Chapter 12

Safeeya's POV

"Ding dong " this is the third time the bell is ringing, I was upstairs getting dressed because I needed to go to the market in other to get few things for the house.

" I am coming"

I ran over to the door and opened it only to meet face to face with humaids friend,The one from the other day.

" Hey Mrs Amac, you remember me right?. Zaki " he says and i only nod.

" Asalamualaikum" i said and he answered with walaikisalam.

"Come in" I said to him and he walked in.

" I came to get my house ready and I am damn hungry" he says .

" Oh Ayya. And there's nothing in the house to eat,i am even going to the market " I said.

" Oh, that means you haven't had lunch" he said.

" Yes I haven't" I said.

" Okay,come let's go and have lunch somewhere and I'll drop you off at the market after that " he says.

" No thanks. I'll Go on my own and I don't need to eat now " I said.

" Nonsense!. Mrs Amac, you'll have to come with me. i t's 3pm and you haven't eaten, ha sobada Allah kizo muje ( because of God,let's go." He said pleadingly.

" Toh okay" I accepted.

" Okay let's go then" he said. We both came out and locked the house.

I sat in his beautiful car,the car was so Masha Allah. (Marvelous)

" So where have you been to in Abuja?" He questioned.

" Actually this is my first time going out " I said sincerely.

"You must be joking, you are Humaids wife, humaid the cruiser " he huffed. cruiser?, Does humaid really go out that muc ?.

"No, humaid is always at work so I don't get a chance to even see him that much " I said,

" Work? What work? Humaid spends 14hours of his day with us. and yeah he does go to work but he doesn't stay long " I didn't understand what he was trying to say. Humaid ? 14hours ?. This was confusing.

"I don't understand"

" What I am trying to say is that, humaid stays all day with us" he said, parking right infront of a very good looking eatery.

"We're here" he said. Excitement vivid in her voice.

We both got down from the car and made our way inside the eatery where we sat on the seat close to the window.

"What may I get you?" A waiter asked.

"Ask the lady first " Zaki said and the waiter turned over to look at me.

"No, Anything you decide to eat" I said.

" Okay, we'll order Dumplings. get us dumplings" he said and the waiter nodded.

" Have you had dumplings before?" He was asking me.

" No" I simply said.

"Well you're about to have it, it's amazing." he smiled.

In a few minutes, the waiter came back with some plate of dumplings which he placed before us.

" Thanks" Zaki said and the waiter simply smiled and walked away.

"Have some" he says. I looked down at the plate of the round dumplings which were before me, I simply took a bite and wow, They were sweet . Very sweet and delicious.

"It's nice" I said to him and he smiled.

" You know what, humaid is very lucky to have such a beautiful wife. seeing you, I would conclude that you are Arab"he says and I chuckled.

"not at all, I'm a full blooded Nigerian" I chuckled while munching on my dumplings.

After our meal,he drove me to the market and offered to pay for everything which I declined of course, but he insisted. he even bought excess . well he is a cool guy I guess .
