It's been two days since Kamal left
I was actually enjoying some free time but he texted me saying he is coming back with a surprise.

The past two days,school has been very joyful especially when my close friends found out I have phone.

Well the Bikr's home has been as normal as ever
Everyone was lost in his world
The only time you find Kamil with Uncle is when they are watching news or a football match
And ofcourse during breakfast,lunch and dinner.

I called home yesterday and no one picked,i called more than three times
I found it strange but I pray they are all good.in sha Allah because I trust him.

I have got a new driver,his name is Hassan very nice man.he is also from gombe and gisted me on what has been happening in our state.

"Alright friends,see you tomorrow"I said waving as i walked away to the car

"Don't forget to bring your note tomorrow"Ismail shouted

"Mallam Hassan,how was the day?"I asked after closing the door

"Alhamdulilah,junior oga ya dawo (junior sir came back)"he replied

"Really?"I asked

"Yes"he replied

The ride to home was really silent.
When I got in i heard noises in the living room.

"You can't just go bring a child suddenly"I heard uncle Ali say

"Dad!it's my life"that's definitely Kamal

I walked into the living room and before I could speak a little creature hugged my waist tightly.

"Mummy?"he asked looking up to Kamal

And they stopped arguing turning to our direction.

I look down he was the cutest creature I have ever seen,he looked a little bit Asian.
I knelt down to his height I kissed his two cheeks then his noise and started giggling.

"She's not mummy"Kamal corrected trying to move him away from me
I looked around and found Raliyah admiring the little kid.

"Kamal,we all know you wanted to adopt him since last year but you should have at least informed us"uncle Ali spoke standing up from the sofa

"Yeah,we would have prepared"Kamil added
The little kid kept climbing up and down the sofa.

"He is now my son,I take care of him.
I don't need your permission"Kamal added looking at the child who seemed lost in his world

"Kamal,don't talk to your dad like that if you want your son to grow up and respect you"I said walking up to Kamal and he gave me a who asked you look
I shrugged smiling

"Thank you,Malak"Kamil said smiling as he stood up also

"So what name are you giving this cute young man?"uncle Ali asked

"Nope...still thinking.what about Aahil?"Kamal asked thoughtfully

"Aayan, he is God's gift"I suggested and the child got off the sofa

"Every child is God's gift but we don't go naming them Aayan"Kamal said with a scoffed

"You know few minutes ago I thought you had sense"I snapped

"Did she just called you senseless?"Kamil asked laughing
Kamal glared at me and his brother

"Why don't we ask the little guy what he prefers?"uncle Ali suggested

"Exactly!"Kamal exclaimed

"I will go with Malak"Raliyah spoke shyly behind the sofa
Kamal eyed her

"He is just three"Kamil stated

"He knows what's good"uncle Ali Said smiling

We all turned to a giggling three year old Korean who has been playing with my veil.

I knelt down infront of him and an impatient Kamal knelt down next to me.

"Son,Aahil"Kamal ordered holding the little boys tiny hands

"Aayan"I said softly smiling

"Choose your name grandson"Uncle Ali said from behind

"Wierdest family,the kid gets to choose his name.this could make a great scene in a book"Kamil said thoughtfully

While the little boy kept looking at Kamal and i
"Mummy,Aayan"he squealed putting his arms around my neck giving me sloppy kisses.I chuckled

Uncle Ali and Kamil laughed while Raliyah clapped happily

Kamal groaned as he stood up "So the moment you meet a woman you turn your back on me?"he asked

Aayan lets go of me then looked up to Kamal with this cute puppy eyes.

"Daddy!"he called stretching his arms
Kamal chuckled carrying him up and blowing sounds into his stomach while he burst into laughter.

"Welcome to the family Aayan"Uncle Ali called ruffling his hair

"One wierd family. Is not too late to change your mind child"Kamil said nonchalantly to a child who just stared at him

"Kamil!"I exclaimed

Aayn turned to Kamil and shouted "Daddy again!two daddy"

We burst into to laughs at the boy's confusion later on i explained to him that Kamil is uncle,daddy's twin.

