Seeing Amirah safely gladdened Muhammad more than he could imagine, he enveloped her in a hug that shocked them both.He pulled back and held her by the shoulder, "I was so worried when I came home and didn't see you."
She looked different, sad. He watched her look around the compound before asking him, "have you been back home long?"
"No, no. I just got back. Where were you?"
He saw something akin to relief cross her features, "I just went out for a stroll and got lost."
He stared at her dubiously, "stroll? For how long?"
"Not long." She gave a small laugh, "didn't you just get back? I was out for two hours I think. What time did you get back?"
He was still in shock, it took him awhile to answer her question, "I

•••• •••• •••• ••••Muhammad was elated. He decided he'll put the thought of where Amirah had been last night behind him. She had lied but for whatever reason he forgave her, she was obviously ready to give them a new chance.After all these months, five whole hellish months and In Sha Allah they'll soon be over it all. Nothing could dampen his excitement, not even the thought of seeing Ummul Khair plus he had some issues to settle with Abubakar, the idiot!He had a surgery scheduled for 8am so he got into his office and began to prepare, he changed into his scrubs before picking up the file of his patient and looking over it and that was when the door opened and Abubakar stepped in."Hey I wanted calling you last night but I slept off. Did you find your wife?" He asked teasingly and Muhammad gave him a glar

•••• •••• •••• ••••Her screams woke them both. She'd shot up from the bed with a strangled cry."What's wrong?" Muhammad asked turning on the bedside lamp and a dim yellow light illuminated the room.Amirah stared confusingly as if wondering what she was doing there."Amirah..." He called reaching out to touch her hand and she pulled away so fast he was startled."You're scaring me, what's wrong?"She shook her head still in a daze, "nightmares.""Oh, do you want to talk about it?""You can't handle it." She whispered under her breath."Go back to sleep Muhammad, I'll be in my room.""Are you sure? If you want to sleep in your room, I'll join you." His expression was that of worry but she tried not to look at him as she s

She whisper-yelled at him looking around to see if anyone had seen but the estate was quiet, as usual.He stepped in past her brushing her slightly aside to enter the compound."What's wrong with you?" Amirah asked right after locking the gate behind her."You, that's what's wrong with me. Haven't you been seeing my calls?""I have and I didn't pic

•••• •••• •••• ••••Amirah sat on the floor and hugged her knee to her chest as tears ran down her cheeks, she didn't know what was wrong with her, she didn't know what made her speak to Muhammad in such manner and to think, she'd thought she was smart and had gotten away with her lies about where she'd been the day she'd gone out with AbdulRahman.Muhammad had known but he had let it slide but what about her? What'd she do? She'd confronted him about it like she was a saint herself meanwhile she was the hypocrite. To tell the truth, she'd been scared.Zulaihat had gotten out of the taxi just as AbdulRahman had given her a peck, she'd stood wide-eyed staring, AbdulRahman hadn't noticed her so he strolled to his car, got in and drove off just as another lady got out of the ta

Muhammad drove out of the house angrily, he'd said he'll sleep at a hotel but he found himself en route to Ummul Khair's place. How did Amirah know he'd had anything to do with her? He needed answers, he needed to know if Ummul Khair had been the one who told her.So he parked in front of her house and got into the compound heading straight to her apartment. She opened the door, dressed in a big T-shirt that reached her mid things, her hair was covered in a bonnet and she had a cup of ice cream in hand.Ummul Khair eyed him up and down, "can I help you?""Can I come in?" He tried not to remember what had happened the last time he'd been here.She eyed him warily before going in, a wordless invite to him, he followed her in. She sat and crossed her legs, his gaze dragged to her long bare legs, he quickly averted it but she'd caught him."Why are you here Muhammad? I don't remember us

•••• •••• •••• ••••Amirah didn't feel anything after. She went about her morning quietly, she made a lone breakfast and sat in front of the TV watching a morning show as she sipped from her cup of coffee, after ending the call she'd called AbdulRahman and told him she was ready to start work on Monday.She heard noises behind her but she didn't even bother turning."Ina kwana- good morning." Ruqayya greeted smiling pleasantly."Mmmhmm." Amirah replied not wanting to talk to her or Zulaihat who stood by her side looking guilty, Ruqayya nudged her."Uhmm I'm sorry for last night, I shouldn't have intervened. Whatever fight you had was with my brother and I shouldn't have...""It's fine." Amirah cut in, she didn't want this talk to drag on, she wasn

Lara Akinwummi was a grey haired, smallish woman with a pleasant face."Hello you're right on time." She said coming down the stairs. They lived in an upper class neighborhood that had left Amirah almost speechless with how magnificent most of the buildings looked.Amirah was dressed in a teal colored abaya with a matching veil, her face was bare of makeup but..."You're so beautiful wow." Mrs Lara said pulling Amirah up for a hug and Amirah towered over her considering she was average height and still on heels."Muhammad, my boy." Doctor Akinwummi said patting Muhammad on his back."How're you doing sir?""I'm fine." Then he fake-whispered, "does your wife has equally beautiful sisters?"Lara turned to him with a glare and he bursted out laughing raising his hand in a surrending manner."I'm asking for a friend."

Their boss.Amirah was apprehensive, she was aware that she didn't have enough qualifications for her position and was probably too young for it but she was determined to put her best, the salary was also mouth watering.Dayo was willing to help her out and Ladi just kept throwing in dumb pickup lines.She reclined on her seat and rubbed her eyes as she dropped the designs submitted for a new building being set up.
