After the Nikah was conducted, Zara and Faisal's happiness knew no bounds. Zara realized that she's indeed still deeply in love with Faisal.

Both families were happy with the turn of event, they are all smiles as they congratulate each other. The families couldn't help but laugh at the circumstances. This is indeed the first time they witnessed a Nikah being took place in a hospital.

"Let's give them some alone time, shall we?" Ammar said smiling. Everyone of them saluted Ammar of what he did. He is indeed the most selfless person. He sacrificed the love he had for Zara for happiness. This is true love he have for her indeed.

Alhaji Umar and the rest of the elders , consoled him with nice words and prayers putting their blessings on him, which he smiled and thanked them before leaving the hospital.

"Alhamdulillah." Faisal whispers smiling at Zara.

"Alhamdulillah." Zara whispers back smiling holding his hands. It feels good touching his hands for the first time, in the halal way.

"It feels good to feel your touch for the first time ever." Faisal said entwining their hands smiling at her.

"I'm sorry." He started looking at her.

"Shhhhh." Zara said using her index finger to close his lips.

Ammar used the piece of tissue to wipe his tears that seems to not stop to fall. The pain he is feeling is an indescribable one. His heart is aching badly.

He still can't believe that Zara is someone else's and will never be his , not in this lifetime or the hereafter. His heart is still yearning for her love. He spent years loving her and he will forever love till his last breath.

He smiled when he remembers something. He re-unite two lovers. He made his Zara smile. They were not meant to be and he accept that as part of his qadr.

'Ya Allah, replace her with whom you think is the best for me. Amin' Ammar prayed.

He felt a hand touching his shoulder and when he looked up , he met with his mother's precious eyes.

"Maryam has told me everything that happened and I'm proud of you abnay; Son, you sacrificed your love by re-uniting two lovers. May Allah replace her with a good spouse who will love you just like you loved her and may Allah grant you children that will be the coolness of your eyes." His mother said hugging him.

"Thanks Mom." He said hugging her back smiling.

"Zara is here to see you." She said after they free from the hug.

"Zara?" Ammar asked surprised. What could be the reason for her sudden visit.

"Yes." His mother said. "Zara, please come in." She added.

Zara slowly came into the room , she smiled at her Aunt which she also smiled back and patted her back before leaving.

"Zara?" Ammar asked seeing as how she's suddenly started crying.

"Ya Ammar i don't know what to say to you, thank you Ya Ammar, thank you, i will forever be grateful to you." Zara said breaking into more sobs. Ya Allah what did she did to deserve this selfless man.

"Zara please stop crying, it's nothing okay, your happiness is more than anything to me okay?" He said smiling at her despite his heart paining.

"No Ya Ammar, you loved me so much and stood by my side all this years, and i did nothing to repay you in return, Ya Ammar , i'm sorry for not able to reciprocate the love you had for me, I'm really am, please forgive me." Zara said looking at him more tears streaming down her cheeks.

"Ya Allah Zara, please stop with your tears, my heart ache in pain whenever i see you in tears Zara, please stop Zara okay." Ammar said smiling at her.

"Ya Ammar, i'v never seen a selfless person like you, Ya Ammar, May Allah replace me with a more good spouse who will love you more than you did for me Ya Ammar, thank you so much." Zara said wiping her tears.

"Amin Zara. But do you know what you will do to repay me?" He asked looking at her.

"No." She nodded her head.

"You should never cry again okay? i always want to see this beautiful face with a smile okay? and also you should stop thanking me, hmm?" He said smiling at her.

"Yes." She said smiling at the same time more tears gushing out from her eyes.

"Good, now we are friends aren't we?" He said smiling at her.

"Yes, best friends for that matter." Zara said smiling at him.

"That's like my Zara." He said smiling and she laughed.

Two days later the doctors discharged Faisal as his health is now good and steady. In the last few days he spent at the hospital, Zara did nothing but took care of him. And he couldn't be more happier and thank his lord for the infinite blessings.

"Yaya, now that you are okay, when will Zara be conveyed to your house?" Feenah asked with a smile on her face.

