BK 2 chapter 10
It had been a month since I'd left Abdulrahman's house. I sighed tiredly and rubbed my temple, I'd been feeling a slight headache. Abdulrahman used to visit once a week and pleaded for me to come back but I couldn't because I wanted him to know my worth.
Maryam visited me every weekday after work. I'd returned back to the office after I'd left it in care of my younger brother- Lut.
The person sending the letters was still a mystery. I received gifts and letters almost thrice in a week.

"Divorce you".
"No, she can't do that?" He said anxiously.
"She can't leave you, uhn?. You never make her happy except by adding pain to the opened scars." Maryam yelled at him.
"She can't leave me" he laughed nervou

BK 2 chapter 11 Everything happened in a blur, I felt the tightening in my chest, throat as well as shortness of breath while my hands clammed with sweat.My eyes glued to the spot. Flashback of Yusuf's death replayed back as one of my favorite movies. My body felt like someone was controlling it and that nothing could save me. I just wanted to fade into nothingness. My breathing became shallow and hyperventilating, I began to shake while my mind went black, I was unable to think at all. I felt lightheaded and collapsed on the floor, crying uncontrollably and having breathing difficulties. My hands tensed up and went tingly from lack of oxygen due to hyperventilating.No, I screamed internally in anguish.I felt a warm hand, soothing my back and put me into a hug. I couldn't make out the person's shape or figure but the person

BK 2 chapter 12Here I was sitting in the doctor's office nervously, the doctor requested to see me in his office."Hello ma'am", he greeted me with a small smile while taking off his coat. I nodded my head in acknowledgment and slumped down on my seat."The reason I called you here was because of your son's health" my heart spiked at the mention of my son's name."What's wrong" my voice croaked, it reflected my feelings."Well, thank God. A good Samaritan donated his blood, luckily it matched your son's own" he smiled lightly while I grinned widely in return happily.Alhamdulillah!, my son is okay."When is he getting discharged," I asked excitedly, I couldn't contain the immense joy I was feeling. I'd missed my boy so much."He will be discharged soon but we need to carr

BK 2 chapter 13 Abdullahi was discharged two weeks after going through some tests. The doctor has appointed him to a speech therapist; the disorder could be short or long term.He had been on bed rest for a month at home, I never let him out even at school. I locked him up and he had been pestering me on it while I always shrugged it off."Mo-mom-ma, I'm fiiiiine!. I don't liiiike staaaaying iiin beeeed" he whined."You need more rest baby," I told him softly, pinching his chubby cheek."I'm fine" He grumbled, "buuuut schooool?" His eyes lit up."No school" I grinned at him, "I'm gonna homeschool you" I replied while crunching plantain chips. He stretched his hand to pick but I swatted his hand away and stuck my tongue out."Noooooo" he exclaimed with wide eyes, "moooomma you can't teach me" he pou

Bk 2 chapter 14 I was shocked would be an understatement. I looked pale the moment I saw his face.His arm still snaked around me, I struggled to get out of his arm but he smirked at me and pulled me harder to him.He is alive!.I couldn't believe it?.How?."Are you okay?" he smiled while his eyes twinkled with mischief.I scrambled away from him and went to the gents while my heart was beating erratically.I rushed to the basin, I splashed water on my face. And I cleaned the bead of sweat on my face while looking at the mirror. I saw a shadow flashed at the mirror, I turned back quickly but found nothing.Maybe I am hallucinating!.I splashed some water again on my face, as I was raisi

BK 2 chapter 15 I ran to my room hastily without glancing back at the people I left in the sitting room. I banged the door loudly after me and slumped down the door.Why me?!.Why can't I be free for once?!.The pounding on the door intensified, never ceased to stop as I was hearing Maryam and Abdulrahman the other side of the door, urging me to open but I didn't answer them. By the time they realized I would not answer their request by opening the door, they left me alone to wallow in my self-pity."Ya Allah!, why?" I sobbed loudly, hot tears streaming down my cheeks with my fingers trembled."These are too much for me, I never pray for these oh Allah" I went on. "Ya Allah, I know this is my challenge, please help me. You are the one who saved prophet Yunus inside the belly of the fish. Please help me. Give me steadfastness,

He asked me for the nth time.Abdulrahman came early to check on me whether I was doing great or not.I told him I was going to Abdullah's school to meet the headmaster. He said the headmaster needed my attention."Is it necessary?" He whined, "can't you go out with me today"."Abdulrahman!, I said this earlier that I was needed in his school and you didn't tell me you are coming today" I raised my brow to validate my point."Huff, but Sophia I wanted to talk to you" he resat on the couch, facing me."What do you want?," I asked him."Sophia, sincerely I've changed, I'm now a changed man. Please forgive me for all I've done. I can't change it but I can make the present" he pleaded. I sighed tiredly and pinched the bridge of my nose.

BK 2 chapter 17 I woke up groggily, I groaned tiredly, scrutinizing my eyes. The ray of light was too bright. The smell of disinfectant made my heart constrict.I hated the smell of the hospital!.I hated hospitals!.They held too many unwanted memories.But wait!.Yusuf!.Yusuf was alive!.Where was he since all these years!.My eyes sting with unshed tears. I felt turned and betrayed.He left me.He didn't want me.Why couldn't he divorce me and tell me he wasn't doing it again?.Why did he make me suffer so much?.What have I done so wrong?.

I couldn't look her in the eyes without feeling betrayed.She would knock on my door, urging to open the door for hours but I didn't open the door. I needed space.It hurt.Its pain.I was folding the masala (praying mat) when my room door was knocked.I paused for a while before saying, "who is there?"."It's me sis" I heard Maryam's hoarse voice. She had been crying.It hurt me to hurt them."What do you want?" I asked her coldly. Turning my back away from the door as if sh
