Chapter 21 Yusuf  It was the fifteenth day at the hospital, she regained consciousness yesterday after losing her coma. The doctor had said, her brain and body had shut down due to the abuse, so they should be wishing for Allah's shifa and miracle. Zaid was shot by Khaleed that was what they thought because Khaleed had escaped in the blink of an eye and others had been arrested. It was Zaid that shot Sophia because he saw it with his own eyes.  Something was still baffled by Yusuf or wondered if before Zaid's death ,he had willed all his properties for Sophia. Crazy! That man was a psychopath.  The doctor said Yusuf should search for a therapist for Sophia, because of the terror and trauma. Whenever she woke up, she looked fearful, afraid and nervous. Whenever he tried

Chapter 23 Sofia I was currently in pure bliss, cloud nine, smiling cheekily, happy because we did the deed the previous night. There was nothing more blessed than a couple to copulate their marriage.  The aftermath, I was sore. I meant I couldn't walk properly. It was painful, pleasurable and was enjoyable. It was bitter sweet. He carried me to the bathroom and bathed for me like a baby. We cuddled and I slept like I'd never, waking up from my long nap, I felt a gentle hand touching me, urging me to wake up. I woke up and saw it was Yusuf; waking me to eat . He was so handsome and sexy.  All mine.  I was shy with all the scars on my body but he kissed all and told me I was beautiful and didn't change his love for me. It mended my soul and h

Epilogue 1  Sofia Ya Allah! Why me? He left me, when he promised to stay forever.  I cried as I shouted my vocal out. It couldn't be, he could never leave me.  He promised and he had broken his promise.  No one could fill the void of my husband.  I wouldn't be able to hear his laughter, his voice.  He was my rock.  He left me alone.  Everything was numbed, I didn't feel anything, it was like a part of me was dead with him. I was losing myself to the abyss of darkness, I was wallowing to the darkest part of me.  But where you now?, I whispered to no one as I stared at the gloomy sky which matched my feelings.  It had been 2months since he

 BK 2 Chapter 1 Sofia "Sofia, please just eat a little out of your food" mama was trying to persuade me to have something, since I'd been discharged. I'd not taken anything since and it had been one week. I'd fallen into a state of unconsciousness for four days after his death was announced. I still couldn't believe it because it felt like a nightmare to me.  "Please omo mi* take something, if not for me but for your baby" mama pleaded me with her eyes.*(my child).  When the doctor declared that Yusuf was dead, I went into a shocked state before I was retrieved by Allah's grace. But till now my brain couldn't comprehend it. Was it true or not. I was still confused. I just dreamt of it, did it mean my dream came true?.  No, not that type of dream come true. I shook my head in denial.  "Mama, is that how people die" I whispered

BK 2 chapter 3   "Come back here" I yelled after my three years old boy who was running butt-naked around while giggling.  This was what I used to face every day. He didn't like bathing or showering generally.  Always running around when it was time for bathing. I groaned internally, massaging my temple tiredly.  This boy would be the cause of my death. Always giving me exercises to do early in the morning.  "No momma catch me" he grinned cheekily, showing his white pearls of milk teeth before sticking out his tongue.  Oh my goodness, this boy is mischievous. I groaned.  He is more energetic than me, I face-palmmed myself.  "Come here" I ordered softly but he shrugged his shoulder a little, scrunching up his nose.  "Catch me momma"
