"Are you serious?!" I asked
He nodded with a soft chuckle "yeah"
"All this while I've been calling him Timothee 'chaa- la-met' Wallahi, Ashe it's pronounced 'sha-la-mey' , yanzu if I go to France one day this is how I would have embarrassed myself?" I asked as I turned to look at him and we made eye contact.
That eye contact was all it took and we burst laughing.
"Iman you're making me laugh too much, my stomach is starting to hurt" he said with one last chuckle.
"But Wallahi I'm serious, Sai ache ji wanchan baqauyar er nigeriar!" I said.
To be honest it wasn't even funny, but you know that moment where there seems to be laughing gas in the air and whatever is said you can't help but almost wheeze yourself to death. That was one of those times, because the way we were laughing was very concerning.
"Stop! Chikina" he said as he laughed.
"What even brought up this conversation in the first place?" He said when we sobered up.
"I don't know!" I said.
He continued driving until suddenly his head snapped to the right.
I looked in the direction he was gazing at.
"I think I passed that place" He said.
"Huh?" I said in confusion.
To my utter surprise this man turned the car around and he started driving the way we came from, only thing was that it's a one way.
Why on earth is he driving on a one way, on a street where it's so easy to be caught!
"Amir! Za ah kama mu fa! What are you doing?" I asked.
He ignored me, he grinned instead.
He's insane. He's absolutely insane.
The cars coming in our direction kept honking at us angrily and I simply used my palms to cover my eues, not even wanting to see this disaster.
I opened my eyes when I felt him park.
He parked at a bakery.
He removed his seatbelt before he turned to me "I'll be back, 5 minutes!"
I nodded at him with a scowl and his grinned only widened.
He went out of the car and just like he promised a few minutes later he was back with a box in his hands.
"So you basically broke the rules, followed a one way and threatened our lives just so you can have some dessert?" I asked him, not even believing my eyes.
"No, I broke the rules, followed a one way, threatened our lives so I can get you jam filled donuts." He said, placing the box on my lap.
"...Why?" I asked
"You said you loved jam filled donuts" He said as if it was the most obvious thing on earth.
I gaped at him.
He still found a way to spend. His love language had to be giving.
"But was it really necessary?" I asked.
"Yes it was" he replied.
I rolled my eyes opening up the box.
I pushed it over to him "here"
He shook his head "I don't like jam-filled donuts"
"Then how did you know this place sells them?" I asked.
"The twins wouldn't shut up about it"
I picked one and I turned it upside down, before bringing it towards him "eat that side, there's no jam"
He gave me a weird look before moving towards the donut I was holding and taking a bite.
He waited until he swallowed before he spoke "why do you want me to eat this so bad?"
I shrugged "I don't know....I'm trying to make sure you haven't poisoned it with ginger."
He laughed "even if I did it won't have a reaction on me, so you won't know"
I rolled my eyes before taking a bite "your facial expression will tell me."
He nodded, agreeing.
"Are they...following us?" I asked when I saw a Road safety pick up behind us.
The man beside me grinned "I think they are"
Why on earth is he grinning! This is all his fault!
Of course the road safety will catch us, he literally followed a one way in a place where road safety could easily see you.
They drove past us and parked directly in front of us, stopping us from moving forward.
Another car blocked us from behind.
I turned to look at Amir with a serious face but the grin on his face but my lips tilt up "Wallahi you're on your own! This is all your fault!"
He chuckled as he rolled down the window as one of the officers came to his side of the window.
"Oga? Can I see your driver's license?" The man asked.
Amir nodded, he picked up the card in the cup holder beside him and he gave it to the man.
The officer eyed the card "this is temporary, you don't have the permanent one?"
Amir shook his head "it's at home"
Something told me his driver's license was in his pocket.
I stifled a chuckle as I continued eating my donut.
"You need to be having your original one with you sir" he said.
"Why? You need it for identifying and to confirm I do have a license, if the temporary is here to prove it why do I need to move with the original?"
The man didn't reply that "can I see the papers of the car?" He asked.
Amir handed him some papers he removed from the compartment in front of me.
He hit my leg in the process and he patted my shoulder in apology.
"Sir this is a photocopy, where's the original?" The man asked.
Amir shrugged "it's also at home, same reason with the license"
The original papers were in the compartment.
But I understood what he was doing, they could seize the original ones, giving them the temporary was staying on the safe side.
The man signed in annoyance "Oga? You've broken a rule oo, you were seen turning and following a one way, you have to pay a fine and for that you would have to follow me to the station."
"Where is the station?" Amir asked
"It's a 30 minutes drive from here"'the officer said
"30 minutes?? I can't go that far, my wife is pregnant and tired, I need to drop her home, it's her cravings that made us take the one way in the first place" he said gesturing at me.
I choked on my donut.
"Sorry baby" Amir said, turning to me and patting my head.
How on earth is he keeping a straight face??! I was fighting for my life not to burst out laughing!
The officer nodded in understanding "I understand sir but rules are rules, and you broke one, you have to come with us"
Amir shook his head "I'm not coming with you, she has already had a long day and I won't tire her more, the station is too far, I'm willing to pay the fine now"
The officer sighed.
We're even lucky we got a patient one, the one I and Ya Nadia encountered last month would have finished drenching the car with his spit because of how much he will be shouting.
"Come with me sir, let's speak with my boss" the officer said.
Amir nodded and he followed him out of the car.
I shook my head in amusement as they walked to the man in the pick up.
From what I could see from inside the car, they kept going back and forth.
And Amir being Amir didn't back down, he kept gesturing to the car towards me,'aka' 'his pregnant wife'
They went on for what seemed like AGES before Amir brought out his phone.
He used it for a while before the man nodded at him and the first officer gave him bavk his papers.
He came back into the car.
"I don't even know what to say to you" I said.
"It's so hot" he said as he adjusted the ac with a smile.
"My pregnant wife, are you feeling well?" He asked as he turned to face me.
I hissed as I turned the other way.
He laughed.
"You know I'm a bit offended he didn't doubt that I'm not pregnant, do I look pregnant?!" I said.
He chuckled "well your veil is covering your tummy so he can't really tell"
"Toh dai have you settled? Can we go now?" I asked.
"Yes we can"'he said.
