Chapter seven 7

Zara: I'm glad to see you from  work. Let me go and prepare water for you to shower yourself because you are really tired. "She gave him a kiss on his forehead and left''.

Few minutes later, the water was ready and she came and told her husband to go and have  shower.

Zara prepared their evening meal on their dining table.

Her husband was done with the bathing and came out. She went and got him his clothes. He wore it and they all headed towards the table.

Zara came and held Yahya's chair before he sat on it. She went and sat on her own.

Yahya stretched his hand and held onto Zara's own hand.

Yahya: Am really happy for you and am always happy to be seeing you behind me. 

Zara: Let's have a meal. "They all started eating. Zara was not eating as fast as Yahya eats. She was eating slowly as if she was thinking about something else."

Yahya: Eat the food and quench your hunger or aren't you feeling hungry?

Zara: Am really concerned about you. And what I told you this morning I want you to agree with me.

Yahya: Look, Zara I have heard  you. 

But the reason is I haven't told my mom about it that is why you see me mute on that issue. If we are done I will go and tell her. 

Zara: Ok there is no problem and I'm glad to hear from you again.

Yahya: Then you eat the food for me please.

Zara: Am not all have the appetite for food.

Yahya: Please eat for me. We have a football match tonight. "She laughed at him".

Zara: You are not serious. You are kidding.

Ok we will see who will score the other. And I know I will score you.

Yahya: When and where have you ever scored me and I have forgotten? Yooo…. I will not mind you but I am praying we should get there on time.

"They were done with the eating, Yahya was about to wash his hand, Zara quickly came and held onto his hand".

Zara: I'm the one who brought the water so let me wash your hands. "She washed his hand and used a rag to clean his mouth.

She held onto his shirt whilst walking along with him to the room." This is my king and I have to protect him from any battle. So my king you can have your seat. 

Yahya: "he smiled at her''. Zara you will kill me. "She gave him a kiss and headed towards the kitchen. She packed all the cooking utensils and went and started Washing it. Yahya got up and walked to her and covered her face with his hands and kissed her."

Yahya: My queen I want to go and greet my mom. I will be right back. "He kissed her forehead and left the room. He went inside his mom's room to greet her". Salamu Alaikum.

Mom: Walaikum salam my dear. How are you doing today and how was your workplace?

Yahya: Oh mom Alhamdulillah.

Mom: Thank Allah. How is your wife?

Yahya: Oh she's doing well by the grace of Allah. Ma'am I came here to tell you something. And I will be glad to receive a positive answer from you please. 

Mom: Okay what's the matter my dear? 

Yahya: I have suggested a new incline in this house but I didn't confront you before. And maybe this is the true way. As my wife has not being given birth and it is Allah who gives anything to whomever He wills and I have suggest to marry a second woman and it maybe that she will be the door opener of Zara and sometimes we don't have to be sitting down waiting for Allah's blessings we have to look for it. 

Mom: What do you mean by marrying another woman? Are you not satisfied with this your only and one wife? Look! I will not accept your idea because it doesn't make sense. What is wrong with Zara? Nothing! And you still insist on marrying another woman. Look, my son! I have submitted your statement and am telling you the true fact to maintain this as your one and only wife. 

Yahya: Ma'am, I didn't decline your statement and please just take a look at us now. If I pass away as I'm just talking now, who will be my successor? Nobody and we need to have a child behind before leaving this world. And I am praying that you will be happy to have a grandson behind your side incase am not there. 

Mom: Well, that's what you suggest but I have rejected that opinion and if you will listen to me well. I would not tell you not to marry or not to marry but it's better to stay with only your lovely wife. Because no matter what the situation is, try to focus on what is infront not what has happened.

Yahya: Ma'am, I know you will reject my opinion and I want you to accept it and I promise to make you happy please ma'am "calming her mom down".

Mom: Well  you can't deceive me with your words but until my heart accepts this your vacant manner. And alright if you want to marry I have given the way to marry but I can't tell you not to marry.

But the last thing I want to tell you is that, I have granted you  the way but don't one day dare to complain to me about anything about your wives.

I have agreed with you now you can go and leave me to rest my soul.

Yahya: Mam believe me I promise to you that nothing will not happen and trust me please.

Mom: Look! I didn't say I don't trust you, I do, and what I am telling is a warning but not a rejection because I know how we women are. But take care of yourself. You can go now.

Yahya: Ma'am, thank you very much jazakallahu khairan and I have to go now. Salamu Alaikum.

Mom: Walaikum salam. "He walked out from his mom's room and went and sat on a wheelchair in the house. He was sitting calmly thinking about what will happen to him if he marries another woman.

Yahya POV.

It seems I'm mad now. I didn't make up my mind to marry another woman. But I don't know what is wrong with me thinking of marrying another woman. But it seems I am right because look at the condition that we are in now! And what if Zara is a woman who can not give birth and later on I will be regretting that she can't give birth?

But I'm right as long as my mom has agreed with me then there is no problem.

