CHAPTER FOURMUSADIQIn his car, parked just the next street across his home, he sighed deeply, he was confused and angry.He seems like he was going through so much, he want things to be better. He was told to put his home in place and that was what he was trying to do but he just could not even get help from his wife.Aziza, He had never seen her feel bad, he called her his gold mine. It was never his desire to get married to a woman as perfect as she was. Yes, she was perfect, she had the perfect brain, perfect behavior and a perfect body, everything was great and perfect when he saw her considering how he grew up, he didn’t know he would ever be lucky in life, He is a boy from a very humble beginning, his parents were very poor and it was difficult to even once daily. “I think you have to stop school.” His father told him one evening and he didn’t know what best to do, he had just complete his junior secondary school as at that time. “Mami, Bami said no more school again.” He
He just want a better life for himself. “I am waiting.” The man said. “Okay sir, can I get the information on how to locate your place sir, I have never been to Ibadan before.” He asked the man after a deep thought and the man gave him his business card.“You can visit anytime.” He said to her and drove off, paid him and even gave him transport fare to visit if he want to and he was left by the roadside deep in thought.He know without doubt that he will have to go see the man, there is no harm in trying , he had been in Ogbomosho for a while and travelling to Ibadan in search of greener pastures sound a like a great idea, it is one of the reason he left home. Perhaps going there will give him a better life and before making the great decision, he performed his Istikharah after Maghreb while he wait at the Masjid to perform Ishai.He just want to be guided, he know he had been through so many risks that moment and there is no way he can go back home without accomplishing his desire.
“I would not fuck up this time Adunni ins sha Allah… please, all I want is a second chance… it is only way I can have peace.” He pleaded.“I want my first love back… I need her for support, you have always been my rock right from the first day you become my wife… I want that woman that treat my parents like hers, I want that woman who always listens all the jargons I say and believe it… Please Adunni, give me a second chance.” He plead them and then he realised there were tears in her eyes again and she rested her head on his shoulder and cried. “I promise, I will learn, I will learn on how to be a just Husband and I pray Allah make it easy… and like always I need your prayers, please.” He said to her and he listened to her sobs gently and his heart melted, he had never seen this weakest part of his wife, she didn’t even cry much when she lost her pregnancy and he know she must deeply be hurt. She watched her raised her head and starred at him, “I am not crying because you want to
“Did you know how many of your missed calls I have on my phone?” he asked her and she was silent before she glanced at her friend whose attention was on the call she was making to know their conversation.“You remind me of my sister who keep calling me all the time.” He said to her.“Why will you call me sis?” she said to him and he laughed again. “Where are you?” he asked her.“I am at the stall? Are you coming?” she asked him.“Emu ke? No ooo, I am about to go back home….I need to go pick Habeebullah up and then go back home,” He said to her.“Hummm,” she said frowning and then swallowed hard. “What am I supposed to do now, the caterer…” she tried to explain.“Your step mum and I had sorted the issue out already, we discussed this morning, I was at your house to see her.” He said to her and she sighed.“Since when did you start calling my step mother to discuss my wedding?” She asked him. 'She is your mum after all... I am so sorry if you are offended but I am just following in
She smiled as soon as he joined her on the bed. “This one that you are giving me this cute smile… it is like I know what you want.” He said moving closer to her under the heavy blanket. “See the man that want to get married….” She said still smiling and his heart sank, he know how she does not want to have anything to do with his second marriage and he had tried not to discuss about it with her, he respect her privacy and the fact that she know about it and seem to be preparing for it, he is happy.“I was at the flat today, what do you want to do about it?” She asked him, “You went to the flat?” he asked her and she nodded.She was suddenly a bit lonely in the house and so decided to take a tour round the compound, there are six flats in the compound, she and her husband lives in one and that is the largest and put up the other five flats up for rent, the fifth flat was vacated some months earlier and had been left unoccupied and when her husband told her of his second marriage, sh
She looked around the large living room as she sat down quietly in the living room as soon as the last guest left the house and she took a deep breathe and watched her husband joined her in the living room, he had went into the bed room to have a shower. “Would you not have a shower?” he asked her and sat down on the sofa beside her.“Oya, go and shower and change from this your heavy dressing.” He teased her and she blushed.“I can’t believe my one and only lady would be this shy? The super woman herself” he teased her further.“Who told you I am shy?” she said to him.“Of course, how can my olori be shy? Just go and have your shower and let us have something to eat.” He said to her and she nodded “Come and show me the way.” She said dragging him up to his feet and he smiled lovingly at her, he recalled how shy and Aziza was being that close to him even after several months of Nikkah, unlike her, Sadiqah warmed up to him immediately as if they have been together all the time .. but
He entered the bedroom and dialed Aziza’s phone number again, it rang for the second time before she picked the call up. “I am sorry, didn’t know how the phone fell from my hand.” He said to her and swallowed hard, and there was silence from the other end. “Aziza, are you there?” he asked her. “Yes, I am, I will hang up now.” She said and just like she said, she just hung up and he eave a sigh. How dare she? He had never been disrespected that way before and also, he can’t remember the last time he called someone crazy out of anger, he always try so hard to keep his temper in check and for the first time in twenty hours, he became scared of what the future holds for him, he want to stabilize his home, he wanted to try the best for both of them and he realised that it might not be so easy as he thought, Sadiqah was not that easy. He remember how they met; It was a busy day for him and a rush hour as well, he had hardly left the office when he received a call from Aziza and plead
The knock came again and without response, she opened the door and stared at him as she peeped into the room and then slowly enter the room. The new couple stared at each other for a while and slowly she moved closer.“I will meet you in your room.” he said and turn away from her, she sighed and moved closer to him not listening to him, slowly she sat down beside him and tie one of her hands around his waist and put the other one on his thigh, then rested her head on the shoulder. “I thought you love me…” she said to him and he was quiet. “You called me crazy.” She said to him and he sighed. “I didn’t know you will be offended…” she said.“And you raised your voice at me.” She said and she felt his hand on her hand which was on his laps and she smiled. “We are both wrong and I am sorry.” He said and she nodded.“Are you not going to apologize too?” he asked her.“I will … but in another way…” she said as she let her hand travel a bit from his thigh to his crotch and he smiled at h
