Abdulrasaq sitting on a couch in a sitting room with his friend Malik Khan.

Abdulrasaq – That’s my story Malik, and I Thank almighty Allah for his infinite mercy on us.

Malik Khan – Masha Allah… Alhamdulilah for everything. It’s really a touching story.

Abdulrasaq – Yeah it is! And my Thanks to sofiat.

Malik Khan – It’s good to have you back. Sofiat is in town here and I think you’d get to see her.

Abdulrasaq – really I’d love to…

Malik Khan – okay… But then I think there’s someone who would love to meet you right now (picked up his phone and called Mr Ahmed Zubair) hello, Wa alaikum salam sir.. There’s someone here who would love to see you… (He handed over the phone to Abdulrasaq)

Mr Ahmed – Wa alaikum salam.. who could that be?

Abdulrasaq – (smiled) I came to say hi to an old friend)….

Curtains…

Abdulrasaq visited the family of Mr Ahmed Zubair and extends his invitation accross.. Being a long time friend, Mr Ahmed throw a small house party for The Young Scholar and they got to enjoy and discuss with eachother. Mr Ahmed Zubair son “Farad” got inspired by the Young Scholar’s Nikkah invitation and he made plans to propose to his girlfriend who was Malik’s daughter. They both (Farad and Zara) had a very strong love bond but they were experiencing hard time. Luckily for them, Sofiat was just at the corner to save the day one last time.

On The Nikkah ceremony…

At Abuja’s central mosque..

Abdulrasaq – (smiling) This is the day we’ve been waiting for… (He walked close to her as they both entered the masjid)

Amina – Yes my dear… (She smiled too)

Yakub – Abdulrasaq is a Scholar, why can’t he conduct his own Nikkah as an Iman

Khadijah – You must be kidding (he hit him with her other arm, while she hold Maryam with her other hand)

Yakub – I’m just kidding honey…

Khadijah – Whoever thought this would be the end?…

Yakub – The end of what??

Khadijah – Just look at them… So perfect together. No one saw this coming…

Yakub – Yeah!… It’s destiny. You might have been the one there with him but I stole you and I know Allah doesn’t make a mistake.

Khadijah – Yeah… Barakallahu feekum!

Mummy Khadijah – (smiled and tears seeing daughter) Truly, Allah is definitely with those patient. The most Compassionate!

Daddy Khadijah – Which of the favours of Allah can we deny?

Imam – By Allah will and mercy, I pronounce you husband and wife…

Congratulations!!! The crowd raise their voices and celebrate with the Young Scholar… So many gifts were presented.

Abdulrasaq – Alhamdulilah Alhamdulilah Alhamdulilah rabbil Alamein… You’re finally mine.

Amina – Yes my love.. You deserve all of this. You’ve been patient and enduring and Allah sees you. And reward with the best!

They kissed each other and just like in her dream, their nose and forehead touches showing the signs of love.
The small town missed their Hero “Abdulrasaq” and most especially his friends Yusuf, Razzy and Habib. But each time they look at Ismail, they felt his presence and for sure he’s their new Young Scholar….

The End.
