"She’s two months pregnant!"
"Pardon?". Juwairiyyah asked shocked.
"You are two months pregnant Mrs". Repeated the doctor.
"Na shiga uku ni Juwairiyyah! Meya kaini fara wannan game din? (I am doomed! Why did I start this game?) Arfaat you've ruined my life. Thus, it was a game she started and it’s now a game over. What can I do to you to make you feel the pain am going through right now?" Juwairiyyah sobbed.
"Will you keep quite! Kaga mun ja'irar yarinya (look at this foolish girl)" Scolded Hajiya Azumi.
Alhaji Abbas sat there dumb, he was surprised___ shocked, and at the same time happy. Happy that he is going to be a grandfather, but on the other side of the coin the thought of Arfaat being the father of the child makes him feel despondent.
"Thank you so much doctor, we shall take our leave."

".Juwairiyyah in a contrite motion said; “Yaa Arfaat please don’t do this to me, tears gushing out of her large eye balls. She looked all remorseful. "You want me to lie Juwai? Do you want me to accept the pregnancy I know nothing of?""Noo Yaa Arfaat, you know everything about it, how can you deny your fatherhood?" "Fatherhood??? Juwairiyyah you must be insane to think am going to accept that pregnancy, that baby is not mine and I am reluctant to accept what is not mine. Tell your parents the truth, am out of here!" "Arfaat! Come back here, you can't leave without explaining things to me". Alhaji Abbas commanded in a bitter tone."There is nothing left for me to explain to you Sir, I am not the father of juwai's baby. You can ask her that." "Juwairiyyah, tell me the truth please, kar kisa zuciyata ta buga (Please don't stop my heart). Is Arf

"Juwai!!!" Arfaat shouted shaking her so hard. "Juwai, Juwai don't do this to me. We have a future ahead of us, we have a daughter now....please don't do this!" Arfaat said breaking into tears. "What happened to my daughter? Don't tell me she's dead doctor". Alhaji Abbas said trying to free Juwai from Arfaat's grip. "We need some time alone with her please. You all should go out". The doctor said addressing Arfaat and Alhaji Abbas."Doctor, I want to stay. I have to stay" Arfaat said still holding Juwairiyyah tight in his hands. "She's bleeding alot doctor, we have to act fast". Said one of the nurses."This time around, you are getting out of here!"* It's been three hours, there is still no news about juwairiyyah, none of the doctors and nurses attending to her came out. Arfaat is beginning to loose his senses, he didn't even care to look a

"But he Arfaat is not her father".Juwairiyyah said anger building up in her, and a lot of hatred for Arfaat building more and more in her. She held the baby so tight to her, letting her feel her warmness. She just couldn't help it, and tears rolled down her cheeks, as tears roll down juwairiyyah only shook her head in despair. Wishing she had never came across a being like Arfaat. Hajiya Azumi stood at the doorway, looking at them both and wondering what is really going on between them both. She walked passed Arfaat who still sat in a one sitter, doing nothing but thinking of the best way to bring Juwairiyyah back to him."Let me have the baby Juwai". Hajiya Azumi said stretching her hands to the reach of juwairiyyah. "It seems like you guys have a lot to talk about, I'll take the baby with me so that you can talk peacefully. Am very sure something is wrong with the both of you." &nbs

Juwairiyyah kept shaking the baby, shaking her so hard hoping the baby will make some sort of noise or just open her eyes. Fear crept into her heart, she laid down the baby back on her bed, and sat there, stunned, out of words, lost in deep thoughts."Mamanah! Mamanah...." Juwairiyyah choked, kneeling down by the bedside. Even in her ignorance of the death symptoms, the cold skin of her beloved daughter confirmed her fear. "Hajiya! Hajiya come to my aid! Inna lillahi wa inna ilaihir rajiuun". Juwairiyyah said in tears, she choked up again for the second time, before losing her consciousness. Just then Hajiya Azumi, Hajiya Raliya and Alhaji Abbas came into the room, all shocked at the scene they saw."What could have happened?". Hajiya Raliya asked in tears, feeling the baby's pulse.

"Arfaat! What the hell are you talking about?". Mai kunu asked shocked....."Don't tell me you denied the baby is yours?" She asked again, as tears rolled down her cheeks. Alhaji Abbas, Hajiya Raliya and Hajiya Azumi all stood at the doorway, stunned and suprised at what Arfaat was saying. Alhaji Abbas was flabbergasted remembering all what he did to her, what if she died? Without him asking for her forgiveness and telling her how much he love her."Mama, lis.....". A very sound slap landed on Arfaat right cheek, and another again on his left. "How dare you Arfaat! How could you do a thing like that? What has gotten into you? Was this how I brought you up? Am disappointed in you Arfaat, I really am". Mai kunu said, shaking Arfaat as tears of sadness keep rolling down her cheeks...."she's gone now Arfaat, she's gone. Are you happy?" "Mama pleas..."

"Yaa Junayd, I missed you so very much, hope you are back for good now?". Juwairiyyah asked still holding his hands. Junayd smiled, caressing Juwai's face. He can't express how happy he is to see her........"yes baby, am back"....he said, taking her hands to his lips and pressing a light kiss on them..."am not gonna leave you agaiin."Who the hell is this?, Arfaat is totallyspeechless, he stood there stunned, totally out of words. He turned and look at Alhaji Abbas, Hajiya Azumi and Hajiya Raliya who were smiling at them. "Welcome back son, or are you still not done looking at your sister ?". Asked Alhaji Abbas, standing up and opening his hands for a hug."O papy, I missed you so very much". He walked to his open arms, but then suddenly changed his direction and hugged Hajiya Raliya, who only sat on

"Is that a yes?"Junayd asked smiling. Juwairiyyah was still silent, she sat still, tears rolling down her cheeks, her heart beats increased in pace, as if she ran for kilometers without stopping. She grew up with Junayd, shared a lot of things with him. Infact, she was already in love with him when he left, but now, she is nonplussed of her feelings towards him, more so; she's now a divorcée, will he still marry her that way?.My earliest memory has always been with yaa junayd, him bathing me, feeding, clothing and so on.She was so engrossed in her thoughts, when she felt yaa junayd's hand on mine,... I looked up at him, her eyes still moist from the tears she shed. "What is it?" He asked ca

"Yaa Junayd". Juwai called from behind, he turned slightly and looked at her. "Your heart hurts?"He only nodded in response. "But why Yaa Junayd? It shouldn't hurt because I've made up my mind". She said slowly, looking at Junayd and then Hajiya Azumi...."I'll marry you, happy?"Junayd couldn't believe what he just heard, Juwai can't be serious. "Juwai, i need to talk to you". Hajiya Azumi said, as she stood up from the couch she was sitting beside Junayd. "Issues like this needs time and decision making, you can't just do things the way you want them.""I only want to talk to yaa junayd privately" she said, as she looked at hajiya azumi straight in the eyes. "Without you interfering, we need some time alone" She concluded. "But juw....""Say no more grandma, just go." Hajiya Azumi looked at her grandchildren, she can't help them, there is nothing she can do about it.
