He asked as he kept tickling her."Fine! Fineeee... I'm up champ man!" She screamed."Good mummy!" He smiled and
Today is Zuwairah's wedding and she is so happy, many of her friends have been visiting and she can't wait to be called Mrs Rasheed."Hey! where's Tracy?" One of her friend whose name happens to be Comfort asked. Tracy had been her friend for over eighteen years now, and even though she isn't a Muslim, Zuwairah's family loves her so much. She's also one of her best friend."That's true, where is she?" Zulaiha chimed in."I think you guys should all calm down, okay? Her flight will soon land. Don't worry, she's going to make it?" Zuwairah assured them."She better be" they all chorused.It been over an hour now, and there's no any traces of Tracy. The wedding is about to begin and Zuwairah had starting to get restless.

LATER IN THE NIGHT, AFTER THE WEDDING"Don't you dare touch me!". Zuwairah spat at her husband as he tries to come closer to her on their matrimonial bed. Her voice shaking as she uttered those words.And why can't I come closer to my Amarya(Wife)? I'm your husband Zuwairah" he replied her. He can't pinpoint what was happening. Earlier in the morning, before they had tied of the knot, they were so happy. When he had called her on phone whilst they talked, she sounds so happy. Then, why now?

Did she really abhor me this much? What could have been my offence for her to develope this much hatred for me? When she has no interest in this marriage, why then did she agreed to it? She love someone else and she married me? What does she take me for? A fool?He was so much in love with his wife and yet she betrayed him, He finally made up his mind, he will look for her no matter where she runs to,he will make sure he finds her and ask why she had to lie,why she had to deceive him,why she had to cheat him. Is this how she had plan to ruin everything for him? Why would she leave him and run away with a man? Yes, he saw a glimpse of the guy's face. Fuck! I'm even more handsome than that guy! And I'm sure, I'm also more richer than him!Then what was I lacking?"Abdul this is not the right time for this,we need to look for your wife ASAP. This is not funny, you know that?" His friend Abubakar said.
"I really don't know what to do with her anymore,I really can't take it. How dare she!" Mr Dauda said out of annoyance."Brother, please calm down" his kid sister begged "you should know sister by now" she said and he nod in understanding."So my dear,you were trying to say something " he said facing Zulaiha."Yes Abba, she and the guy met day before her wedding ""What?" Everyone chorused in surprise.FlashbackJust as Zuwairah was about to open the gate of their house,she bumped unto Zulaiha which got her startled coz she wasn't expecting to see her, though they may have agreed to meet but not this early morning."Zu...Zulaiha! Hey! How...how are you doing?" She asked with a nervous smile."I'm good" Zulaiha answered as she eye her suspiciously."What happened Zuwairah? You looked tensed"
