and walking away. Minu massage her temple looking at her leg.
"Minu this is serious, eat and i'll take you to see a doctor." I said putting her head on my shoulder.

"Meena are you okay? " We gaze at Khairat who's descending down the stairs." You look tired too earlier at work. " I flinch as i suddenly feel minu's forehead burn with fever.

Khairat stand in front of us with bump sighing from the tiredness of coming down the stairs.

"Wai fever takeh yi; oh she have a fever." Grandma said who come down just now her hand on Minu's face.

"Eat this i call a doctor. " Umma said giving us a plate. of dambu. ( A Hausa traditional food)

And Minu close her mouth while abruptly standing up. She run but before she enter the near by wash room she throw up. "Minu sorry, " I said rubbing her shoulder, what is happening to her.

"The doctor will be here soon, be strong my child. " I lead us to the wash room, she start to open the tap but i stop, washed her mouth, face and removed her blazer so she can feel some air.

"Doctor what is wrong with her? Is she okay. " Me, Umma, Khairat, grandma, and Abba who is inform Minu isn't well all asked the doctor. I sit on the stool next to the bed Minu leaning holding his hand, caressing her head and hair my gaze on the doctor.

"She have a fever but a good one because she's pregnant." The doctor finally spoken. It took me minutes to process his words. Minu is pregnant, with my child. To say i'm happy is an understatement. I just place a gentle kiss on her forehead, and the people all leave giving us a space.

Minu seat down. With a smile and a misty eyes looking at me. "Uthuf!" She whispered the tears trickling down.

"Yes Minu we are pregnant. Our first child. The symbol of our love."She come down from the bed her scarf falling. "Nena sit down you're dizzy." I said worriedly.

"No i'm fine now Yusuf! " Minu mouth excitedly giving me a hug. "All what i'm feeling is gone now Yusuf. I thank the Almighty for giving us this gift.  Thank you baby for giving me a baby, i love you, thank you. I love you so much." Minu express against my chest.

"I love you too, nena. " I mumble.