As I'm just hesitating saying I want to marry, where will I get those responsible women nowadays? And Zara is one of the best women I ever saw in my sight. Now how will I get that woman like Zara?

 "He realized something on his neck as if there was an insect walking on his body. He wiped there but he didn't see anything.

The thing started again he wiped there but not to be found. For one minute he realized the thing again on his arm. He waited for a few seconds for this time he was able to catch it when he pulled it. It was his wife who was holding a stick and scrolling on his body."

Yahya: You scared me. "She went and sat behind him and kept her hand on his shoulder. She gave him a kiss on his forehead". 

Zara: Why are you sitting alone at this hour of the night and you know you are supposed to be with your wife by this time, but I or is something wrong? 

Yahya: Ooh nothing is wrong with me I just want to come and inhale this garden fresh air because since I started working in the bank it kept long since I ever came here. But anyway I am sorry for not coming to you before here. 

Zara: There is no problem with that. But I just miss your presence. That's why I came to you here because I already knew you would be here. 

Yahya: Well thank you but I want to tell you that my mom has agreed with me to have another wife but she was behaving as you were before. But she inclined me to be careful because she doesn't want an arrogant wife. 

Zara: Alright then congrats and do you know something? 

Yahya:No unless you tell me.

Zara: Will you let me find you that wife of whom you are willing to marry? 

Yahya: How and how could that be possible? 

Zara: Oh I'm serious if only you grant me the opportunity to do that. I promise you to find you a better woman like me. 

Yahya: Zara are you sure you are not tricking me? "she nodded her head". 

Okay like I will be happy. Zara! I am happy to have a woman like you and ever since I was born I have never seen nor heard anyone saying or talking that someone's wife ever did this thing that you are doing today. And I am praying that you should get a responsible wife like you. 

Zara: Bae it is alright. Am also praying for you to get a woman who will be more responsible than me and she should be a woman who can make our family happy. Babe let's get inside it seems it is getting late. But give me a kiss before we will go. ``he gave her a deep kiss even taking it to the next level". Babe it's okay let's get inside because it's too late. 

"They walked inside the room Yahya carried her in his arms till they reached the door." Babe let me get down so that I can fetch water inside the ablution can for us to perform ablution and pray Nawafil." He let off his hands". 

Yahya:Okay, I am waiting for you to hurry . I want you tonight. 

Zara: Sure? 

Yahya:Oh very sure. Because I miss you small for small days. 

Zara: Wow what another great night! Let me hurry to catch up with the exact time my king needs me now. "she walked hurriedly and went inside and took the ablution can with water and brought it to him". Babe you have it first and perform if you are done then I will also perform after you. 

They were done with the prayers Zara came and leaned on Yahya. 

Zara:Babe may Allah accept our prayers and grant us a better home with peace and harmony. 

Yahya:Amen, and may He give us righteous children. Get up and let go and sleep. 

Zara: Okay carry me in your arms. "Yahya carried her in his arms and kissed her for 30 seconds before sending her on the bed. He caresses her body with a deep kiss. He held on to her waist so as not to miss him for a second…..

********

Zara: Babe the water is ready, you can go and bathe before me. "he was lying down calmly while smiling". 

Yahya: Let's go and bathe together. I alone cannot bathe. 

Zara: How and how can we bath together "whilst smiling" but I never did that before! 

Yahya: How can we consummate each other and bath together that we can't? 

There is nothing with that so let's  go. 

Zara: But for me I am too shy to do that. 

Yahya: There is a saying that if you are angry with your bottocks remember that it is that you will sit when you are tired. So don't say we can't bathe together let go. 

Zara: Well I will try and see because this is impossible to me. "Zara followed him to the bathroom and covered her face with a towel." 

Yahya: look! What are you doing like that? Remove it and feel free "he pulled it out from her face". Okay now let's bath. 

They were done with the bathing and came out. Zar went and laid down Yahya took an ablution can and performed ablution and pray two Rakats of Nawafil. He came and met his wife sleeping. As he was going to touch her, she realized his hand on her body. She worked up. 

Yahya: Aren't you asleep? I thought you were sleeping. 

Zara: Yeah, I was feeling sleepy. "Yahya laid behind her. She adjusted herself on him and kept her head on his chest." Have a sweet dreams babe. Salamu Alaikum. 

Yahya: well, have a good night babe "he gave her a kiss on her forehead" walaikum Salam. 

******

It was 3:30 am Yahya's phone was ringing. It rang for twice he didn't answer for the third time, Zara taped him. 

Zara: Babe your phone is ringing and I don't think this could be an alarm. "He got up and took the phone and it was his friend Abdul Ra'uf who was calling him. He answered it". 

Yahya: salamu Alaikum my dear. 

He replied: Walaikum Salam. Please, I am sorry for waking you up at this late hour. 

Yahya: Oh there is no problem with that. 

He replied: Okay it's an emergency call that's why I have called you this late hour. My wife is about to deliver but it is difficult for her to deliver. And currently the nurses are with her in the delivery ward. 

