"See Zaynab was all grown up now, the last time I saw her is when she was a baby" Abba said admiringly and Zaynab smiled in return.
"Yeah your wife is all grown up" Baba laughed.
"Hahaha yes, did she know she was given Fadimatuu's mother's name?" Abba asked.
"Yeah she knew, I told her" Baba replied him.
"Come here my daughter" Abba told Zaynab.
She stand up and went and sat beside him on the rug while he's sitting on the chair.
"Masha Allah, May Allah bless you Zaynab" Abba said.
"Ameen" Zaynab replied shyly.
"Is she shy?" Abba teasingly asked.
"No she's not the shy type at all, she's just pretending to be one" Muhsin chirped in and Zaynab glared at him making all of them laughed.
"Hey little munchkin come here" Abba told Imran.
He went towards him and Abba hugged him.
"Do you mind telling me your name?" Abba asked him smiling.
"My name is Muhsin" Muhsin replied revealing his teeths.
"What a nice name Imran" Abba smiled.
"You know you resembled with Fadimatuu because when I first saw her at our house, I just remember you" Baba said.
"Yeah we resembled that's people used to say" Abba replied him and he nod.
"Where is my little Khaleel? I didn't see him with you" Abba said.
"Oh Khaleel went back to UK to get his PhD" Baba replied him.
"Oh that's good, when is he returning back?" Abba asked him.
"Maybe in a year" Baba said.
"May he return safely, tomorrow you should call him for me, I want to talk to him" Abba said.
"Ok no problem in Sha Allah" Baba smiled.
" I think the children should go and sleep now, Fadimatuu take them to your room" Abba said.
"Okay Abba" Fadimatuu stand up and ushered Zaynab, Aaminah and Muhsin to her room.
Baba, Abba, Mama and Ammi continue their chatting after they left.
***
The next morning, Fadimatuu, Zaynab and Aaminah woke up early to prepare breakfast for them.
After they finished preparing the breakfast, they arranged it in the dinning table and went and call Abba, Baba, Ammi and Mama to eat.
After they settled in the dinning, Fadimatuu, Zaynab, Aaminah and Muhsin went back to the living room to eat their food there.
"Let me call Akhi and break the news for him before Baba did" Zaynab said excitedly.
"You should let Baba call him first" Fadimatuu tried to reasoned with her.
"No you should call him, she don't want us to call her lover" Aaminah teased her and she smacked her arm.
"Yes call him sis, I want to talk to him" Imran whined.
"Three against one, I have to call him sorry Fadimatuu" Zaynab laughed and Fadimatuu rolled her eyes.
Zaynab picked her phone and video call Akhi through Skype.
"Assalamu alaikum Akhi" Zaynab said immediately his face came into view.
"Waalaikumussalam Abu" Khaleel smiled.
"Not now Akhi" Zaynab whined and he laughed.
"Assalamu alaikum Akhi" Muhsin came into view.
"Waalaikumussalam Tiger, how are you?" Khaleel said smiling.
"I'm fine, Akhi we're going to tell you something" Muhsin said excitedly.
"Hey move from here, I'm the one that's going to tell him" Zaynab pushed Muhsin away from her phone.
"What is it you're going to tell me that you're pushing my tiger like that" Khaleel raised one of his eyebrow.
"You should guess" Zaynab laughed.
"You know I don't like guessing huh, just tell me or Muhsin can tell me" Khaleel said.
"Okay okay I will tell you, Baba had found his long lost brother and we're currently at his house" Zaynab said excitedly making Khaleel dumbfounded, shocked and happy.
"Are you serious?"Khaleel asked her to be sure.
"Yes you should ask Baba if you don't believe me" Zaynab replied him.
"Okay I believe you, did he really found Uncle Muhammad?" Khaleel asked her again and she nod.
"I can't believe it after all this years, Allah has finally answered our prayers of reuniting with Uncle Muhammad again" Khaleel emotionally said with tears threatening to spill from his eyes.
"Yes Alhamdulillah" Zaynab said.
"Where is he? Can you mind passing him your phone so that we can talk?" Khaleel asked her.
She looked at Fadimatuu and Aaminah and they laughed at her.
"Okay but Baba didn't know I called you, don't tell him I told you anything, just say I called you to greet you" Zaynab told him.
"Okay" Khaleel smiled at Zaynab's childishness.
She went to the dinning table and hands the phone to Baba first because she don't want him to know she told Khaleel anything.
"Baba Akhi wants to talk to you" Zaynab said sheepishly.
"Okay I see you've already break the news to him huh?" Baba laughed.
"No Baba I didn't tell him anything, you can even ask him" Zaynab said.
"Baba she didn't tell me" Khaleel laughed and Zaynab glared at him.
"Don't try to cover her up" Baba smiled.
"Okay Baba can I see Uncle Muhammad?" Khaleel asked him.
"And you said she didn't tell you?" Baba raised his brows making all of them laughed.
Baba hand the phone to Abba.
"Assalamu alaikum Uncle Muhammad" Khaleel said excitedly.
"Waalaikumussalam little Khal, look at you you're all grown up to be a handsome man" Abba said smiling and Khaleel shyly smiled too.
"Where is your daughter, I last saw her when she was a baby" Khaleel asked him.
"Oh Princess she's here, Zaynab call her for him" Abba smiled.
"Abba he knew her fah" Zaynab chirped in.
"Have they met?" Abba asked her.
"Yeah many times" Zaynab laughed.
"Hey Zaynab when did I meet her?" Khaleel raised his brows.
"You know better than me" Zaynab smiled.
"Would you go and call her for him or you're going to keep talking" Baba glared at her and she quickly went to call her.
"Fadimatuu, Akhi wants to speak to you on the phone" Zaynab told her.
"What is he going to speak to me about?" Fadimatuu asked her.
"He wants to see Abba's daughter" Zaynab laughed
"Does he knows I'm the one" Fadimatuu asked her and she shake her head making no making Fadimatuu to feel nervous.
"No I'm not going to speak to him" Fadimatuu turns her head away from them, she don't know how he'll react if he knew she's the one.
She don't want any fight with him right now and in front of Abba, Baba, Mama and Ammi.
"Calm down girl he's not going to eat you and besides it's Abba and Baba that's said I should call you, and you know you can't say no to them" Zaynab told her.
"Okay let's go" Fadimatuu said.
"Good girl" Aaminah laughed and Fadimatuu glared at her.
"Assalamu alaikum" Fadimatuu said Salam when she went towards them sitting at the dinning table.
"Waalaikumussalam" They replied her.
"Come daughter and speak to your brother" Baba said.
"Okay" She smiled shyly.
Abba hands the phone to her, but when she collected the phone the network went off making them not be able to see each other.
