"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 living room where they found Khumais' walking around while touching the couches, center table and standing aircon.

They talked a little and played with Khumais' before the doorbell rang through the house. Khumais was the first to leave the living room followed by the couple that can't seem to keep their hands off each other. She suddenly felt like she want to cuddle with her husband but then remember that Zayn has to meet up with his father and best friend and she will be the one to finally make the soon to be co-wives face each other. She kind of find it funny because Maaysa is nervous about meeting Rukayyah while the latter can't wait to meet her.

"Assalamu Alaikum!" Rukayyah greeted, looking at the couple looking so cozy with each other. She never thought her sister and also best friend will finally be this happy after what happened and she don't want her to regain her memories because of some reasons.

"Wa'alaikum Assalam." The duo replied, moving out of the way for the woman dressed in a lacy green gown with white veil around her head in muffler. She looks like the married woman, already having the glow of married women which Nana could also feel in her body.

"I'll leave now, Mashhub is outside." He made sure Rukayyah isn't looking when he kissed her, hard and deep that only lasted for ten seconds before Khumais get in between them and wiggle around like a cheerleader.

They pulled away, Nana picked up Khumais and went back into the house not before giving Zayn a quick kiss on his cheek and he also gave one to Khumais who giggled all the way to the mini living room. Rukayyah is sitting there, without a veil and her pleated hair fell down to her shoulder in small waves. Nana felt jealous because she can't pleat her hair the way Rukayyah will do whenever she wants to.

"Yo, amarya." Nana greeted, keeping Khumais down on the floor but he didn't even bother sitting down, he stood up and went straight to Rukayyah's opened arms.

"Yo, uwargida." Rukayyah retorted, holding Khumais in her arms.

"That will be your names with Maaysa." Nana laughed, finding it all amusing and not awkward. She can't wait for them to start living together, they will make Mashhub go crazy and that's for sure.

"I know right." She beamed, making Nana slightly concerned because she's taking the subject too light for her liking but maybe she has her reasons.

"She's on her way. I think she's not ready to see you just yet, it's awkward to her." Nana explained, standing up from where she's sitting and ask Rukayyah to come with her so that they can sit in the general living room and eat something from her fridge but so not her chocolate.

"That's her!" Rukayyah immediately stood up from her seat and went to answer the door so Nana followed to save Maaysa from the tension.

Nana knows that since Maaysa is ready to be a second wife, she is really in love with Mashhub. Not every woman is ready to stay with another woman with the man she loves. There is only one thing she's not getting though, Rukayyah is acting really weird so she made a mental note to ask her what that is. Her cheerfulness is just out of the line. Even if she's okay with having a co-wife, there is only a certain amount of things a woman can do but not how Rukayyah is doing. Is she a bad friend for not noticing that something is off with her friend? Maybe.

"Assa-assalamu Alaikum." Maaysa started normally but stuttered when she saw Rukayyah's beautiful beaming face. She got nervous all of a sudden.

"Wa'alaikum assalam, new partner!" Rukayyah greeted back and hugged her close, she almost release tears but she didn't. Her emotions are so messed up and she needs to take a step and let them down for now.

"How are you?" Maaysa smiled hesitantly after moving away from her.

"I'm doing just great!" Rukayyah beamed and ushered her inside the house so they could talk about the wedding. It's just going to take away her problems and worried mind.

"You guys are already bonding and leaving me out of it. How great!" Nana sarcastically said to them, taking Khumais away from the glass on the center table. He'll just break it in no time.

"Oops! My bad, I kind of forgot that you're here." Rukayyah laughed at Nana murderous face before they continue to chatter away with Maaysa.

Nana could see that Maaysa is still not comfortable with the whole bonding with my co-wife. She didn't feel bad that they are going to be great friends now but knew they have to stand strong for each other or their friendship will go down the drain. She shook her head and walked to the kitchen to make something quick for them, making sure Khumais is curled in Maaysa's arms so he won't create any problem.

After whipping out a French toast for them and friso cream for Khumais, she went to the dining and set it down with hot coffee by the side. Yes it's afternoon but she wants to eat just that and the coffee is so creamy which made her mouth water while she's doing it.

"Lunch is ready!" She hollered from the dining room and sat herself down, she didn't wait for them and started digging in. She could see Maaysa trying to feed Khumais who kept wiggling around.

Zayn sat down on the couch with Mashhub by his side. They are in his father's house office and it looks empty because there are no more files and other huge project books that he kept around. When they produced lantern for the first time, his father worked very hard for the project and that makes the place rowdy and bulky. Now that he looks around, the place looks like it is not what it was some months back.

"So gentlemen, what are we doing here?" Yes, he knew what they are all here to talk about but that's how he likes to start talking like he's talking to his clients.

"About Maaysa, Baba." Zayn almost groaned, he could see Mashhub fidgeting on his seat.

It's not like he's afraid but they are talking about him marrying his daughter which will make everyone and anyone fidgety. Alhaji Khattab doesn't look at all intimidating since he's a funny go man and likes to make people smile. Right now, he's looking at both the young men with scrutinizing gaze so Zayn narrowed his eyes back at him, wanting him to come back in track and they should talk about this and get over with. It's Sunday for goodness sake and he just wants to spend it with his wife.

"Oh, yes. So what do you think about my daughter, son?" Alhaji Khattab threw the question at Mashhub who regained his composure and brought back his cheesy side.

"She's nice and very respectful." He answered with utmost sincerity. If he doesn't love her, he still will say the truth about her, she's like his sister after all.

"Uhm, masha'Allah!" Alhaji Khattab retorted with his Indian thick accent before adding, "Will you be able to do justice between the both of them?"

"Yes, I can."

"I like your confidence, son. I hope you will be able to do just that because this is a big step you're taking. I also want you to know that you are not forced into marrying Maaysa. She can be strong headed sometimes but we can tame her if you don't want to marry her. This is like a challenge and challenges are what makes life interesting and overcoming them is what makes life meaningful." Alhaji Khattab advised.

"I don't feel forced, Baba. And I'm ready to accept this challenge with whatever that comes along with it." He looks like another man and not Mashhub.

"That's wonderful. Now should we set the date with you or will you send your elders?" Alhaji Khattab asked, leaning back on the plush cream single couch.

"They'll be here shortly." Mashhub shyly answered, nudging Zayn for not saying a word and letting him do everything.

"So you came with your set and well prepared?" Alhaji Khattab's laughter boomed around the walls before they were informed that their guests are here.

Everything was finalised and the wedding is set, one month and two weeks. After that, everyone went home and Zayn immediately took his wife away from Rukayyah. Maaysa managed to sneak out of Rukayyah because she's not ready to see Mashhub already. And especially not with Rukayyah there, everything will be so awkward between them so she manage to sneak out.
