Chapter 7 Beyond the lie

As the night wore on, Nafisat and Aliyu sat together in comfortable silence, lost in their own thoughts. They had lived a full and happy life, filled with love, laughter, and adventure.

After a while, Aliyu spoke up, his voice low and gentle. "Nafisat, my love, I have one more surprise for you."

Nafisat's eyes sparkled with curiosity. "What is it, Aliyu?"

Aliyu smiled, his eyes twinkling with mischief. "Come with me," he said, standing up and holding out his hand.

Nafisat took his hand, and Aliyu led her to a beautiful garden filled with flowers and trees. In the center of the garden was a stunning fountain, its waters sparkling in the moonlight.

Nafisat gasped in amazement. "Aliyu, this is beautiful!" she exclaimed.

Aliyu smiled, his eyes shining with love. "I had it built for you, my love," he said. "I wanted to create a special place where we could sit and remember all the happy moments we've shared together."

Nafisat's eyes filled with tears as she looked at Aliyu. "I love you, Aliyu," she said, her voice trembling with emotion.

Aliyu's face lit up with a warm smile. "I love you too, Nafisat," he said. "Forever and always."

And as they sat together in the beautiful garden, surrounded by the beauty of nature, Nafisat and Aliyu knew that their love would last a lifetime.
