With that Amirah ended the call, switched off her phone and began sobbing. She was shaking as the tears poured down furiously.
What did she do to deserve Hajiya as a mother? Such a callous person. Her mother was a beast, she's denied her mother's true nature for as long as she could but now it she couldn't anymore."You're just making a big deal out of something that happened years back, you and your stupid nightmares." Her mother's words echoed. She covered her ears with her hands to block out her voice but she could still hear them even louder,

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."

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."

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 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."
