Zayn and Nana are sitting on the couch, watching the Bollywood film 'Manikarnika'. She has her hand in the huge bowl of popcorn and her other hand wrapped around Zayn's torso. He will kiss her forehead once in a while before they continue to watch and comment here and there. Amidst watching the movie, Zayn's phone rang on the couch next to Nana. She peeked her head to see who is calling but then met a heartbreak for Hidaya's name was blinking and her appetite just vanished.

She threw the phone at him and stood up. She bit her lip for mistakingly throwing it because she was blinded with jealousy but brush it off and walk to the kitchen to do only god knows what. After looking around the kitchen for the nth time, she finally settle on taking frozen yoghurt but still didn't get back her appetite which frustrates her to no end. 

What frustrates her more is that Zayn is still talking to Hidaya on phone and didn't bother checking on her. What is so important that

    Nana shuffled on her feet not knowing what to do. Trapped in a situation where she's never been in, she only stared at Hidaya as she walked in and stand next to her. She wants to slap Hidaya again, yell at her and demand why she called her husband yesterday in the middle of their movie night but she didn't."Hello." Hidaya hesitantly whispered from beside her, also looking very uncomfortable about the whole scenario."Assalamu Alaikum." Nana almost rolled her eyes, seeing how ridiculous she's feeling. Why was she nervous and uncomfortable in the first place?"Look, I'm sorry about whatever happened between us. I really don't know what came over me, but I swear I'm not in between you two. I'll never come in between you two ever again! I called him yesterday to talk about some things so that I can clear everything between us. I'm very sorry if it caused any inconvenience between you two." Hidaya was rambling from what

    Nana drop her phone on the bed and went to take a relaxing shower before Zayn comes back. He'll be there in thirty minutes and she should be done by then insha'Allah. She remove her sweats and turn on the shower, taking a long bath whilst thinking about Mu'ayyad's words. He loved her since the first time he bumped into her? That is very new and it is making her uncomfortable but she'd still feel tingles after hearing those words, in this case, seeing those words written broadly on her phone screen.She stopped thinking when she heard the door to their opening, that means Zayn is back. She shut off the shower and wrap a fluffy red towel around her and one on her head before walking out of the ensuite. She saw him looking at her phone, she closed her eyes and pray, hoping that he'll not mistakenly bump into her chat with his cousin, that would cause a huge scene and fight which she is never looking forward to."Mami?" He called her name, bro

    NOT EDITED."Ahh..." Nana clenched her teeth as she held her head tightly, wanting the voices and images to leave her head but they ain't leaving and her head started to ache really badly which made her shout and got Zayn's attention as he finished settling Khumais in his bed."What's wrong, mami?" He yelled, running to her rescue as she's about to hit her head on the head on the island. He left her perfectly okay as she insist on finishing the food only to be back because of her cry of anguish which tugged at his heart."The im-imag-es.." She manage to sputter as he took her bridal style to the couch. He stilled and tended when she said the images, it's time for everything to come to an end then."What about it?" He curiously asked, even though he knew what is happening, he wants to be hundred percent sure she's regained everything before calling his mother in-law for help. He can'

    Two years ago.Nana and her mother went to her mother's homeland for the first time. It was also the first time she knew about them having a family in the village of Zaria. They went to Kwarbai to greet her mother's parents siblings since her parents are dead and it has been long since she last visited. She heard them mocking her that because she became rich, she stopped coming to visit them so she asked Nana to get dressed that they're going to Zaria and will be back the same day so Nana got dressed in simple ankara flay gown.Now that they're standing by the door to the house, Nana wished she was anywhere but there. She could already feel chills running down her spine because she's having a bad feeling about the whole ordeal. Just looking at the door makes her want to run back to the confines of her room and lock herself up. Something bad is going to happen and she can't st

    "Alhamdulillah! She's carrying Isuhu's child. Treat her like a queen for she has what we always wanted in her womb." The woman who is Isuhu's mother as Nana came to know announced to the people standing there.She checked her eyes and her palm, a smile playing in her lips and Nana could swear on her life that that was the first time she saw her smiling ever since she settled her feet in the house. She doesn't know whether she should be relieved about been treated like an egg or angry for getting pregnant for that cruel man. She hates him so much that it hurt beyond words and tears. She is tired of balling her eyes at the corner after praying because no one visited her among her family and she felt abandoned and lonely.Isuhu collected her phone on their first night and went to sell it saying she doesn't need a phone. Nana was furious but didn't oppose, he has every right. I

At first, they are treating her like and egg but now, they could careless about what she's carrying, they have enough children around the house to care about her own. Today, they asked her to take a bucket and fetch water at the neighbourhood where some men that serve their NYSC in Zaria live. The men alone have borehole because all around the place, it's only their home that have light, borehole and it's the finest house all around.Nana sobbed as she walk to the house, covering her face with hijab as she hold her hand possessively around her baby bulb which was obvious even with the hijab. The pregnancy has changed her, big nose, puffier cheeks, more plump lips. She added a little weight around her burst and hips but she's still the same woman, if only her eyes didn't deepen into slits because of the weight

