Days passed, weeks passed, and months passed. Nabeel was growing up so fast, in fact Nasreen was planning on weaning him. She was going to take him to Hajia Ummah's house. They Planned to spend their weekend away from home. So they checked up Hotels and made their decision.
*****They were to meet up at Fraser suites.He was waiting for her already at the hotel. He was getting his self warmed up, he was going to woo her today. Nasreen's text popped on his sleek screen. Asking for the number of the room. When she arrived at the reception. Looking drop dead gorgeous.Her outfit from her head to her toe, oozed of elegance. First from the pair of Louboutin high heel, that made her look even taller than ever, she wore a white palazzo pant, and matched it with a white top, and wore a Ralph and Russo coat over it, matched it with her Hermès handbag.
She looked too enrapturing, she wrapped her head
"Ouch." She rubbed her temple with three of her fingers. "I am sorry, my bad I didn't watch where I was going was going." He bent down and helped pick her phone. "Oh my, hopefully the phone isn't broken, cause I can't afford to fix it." She muttered in annoyance rolling her eyes skywards. "Wait where are you going? Let me see if the screen is broken, you can't just say sorry and expect I'll just let you go." She pressed the power button and the phone came alive, checking if the screen broke. When he saw her screen saver he was speechless. "How do you know this guy?" Her eyes widened further, "You know him?" She said in utter disbelief. "I will tell you about him." A devilish smirk spread across his lips. "Tell me what you know about him." "Why would I, I don't even know you, and yay!! the screen is not broken, so can I go now?
"So you are telling me that Amani is back in Nigeria, and works as your PA?""Yes Nas, I don't know how she did it, I know she is up to something again, I couldn't fire her, because Mr Oladimeji said the command came directly from dad himself, I can't wrap my head around this honestly.""So what exactly are you angry about now?" Nasreen asked. "I don't know everything." "You are angry she stole your money and she betrayed you?" "I don't know Nas, I don't know. I know she is up to something?" "You can't be so sure about that Irfan?"He let out a snide, "You have such a good heart Babes, It is only the one who lives in the house knows where the roof leaks.""Take a chill Irfan, you are making a big deal out of nothing, she can't get to you if you don't allow her.""What do you mean by that?" He said hotly."Look what I am saying is that if you are not
"Amani why are you so home early today?" Habeeb was sitting on the couch, his legs stretched out on top of the table drinking a cup of tea."He told me to go home." She collected the cup of tea from him and drank it all."And you came back, he fired you came back just like that?""Nope he didn't fire me, I kissed him, we kissed, that was why he sent me home." She said blandly.Habeeb's eyes widened like saucers, he was happy, "Then why are you so sad, is it not part of our plan, it's going smooth yeah?""It is not going smooth Habeeb, what if he really fires me, I need this job, he loves his wife so much that I know he would do anything for her."Habeeb gripped the chair tightly, pangs of jealousy had evaded him. "Look, you are not getting fired Amani, you do what you have to do okay you can't mess this up.""I don't kno
"Amani the way you are smiling like this, it is like everything went well." Habeeb said scanning her appearance."S.O.D!!(son of the devil) Amani teased him. How did you come up with such a smart plan, I never thought it would work, only seen it in movies." "I don't know, it just hit me, and I have always been a smarty pants, or may be a should movie producer don't ya think?""Yes that would be better than doing nothing all day." "Who says I am doing noting all day?" He whispered in her ear and without any warning he captured his lips on her lips.Amani was taken aback by his swift force, she could do nothing order than respond to the splendor of the kisses, and in one swift movement he lifted her up and took her straight to his bed.******When they arrived at the pent house, they met the two security guards. "Aha me kuke yi anan. What
She had been feeling queasy for days now, she thought it was because she was stressed though. She sat on the bed leg crossed with the second bowl of prawn crackers. crunching it hungrily.She had even forgotten she took a test, until she picked the remote from the bed side drawer, and the kit fell on the floor.She picked it kit up, and the result stared back at her. The plus sign was so prominent, she was definitely pregnant.She looked at carefully again, in utter disbelief, though she had an idea of what was wrong with her, but it was strange now.She kept it aside and placed her hand on her flat tummy. She didn't even know what to do, she definitely didn't see that one coming.Wow pregnant Nasreen.. Are you thinking of raising this child alone? I know you can, but the child would need his father someday, are you going to continue be
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~It is said that if your face is swollen from the severe beatings of life, smile and pretend to be a fat man. And that was exactly what she was doing, she was trying her best to be normal again, Irfan had cut her deeper than she could ever imagine.As the blurred days crept into one another. She grasped for thoughts, or things she would do to take her mind off him, but instead her heart kept crumbling over and over again. It had been two weeks since the incident, marking it one month since she moved out of the house. Irfan had come thrice but she refused to let him in. He had tried every means he knew, but still, she won't even look at his face. He dare not call his father or brother, or even Imran, what would he say to them, so he decided to call the one person that would understand and listen to him. He dialled her number.
