The Young Scholar Chapter 2 Episode 16

Amina – No no no… He should have consulted me before doing this… I don’t like this really I don’t…

Mummy Khadijah – I thought he said he informed you about it and they were kind of embarrassed that you weren’t here.

Amina – I’m giving him my warning.. I have someone else.

Mummy Khadijah – Amina… You haven’t told me about this person you said you have. Why are you hiding it from your mother?.. you know it’s not good.

Amina – I’m sorry mom, but he’s someone you already know. It’s no other man than Abdulrasaq.

Mummy Khadijah – I thought as much.. no wonder you screamed his name in your sleep last night.

Amina – (she blushed) Yeah I was dreaming of him.

Mummy Khadijah – I think this was the discussion between you and your sister Khadijah. I noticed it!

Amina – ahnha mom you were stocking us then..

Mummy Khadijah – No, I wasn’t. I only watch out for my children.

Amina – Thanks mum (she hugged her tightly)

Mummy Khadijah – About Saheed coming here with his family for introduction, it’s just a made story to hear the truth from you.

Amina – hahaha… Mum you really got me you know. I love you mom

Mummy Khadijah – I love you too my daughter.

They hugged eachother tightly ones again…

Amina – I just hope everything goes well with Abdulrasaq and I

Mummy Khadijah – I hope so too…

6months later… (Early 2018)

Amina had created a bond between herself and Abdulrasaq. She spend most of her time with him and they both recite and competite with eachother with verses of the Qur’an. Once again the Young Scholar fell in love.

Abdulrasaq – Amina… We’ve come a long way and I think we need to make this closeness between us a blessing. I’ve informed my mom and some of my friends you don’t know yet and soon they will come and we would do a proper introduction and then our Nikkah.

Amina – Wow… Alhamdulilah! (Feeling so excited). Insha Allah things will work out well between us.

Abdulrasaq – I have no doubt. You’ve been a companion the one I seek for from Allah.

Amina – And you too my Scholar… You’re no longer young again… And so I’m changing your title.

Abdulrasaq – Really, I think for now that title belongs to my student.

Amina – Which of them?… Ohhh wait!… Let me guess. “Ismail”?

Abdulrasaq – Yeah you’re correct.

Amina – He’s really very smart, intelligent and so much more.

Abdulrasaq – of course. If I had to leave Apelle someday, it would be in good hands.

Amina – Yeah it will Insha Allah… I need to go now. Khadijah asked me to pick baby Maryam from school.

Abdulrasaq – okay that’s fine.. take care

Amina – And you too (she said… wearing the most prettiest smiles)

Abdulrasaq – Huh Huh… Lower the gaze pretty lady. (He joke with her)

She left The Young Scholar’s home and arrived at Maryam’s school.

Maryam – (Ran to hug her aunt)

Amina – that’s my baby girl. Time to go home she carried her and then search for another vehicle to return home.

At Khadijah’s home…

Maryam – (quickly drag herself down) Mummy she ran to give her a hug.

Khadijah – Awnnnn… My beautiful daughter how are you?

Maryam – fine… Mummy I’m hungry

Khadijah – Ohhh my little one, your food is ready (she mixed some cornflakes with for her to drink) here my baby girl (she offered it to her)

Amina – (smiling althrough)

Khadijah – Thank you sist. For helping bring her home, I was very busy with some work.

Amina – it’s fine. Guess what

Khadijah – you know I’m not very good at that but I know it’s about The Young Scholar.
