Verily, whatever has a beginning, must have an end.

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
Violetta opens her mouth to say something to Sa'eed as he walks away but refrains and smirks at the back of the head of a frowning Halima. She takes the phone which belongs to Sa'eed and slides it into the drawer where documents are kept in the reception.As Halima walks away Violetta places the phone on "total silence" mode which blocks all sounds and vibrations including from alarms, music, games and videos. Phone calls can still be made though.She starts to go through his pictures, videos and other media just as the manager calls for her. She enters his white and baby pink office."ah, Miss Violetta, please have a seat." a smiling dark handsome young man with brown hair, whose name is Aaron says signaling with his hands to the chairs in front of his desk. It's the manager's son.She smiles but instead of sitting where she has been asked to sit, she goes over to his side of
After Violetta got fired Halima felt like a huge boulder has been lifted off her chest, good riddance to bad rubbish, she had said as Violetta left after winking at a disgusted Sa'eed. Now sitting down in front of a mirror inside the walk-in closet of the suite Halima is clad in her party dress.Even though she's going to the birthday party of someone she low-key despises she can't help but feel happy and giddy. She calls Fatima but her airtime has been exhausted. I'll ask Ya Sa'eed to call her later. After smearing her lips with a glittery transparent lip gloss Halima uses a black S-pin to secure a black veil with silver beads scattered around it perfectly on her head.She stands up and looks at herself in the mirror. Her black and silver prom gown is looking so casual yet elegant and classy. The upper bust is silver while from the lower bust down to her legs is black and flowing.Her silver stiletto is shin
Santorini, Greece."thanks. You can take your leave now." Aleesha says dismissing the young man with a wave of her hand as a mischievous smirk makes its way to her face."okay madam."Aleesha brings out a picture of Halima and strokes it with her long index finger saying "oh Halima dear. Did you think I'll ever let go of my Romeo despite what we had before. Then if you did you must be a complete nitwit, a fool, a dimwitted idiot. Sa'eed Abba Sulayman is mine and no one else's. I'll have him by hook or by crook. Moreover if he has forgotten about the past, then i haven't. Of course he will forget the past. I'm sure he can hardly remember that day. Oh Romeo. Poor poor Romeo."Aleesha drops the picture back in her bag and brings out a small Tecno button phone."Hello?... Yeah they just left... What the eff are you still doing? Huh? Are you waiting for me to come an
Sa'eed rushes in to see his wife and her mother, Hajjo sitting in the parlor looking perplexed and confused."Sallamu Alaikum {peace be unto you}." Sa'eed says as he makes himself comfortable on one of the chocolate-colored sofas.The house consists of two parlors. The main parlor which is by the entrance for receiving guests. It is painted in cockroach brown and crystal blue. The cockroach brown couches are arranged in a U-shape. In the middle is a one-seater facing the door to the front porch. By the left and right is a three-seater on each side.Then in the middle of the U-shape is a cockroach brown coffee table with the top made of glass. Under it is a crystal blue pompom carpet with little strands of wools made of cockroach brown wool. The tiles are also plane crystal blue bare of any design. Three large cockroach brown curtains with large crystal blue daises imprinted on them cover an oak door lea
