Once upon a time, the blue of the sky fell in love with the calm of the sea, the clouds in between whispered "Alas." Farisha is the only child to billionaire Alhaji Shehu, she is spoilt, brattish and untamed. Having watched her mother suffer neglect and pain from her ever-busy nonchalant father for so many years, she develops in her heart, an unnatural hatred for all men, despising them all with a great passion. Risha (Farisha) hence makes it her full-time business to frustrate, ruin and destroy any unlucky prey she happens to pounce on. An insatiable frustration struggles within her leading to immoral habits, ever priding herself as the iron lady with a heart of stone, she is immune to love (or at least so she thought). She holds this notion of herself until she meets the calm, charismatic, humble, heart stopping ruggedly handsome and rather too "nice-quiet” Farhan, an upcoming lawyer in her father's company. To her out most disgust and anger, she finds her searching heart greatly attracted to this enigmatic character. For making her feel this supposed weakness, she develops what could be termed an “unnatural hatred and obsession”. In her own crazy way, she sets out to punish him in a way she had never punished anyone. And what better way than to trap him than in what she considered, the worst fate any could endure, “MARRIAGE". Will she succeed in her ruthless plan or will her searching heart betray? Find out in this heart stopping saga of love, hate and intrigue. "Risha is not evil, she is just mostly up to no good."

Sitting up, it took about 10 seconds to register where he was. “How did I end up here?” He thought trying to remember. Then it all came to him, the night before, the fever, her barging into his room, giving him drugs, cooking that stuff she called food, all of it. Slowly, he got to his feet, the headache was gone and he felt slightly better than the day before. It was then he realised it was morning, he could see the rays of the sun as it shuns through the window, quickly he looked at the wall clock.“Subhnallah” he exclaimed as he realised what time it was, 10:17am. He was about to stand up when he realised she was sitting on the chair beside his.“Good morning to you husband, hope you had a good night rest? It must have been good considering how you slept like the fool you are.”Farhan stirred at her in amazement? “Why didn’t you wake me?”
***Risha pressed the pillow to her face in a desperate attempt to block the annoying sound and find some sleep, it was around 1am and still she could not sleep.“Uurh!”, she exclaimed in disgust as she heard him sneeze loudly again and again, “when will he stop? He is driving me crazy.” She felt like screaming into the pillow. A few minutes passed without any sound, hoping she had heard the last for the night, she tried to find some sleep. But just as sleep began to take her on its wings, he sneezed again. “Aaaarh!!! That’s it,” she exclaimed jumping down from her bed. Angrily, she raced for his room, debating what to smack the fool with. As she barged into the room however, she stopped at the sight she saw. He was covered in thick blankets, shivering, his nose running free. Seeing him like that diffused some of her venomous anger. Although his eyes were open, she could tell he had not noticed she was there.He sneezed again.“Stop it”, she screamed, “stop it right now, you are dri
Farhan awoke with a sharp pain at his temple and an awful taste in his mouth, the room looked dark but from the sounds outside he guessed it was already day break. His whole body ached as he struggled to sit up, getting to his feet, he proceeded to perform his ablution and perform his salaat, he couldn’t remember the last time he missed the morning congregational prayers, the whole change was affecting him badly, judging from how he was feeling, he seemed to be coming down with a cold, since that Risha girl had emptied a whole bucket of cold water on him. About 20mins later he was ready for work, all the time his stomach gnawing with hunger, he couldn’t remember ever feeling this hungry in his entire life, he had gone to bed with a very empty stomach, to his disgust, he had discovered that the stores in the neighbourhood hardly stayed open beyond the Maghreb prayer, he missed his own lively neighbourhood, yes the areas was definitely over populated and noisy but it was lively also you
And so, it ended with a morning victory for Farhan or at least so it seemed. At work he found he knew absolutely nothing about running the business, everyone one had been instructed to be nice and helpful, he was thrilled at what he had been able to pick up on his first day, Alhaji had not been oblivious about the fact that he was not trained for such a position, so everyone had been duly instructed to help him settle in without trouble, most of the serious work was still been handled by the former manager. Hence Farhan felt he could relax and learn at his own pace, despite everything, he was determined to excel, for although he seemed not to have control over every other aspect of his life, he was determined to do his best at the one thing he had a free hand in, his work.By 4pm when he finally closed for the day he was very tired and very hungry, he had not had a stable meal for about four days, his appetite had deserted him, but after a long days’ work he felt he could
