"No, wake up." Zayn whined in Nana's ear early in the morning. Since after they prayed subh, he couldn't go back to sleep whilst she's soundly sleeping next to him.
"No, go away." She continue to sleep but not really sleep since she has already talk, she won't fall back asleep.
"Come, let's go." He dragged her out of the bed when she opened her eyes to look up at him with annoyance, irritation clear in her orbs but he didn't pay any heed to it and kept dragging her to the bathroom.
"It's only 06:00AM, why am I up?" She whined as Zayn continue to splatter water to her face to wake her up.
"Because, your husband here couldn't sleep and he wants to start going to the gym like you instructed but he wants to go with you. I'm I not amazing?" He grinned at the mirror as she shoot a hard quelling glare his way.
"I hate you." She pouted, her eyes dropping slightly but she is not sleepy. Why did she even ask him to start going to the gym? Oh, she wants to se
"What happened?" Nana blinked, looking up at Zayn who looks relieved to see her awake and also not in pain. She sat up and look around, seeing first aid kit and water."You blank out when your memories triggered but the doctor said it's a good thing that it happened. You're regaining your memories, and I'm so happy." He beamed, taking her face in both his hands and cupped her cheeks. He placed a kiss on her nose, making her blush before he pulled away."I'm also happy! I want to get over this memories." She sighed before curling herself in a ball in his arms. He felt so cuddly and sweet that she can't help herself but do just that."Maaysa and Rukayyah will be here soon." He whispered to her after some minutes of silence between them, they could hear Khumais' voice as he kept talking gibberish around the whole house."The co-wives." Nana giggled, Zayn only chuckled at her before standing up with her in his arms. He walked out of the room and to the mini l
Nana got ready to go to 'Dash Of Delish' in her favorite pearl trim belted button dress, a-line with pearl bishop sleeves. She's applying a little kohl and nude lipstick around her lips before walking out of the room to take Khumais to her in-laws.Zayn left earlier saying he has a lot of work to do today and he wants to finish everything before Maaysa's wedding and that is just a week from today. Nana is graduating from the cooking school in two days and she can't wait for that. Asma told them that they were fast learners and so, they will graduate just after a month and a week."Good morning, mine." She chirped at a groggy looking Khumais who just walked himself put of his room and met her in the dining room where she placed his cereal.He blinked at her, trying to remove all the traces of sleep looking g cute as he did so. Her heart tugged at that, she doesn't want to think of him leaving her all alone after spending so much time with him. She talked to
"Come let me give you the story of my family and how we grew up." Zayn randomly said to Nana from his position on the bed while she's sitting on the couch trying to type something in his Mac about the new recipe they were asked to bring with tomorrow as deadline since they'll be graduating the next day. She's been going up and down with Maaysa and Rukayyah and they didn't let her do her own homework. She's also not serious!"Really?" That brightens her solemn mood. Even though she knew she was supposed to be creating a dish, she can't help but feel like she needs to know what he's going to say. It's like he's opening up more to her and wants her to see their past even though it doesn't matter."Yup, now come here." He opened his arms widely, touching the headboard with his knuckled in process.Nana raced into his arms and the force made them both tumble in the middle of the bed, thanking God that Khumais didn't want to sleep with them that day or they'd sc
"I don't feel sleepy at all, cherub." Nana mumbled to Zayn from his chest as she lie her head down on it. He made them sleep the whole afternoon off and now they both can't sleep a wink. Maybe with even the nerves of graduating from her cooking school tomorrow. She don't see why Asma want to invite people just for graduating but she said that's how it is and it's mostly family members and close relatives."Same here, mami. What should we do though?" He asked, continuing to rub his hand up and down her back and up to her hair to give her scalf a gentle massage."We should go for a long night run. What do you think?" She beamed, sitting up and looking at him with her eyes like a child waiting to be asked to take the whole jar of cookie. She looks so cute and he can't deny her her wishes even if he wants to. She knew how much he likes going on a night run but stopped after their marriage, he told her that and now she wants to do it with him. What a better way to spend wit