"Yes Yaya , I'm so happy can't wait for Adda Zara to be finally here." Maesha and Khadijah squealed at the same time.

"Or should we go bring her ourselves?" Dinah said making them to all laugh at her.

"I don't know when they will love to convey her to us, but i will ask Hajiya Maryam about that. Would the two of you love to have any event?" Hajiya Aisha said.

"Yes Maama we want." Khadijah eagerly said.

"He is the groom not you Khadijah." Hajiya Aisha said making Khadijah to pout.

"No Maama, i don't think we will have any, but i will ask her about it, but i doubt so , if she would want any too." Faisal said.

"Okay, but I think you two should have even if it will be a small dinner like that, only family relatives and close friends, don't you think." Hajiya Aisha said.

"Okay Maama, if you say so." Faisal said.

"Yayy." The girl's squealed.

Two days later Fasial's family sent the lefe Zara's family, although Alhaji Umar told them there is no need , they still sent it saying that it's the tradition and the bride Zara deserves it. Thirty boxes, A brand new car and one Million Naira cheque were sent. It was all over the media.

News have already spread like wildfire and it's all over the internet that Fatima Zara and Faisal are back together and set to marry. People were very happy and congratulating them.

The makeup artist did her last touch on Zara's face before smiling. "Amarya; bridey we are done, you just need to look at how stunning you look." She said smiling at Zara.

"Yes Zara, you need to look at yourself Mashaa Allah." Mufida and Hafsy gushed at the same time.

"Thank you all." Zara said smiling. She too knows she looks stunning and beautiful. She is dressed in a white ball gown which looked immaculately beautiful on her, her head gear perfectly tied to perfection. With jewelries adorning her ear, neck and wrist.

Her hands are designed with red and black henna which also looked beautiful on her. She looks so stunning like the bride is.

"Let's get going girls, it's getting late, it's almost 8pm and Faisal and his friends are already waiting downstairs." Nafida and Mimi said coming into the room.

"Oh my gosh, you look so stunning baby." They said and hugged her.

"Thank you."

They came down shortly and left to the parking lot where they met Faisal and his friends waiting. Some relatives are also there. He is gorgeously dressed in a white Kaftan which complimented his fair skin with his babban riga whch looked immaculately good on him. His cap gingerly perched on his head. He had on his expensive rolex watch on and his expensive Gucci shoes. He looks so stunning Mashaa Allah.

"Here is your bride Mr man, till we meet at the even center." Mufida said smiling.

"Sure." Faisal said and took hold of Zara's hands. She still hasn't look at him. Why is she suddenly shy.

"Amaryar mu kinyi kyau sosai fa; Our bride you look so stunning Mashaa Allah." Mubarak, Faisal's friend said from where he is seated on the drivers seat.

"Thank you." Zara said ducking her head down.

"Hey Mr driver , do your job and drive us to the event center." Faisal playfully said.

"Always at your service Sir." Mubarak laughed and roared the ignition to life.

"Why are we suddenly shy? huh?" Faisal said titling Zara's jaw so she could look at him.

"I'm not." Zara chuckled and looked at him. Oh how she loves this man sitting right next to her.

"You sure." He said wrapping his arms around her resting her head on his broad chest.

"Yes." She whispers snuggling more into him.

MARHABA EVENT CENTER, KANO
GRAND MARQUEE.

They arrived shortly at the event center, the couple got down from the car hands entwined. Guests and relatives were already seated in the hall waiting patiently for the bride and groom's entrance.

The dinner is a classy one, which consist of only close family relatives and friends. The Mc announced their entrance and the bride and groom set their foots into the hall.

'Surrender' by Natalie Taylor immediately boost out from the speakers as the bride and groom made their entrance to the hall. Photographers, videographers were taking their shots. With people gushing about how cute they look.

They made their way to their seat which is reserved for them. The Mc called the bridesmaids to dance which they immaculately danced with their classy step. After they were done, the groomsmen also came and did their dance steps.

"Now it's time for the bride and groom who we are all here for to also show us their steps." The Mc said eliciting laughs from the audience.

