UNEDITED.
Nana grinned evilly as they finished their breakfast. Weekends are her best days in the whole week, she gets her husband all to herself. Today, she's planned something for them but she already knew that Zayn will hate it and might even reject it but he has no choice. After doing the dishes, she called Maaysa and ask her whether she could look after Khumais for her for some hours. She told her that there is no problem and she will come and pick him.
"Cherub, we should go to the market today, what do you think?" She sat herself down on his laps, drawing her hands all around his face in a seductive way.
"Market? Me? No." He blatantly disagreed, looking at her like she grew a another head by the side.
"Are you saying no to me?" She raised a brow, distangling herself from him to which he protested with a groan and frown. Why is she been so difficult and crazy?
"Why should I go to the market? That place is for women and the one time I went there with mom, it looks like I'm some free piece of meat." He grumbled, not really bursting his ego but still he has to say the truth to save himself.
"Aw, aren't you just the handsomest?! But I want to show you off to those women. You know it'll be great to have sometime together, please." She pleaded, kissing all over his face.
"Okay, okay. First, I want a hot kiss." He raised a brow at her, waiting for her to lean in but she just stood up and quietly walk back to their room. Confused, he stood up and follow right behind her, watching as she changed from black leggings and shirt to basil green elegant pleated flounce sleeve dress.
"Mami, you didn't full your promise and you are already dressed. I'm not going." He pouted and slump on the bed watching as she tie the crocodile green dove hijab around her head and picked a matching cross body bag and slippers all the while his eyes fixated on her glowing face though she isn't smiling.
"Get up and get dressed." She ordered in monotone and left the room to call Jumaimah if she could help her babysit Khumais before they get back.
Shortly after Jumaimah arrived and took Khumais with her, Zayn walked out of the room in obsidian slacks and grey dress shirt. Nana drooled at the sight and released a smile watching his tall frame walk towards her. He grinned boyishly before engulfing her in his arms tightly, tucking his head in between her shoulder and head, smelling the oud she applied that smells eerily calming. He always finds his home when she is in his arms just like how he feels at that moment, home, serene and happiness.
"My kiss." He didn't let her reply before taking her lips with his in a hot kiss. He move them slowly behind till her legs gave up and she fell on the sofa with him on top of her. He didn't break the kiss and continue to explore her mouth with his tongue, coaxing her into giving in and she did.
They don't know how long they've being kissing but they jump when they heard Rukayyah's voice saying taslim. Zayn stood up immediately, tinge of pink coating his fair neck and he nervously scratch the back of his head then gave one hand to Nana to sit up straight and adjust her hijab. Maaysa and Rukayyah with Mashhub are silently looking at them with hidden smirks. Nana's heart kept thudding and not only because of their making out but because of the people standing in front of her. That was so embarrassing.
"We can go now." Maaysa chirped before pushing her husband and cowife out of their home with giggles.
"That was so embarrassing." She hide her face between her palms and blink her eyes hastily with blush.
"Well, not really. Let's go before they think we took it to the bedroom, not that I'll mind." She hit his arm and stood up to adjust her veil again then took her bag which fell in the middle of their love making.
They left the house and got into the SUV waiting for them, Mashhub is sitting at the drivers side while Zayn took the shotgun and the girls arranged themselves at the back talking about everything and nothing. Mu'ayyad's wedding is coming and they are thinking about merging it with Hidaya's but it looks like Hidaya is not ready and want to be hundred percent sure about it hence the delay. Ja'afar is really looking forward to tying the knot with her as soon as possible.
She noticed Rukayyah wearing a vintage lapel floral maxi dress with long regular sleeves and blue veil while Maaysa has elegant printed polyester vintage dress with regular sleeves and purple veil around her middle half. They all look beautiful yet simple.
Upon arriving at the market, the girls got down and waited silently for their husbands who are grunting inside the car because they knew what happens when they go there. When they saw the people at the vendors looking at their wives, especially the men, they immediately got down and stood their stance. Zayn slipped his hands around her waist while Mashhub stood in between his two wives and the loop their hands into his arms before getting in.
They stopped at each vendor to but little things. First it was tomatoes, then spinach, okra and lot more. When they reached the shop with abayas, the girls swooned and drag their tired husband's there. They couldn't choose one and kept going into the changing room to change. When they changed for the ninth time, they stopped them and ask the man to pack all the ones they tried and they left but got stopped again to by jewelries.
By the time they left the market, all of them are knackered and so they stopped to have an early dinner at a restaurant.
"Hey, Zayn." A woman came and greeted before looking to his right where Mashhub is sitting at, "Mash." She greeted and grinned but stopped when she saw the women looking at her weirdly.