"Cherub, which one should I wear?" Nana asked Zayn with a cute pout etched on her lips, looking adorable as she held two sarees in her hands –Cotton Silk Printed Saree with Blouse Piece and Hand Block Printed Saree."The cotton silk one is finer and you won't have problem closing your stomach." He advised, looking up from his laptop wearing his wire glasses making him look sexier."Uhm, you're right." She agreed and began to strip out of her jallabiya but Zayn stopped her. Is she trying to make him do something they shouldn't do right now? He closed his eyes and accompany her to their walk in closet so she could change there."Poor baby!" She called out from the closet with her tease dripping making him turned on, he couldn't stop himself when he barged into the closet only to find her in her bra and shorts.Damn, damn, damn, he's so damned! Why did he walk in in the first place? He look from her hair, down to her slender long neck before goin
Nana didn't feel at ease with her husband sitting with his cousin sisters all around him, so she find somewhere she could spy on them. They're all beautiful and it's not like she's insecure about their love, but she hates seeing girls around him even if they're his cousins. They're not his mahram and that's that. She sat down next to the bride and her co-wife where she could see them clearly. If Hidaya wasn't sitting there, she would've been more sated and happy but with Hidaya inches away from her husband, she doesn't trust her one bit. She doesn't even respect personal space and could see her husband moving away from time to time which made her grin.Zayn stood up after mumbling an excuse to them -from how he moved- to answer his phone call. A few minutes later, he wasn't back and Hidaya stood up and follow the same direction as he did. Nana groaned before excusing herself from the tensed girls, she will give them some lectures later because now, she wants to see what
She made sure everything looks how she's dreamed of it. She dreamed about them having sometime with her husband in the backyard having picnic with her new found recipe book. Zayn's grandmother sent an Indian recipe book through Mu'ayyad when he transited there from China. The book has amazing foods and many kind of delicious desserts. After finding out that she could cook Indian food without having problem nor did she burn the kitchen down, everything turned out perfectly good. Now she's setting a small picnic for them with Khumais sleeping soundly inside the house and his monitor is turned on.She beamed, looking at the Uthappam waiting to be devoured. Checking herself once again at the floor length mirror that's in the living room, Nana fixed her new sari leaving her stomach bare and the dupatta is down from her head. Her hair is loose and longer making her look like an Indian even adding vermilion in between the cut on her forehead like they do in India, she made sur
Zayn and Nana are sitting on the couch, watching the Bollywood film 'Manikarnika'. She has her hand in the huge bowl of popcorn and her other hand wrapped around Zayn's torso. He will kiss her forehead once in a while before they continue to watch and comment here and there. Amidst watching the movie, Zayn's phone rang on the couch next to Nana. She peeked her head to see who is calling but then met a heartbreak for Hidaya's name was blinking and her appetite just vanished.She threw the phone at him and stood up. She bit her lip for mistakingly throwing it because she was blinded with jealousy but brush it off and walk to the kitchen to do only god knows what. After looking around the kitchen for the nth time, she finally settle on taking frozen yoghurt but still didn't get back her appetite which frustrates her to no end.What frustrates her more is that Zayn is still talking to Hidaya on phone and didn't bother checking on her. What is so important that
UNEDITED!!!LANAI CITY, HAWAII.Nana grinned and look around the whole room she asked the room service to arrange before hastily going out if the room to stand next to Zayn outside the hotel they checked in.Zayn's parents thought that they need escape from reality for a few weeks seven months after Naazwa's death and they agreed instantly because they really needed that trip. Hajia Rehma took Huda and Kaadira took Khumais for the time till they get back. Nana smiled at their kindness and immediately packed her clothes along with Zayn's in two trolleys."Where to?" Zayn asked, turning to look at his stunning wife in her calf lengthsundress, a hat and matching the sunglasses he is wearing.