"Are you ready baby?" Faisal whispers into Zara's ears.

"Uhm, but i'm kind of shy you know,Abbie, Maama, Daddy and Mummy are all here, so how can we..." Zara whispered back.

"Relax baby, it will be a slow one okay?" He said squeezing her hands in assurance which she smiled at him.

They made their way to the dance floor and immediately 'Surrender' by Natalie Taylor was replayed.

Faisal put on his arms around her waist and she slowly put her left arm around him while the other one held his left hand which is also holding hers.

They danced slowly with people doing their annoying. 'Aws' , photographers and videographers snapping their shots and the Mc hyping them.

And after that pictures were taken and all and the dinner ended.

The next day the Kamu and yini took place and Zara was set to be conveyed. She is dressed in an expensive ankara sewn into skirt and fitted blouse, her headgear perfectly tied. And she had on a golden Alkyabba.

After her parents gave her the 'Nasiha' and all, the crying session began and after that she was taken to Alhaji Abdulmanaf's Mansion.

Hajiya Aisha immediately engulfed Zara in a wholesome hug when she was conveyed peppering her with kisses.

"You are welcome my daughter." She said after they sat down drawing Zara to her bosom.

"Thank you Maama." Zara said hugging her back.

"She's now yours , we have conveyed her to you, and we hope you will accept this Amana given to you." One of Zara's Aunt said.

"You need not to worry, Zara is our daughter now, and In Sha Allah, there will never be a problem." Hajiya Ruqayya said smiling at them.

"We are really grateful for that." The bride's Aunties said. And after that they prayed for the couple before leaving their daughter to her new family.

"Shhhhh,haba mana, stop crying my daughter, we are now your family okay?" Hajiya Aisha said patting Zara's head which is on her chest.

"Would like to have some food?" Hajiya Ruqayya asked smiling at Zara. Zara shook her head indicating no.

"Mashaa Allah, she's so beautiful, May Allah bless their home." Relatives came seeing Zara's face.

"But Adda Ruqayya , i heard that she isn't from our tribe, fulani, why would you let Faisal marry her." A nosy woman said.

"That doesn't matter, as long as they love each other, there's nothing there, please respect yourself." Hajiya Ruqayya sternly said making all of them to shut their mouths.

"Adda Zara, come with me please." Maesha who has been clutched to Zara said.

"Ah an, Maesha, stop being clingy and leave her to rest, she's tired okay." Hajiya Aisha said making Maesha to pout and the occupant of the room laugh.

"Where is Faisal, i think it's time to leave, but before then, Feenah you girls should take her to you Abbie to greet him after that take her to your Yaya's room, he must be on his way now." Hajiya Aisha said handing Zara's hands to Dinah.

"Sure Maama." The two of them said and held Zara's hands. They took her to Alhaji Abdulmanaf's parlor and after she greeted him which he cheerfully answered and bless her, they left to Faisal's room.

Shortly after they arrived at Faisal's side of the mansion.

"You can open your face now Zara, we are here." Dinah said smiling at her after they sat her on the bed.

Feenah took the hem of Zara's Alkyabba and drew it back revealing Zara's beautiful face.

"You are so beautiful Mashaa Allah, Yaya is really lucky." Feenah exclaims grinning.

Zara smiled sheepishly before saying. "Thank you Feenah, um.. i want to pray."

"Sure the bathroom is over there." Dinah said to her.

"Okay." Zara said and removed her Alkyabba before making her way to the bathroom.

"She got the body babes, Mashaa Allah." Dinah squealed when Zara enters the bathroom.

"Yes. That's why Yaya has gone gaga over her." Feenah said squealing too.

Zara entered the spacious bathroom that is everything boyish. That made her smile.

"Neat freak. He will never change." She chuckled looking at how neat the bathroom is. In the past few years when they were away, she's noticed that he hasn't change, he is still the loving person she knew him to be and that for she is very glad.

"Oh my Allah, still can't believe I'm married to him, as in, he is my husband? i'm his wife? yippee Alhamdulillah Ya Allah." Zara squealed.