She is dark skinned and has white teeth. She is featuring a skinny jeans and shirt with a muffler around her head. She doesn't look bad but if she is a Muslim and dressed like that, they don't know whether to say she looks good or not.
"Hey, Surayyah." Mashhub and Zayn greeted before making eye contact with each other.
"This is my wife Nana." And little seconds later, Mashhub said, "And my wives, Rukayyah and Maaysa."
"Two wives already?" She raised a mocking brow at Maaysa and Rukayyah who only grinned at each other before they say.
"Sisters." Which made the grin on Surayyah's face vanish before quickly excusing herself making the girls laugh and guys to chuckle.
When they reached home, Maaysa collapsed on her bed after changing into her pajamas but Mashhub knocked before making his presence known and lie down next to her. He is in her room that day and he just wished a goodnight to Rukayyah. Maaysa look up and smiled tiredly at him but when she saw the desire in his eyes, she didn't feel tired anymore and lie herself on him then smashed her lips to his in an aggressive kiss. He kissed back with equal favour and removed the flimsy nightgown she was wearing.
She panted feeling his hand on the swells of her chest and he dim the lights around the room then brought the duvet on them before coaxing her to sleep. She wanted to take a bath but the sleep overtook her and so she let it take her to another land with her husband wrapped around her sweaty form.

Today, all the Borkan women are getting ready to go to the orphanage as they'd planned some days back. Hajiya Rehma wants all of them to go there and give as much charity as they can. Not only the Borkan women, Nana's mother, Rukayyah and Jumaimah will be joining them shortly and Nana can't even wait for the day out with all of them. She's also looking forward to seeing those children in the orphanage, where she clearly knew she'll shed so many tears. Just the thought of children without parents or the ones their parents died is already heartbreaking, talk less of seeing them crying because of hunger which is most likely because orphanages nowadays don't get enough charity and there are so many abandoned children all around the world.
Nana clasp herself in a beautiful black tie-neck fitted ruffle sleeves maxi dress, royal blue dove hijab, pointed toe Mary Jane heels, Zara matching side bag and she's done. She's already made so many cookies for the children, she didn't let herself sleep yesterday till she was done and Zayn had to help her out. She made almost hundred pieces and kept ten for the at home before packing the rest in a package.
"Mami, can you just stay with me?" He murmured when he walked into the closet, seeing his beautiful wife all dressed up.
Hell, he's not liking the idea of her going out. Not that she's going anywhere where so many males will be, but he doesn't want any man to catch even just a glimpse of her passing by. That just didn't sit well with him, not when she's looking like the last drop of water for the whole humanity to survive, so many people will rush to her. She released a heart stopping smile at him through the mirror, winking at him terribly because she can't do it like he does.
"I need to go to that orphanage babe, sorry." She kissed his jaw and left the closet all set. Khumais will be there with Zayn at home.
"Baby, don't play too much huh?" She kissed Khumais' cheeks and left the house before Zayn could pursue her to stay.
They are going to use three SUVs since they are many. Nana is inside one with Hidaya, Kaadira, Rukayyah, Maaysa and Jumaimah while the geriatrics will use the other one and they sent special guards in one just in case. Some weeks back, Jumaimah got attacked by some armed robbers but they didn't do much only took her purse and left so the Borkans have being extra careful just in case something like that happens.
They arrived at the huge orphanage and they walked in, Nana taking the cupcakes and cookies she made while the other also brought out what they took with them. Everyone was asked to do something the kids will like and Kaadira cooked food for them. Hidaya made pancakes and bought lots of syrup and nutella. Jumaimah bought chocolates and sweets for them while Maaysa and Rukayyah got cans of soft drinks, fruit, huge two tier red velvet cake and beans cake. They've being told that the kids their are many so they tried as much as they could.
Nana saw a beautiful two months old baby and she almost took her but stopped and smiled then moved forward but her heart is still beating at the thought of holding that cute baby girl. She will talk to Zayn about this and hopes he will agree to her request. They can't just live alone with Khumais, she knew he will one day yearn for a baby if he is not doing that already so she set up her mind to convince him to get the baby, it's for their own good.
When she reached home, she kept her veil and bag then sighed knowing Zayn and Khumais are not in the house because it's quite. Her mind drifted back to that baby with big doe like eyes and innocent face with circle shaped face. She knew not to talks about another baby but she has changed her mind about taking Furat and Zayn understand her words very clearly without judging her and neither did his family.
When she met Naazwa's husband, she asked whether he really won't mind giving them but he said he can't just loose his two babies after losing his wife. He agreed that they should take Mudassir but he wants Furat since she has her mother's features so Nana just gave the baby to him. She doesn't have the heart to separate a parent from his child, she know how painful it would be. He agreed to Naazwa because he didn't see the baby but after seeing her, he fell hopelessly in love and that is clear.
