Juwairiyyah kept shaking the baby, shaking her so hard hoping the baby will make some sort of noise or just open her eyes. Fear crept into her heart, she laid down the baby back on her bed, and sat there, stunned, out of words, lost in deep thoughts.
"Mamanah! Mamanah...." Juwairiyyah choked, kneeling down by the bedside. Even in her ignorance of the death symptoms, the cold skin of her beloved daughter confirmed her fear.
"Hajiya! Hajiya come to my aid! Inna lillahi wa inna ilaihir rajiuun". Juwairiyyah said in tears, she choked up again for the second time, before losing her consciousness. Just then Hajiya Azumi, Hajiya Raliya and Alhaji Abbas came into the room, all shocked at the scene they saw.
"What could have happened?". Hajiya Raliya asked in tears, feeling the baby's pulse.

Alhaji Abbas, Hajiya Raliya and Hajiya Azumi all stood at the doorway, stunned and suprised at what Arfaat was saying. Alhaji Abbas was flabbergasted remembering all what he did to her, what if she died? Without him asking for her forgiveness and telling her how much he love her."Mama, lis.....". A very sound slap landed on Arfaat right cheek, and another again on his left. "How dare you Arfaat! How could you do a thing like that? What has gotten into you? Was this how I brought you up?

"Is that a yes?"Junayd asked smiling. Juwairiyyah was still silent, she sat still, tears rolling down her cheeks, her heart beats increased in pace, as if she ran for kilometers without stopping. She grew up with Junayd, shared a lot of things with him. Infact, she was already in love with him when he left, but now, she is nonplussed of her feelings towards him, more so; she's now a divorcée, will he still marry her that way?.My earliest memory has always been with yaa junayd, him bathing me, feeding, clothing and so on.She was so engrossed in her thoughts, when she felt yaa junayd's hand on mine,...

"Issues like this needs time and decision making, you can't just do things the way you want them.""I only want to talk to yaa junayd privately" she said, as she looked at hajiya azumi straight in the eyes. "Without you interfering, we need some time alone" She concluded. "But juw....""Say no more grandma, just go." Hajiya Azumi looked at her grandchildren, she can't help them, there is nothing she can do about it.

"Easy lily, go easy on yourself". Arfaat said, his heart beating fast. Junayd only gave her a sharp look, more like a warning. They both looked at her quickly, on of them with a surprised and shocked look, the other with a very happy and smiling face."Repeat what you just said lily". Arfaat said, his voice chocky."I said i choose Yaa Junayd to be my husband". She said, almost like whispering. Arfaat shook his head, shaking it hard, he didn't even have the courage to say a word as tears rolled down his cheeks."I can't loose you Juwai, Juwai you can't do this to me; don't do it please, you know how much i love you" he quickly took hold of hajiya azumi's hand, holding it tight "tell her hajiya, tell her she means the world to me, i love so very much.

But what she saw after closing the door behind her shocked the hell out of her, deep inside, she was still grateful for choosing Junayd as her husband to be. "Yaa Junayd" she called slowly, after overcoming the shock of what she saw "yaa junayd are you okay? What's wrong with you?" She asked, as she walked over to where he was lying down. But as soon as she approached him, a heavy and polluted smell gave her a warm welcome. She quickly stood up, her eyes wide open in shock. What could this be? Is junayd a drunkard? Yaa Allah! No! This can't be."Yaa junayd, what is this smell? Don't tell me its what am thinking?" She asked, standing over him.

His speech ended as he begin to throw up without a stop. The room was filled with t
