"Have to get to work early today, i've got an early meeting. I'll grab something at the canteen once i've arrived there okay?" Khalid explained as he tied his shoe lace.

"Well okay then. Goodluck. That means you're not having my breakfast today koh," Asiya pouted.

"No queen, i'd have loved to but i'm in a hurry," he locked the space between them and began planting kisses all over her.

"But you have time for this eh?"

"Ahhh okay i'm going. See you later. I feel like having Tuwo and miyar wake today, please make it,"

"Okay no problem king. Will do, now go before you blame me for making you late. Oh and be home on time for Amirah's birthday party "

"Will do babes," Khalid rushed out after giving his queen a tight bear hug.

Asiya shut the door behind her and proceeded to take a bath as she had an appointment at the spa. She quickly took her bath and wore a red and cream crepe material gown. She wore a red turban and draped a cream veil  around her shoulders. She hung her bag on her shoulder, unplugged her phone from the charger, grabbed her keys and left.

On reaching the spa, she met Safiya over there. Safiya eyed her and said to the lady attending to her to make sure she's done with her before attending to Asiya.

"Someone else will attend to her ma," The lady stated.

Safiya hissed and closed her eyes.

Asiya was next to Safiya as she was getting a facial. After that, she began treating her hair.
She began to get fed up of Safiya as she was laughing loudly with the person she was on video call with. Asiya happened to see the person's face she was on video call with by chance.

Probably one of her useless boyfriends that keep deceiving her, Asiya thought.

By around three thirty, Safiya left the spa and truth be told, Asiya was a bit relieved even though she had nothing against her. Few minutes later, Asiya also left. She headed to Wuse market to do some shopping before heading home. On her way home, she spotted the man that looked exactly like the one Safiya was on a video call with earlier. She parked her car to get a clearer view and holy shit, it was him. She tried not to make the same mistake with Khalid's case but it was really the boy and he was with another woman whom he was embracing. She walked out of the car pretending to go to the nearby kiosk. She overhead him saying to the Barbecue man there.

"This is my wife so give her the best parts of chicken you have. Oh wait this son of yours has been calling me nonstop to hear where we are. Let me talk to him."

"Okay then,"

Asiya was shocked. She went back to the car to process everything in her head. She then decided she'd tell Safiya everything she saw during he party.

By the time she got home it was almost maghrib. She expected to see Khalid's car already parked but it wasn't there. She went in, dropped her grocery in the kitchen and quickly went to her room to get ready. Amirah's party was immediately after maghrib.

She prayed asr and maghrib, did her azkhar and hopped in the shower for a cold shower. She came out all glowy and refreshed from all the spa treatments and the cold shower. She quickly wore her dress, it was a royal blue A line lace gown with balloon sleeves. She tied her silver raw silk skillfully as always. She put on her silver earrings from Khalid. She applied her kohl and a swipe of her go to Fenty gloss bomb and she was done. She then decided to call Khalid to hear when he'll be home.

She suddenly had her phone ring and rushed to get it hopping it'll be Khalid and yes, it was.

"Hello baby?" She said quickly.

"How're you?"

"I'm good. Where are you now?"

"Wallahi i've been stuck in another meeting apart from the on in the morning. I excused myself to use the bathroom so i could call you,"

"Oh oh so now i should go alone and you'll come later?"

"Yeah yeah. This should take just another 30 minutes i guess. I'm not going home ma. I'll just go straight to baba's house from here,"

"Okay then see you. I miss you dai,"

"Don't miss me too much. I'll be with you soon,"

Asiya gave her look a final go through before heading out.

Exactly fifteen minutes later she was in front of her in laws house and cars were already parked outside. She parked her car inside the compound since she was part of the family.
Once she alighted from the car she went straight to the backyard where everyone was.

"Good evening mama," she greeted her mother in law with a tight hug.

"Evening my daughter, where's Khalid? Is he parking the car?" She asked.

