  &quot; Happy birthday Habeeb&quot;, Ameedah said as she ushered him in.
   She invited him over to her place, she also prepared his favourite meal to mark his special day. He was turning 24 today.
   &quot;Wow, this aroma&quot;, Habeeb said walking in.
   &quot; Uhmm&quot;,she simply replied.
  &quot;Please sit&quot;, she ordered.

   He was finally done and ready to go. Ameedah fed him well, they popped champagne and spoke for few hours, it was late in the evening before he was finally set to leave.
   &quot; So Ameedah, after the food, the champagne and well as the gift, what else do you wish to give me&quot;, he winked and smiled naughtily.
  &quot;Nothing else&quot;, Ameedah said even if her eyes were saying the opposite.
   Initially, Ameedah decided she was going to kiss him but as he appeared, she knew she wouldn't be able to do it again. How would she even do i

  &quot;Ma&quot;, Habeeb was saying to Ameedah's mum. Can I take Ameedah out for few hours.
  &quot;Hmmm, your wedding preparation has started and the couple should not be seen together again until after the wedding&quot;, Ameedah's mum answered though she was only teasing him.
    Ameedah hasn't really been herself since she returned from Osun state and Habeeb knew exactly what the reason was and that's why he took it upon himself to cheer her up by taking her out.
  &quot; Please ma'am, let me take her, I promise we won't stay long&quot;.
  &quot;Alright fine, she's in her room&quot;, she replied.
  &quot; Thanks a lot ma'am&quot;,Habeeb said hugging her and walked up to Ameedah's room.
   Habeeb knocked when he got to the door of her room.
  &quot;Yes, come in&quot;,Ameedah said.
  Ohhh, Habeeb, why are you here, she asked plainly without vigour.
  &quot;Ameedah, come on, I've apologi

  ~ WEEKS LATER ~
    It was finally the princess's birthday, Ameedah's phone was on silent mode as she wanted to sleep very well throughout the night without disturbance.
    She woke around 6 in the morning to observe her prayers and that was when she realized her friends already decorated the room, she didn't really check it out as she was late for the prayers so she prayed first and after she picked up her phone, there she saw loads of missed calls but not even a call from Habeeb, she was a little upset but she just let it slide.
  She replied all the messages, her parents called her back and prayed for her, same as her sister and her little brother, she really enjoyed talking to them.
   She left her phone and moved closer to the gifts.
  &quot;Omg, this is simply too much, I can't wait to open these gifts&quot;, Ameedah said happily to herself.
  &quot; Wow, this can't be only Nihm