    Not edited.Nana curled herself up in a ball and cried her eyes out when Isuhu raped her just a few minutes ago before going out of the room and to his gambling and smoking place. He is using the money her parents are sending to her since he has her credit card with him. He gets any amount he wants and go to the gambling place where everyone around the street will see him and some will even curse him because the name of his family is a big one. Everyone around Zaria knew the name since their great grandfather was once a King in Zaria. The Magama's family was once a name to be proud of but not anymore.The women in the family changed the whole house since they are no other males in the house and Isuhu is the oldest. When the oldest is as useless as an unborn baby, there is nothing important that could come out of it. He'd gamble, smoke and then come back to rape his wi

    Nana was silently sitting on a rock in front of her room when Maajida, or Jumaimah rushed to her and sat down, breathing in deeply before she opened her mouth to talk. She stopped again to take a deep breath then opened her mouth, Nana couldn't quite catch what she's saying since she was talking very fast so she stopped her and asked her to take another breath, she did as she was told before started talking."You're going to the city with Isuhu, tomorrow." She told her in harsh breaths, because she heard Baba Larai telling him to take her there so they could come back with more city food."Why? I'm heavily pregnant and it's not like we have any car!" Nana look down at her big belly, looking like the thing inside will pop out any second and she's almost nine months, just a day."Baba Larai wants

Today, she's planned something for them but she already knew that Zayn will hate it and might even reject it but he has no choice. After doing the dishes, she called Maaysa and ask her whether she could look after Khumais for her for some hours. She told her that there is no problem and she will come and pick him."Cherub, we should go to the market today, what do you think?" She sat herself down on his laps, drawing her hands all around his face in a seductive way."Market? Me? No." He blatantly disagreed, looking at her like she grew a another head by the side."Are you saying no to me?" She raised a brow, distangling herself from him to which he protested with a groan and frown. Why is she been so difficult and crazy?"Why should I go

The Borkan mansion's light is brought back but not like before, they are slowly trying to bring back the happiness that was there before because that is what Naazwa would've want them to have if she was there and alive.Nana, Maaysa and Rukayyah remembered that they need to do something to bring smiles and happiness in the mansion so they formed a small dinner for everyone in the compound. They invited everyone and set a dining room out in the backyard with mats and lights. They cooked a lot of food and even give some to the beggars in the evening and ask them to pray for Naazwa's light in the grave. The beggars were very happy and rain prayers to Naazwa making everyone happy at their thoughtful idea.Zayn's parents, Mu'ayyads parents, Nana's parents, Jumaimah, Maaysa, Rukayyah, Kadira

Everyone is grieving with either puffy or red eyes. Nana cried her eyes out the whole day with Maaysa and Kaadira. They couldn't stay in the same room as the people passing condolence for their own tears will bring tears to the other peoples' eyes even if they don't want to. Kaadira locked her children with their maid with Mudassir also with them since he didn't know what was happening.No one even thought about him. He wouldn't understand but everyone knew that Hajiya Rehma is going to take Mudassir and bring him up herself, she will want Naazwa's flesh with her. That wasn't talked about but after three days, everyone has to come out of his and her shell and move on to what's ahead, life won't be stopped just because of someone's death, the

    "You think so?" Jumaimah asked, tilting her head to the side as she touched the texture of the hijab she is holding."I know so." Mu'ayyad grinned and continue to remove stacks of hijab from the vendor.She was silently sitting in her room when he called her and ask her for a stroll which she gladly accepted. While walking around the streets, they saw a middle aged man walking with rows of hijab in a hanger and Mu'ayyad stooped them saying the mint green one will look beautiful on her and that is how she find herself changing from this colour to that colour while the man only stared at them happily thinking the will buy a lot and they did.At the end of it, they took five hijabs and added tip to the man who kept raining prayers and praises on them because he will no longer hawk for the day and will take the money to his family so they could eat.

    Maaysa didn't like how her plan is trying to fail so she left the cafe and stood outside Hidaya's car then called her to come outside that she didn't lock her car. Hidaya grumbled and kept her meat pie before adjusting her heels and left the cafe to where Maaysa is. She opened her car and find it locked so Maaysa tricked her into this right? But for what?Maaysa knew Hidaya would come out if she is told that her car has problem because it has happened to her once. She left her car opened and the next thing she knew is that it disappeared so she stopped leaving chances for that and especially not to her favorite new car."Assalamu alaikum." She heard a masculine voice from behind her making her jump on her feet and would've being lying flat on the floor if not for the strangers hands around her shoulder. "I'm sorry I frighten you."

He woke up and started making a fuse so she has to make some for him."Yes, great idea. Hidaya can at least cool off some steam, right Hids?" Rukayyah laughed when Hidaya grunted into the phone.She saw Jumaimah with Mu'ayyad more than three timed and when she asked him if he likes her, he agreed and said he might even love her. He doesn't have any chance with Nana so why not have the other Nana, he's liked them both since then so he will just hit his drum.
