With the remaining ounce of strength Halima has, she drags the dirty stinky tattered oversized black Jalabiya over her head then carries her raped bruised pained body outside the warehouse to be met with the scorching heat of the sun as it sets which burns through her, turning her shattered heart into ashes.
She thought marriage was a bed of roses or something similar to what wattpad stories portray. Heck she was hoping that she'd live a romantic life similar to that of her parents but alas this is the life ordained for her.
She never imagined being dead scared of her own husband but here she is whimpering due to the pain he has caused her. She looks at the three lanes confused on where to go. There's one facing her, another by her left and another by her right. Deciding that the best road is the right one, she takes that particular lane and walks till she starts to feel utterly dizzy. She has nothing on her and she hasn't seen a livin
"Retaliate mana Sa'eed." Aleesha shouts and Sa'eed slaps Audu. As they both have eye contact Audu notices the color of his eyes and the way they're stagnant still and distant. Before you know it, Audu is out of the house. He calls his wife and she comes out saying she can't find her daughter. He asks her to enter the car and they drive back to the hospital.As they enter, Audu calls Abba outside as he needs to speak to him."Sa'eed is under a charm. Anyi masa asiri {he has been sorcerized}." Audu says immediately they're outside the hospital at the parking lot. Abba looks at him baffled and just as he's about to ask how Audu knows Audu replies him."I lived with my grandfather who's a skilled hunter and malam. He uses verses from the holy Quran to bewitch animals into falling into his trap by changing some certain words in such verses. One day i followed him to hunt and i saw how he did his work. I then
Lash deletes all her email accounts, her social media accounts and anything else that'll connect those same people to her. She needs a complete new beginning. She inserts her new SIM card and searches for any house that's for sale far away from Jabi. Luckily she finds one and immediately she calls the agent, he picks and within an hour she goes to see the house and she falls in love with it instantly.It's a simple two storey building with a beautiful backyard in Asokoro. It has a huge kitchen just fit for a chef like her on the ground floor, a parlor and a dining room. A beautiful balcony and an open roof top are what make the house all the whole worthwhile. Then the beautiful space meant for gardening at a part of the house. The first floor has a small parlor two rooms and a theater like room for her blogging.After an hour, she buys the house and man did it make a huge dent on her account. But she knows that once she sells her
Halima opens her eyes to look around, she's in a white room with everything white. Maybe she's already in heaven, afterall she deserves it because even devil knows that she's suffered a lot from Sa'eed in the name of marriage and Ibadah. Just as she turns, she meets two large eyes looking intently at her soul, they're creepy and awfully close to her face. She screams and scrambles to the other side of the bed, ignoring the protests her body is giving in form of pain from every part of your body."Hey calm down, be careful, don't open up your stitches." The man says smiling amusedly."Stitches? Who are you? What do you want? Where am i? And most importantly, how did i get here? I thought i wad in heaven?" The man laughs as Halima throws questions at her."My name is Doctor Aliyu Kwami. I'm a general surgeon and i was going to my house when i saw you three days ago lying in the middle of the road so i bro
Lash wakes up and checks the time. She jumps, fretting as she realizes she's missed her Subh prayer. As she stands up, she feels herself damp. Looking down, she sees blood and almost screams. She takes her bath and scrambles her drawers for a sanitary pad. She finally finds two pads and she almost squeals in joy.After getting dressed, she hears the bell being rung so she wears her Hijab and rushes outside. After collecting her orders and signing, she goes inside and organizes everything. She picks her phone and sees a message from Zulqa. Smiling like a loon, Lash takes her raspberry veil and drapes it over the slate Atelier Vedahno gown she's wearing. Adding butterscotch Ray-Ban spectacles to shield her eyes, she slips on ebony Fendi heels and takes her phone and the key to her Porsche before securing all her doors with locks.Once outside, she locks the main gate with a huge padlock before hiding the keys in her pigeonhole before loc
Aleesha walks into the room with a tray holding Sa'eed's breakfast. Nowadays, he's been very demanding. Always comparing her to that disgusting being - Halima. She spurns away the thought from her mind and puts on her best smile as she tries to walk comfortably in Sa'eed's favorite cloth of Halima's - a milk colored atamfa with chocolate leafy patterns - which made her realize Halima is way more bustier, buxomer and way more curvaceous than she can ever be.The cloth doesn't fit her at all. She had to use several safety pins to hold it in numerous places so it can fit but even then, she looks like a miniscule, a wee woman. It's like placing a child's habd in a bowl and expecting it to fill it up.Walking carefully so that the train of the cloth doesn't fall her down, she drops the tray in front of Sa'eed and heaves a sigh of relief, exasperatedly. Sa'eed gives her s skeptical look, as if trying to weigh her up. 
"Mummy wallahi na gaji. {by Allah I'm tired}. Isn't it enough?" Halima whines and Hajjo glares at her."You're going to a whole different country Halima. You don't know how things are going to be there. You've already been through so much here and despite being home for one month, you're still not back to your normal self." Halima gulps at the last statement, all that happened in that one week flashing before her eyes, not even a single second forgotten. Hajjo places her hand over Halima's own as she's visibly shaking. That's what happens anytime she's reminded of him."Yes mummy." Halima manages to say and Hajjo smiles fondly at her daughter. Her baby girl has been through a lot.They walk back to the car and drive home. Immediately they reach home, Hajjo continues packing up all of the necessities for Halima's three weeks brushing up course. It's a gift from Sa'eed which was given to her on her birthd
"Assalamu Alaikum." Abba and a man who looks to be around his early thirties enter Sa'eed's house to find Sa'eed grunting and groaning while holding his head in his hands. He slips from the cushion to the ground with a soft thump and holds his head as sweat breaks out on his body, forming beads on his neck and forehead.He doesn't feel himself, since the day he watched SpongeBob SquarePants with Halima in the parlor. He feels like he's being trapped right behind his eyes as he's being forced to watch someone else take over his body. He has tried to loose the thing controlling him but he still can't.He doesn't know if it's because he's trying to escape from that dark abyss, but he's having a serious headache. It feels as if a whole babd using nothing but percussion instruments are having a concert with his brain serving as the theater. He feels as if the actual him which seems to be trapped right behind his eyes is hitting his ey
Halima steps out of the Peugeot 206 and slips the key into her bag. She switches off her phone mobile data as she exits the Google maps app. She looks up at the hotel, Fauchon L'hotel Paris. With a deep breath, Halima praysAllahumma innee as'aluka min nuhoorihim wa a'udhubika min shuroorihim.That being done, Halima enters the hotel and checks in and she was given her room key. She takes the elevator as their bellhop follows her with her luggage. Once in front of the room, she opens it and the only word that comes out of her mouth is wow.The room is painted powder white, the wall behind the large queen sized bed in a dark shade of gray. By Halima's left, ash drapes which have been pushed to the sides reveal two windows that take up almost the whole walls with powder white frames and a thick transparent glass adorning them.In between the two windows sits a wall fluorescent lamp en