UNEDITED.Nana grinned evilly as they finished their breakfast. Weekends are her best days in the whole week, she gets her husband all to herself. Today, she's planned something for them but she already knew that Zayn will hate it and might even reject it but he has no choice. After doing the dishes, she called Maaysa and ask her whether she could look after Khumais for her for some hours. She told her that there is no problem and she will come and pick him."Cherub, we should go to the market today, what do you think?" She sat herself down on his laps, drawing her hands all around his face in a seductive way."Market? Me? No." He blatantly disagreed, looking at her like she grew a another head by the side."Are you saying no to me?" She raised a brow, distangling herself from him to which he protested with a groan and frown. Why is she been so difficult and crazy?"Why should I go
Seven days after Naazwa's demise, everyone is now slowly getting out if their grieving situation and are now functioning a little more properly than before. The Borkan mansion's light is brought back but not like before, they are slowly trying to bring back the happiness that was there before because that is what Naazwa would've want them to have if she was there and alive.Nana, Maaysa and Rukayyah remembered that they need to do something to bring smiles and happiness in the mansion so they formed a small dinner for everyone in the compound. They invited everyone and set a dining room out in the backyard with mats and lights. They cooked a lot of food and even give some to the beggars in the evening and ask them to pray for Naazwa's light in the grave. The beggars were very happy and rain prayers to Naazwa making everyone happy at their thoughtful idea.Zayn's parents, Mu'ayyads parents, Nana's parents, Jumaimah, Maaysa, Rukayyah, Kadira
UNEDITED.Nana also couldn't sleep a wink the whole night and she could feel Zayn's eyes behind her back. Naazwa's death is something that touched everybody's heart in the whole Borkan compound. Everyone is grieving with either puffy or red eyes. Nana cried her eyes out the whole day with Maaysa and Kaadira. They couldn't stay in the same room as the people passing condolence for their own tears will bring tears to the other peoples' eyes even if they don't want to. Kaadira locked her children with their maid with Mudassir also with them since he didn't know what was happening.No one even thought about him. He wouldn't understand but everyone knew that Hajiya Rehma is going to take Mudassir and bring him up herself, she will want Naazwa's flesh with her. That wasn't talked about but after three days, everyone has to come out of his and her shell and move on to what's ahead, life won't be stopped just because of someone's death, the
"You think so?" Jumaimah asked, tilting her head to the side as she touched the texture of the hijab she is holding."I know so." Mu'ayyad grinned and continue to remove stacks of hijab from the vendor.She was silently sitting in her room when he called her and ask her for a stroll which she gladly accepted. While walking around the streets, they saw a middle aged man walking with rows of hijab in a hanger and Mu'ayyad stooped them saying the mint green one will look beautiful on her and that is how she find herself changing from this colour to that colour while the man only stared at them happily thinking the will buy a lot and they did.At the end of it, they took five hijabs and added tip to the man who kept raining prayers and praises on them because he will no longer hawk for the day and will take the money to his family so they could eat. They haven't had anything since the pap they took in the morning and that pap
Maaysa didn't like how her plan is trying to fail so she left the cafe and stood outside Hidaya's car then called her to come outside that she didn't lock her car. Hidaya grumbled and kept her meat pie before adjusting her heels and left the cafe to where Maaysa is. She opened her car and find it locked so Maaysa tricked her into this right? But for what?Maaysa knew Hidaya would come out if she is told that her car has problem because it has happened to her once. She left her car opened and the next thing she knew is that it disappeared so she stopped leaving chances for that and especially not to her favorite new car."Assalamu alaikum." She heard a masculine voice from behind her making her jump on her feet and would've being lying flat on the floor if not for the strangers hands around her shoulder. "I'm sorry I frighten you." That same voice apologized with a hint of concern and she melted before turning around to find the source of t
"We can go out all together later, don't you think?" Nana asked the girls on the phone as she mix Khumais' cereal in a cute blue bowl for him. He woke up and started making a fuse so she has to make some for him."Yes, great idea. Hidaya can at least cool off some steam, right Hids?" Rukayyah laughed when Hidaya grunted into the phone.She saw Jumaimah with Mu'ayyad more than three timed and when she asked him if he likes her, he agreed and said he might even love her. He doesn't have any chance with Nana so why not have the other Nana, he's liked them both since then so he will just hit his drum. She's asked one of the renowned scholars if her marriage with Mu'ayyad is permissible and it is confirmed to be permissible in Islam since his parents didn't give birth to her. She wanted to start making her moves on Mu'ayyad but she backed out when he confessed and also she told Jumaimah about her almost growing feelings for her brother but not
Unedited.Nana has been waiting for this day since when Zayn told her about his birthday two months ago. '25th July' she has been waiting and it's finally twenty which means in less than 24hours, her husband will be thirty years old. After so much asking of advises from her sister in-laws, her best friend and Hannatu, she finally gather everything she'll need to make this his best birthday. She is very determined and will do anything to make him happy even though most of the things they advised her to do is beyond her head and imagination.Zayn left just a few hours ago and now she has been walking in and out of the kitchen for an hour now. She can't even still to do something before going to the other. She's started decorating the backyard and the mini living room and bringing out the ingredients, checking Khumais whilst doing so. Now that she has set up the five colours of balloons –blue, purple, golden and brown– it l
