Nurse, not this room. It's the next room.. Nurse Titi said to the nurse who said the results don't match.

Ohh my bad, I'm sorry ... The nurse said and left.

Ok so? Please what does the result say... Dad asked Nurse Titi

Good news, the results do match.
Ohh thank God...I said

Few hours later
Zainab, how are you feeling now... I asked zainab who just woke up.
Who are you?.. zainab asked

What!! But they didn't say she has amnesia

Hahahaha.. Zainab started laughing

I'm just kidding Abduljallal, I don't have amnesia, where's aunt and uncle? Zainab asked but I just smiled looking at her

Did Abduljallal also hit his head? Why is he smiling at me?... She whispered to herself

You know I can hear you baa? And to answer your curiosity. I didn't hit my head. You just look so cute... I said pulling her cheeks, but she just looked at me surprised by my act, which I was also surprised of

As soon as I heard someone enter I immediately removed my hands from her cheeks

Wow zainab you're awake, how are you feeling now? ... Mom asked zainab

I'm fine now just a little headache but I guess I'll be fine if I take my medicines and I'm sorry for making you guys worry. I'm so so sorry

Yes you sure did make us worry but haha, you shouldn't be sorry. Here I bought food for you. It's spaghetti...mom said smiling at zainab.

Oh thank you ma
You are welcome, eat I'll be right back.
Ok ma

As mom left I fetched the spaghetti on a plate and gave it to zainab to eat but she just stared at the food then back at me.

What again? Do you want me to feed you... I asked her but she quickly shook her head implying no.

She started eating and after that she took her medicines then slept off

..... zainab, have you taken your medicines?
Shhhh...mom she's sleeping and yes, she has taken her medicines

Ok that's good, the doctor said she will be discharged tomorrow, since she's better now

Ok, alhamdulillah


Next day....
Good morning Mom, good morning Dad.
Morning, where are you going to...mom asked.

I just want to pick up zainab, she's gonna be discharged today, remember?

Ohh yes, ok go on..mom said

Having a soft side for her huhn? Dad asked smiling

Oh dad please
I'll be right back
Allah Hafiz... I said

Assalamualaikum zainab, are you in?
Waalaykum salaam, I'm here come

So how are you feeling now?
Hope no more headache...I asked zainab

Yes I'm fine now, alhamdulillah
Ok alhamdulillah, so let's go home

Sir, please can you help me with this bag.
Ohh zainab, what's wrong with you? Just yesterday when you woke up you called me by my name and now, you want to start with the sir? You can call me Abduljallal, it's fine.

Ok... Zainab answered
So which bag is it?

That... zainab said pointing to a black polythene bag

Ok let's go...I said as I carried the bag.

As soon as we reached outside, we  hopped into the car and drove off

Zainab, so what was your first impression of me? I asked zainab, while driving

Random question huhn?

Zee just answer

A nickname huhn?

Oh my God, toh zainab answer... As I said that she started laughing and soon , I joined her.

Ok, its okay, you know I'm driving I can't get distracted by laughing and you also just got out of the hospital... I said cutting her laughter short.

Yh right.
Ok so answer my question
You're still on that? Zainab asked me, trying not to laugh.

Zainab just answer or I'll drop you off here.

Ok, ok hmmm... Let me think. You were kind of quiet, bossy and grumpy. No offense please

No offense taken...I said
What about now..I asked

Ok now you're getting friendly, and you are no longer the bossy kind, I don't know if you are gonna change though, but I like this side of you better

Don't worry, you'll be seeing this side of me now

I pray so oo... Zainab said

Assalamualaikum we are back...I said entering the house while zainab followed behind me.

Waalaykum salaam, zainab how area you feeling now? I hope no more headaches... Mom asked zainab.

Yes ma, I'm okay now alhamdulillah
 
I removed my phone from my pocket as soon as I heard it vibrate

Shhhh, it's from the company I applied for .... I told Mom, who was asking me who it was.

Assalamualaikum
Waalaykum salaam..........

So, what did they say...mom asked anxiously

I was told to bring a lady with me for the meeting

A lady? I don't get

I mean my wife or wife to be
Oooh but you don't have one

Zainab, Abduljallal, when did you guys arrive?... Dad asked descending down the stairs

Not long dad
Ok, so how are you feeling now zainab

I'm much better now, sir thank you

I heard you people saying something before I came down, so what's up with what they said?
Saadatu Daarain is the name of the company right?

Yes Dad, but I don't have a wife or wife to be. I don't know why they want an employer with a wife

I hear from a friend that the company is a really big one, so they wouldn't want to take any risk by employing an irresponsible person... Dad said.

So u mean someone who is married is responsible?

Yes I think so
What kind of ideology is that?
Son, you just have to follow the system...

Why don't you take zainab...mom said

What!!! Zainab and I shouted in unison
Abduljallal, your mom is right. why don't you take zainab?

It's not like we are forcing you to marry her, it's just for that meeting.

You two should think about it ok?.. Amira let's go

Zainab's POV
As soon as Uncle Muhammad and Aunt Amira left, Abduljallal looked at me scratching his head
So, zainab would you go with me?... He asked.

Hmm I'm sorry, I can't

I laughed at Abduljallal who was looking sad already

Of course I'll go with you, when is it?
It's tomorrow at 9am.

Wow, that early?.. I don't have what to wear though

Don't worry, I'll talk to mom, she would help you with that.