Where could he be. She thought. She was smiling through out the time she was performing ablution. She came out after she was done and Feenah and Dinah has already spread the prayer mat and kept a hijab for her.

She prayed to Allah (SWT) to bless their new hom, and to put baraka in their marriage. She prayed for a peaceful home and loving one and she prayed for pious children too.

"Zara, you should lay on the bed and rest, Yaya just called , he will be here in a few." Dinah said.

"Okay." Zara said and neatly folds the prayer mat and hijab and kept it aside before slowly climbing the bed. It feels so god. Ya Allah! she can't believe she's on his bed right now.

"Adda Zaraaaa." Khadija and Maesha squealed coming into the room with Khadijah holding a tray of what seems to be dinner.

Maesha immediately climbed the bed and snuggled into Zara giggling.

"Adda Zara, i'm so happy you're here." She giggled. Zara smiled at her.

"What are you doing Maesha, allow her to rest." Dinah cautions.

"Adda, I brought some dinner for you and Maama said, i should make sure you eat." Khadijah said smiling.

"Actually Khadijah, I'm not hungry." Zara said yawing. She's very tired and just wanna sleep.

"You should have some Zara, even if it's two spoon." Feenah said. Zara ate a little and after she was done, Faisal called Dinah and told her he's arrived, so all of them bade her and left.

Zara's heart began beating loudly on her chest.

"Salamu Alaikum." His husky voice said coming into the room. She shut her eyes closed, her beating loudly her rib cage.Ya Allah. She loves this man standing right beside her.

"Hm, i see my bride won't even talk to me or answer my Salam." Faisal sitting beside her on the bed his cologne which she loves so much hitting her.

"Wa Alaikassalam." She whispers opening her eyes and set them on his smiling and handsome face. He leaned in and kissed her forehead which made her closed her eyes relishing the wonderful feeling.

"Have you prayed?" He asked looking at her. He still can't believe this beautiful, innocent and adorable being is his halal now.

"Yes." She breath. She too doesn't know why she's suddenly shy of him. But she's read online that , it's okay for brides to be shy on their wedding night.

"I have also prayed, are you ready?" He said holding her hands.

She looked at him before nodding her head. She wonders what he meant.

"Let's leave then." He said standing her on her feet, he put on her Alkyabba back on before looking at her adoringly.

"Ya Allah! Thank you for blessing with an amazing wife like her." He said making her to chuckle.

He smiled and draw her into him , and placed her head on his chest hovering over her petite body. They both smiled relishing the feeling. Nothing is greater than feeling the touch of your halal. This is surely their first body contact and the feeling is amazing.

They stayed like that for like five minutes before he kissed her forehead and parted away.

"Let's leave, it's getting late." He said and wrapped his arms around her back before exiting the room. They went into the main house and bade them with the elders putting endless blessings on them before leaving. The driver was already waiting for them, so as soon as they came out of the house , they entered in and he zoomed off.

Halfway through the drive , Zara laid her head on his chest snuggling into him. He used his strong arms and wrapped her.

"Are we feeling sleepy already?" Faisal kvetched smiling at her.

"Um." She said snuggling more into him.

Zara woke up only to feel half of her body in a pair of strong arms. She looked up and saw Faisal staring at her smoothening her hair. Her Alkyabba and headgear are nowhere to be found.

"We are awake." He exclaimed.

She smiled back at him. "Yes, where are we?" She asked looking around and she gasped when she saw where they were.

"Oh my God, Faisal what are we doing in a jet?" She asked bewildered.

"Obviously we are traveling." He said using her hands to pinch her cute nose making her to pout at him.

"You didn't told me about us traveling did you?" She said pinching him.

"Ouch." He yelps. "It hurts." He added.

"That's for keeping it away from me." She said smirking.

"I wanted it to be a surprise so..." He said pecking her on her lips.

"And i love it damn, where are we going?" She asked excited.

"It's for me to know and for you to find out baby." He said and laughed when she scrunched off her face.

"We shall see then." She said snuggling more into him.