Zayn and Khumais walked in holding ice cream in their hands with a paper bag with more ice cream. She jumped and took the paper bag then filled her stomach with it, releasing endless moans making Zayn narrow his eyes at her behaviour, she is doing it intentionally.
"Cherub, I saw a two months old baby and she was so cute, so innocent and eye catching. I know you're going to love her as soon as you settle your eyes on her..." He stopped her rambling by pecking her lips.
"I know what you are trying to say, Mami and if you think it is the right thing, then you have my full support." She leapt and jump on his laps then dip her lips low to take his in a gentle sensual kiss. She never knew how understanding Zayn is till that moment, he is just too perfect.
°°°
Mu'ayyad's wedding has started along with Hidaya's because she's finally agreed. Now a month later, everything is about to start and the day's ceremony is Mehndi which Nana is looking forward to. They are asked to get dressed in red this time around and not yellow like Maaysa's. This time around, there will be no males as they want to dance and enjoy the event to their heart's contents.
The event took place in the Borkan main mansion and everyone enjoyed it to their heart's content as Hidaya has more friends than Maaysa. The house was filled to the brim on the wedding day and as soon as it is announced that she is tied, both her and Jumaimah, the girls smiled but then cried wanting back their freedom and not be tied with another man. They only cried for a few minutes before the makeup artist adjust their makeups as their men are on their way.
Hidaya is wearing a purple lace with black beads around it and mauve flowers around it. She has her head tied in mauve raw silk looking like the bride she is. The lace is sewn into a flay gown that tightened around the bust but then flayed down to her legs, closing it all. A nettish mauve veil is draped around her shoulder and he legs are closed with black pumps giving her more height than needed but she isn't complaining, she loves heels after all.
Jumaimah on the other hand is wearing matching lace as Hidaya but with different colour of chocolate brown and caramel flowers. She didn't have a raw silk around her head but instead the lace tied in turban. A caramel veil is around her shoulder with golden clutch and matching pumps closing her feet. Even the gown is sewn by same tailor and they agreed on same style and that is what he did to the brides. No more weddings to the Borkan children and it will be grandchildren next and they can't see any of their grandchildren getting married that soon.
"You girls look takeaway." That was glowing pregnant Rukayyah that couldn't keep her stomach locked and her mouth shut. She's being eating since she arrived and her bump is showing even with her gown.
"I know right. They are literally glowing with happiness." Maaysa sighed and continue taking countless pictures not letting the photographer do his job.
"Even Umm Khumais and Huda is glowing. See those sparks in her eyes." Rukayyah teased Nana who only smiled wider and her eyes glisten with sheer happiness.
"Well, your grooms are waiting outside." Nana gestured to the brides and they instantly blushed hearing the word grooms.
There is going to be a dinner later and Nana doesn't think she will be there because of how her legs are aching very badly.
She's took the baby from the orphanage and adopted her then named her Naazwa. That is a month ago and now she can't think if ever not having that bundle of happiness by her side. All the family members agreed to her decision and supported her hundred percent. Khumais is the happiest because he is always with her all the time except when he needs to be on his bed. Zayn her another bed made for the baby in Khumais room and whenever he wakes up before them, he will stay there and keep glancing at her like she's some creature he needs to figure out.
Nana could swear she feels the possessiveness rolling off of him whenever she is around him. When his cousins are around, he always sits down next to his sister as though they were going to still her and leave him alone. Nana cried the day she brought the girl home as her daughter and Zayn had to co sole her for the whole day. They went to baby shopping the next day and there is nothing she hasn't bought with Zayn who kept walking around with her in his arms around the store.
She will not be exaggerating if she says the baby is starting to look like Khumais. Some people say love makes people look alike and she is agreeing to that now.
She was brought back to reality when the girls good up and three geriatrics walked in to take the brides to their grooms. "The bridesmaids should go down first." One of the women instruct and they did just like she said.
The house is decorated in both purple and brown and those colours never looked that beautiful and classic. Nana appreciated their handwork as she walks down not knowing where she is going to she bumped into Zayn who is holding their baby in his arms and it looks like she's being crying. They decided to give her a nickname Huda because hearing Naazwa's name can trigger everyone's head so they settled on Huda, the right guidance.
"She's being asking for you." Nana cooed and took her away from him.
"Does she know how to talk?" She chuckled and removed the feeding bottle from her bag and went to the kitchen to warm it up with Zayn in their tow.
"I won't be surprised since she refuse to stay with me and kept wailing at the top of her voice. It's like she's never known me and Khumais abandoned me when he couldn't help her stop crying." Zayn playfully narrowed his eyes at Huda who showed him her toothless gums and wrap her arms around Nana more.
"Agree that it's girls against boys." She stick her tongue out at him.
THE END.