"Oh no, i came alone. He was stuck in a meeting but he'll be here very soon,"

"Okay. Kai you look so different. 7months of marriage is no joke!"

"Ahh mamaaa," Asiya whined.

"Better start preparing for my grandson. I have a feeling you're even expecting,"

"Haba mamaa. I'm not fah."

"I'm just joking, my daughter. Amirah and her friends are over there, go and see them,"

"Okay," Asiya walked over to the tent where Asiya and her friends were. They were about starting their photoshoot so she just joined them. Once they were done, Asiya handed Amirah her gift and wished her a happy birthday.

"Thanks sis! Where's ya Khalid?"

"He's on his way, he'll be here soon?"

"Have you heard the way your voice changes when his name is mentioned," Amirah laughed.

"Please stop teasing me. Come on let's go get something to eat,"

They all headed over to were the buffet was. Suddenly, Asiya bumped into someone.

"Oh i'm sorry. Didn't see you there Safiya,"

"Are you blind! Can't you see where you're going. I still don't know what my brother saw in you,"

"Hey lower your voice!  You can't always speak rudely to me like that," Asiya unusually retaliated.

"Tonight, you'll be sorry," she smirked.

"Please focus on your life and boyfriends. Oh speaking of boyfriends, i saw your boyfriend with his wife buying suya and their son at home was busy calling them,"

"Oh please!!!! Stop it!  You just can't bare to see me happy. You expect me to believe you,"

"Well don't, your cup of tea," with that, she left to get her food.

The party was still going on and everyone was enjoying themselves. Asiya noticed Khalid had still not arrived so she decided to call him. On calling him twice without answering, she becameso worried, even Amirah and mama noticed it. She kept on calling and calling but still no answer.

"What's wrong?" Mama asked.

"Uhm. Khalid is still not here and he isn't picking,"

"Have you tried both his lines?"

"I've tried all. I've texted him, no reply."

"Don't worry maybe his battery is flat or something," Amirah said.

"I hope so, i just--" her sentence was cut off with her phone ringing. It was an unknown number.

"Someone's calling. It might be Khalid," Asiya said hopefully.

"Hello?"

"Yes i'm Asiya Yusuf Bande,"

"What???!!! La'ilaha illalahu Muhammadu rasulu lahi sallalhu alaihi wa sallam!" Asiya let out a loud scream.

"Asiya, Asiya!!! What happened? Who was that?" Amirah aske and bent down to an Asiya that was crying on the ground.

"He...he..."

"What? Who?"

"Kh...kha...khalid," she hiccuped.

"What happened to my son?" Mama asked worriedly.

"Accident!" Asiya screamed with fresh tears.

"Let's go! I want to go to Khalid now!!!" Asiya got up and started running towards the car. Amirah quickly followed her to prevent her from driving in the condition she was in. They got a driver to take them all to the hospital.

On reaching the hospital, she didn't even let the car stop properly when she opened the door. She tripped and fell on her tummy but got up immediately not minding the pain she sustained in her tummy from falling on a medium sized stone.

"Where's my husband?  Kh...khalid Bande?" She asked the receptionist.

Just then mama, Amirah, Ya Musa and baba also came in. Amirah took Asiya with her to calm her down as they sat on the benches on the hallway.

Asiya suddenly felt a sharp pain in her lower abdomen and winced in pain as she held her tummy tightly causing everyone to turn to her.

"What's wrong?" Mama asked and came to sit next to Asiya who was now between Amirah and mama.

"Nothing. Just a bloat," she knew it was more than that but she just kept shut.

"Just keep calm. Don't worry he'll be fine In shaaAllah,"

"I hope so."

Just then the doctors came out of the ICU and everyone got up.

"Is my husband fine?" Asiya asked in a very weak and defeated voice with a bent figure due to her so called 'bloat'.

"Yes you may see him now but don't make too much noise. He's awake now,".

The doctor left and they all went in but Asiya stayed my the door with her body against the wall. She fought back her tears as she didn't want Khalid to see her like that. On realising she couldn't she walked in slowly.