"You cooked something for lunch right?"I asked Raliyah

"Yes"she replied

"Okay"I said with a smile

Kamal,Kamil,uncle Ali and Aayan decided to watch football match I used the opportunity to take my bath.

Who knew Kamal liked children,and he has been trying to adopt one since last year.

Aayan was a really bubbly child.

******

Kamal left for the hospital after Asr prayer.
Aayan kept running away and screaming around the room
While i read my lecture notes
after he has wore himself out he tiredly placed his head on my laps.

"Is our Aayan tired?"I asked looking at his sleepy face

He mumbled something I couldn't understand.

Few hours later,I laid him on the bed with two pillows around him.he reminded me so much of Yusra

I wiped the involuntary tears that rolled down my cheeks.

"Raliyah,were you able to grate the okro I asked you to?"I asked going through the refrigerator

"Yes"she replied handing me a bowl of grated okro

"Great!"I exclaimed excitedly

"Malak your adopted son is so cute.one of my friend called Naimah,she said anytime she is going to visit Korean she will surely adopt a kid from there
Now she is in two hundred level studying banking and finance
She said her dream will surely come true"Raliyah narrated happily

I smiled studying Raliyah
She really adored school,I think I should speak to uncle Ali.

After we cooked dinner,the prayer for Magrib was being called so we left to pray then come down later to eat.
I brought down the curtains as soon as I came out of the bathroom.

I Carried my hijab and wore it then I started praying.when I was in the last rakaah
I felt Aayn standing next to me and he followed all my moves.

"As salamu alaikum warahmatullah"I whispered to my right

"As salmau alaikum warahmatullah"then I whispered to my left

I heard him make some "ssss" sound.
After I finished my supplications,I prayed for the best.

"Aayan,you want to be praying with me?when did you wake up?"I asked

The little boy looked at me confused

"Let's see"I said carrying him and holding him by my right.

My phone rang and Kamal flashed on the screen.

"Yes"I said after answering the call

"Listen,there is a small suitcase at the side of mine.it contains two to three sets of clothes for Aayan.
Bath him,he likes night bath.
I will come back around nine then we will go to shop more of the things he needs.
Ask Kamil to show you his room"he explained

"Okay"I said then he hung up

I bath him and he was shivering a little wrapped in his tiny towel.
I checked the suitcase for a pair of pyjamas and yes I found a funny pair.
It's monkey pyjamas.

I held his tiny hands as we walked around the hallway.
"Uncle!"Aayan screamed as we came across him.

"Kamil,just the person I was looking for"I said smiling

"The little guy's room?"he asked looking at Aayan

"Yes"I said

"Its opposite you and Kamal's"he said
And great Kamal couldn't just cut the story short and tell me its a room across.

"Oh"i said
"Let's to eat dinner,it's ready"I added Turning around with Aayan

We went downstairs to the living room.Uncle Ali was already there.

"He needs his baby chair"Kamil said

"Exactly,can you even eat little guy?"uncle Ali asked

I served the food to uncle and Kamil.
The chair was too high for Aayan so we sat on the carpet.

He tasted the soup and made a funny face.

"He's never tasted a nigerian food maybe"I said smiling

But he chewed the swallow really well ignoring the okro soup.

After dinner,we prayed Isha even though Aayan prayed only two.I'm glad he is following the right path.

We went into his room and it was really beautiful with sky blue wallpaper.
The ceiling was painted like a sky.

His little bed had all sorts of stuffed toys,balls on the floor and a big kids car by the side of his small desk and chair.

I put him in bed and within few minutes he fell asleep.I covered him with the mini blanket and switched off the lights then I walked out.

Kamal is a very confusing man

I can't believe it hasn't been a year since I left home but I'm married with a child.

I waited for Kamal and he didn't come so sleep swept me off my feet.

Ah!I love lovevvvvvvvveeeee

Their pretty tiny eyes 😩😩😩😩😩😩
Well,I also wish to adopt one ,
