Halima hugs her mother and her father before they enter the car. She doesn't even look outside because she doesn't miss Nigeria, not one bit. She only misses her family and friends. Who's she kidding? She hardly has any friends but she's going to change all that now. She has already made a friend back at France, she's a Nigerian and she lives in Abuja too. They even exchanged contacts.
They drive directly to the Abba Sulayman house as per Halima's nagging that she wants to see her Ammi, Teemah, Amalie and Afnan. Innayo was discharged two weeks ago and she's actually getting very better now.
The Abba Sulaymans want to even start planning Amal's wedding. It's just Halima they were waiting for and according to what Fatima said in the morning, Hamza's parents are coming for the sa rana next week.
They arrive at the house and Halima doesn't even wait for her parents. She just enters the house like she does a
The glow that's radiating off her skin is enough to tell anyone that she's the bride. Her smile alone shows how happy she is with the marriage.

She's contented and happy with the family her husband to be has provided her with.Looking in the mirror Lash's smile widens, even wider than a grin. She feels and looks extremely beautiful, happy and contented. Today is the daurin aure.

"Daddy, Abba, please talk to Mummy. Wallahi I don't want to go back to that house, please." Halima is full verge on crying. The two men turn their faces to the side, showing Halima their napes. Their wives have told them to stay out of it and from the way they said it, they know there's more to it so they have to stay out. Halima wails and turns on her knees to Hajjo and Innayo."Ammi please help me. I will die if i go back there. You've always told me you love me, please show me that love now." Halima holds unto Innayo's skirt and sorrowfully, she turns away from Halima. She knows about Halima's pregnancy and she'd be damned if she's the reason why her grandchild doesn't get to experience the love of both of his or her parents. Even if Halima and Sa'eed won't reconcile, they should attempt to, so that whatever happens with the child in the future, would be both their faults alone and no one else's. Having no other choice, Halima turns to her mother.
It's been sixty eight days since the divorce. Halima has been counting and so far, she can't wait to finish the ninety days of torture.She was very foolish to think they could work out again, to think she was thinking of going back to withdraw the divorce issue, what a whimsy thought!One week after they got back, Halima had thought about it, this divorce shouldn't have happened. But it has happened and she is the only one that can change it. She went to Sa'eed - since they aren't living in the same rooms - only to hear the conversation that changed her mind.Halima walks through the corridor, determined steps are what she takes. She just needs to talk to him and then they'll go to the judge and forget the divorce issue."Yes, have you seen those girls? They look even younger in person. Fahida and Kamila. Very pretty girls. Your wife, oops, ex-wife would look like an old woma
Verily, whatever has a beginning, must have an end. ~Meemxy Two days later... "Sa'eed, if Halima doesn't wake up before Wednesday, then you're marriage is automatically severed. Even if she does, unless she says she's willing to stay with you, it's a lost cause." This has been turning itself in Sa'eed's head since on Saturday - the day Halima put to birth, and today is Tuesday. Meaning that, in less than twenty four hours, Sa'eed's marriage with Halima will be severed automatically and Halima will become a divorcee. Neither the baby nor Halima are in any good condition. Halima slipped into comma the moment she gave birth while the baby, being born premature at eight months, is at the Special Baby Care unit (SCBU) and on life support. She can give up the ghost anytime though she has started opening her eyes from time to time.
Halima looks at herself one last time in the mirror. She is dressed in a blue french lace sewn into a straight skirt with a closed slit at the back and a paplon top with white nets at the edge of each hand.Her head gear is tied into a tight but beautiful design which can't seem to be explained. It has almost twelve pleats then some designs at the top that look like rumples.She is wearing blue heels with silver touches. A gold necklace jewelry set adorns her neck, ear, head, wrists, index fingers and left ankle.A white viel with blue designs at the edges of the veil is wrapped around Halima's body in the traditional lafayya way. Her make up is done flawlessly beautiful by one of the famous makeup artists in Abuja.At first when Halima saw the makeup artist she was like Ya Allah please don't let this girl spoil my beautiful face for me. But now looking at herself she regrets her thoughts. She will have
Halima wakes up beside her husband. She quickly makes to get out of bed but is dragged back by her husband. She lands on his bare broad chest and he mouths a good morning into her neck.She blushes crimson red then tries to get up again but gets dragged back by Sa'eed, "where are you going? We just got married yesterday fah, and you want to leave me already?""I'm not going anywhere fah. I just want to use the bathroom.""why don't we use it together?", Sa'eed says wiggling his brows."kai Innalillahi, let me just go and do my business and come back first.""ahap, sai kiyi business din mugani ai {do the business let's see}. You're not going anywhere. What do you want to do in the toilet sef?", Ya Sa'eed says turning Halli such that their faces are just inches away."see question o, meye akeyi a toilet kuwa? {what do people do in the bathroom?}." Halli s
"what in the Jahannam?" she shouts then looks from Sa'eed, to a petite woman standing in front of him, to Sa'eed again. She moves on her heels and tries to walk past them but she shakes her head as if pushing a thought away."hubby, what is happening here." she says as she hooks her petite hand around his bulgy, muscular one. She's trying hard not to glare at the woman and insult the hell out of her. She finally turns to look at the woman and a look of recognition covers her face before she says "you!", dreadfully."oh hey junior. So you are the girl who has captured my Romeo's heart? Nicely done. But I think you need to work on your weight, you're too skinny." the petite lady that can't be in anyway older than Halima says giving Halima a once over and gesticulating with her hand.My Romeo?Halima scoffs then says, "oh puh-leasee. Have you seen yourself? Hubby do you know her?" she whis
Halima saunters into the walk-in closet and locks herself in it. She picks her phone from a table and makes a call. Minutes later she receives a message saying it's in front of your suite. She smiles mischievously and quietly strolls out making sure not to wake Sa'eed up.Walking out she sees a white box. She picks it up and enters the other room in the suite. After dressing in the contents of the box she wears a big black hijab and enters the other room where Sa'eed is asleep. She removes the hijab and enters the bathroom. She wets her two hands with cold water and sashays out again.She grins mischievously then places her now cold hands on Sa'eed's face. Sa'eed flinchs and the first thing he notices is her outfit. She's wearing a milk colored lingerie. She's dressed in his favorite color. Seeing that Sa'eed is checking Halima out, she blushes. He drags her to his lap and as they look into each other's eyes, they both know exact
