17. Divorce
Ikhlas POV
I left for Delilah's wedding and as planned, I have to get to Lagos first before taking a flight to New York.
Khaleel was also in Lagos for a conference so he'll be the one to see me off. I got to the place we were to meet and thankfully he was there before me.
"Hey dollface! Good morning" he greeted with that signature smirk evident on his face.
"Hi" I greeted back, hopping in his car and we zoomed off.
" Am literally starving so can we branch any restaurant?" He asked focousing on his driving.
" Well my stomach also needs to have it fill" I replied chuckling.
We got to the restaurant and we both ordered fries and chicken.
I slowly munched on my food as he did with his. It was awfully quiet and I noticed that he was kind of tensed.
We finished our meal and I offered to pay for it but he strongly decline

THE HOMEWRECKER 18. Regret.
Haneef POV. I sat close to her, taking her hands in mine, my eyes glued to her petite statue; Her chest rising and falling, coupled with her low but audible breaths. I watched as the fluid from the IV drip trickled down into her veins causing me to heave another exasperated sigh. It's been three goddamn hours since she blacked out and she is still not regaining consciousness. Tears stung my eyes as I continue to suppress those emotions viciously tugging at my heartstrings.I am the world's meanest guy right? Yeah I know that. Am starting to hate myself, I shouldn't have done this no matter what. I should have begged mom more, maybe this wouldn't have happened. As a result of what I did, here is my Haneefah lying on a hospital bed. I can't even call her parents cause I don't know how to explain the reason why she fainted to them. Everything is ju
THE HOMEWRECKER 19. Agreement
Haneefah POV. I worm my way through the mass of bodies congregating at the entrance of Aminu Kano Teaching Hospital, sighing in irritation. Am late for work and it seems like no one is in a hurry to get to his/her own business. Figure that.Yeah! After much persuasion, I was allowed to continue going to work, promising them that I'll be fine.Actually staying at home wouldn't have helped me in any way. Infact staying at home would definitely keep me psychologically deranged. I just have to keep myself busy by doing what I love the most."Oi ! Wasai!"I whip around at the sound of my name, my eyes already narrowed to scold the person who used my last name. The culprit was of course my sunshine.I briskly walked into her arms as she engulfed me into a hug."Why are you here?" I asked her with a wide grin. I swear
THE HOMEWRECKER 20. Her Choice
Haneefah POV. I stared at the photo in front of me, reminiscing about all our happy moments. He looked so peaceful and genuinely happy in the picture so different from the man he became now. I missed him so much, so very much that every second without him hurts like a thorn stuck in my throat. I felt someone hugged me from behind, stopping my trail of thoughts. Turning around, I smiled at her worried figure. "Ikhee I'll be fine okay" I assured her. She kinda hooked up with that Khaleel guy and she is going on a date with him this evening. "I was looking for you Hanny and here you are staring at your husband's picture. I Know how you feel sunshine but just endure it for some more time and you'll be back to your husband in no time." She said soothingly massaging my hair. " Hey! You have a date this Evening. How do you expect to have a peaceful date if your are this worr

I was waiting for her to burst out laughing and admit that she was joking but she looked so dead serious." Wait a sec, I don't get what you are trying to say.

THE HOMEWRECKER 24. The Wedding
Ikhlas POV. "Hey What about these?" Haneefah asked, holding a black lingerie up in the air making my cheeks beet red. I still couldn't get over the fact that lingeries were added in the betrothal box. " I don't need that one too. Take it out" I replied with a scoff, trying very hard to conceal the blush now evident on my cheeks. "You are the weirdest, stupidest, most moronic person I have ever let myself befriend" she sighed heavily after a long pause, with a look on her face that told me that she'd had enough of my idiotic tendencies. I couldn't blame her for that. I replied with an eyeroll, picking one of the cupcakes on the dresser, stuffing my mouth with it. " You just can't admit how excellently modest of a Bestfriend I am""There is nothing modest in this! She exclaimed. I honestly can't see the logic in your modest plan" she said, making quotation marks in the a

Ikhlas POVSix months later ♥️♥️I woke up to the faint sound of the Adhan (call for prayer) as the whistle-like sound of the breeze from my open window caresses my ears. I tore the covers off me and slowly got out of bed. The constant Facebook notifications and text messages popping up on my phone screen.Guess why! it's the 24th of April (my birthday). I happily got to the bathroom, performed Ablution and prayed Subh. As if on cue, my mother called and wished me a happy birthday. She showered her prayers on me and my family.My stomach grumbled, reminding me of the need to stuff something into it. I took an apple from my bedroom mini fridge, took a large bite from it as I scrolled through my page and replied to each of the faces whom had wish me a happy birthday. I wasn't really bothered to ge
