"But mummy why did you go to the hospital?" Sa'eed asks looking perplexed.
"well. Halima went to see a gynecologist." Hajjo says.
Sa'eed's heart skips a beat. Is she pregnant? He can feel his heart palpitating with joy. "wh.. What happened? Is she okay? Why a gynecologist?" Sa'eed says hope masking all his features.
Hajjo gestures for Halima to continue. "yanzu nikam na tafi {I'm gone}. That should be something your wife tells you and not me." Hajjo says and adjusts her yellow veil and picks up her Gucci bag then leaves the couple alone.
"Habeebty why did you guys see a gynecologist of all doctors?" Sa'eed says silently hoping that she says what his heart is hoping for.
"don't make fun of me dan Allah {for Allah's sake}. While we were at the hospital today when i went to give my blood, i felt dizzy and the nurse suggested i see a gynecologist for my
"Habeeby you're taking too much time in this toilet fah. Are you a girl?" Halima whines as she ties the rope of her Khimaar to the back."ai I told you to come inside with me. That way, i won't take time for no reason." Sa'eed says and Halima can imagine him wiggling his eye brows.She has been asked by the gynecologist not to be intimate till the result comes out. Sa'eed has been whining about that since the day she told him which was a day after she went to the hospital. And Halima being Halima has been teasing him by wearing showing or tight clothes and sometimes even lingeries."pervert. Be fast dan Allah {for Allah's sake}. I don't want to miss the appointment. You know she's the best gynecologist at Fereprod so if i miss it you have to wait a whole two weeks before you can...." Halima says and Sa'eed can also imagine her wiggling her brows with a full blown teasing smile playing on her lips.
Sa'eed calls a friend of his who happens to be the crime officer of Wuse II among others. "Hello Bello?" "Sa'eed ah ahn. Long time. Ya amaryar mu? {how's our bride?}." "shatap! Amaryata bah amaryar ku bah. {my bride not your bride} anyways we have a situation behind Wuse market. You're still the crime officer right?" "yes. What's the situation?" "Brutal face mutality,murder a takaice {in short}." "Subhanallah! Send me the location. Who is it?" "a driver of mine. But i don't even want to file a complaint. I just need some muslms to come take him and perform the funeral rites. I'm going to the hospital with my wife yanzu haka {right now}." "ah ahn. Tohhh! Should we expect good news." "we'll talk later we're getting late." and Sa'eed cut the call. He doesn't want to tal
Sa'eed sits in the hospital conflicted. He doesn't know what to do. He could follow Halima and probably get shouted at, or he could get Innayo's driver to take Halima home and whatever would happen will be delayed to till they get home. He decides on the earlier but stops dead in his tracks as a thought occurs to him, what if there's a cure. He rushes back to the consultation room and luckily the doctor is free. "sorry doctor but if you don't mind I have some questions." "sure, go ahead." Dr Maryam says dropping her Swan bottled water which is now empty. She was chugging it down when Sa'eed came in. "is there any chance that there's a cure for this... I don't know what to call it?" "yes. There are two; diet, transplant." "okay. So explain each. Like the way they work, the sidr effects and all that." Sa'eed says
Sa'eed enters the car elated. He looks at Halima and finds out she's just sitting there, not even noticing his giddiness. He starts humming to her favorite song, Havana by Camila Cabello while bobbing his head as he starts the car but still, no response.He turns to look at her and sees she has a faraway look in her eyes, she isn't huffing, growling or groaning due to anger as he thought she would be. Neither was she crying hysterically or at least looking sad or broken. She just sits there, looking calm, collected with a faraway look in her eyes. That doesn't make any sense.He waves his hand in front her face, still, no reply. He snaps his fingers in front of her face, no reply. What's left? He kisses her long and hard, still, no reaction, no reply, nothing. Is she really angry with him that much or has something happened to her?He engulfs her in a hug begging her to talk to him but she doesn't even flinch. She
"sis!" Hannah AbdulMajid, popularly known as Bella, the only sister to Aleesha screeches through the phone making Aleesha remove the phone from her ear."ke, do you want to destroy my ear drums?" Aleesha says rolling her eyes."you're right. Mummy and daddy have left. This morning!" Bella squeals again."oh my God. Hannee imma cut the call." Aleesha says and cuts the call. Bella calls back making Aleesha groan in annoyance."Ayyaa mana Ya Leesh you promised to come fah." Bella whines."chill, I'll come. Ai we're just in the first week of April. Before they come back I'll come. Majids promise." Aleesha says."kay kay. Catcha later." Bella says before cutting the call. It's been three days since Paul - a thug that works for Lash - went to start working at Halima's home. He's going to completely gain their trust today and two
It's the day. The day for the downfall of Halima Audu Kalshingi. The day has arrived and Aleesha can't be any happier. Nothing can ever go wrong, or so she thinks. Of course nothing would go wrong. It's the one and only Humylash that planned it out and called the Paul man to take it out. Of course it'd work.Aleesha wakes up feeling giddy, ecstatic, happy and propitious. Nothing would be able to ruin her mood even if it tried. She walks over to her suitcases, jumping lightly like a child who has been promised all the sweet things in the world, and takes out an army green French lace with black beads sewn into patterned flowers on it, a black turban and black Aldo flats. It isn't Friday, it's Thursday, yet she is getting all dolled up. Why? Well, that's because she will be going to be her Romeo's.It has been done and now all she's waiting for is the good news and then she'd head out like a heroine, pretending to come for a visit. If on
Paul looks at Halima, torn apart between telling the truth and getting his throat slit by a woman. He doesn't want either to occur. He tries to elbow her but she brings the knife closer to his neck."don't try any nonsense. I might be a woman but I'm no weakling." Halima says each and every of the letters making the words she's saying dripping dangerously with warning.Halima doesn't even know who is holding Paul like that but she's sure she isn't the one. How she got the confidence to do what she's doing, only Allah knows. Even though touching a non-Mahram is Haram, she has to do it. Allah looks at intentions, not actions alone.Paul gulps. He's never been so tied up in making a decision. On one hand is his life, the other is money. He gulps again, sweat trickling down his forehead. Is he scared? Of course he isn't. Paul Okonkwo has never been scared.He's been held at gun po
Aleesha quickly picks her phone as she parks a little bit away from Sa'eed's home. She types something before deleting it. She types something again and deletes it. After lot more thoughts, she finally types a short five sentenced message and sends it. After taking a deep breath, she looks at Sa'eed's house and mutters "to be mine very soon." before driving to another secluded part of Kuje which unfortunately for her, doesn't have tarred road.After grunting and huffing she finally reaches a three story building painted in milk and ash from the exterior. She parks her car and alights, intentionally leaving her suitcases in her car. She knocks thrice before remembering she can't be heard from inside as most of the doors are sound proof. The reason behind it is that her parents are always fighting.She presses the door bell thrice before walking back to her car. She calls Bella, her younger sister."keh H
