Twist of Fate(BOOK 1)
Chapter 23

Sofia

I was currently in pure bliss, cloud nine, smiling cheekily, happy because we did the deed the previous night.

There was nothing more blessed than a couple to copulate their marriage.

The aftermath, I was sore. I meant I couldn't walk properly. It was painful, pleasurable and was enjoyable.

It was bitter sweet.

He carried me to the bathroom and bathed for me like a baby.

We cuddled and I slept like I'd never, waking up from my long nap, I felt a gentle hand touching me, urging me to wake up. I woke up and saw it was Yusuf; waking me to eat. He was so handsome and sexy.

All mine.

I was shy with all the scars on my body but he kissed all and told me I was beautiful and didn't change his love for me.

It mended my soul and heart.

It made my love to multiply more than before.

It made me forget all my insecurities.

It made me forget all the bad memories and made me have confidence in my body.

The other night was memorable and awesome.

*****

We were in the sitting room cuddling and watching a film together when a question popped into my head. The question I'd been meaning to ask but always waved it off.

"Ife Mi*, let's play twenty questions"I said looking at him with pure love and he hummed in response. (My love)

"How and when did you start loving me or how did you know me upon all the beautiful girls outside there" he frowned his face then pecked my lips murmuring, "I shouldn't say that".

"Since the first time I set my eyes on you, when you were playing in the rain. You look happy and carefree, I love the bubble, cheerful girl I fell for. I've loved you from that moment till now and forever because when I set my eyes I know that I was already lost. Babe I'm lost in you."

"What of you wifey ?" he asked in a low voice, sitting upright and gazing at me softly.

"Do you want the truth or the other?"

"I want both".

I sighed, "when papa told me I was getting married, I was shocked and furious. How could he do that?, the husband I don't know and during that time I'd been madly in love with Abdulrahman -- Maryam's older brother. We were in love with each other and promised to marry each other then you came into the picture, you know how it feels. I'd vowed to make your life living hell till you divorce me, so that I could go back to him. That was my plan; I plan, you plan, we all plan but Allah's plan is the best."

"The first day I saw after the wedding was when I knew I was gone because I'd already fallen for you but I held myself because I'd Abdulrahman, I couldn't do that to him."

"Then why didn't you show it, because you really hate for months" he grumbled.

"I was protecting you from him, because if he knew that I love you, then he would have used you to get me and I to get you. And that was the worst of it. Well now I think what I had for Abdulrahman was infatuation because he was a genius and his voice in the Quran was maa sha Allah. Even maryam didn't want us to be together".

"That means our love was love at first sight" he said while smiling widely whilst I nodded in agreement.

Indeed. I giggled slowly while he looked at me dumbfounded.

Days went by days, weeks by weeks, and months by months. I noticed some changes in me. I'd been eating extraordinary food, I meant to eat anything in a large amount, especially junk foods. Who doesn't like junk foods, I thought.

I was sitting on the couch eating popcorn with chocolate, when Yusuf walked towards me and pecked me softly on my cheek.

"Ife*you have been eating too much nowadays, by this rate I hope you can pass through this door." He teased sitting beside me. (Love).

"Whatever" I waved my hand at him dismissively.

I was busy stuffing my chocolate in my mouth. When I felt a wave of nauseous, I felt like puking all the content in me. I ran into the bathroom and puked all that I'd eaten. I was groaning when Yusuf came to pat my back gently. "What happened, what have you eaten, that was...." he asked worriedly, I cut him out of it.

"I don't know "I cried out, scrunched my nose from the disgusting taste.

As I was about to move I felt lightheaded and drowsy and I gripped tight on the door frame for stamina before I knew it, I was falling not before hearing my name being called.

*****

I groaned out from my deep sleep, my stomach grumbled out, I was damn hungry..

Yusuf walked with a bowl of food, I smiled at him lovely and grinned widely.

"Thanks Okon mi* like you've known that I'd be hungry"I spoke, starting to eat the meal.

I was busy engrossed with stuffing my food when I heard Yusuf telling me congratulations. I was surprised and wondering what had happened to him when I fainted earlier. "Whatcha you comgchatshulatshing me for" I rambled all my words together.

"We are having a plus one with our family" I looked at him, bewildered.

Was he really okay?.

"How would you feel when someone calls you mum?" He asked excitedly.

"I would feel happy and the happiest person on earth" I grinned cheekily while he chuckled lightly.

"But why are you asking me?" I asked confusedly.

"Because Wifey you make me the happiest man on earth because you are.." and he took a lungful of breath and one word that made me choke and cough vigorously.

.

"Pregnant" he exclaimed.

"Pregnant?"I asked, shocked and paled like I'd seen a ghost.

"Yes pregnant" he replied and kissed me with gentleness and tenderness.

Please, wait !!! Was that how females get pregnant????. I screamed out in my head.