She tossed and turned over in her bed for a few seconds before finally becoming fully awake, she rubbed her eyes to clear the sleep, she wasn’t sure what had disturbed her sleep, turning over, she peeked at the bed side clock, it was just 3:30am, wondering what her woken her, she sat up as her ears picked up a strange sound, something musical like a person humming in a distance. Puzzled she frowned automatically coming to stand on her feet “what is that?” she wondered confused, standing up, she walked towards the sound, strangely, it was coming from the wall, getting even more confused, she slipped her slippers on and walked to the wall, putting her ears against the wall she listened holding her breath. It was a beautiful sound she admitted to herself, slow, beautiful and melodious. She could not quite place her finger on the music, the more she heard it, the more she was captivated by it. Who could be making that sound she wondered, obviously, it was coming from t
He closed his eyes as he inhaled deeply in the fresh air and scent of the flowers that grew down below the balcony, it still felt like a dream to him, a crazy night mare that he could not wake up from. After two days of the crowed, the excitement, it was a welcome change to have some peace and quiet. Opening his eyes, half hoping to find that it was all a dream and that he wasn’t standing here, in Alhaji shehu’s family house, with her as his…he couldn’t think further, such pain and anguish griped his entire being. He hadn’t seen her since yesterday at their reception and dinner party…right now, he couldn’t belief that they were in the same house, “alone…with him as her hus…” again, he closed his eyes to minimize the expression of pain that clouded his eyes.“O Allah, what has happened to me?” he whispered almost to himself.“Allow me to explain.”Startled, he turned abr
She stared at her reflection in the mirror, dressed in full bridal regalia, she was just absolutely stunning, her beautiful hair was well combed and stylishly made and covered in a transparent red veil that covered her from head to toe, her makeup was perfect, her eyes looked shaper with the eye liner, although very mildly, the blusher made her cheeks pink emphasising her beautiful cheek bones, her red lips looked redder with the lipstick on. Despite her blunt refusal to have any makeup, Aunty Fatima wasn’t having any of it,“This is a once in a life time experience, it is the day that is the best for us women, and you know the funny part? Good as it is, we pray for it to happen only once.”Aunty Fatima was a wife to her father’s friend and a bosom friend of her late mother. As she sat there staring at herself in the mirror and listening to voices in the hall, she had to admit to herself, this was really happening. Daddy kept true to his
Farhan just stared at her, becoming more surprised at her behaviour, “Miss?” He prompted, “Excuse me are you ok?” He inquired standing up, when she didn’t reply, he went over to her, standing a reasonable distaste away. “Miss are you alright?”Then she turned slowly, her eyes blazing with super human anger, “I warned you, didn’t I? Told you would regret your actions.”“Sorry?” his face showed just how surprised he was.“No one talks to me like that and goes scot free, now I will show you the consequence for your actions”. Then she did the most unexpected thing. With surprising speed agility, she held her skimpy dress at the chest and tore it down to her breast; Farhan stepped back in shock, his little eyes getting bigger at the scene that was unfolding before his eyes.Using her hands, she scattered the items on the table, then she hit herself hard on the lip, it started to bleed immediately, using all her strength, she screamed pulling at her hair, there were footsteps hurrying towar
He turned over slowly, rubbing the sleep of his eyes as he reached to turn off the alarm clock at the bed side, it was 3am and the weather was a little colder than usual, he rolled back into the bed lying on his back to stare at the ceiling for a few minutes, trying to pull together his resolve, he would wake up for kiyamul layl he just couldn’t make up his mind immediately, he took a minute to brood before forcing himself up despite the seemingly irresistible temptation to go back to sleep, slipping his bathroom slippers. He slowly made his way to his bath room to perform his ablution, while he performed this task, his mind drifted back to the events of the previous day. A little smile permitted his lips as he remembered how she had barged in to the conference room, in was both interesting and surprising to finally have a glimpse of the infamous Farisha Shehu, his boss’s daughter, he had watched in utter surprise as she had reduced the great Alhaji Shehu into a weak confused man wit