Before setting her eyes on Khalid, Asiya was on the floor wincing in pain and in a small pool of blood.

"Wai what's happening to you Asiya," Mama asked as they all rushed to her.

"A..asiya," Khalid called out weakly. He tried getting down but he couldn't as he was very weak and Ya Musa stopped him.

"Call the doctors," Mama ordered as she tried to pick Asiya up who was slowly passing out.

Amirah rushed out to get the doctors and nurses. She came back immediately with a stretcher and admitted her in the next room.

They went back to Khalid's room to meet him.

"How is Asiya?" Khalid asked.

"The doctors have taken her in. She'll be fine In shaaAllah."

"What was all that blood?"

"I also don't know untill the doctor tells us. She probably sustained an injury when she fell outside," Amirah said.

It was aready 11:30, Ya Musa convinced his parents to go home and he and Amirah will look after both of them.

Amirah fell asleep in Asiya's room and Ya Musa in Khalid's room.

The next morning, Mama and baba came to the hospital alongside Asiya's mum and her brother, Ya Sadiq.

"How is she doing now?" Maa, Asiya's mum asked Amirah.

"Much better,"

"What happened to her, " Mama asked.

"The doctors didn't tell me too. They insisted her entire family be there too."

"Oh let's talk to him."

"No go in and see her, I'll call him," Amirah said.

The rest walked into Asiya's room and began asking her how she felt.

"Maa i don't even know what happened to me. The doctor said he'll only tell me once you all come," Asiya Lamemted.

"Mama how is Khalid doing,"

"Wallahi he is so much better than before. He can at least go to the bathroom himself now,"

"Alhamdulillah," Asiya smiled.

Just then Amirah came in with the doctor.

"Doctor good morning, please what happened to my daughter?" Maa asked.

"Well i'm sorry but she lost her baby and it doesn't seem like she knew she was 5 weeks pregnant,"

"Noooo!" Asiya screamed. Amirah rushed to a devastated Asiya to console her.

"I didn't even know i was pregnant. And now, now it's gone without mine or Khalid's love," she cried and cried.

"Her womb got a little damaged which was partially corrected. She might not be able to conceive again but keep your hopes alive,"

"No doctor please don't say that. I want to fulfill my husband's dream,"Asiya said with a shaky voice.

"Please just pray you'll be better soon. Calm down," be said and left.

Everyone consoled her as she kept crying and crying nonstop until she developed a headache and slept off. They all left her to sleep peacefully and went to see Khalid.

"Mama what's wrong with Asiya? Everything fine?" Khalid asked worriedly. His voice was stronger andn he looked better. Luckily for him the injury was just on his head and a few bruises on his body.

"You lost your baby Khalid," Ya Musa said.

"What?! What baby?" Khalid asked confused.

"Asiya was 5 weeks pregnant," Amirah chipped in.

"Innalillahi wa'inna ilaihi raji'un, it left without our love," Khalid wiped his tears and prayed silently for his lost baby and his wife.

"She must have been so devastated, i want to see her now," He attempted getting up but Amirah stopped him."How did it happen?" He asked.

"When we arrived at the hospital to see you, the car didn't stop competely so she rushed out. She was in a haste to see you and she fell. The doctor said she might not be able to conceive again. You should rest, she's asleep now, you can see her later,"

"Okay, oh my Asiya, My personal queen," he cried amd covered his face with his palms.

Mama couldn't bear it and she left the room. Baba quickly went after her and Maa followed.

"Please leave me alone for a while," He said to Ya Musa and Amirah.

They both left and he went back into his train of thoughts, thinking about how she lost the baby while running to him and how she might bot be able to conceive again.

Well i didn't see that coming, how was the chapter guys? Leave a comment below!

I feel bad for Asiya. Both partners are lying on hospital bed and they lost the baby they didn't know they had. Worst of all they can't console each other due to their condition. The emotional pain is too much fah.

Keep riding on with me for more delish chapters!