Yahya: Subhanallah!! "Zara got up on the bed with a shock". Which of the hospitals are you currently in? 

He replied: We are in An-Noor hospital in New city. 

Yahya: Okay am coming please.

He replied: okay have a safe journey. Salamu Alaikum

Yahya: Walaikum salam thank you. "He quickly dropped the phone on the bed and went and removed his shirt inside the wardrobe and wore it."

Babe I had an emergency call so I am going there.

Zara: What is wrong and what emergency call is that?

Yahya: My friend's wife is in labor and it's difficult for her to deliver.

Zara: Subhanallah. Okay be in a hurry if daybreak I will come there. Which hospital have they admitted her to?

Yahya: He says An-noor hospital at New city. But if you are to come, alert my mom before coming there, you get me?

Zara: Yes I will do that. Have a safe journey. May Allah go with you. Salamu Alaikum.

Yahya: Walaikum salam. Thank you. "He left the room and went to his mom's room and woke her up." Salamu Alaikum. Mom, please, my Friend called me right now and told me that his wife is about to deliver and she finds it difficult to deliver. That's why I'm here to alert you before going.

Mom: Subhanallah! Okay you go. Don't waste time. Being in a hurry. Safe journey my son. Salamu Alaikum.

Yahya: walaikum salam. Mom, thank you. "He went and stood at the roadside waiting for a car. Within five minutes, he got into the car. He arrived there 15 minutes later." How much is the fare? " He asked the driver."

It's #4 for the ride. "He said. Yahya gave him the money and went inside the hospital and removed his phone and called His friend".

Salamu Alaikum. I'm in the hospital now, which ward are you in? "Yahya asked Abdul Rauf."

We are in the B2 delivering ward. "He answered".

Okay am coming. "Yahya said".

He walked into the ward hall and went to the waiting room and met Abdul Rauf there.

Salamu Alaikum. Welcome. "Abdul Rauf said".

Walaikum salam my dear and how is the situation now? "Yahya ask".

Right now the doctor came and gave me this form and it is a form of surgery saying she needs to be operated on surgically before they could be able to remove the child. "Abdul Rauf said".

Subhanallah!! "Yahya groaned". Now have you signed it? "Yahya asked?."

Not yet my friend. " He answered."

What are you waiting for my friend? Look! sign it and let them do the surgery and save our lives my friend. "Yahya said".

They all headed to the doctor and signed it. They were ordered to pay #5000 for the surgery, where they did.

They were waiting in the waiting room to hear the final results.

The doctor came out to them and was holding a piece of paper in his hand.

Sir, congratulations. "The doctor said" this is the record of her. "He handed the paper to him".

But she needs blood donation now because she has lost a lot of her blood during the surgery. You have to hurry so that we can infuse her with blood. "Doctor said".

Let's go so that you can check my blood group, if it's the same then I will donate for her. "Yahya responded fast". 

Well both of you are to be checked in other to get the exact one for the dona. "Doctor said". 

Okay let go. "Abdul Ra'uf said". They all went and sat on the laboratory ward waiting for the doctor. The doctor walked into the ward. 

Yahya let me have you first. So come to me and if you are done then call Abdul Ra'uf to come. "Doctor said". He got up. And followed him inside where the was a curtain covering them from the people in the ward. 

You can sit here. "Doctor said". 

Okay thank you. Yahya said. 

He took a little blood and indicated his name on the little bottle. 

Now go and call your brother. "the doctor said". 

He walked out from the curtain. 

It's your turn Abdul Ra'uf. "Yahya said". 

Okay let me hurry. "Abdul Ra'uf said". 

He went and he took his blood for the test. The doctor told them to wait,  and in five minutes  they will be done with the results.

It was almost time for prayers; they sought permission to pray in the ward and come back and they were granted. 

Within five minutes they were done with the prayers. The doctor came and brought the results; none of them was qualified to her blood group. 

Doctor what if we can test a blood of stores wouldn't it be the same blood group. "Yahya said."

No. Because her blood group is B+ but both of you own was o+ and none is qualified to that. "the doctor said". 

There Yahya got a call and it was his wife. He answered it. 

Salamu Alaikum. "Yahya said". 

Walaikum Salam. Where are you people now? Am now in the hospital. "she asked". 

We are in the B2 delivery ward. Come there. "Yahya replied". 

Doctor, my wife is coming and I believe she will also do the blood test. "Yahya said". 

Okay may God make it possible for it to be that her own will match with her own. "the doctor said". 

Few minutes later they saw Zara coming with another woman behind her. 

Yahya was surprised to see her with that woman. 

Who will this woman be? And she seems to be in her late thirty or maybe more than. But why is she not wearing a Niqab? Or is she not married yet? But even if she is not married yet, she is supposed to wear a Niqab to make her Deen(religion) complete. But she looks beautiful and even taller than my wife. No, let me stop describing her in my mind. I want to cross the boundaries of Allah. "Yahya thought". 

Salamu Alaikum. "Zara greeted them".
