Epilogue

Five years later

"Aunty Layla" I heard someone scream my name behind me, before I could turn to meet the cheerful voice, I'm being engulfed in a big hug, a smile graced my lips when the familiar scent hits my senses.

Rayyan, My big beautiful girl. She just got into Jss1 and she's also attending El-Amin International School, Minna.

I was making food for her and Khalid return as Zayyad went pick them up from school, I was so engrossed in what I was doing, I didn't hear them come in.

"I missed you so much" I said with a wide smile, turning to hug her properly. I pulled away to examine her, "iyeh, you've grown taller, what are they feeding you in that school" I teased

Khalid and Zayyad came into the kitchen at that moment.

Khalid engulfed me into me a big hug and my smile grew even wider. I pulled back to examine him too, "how come Rayyan is taller than you"
