Standing by the side of the road, still puzzled about everything. A keke napep (tricycle) stopped in front of me as Adunni came out.
"OMG Aisha!" Dunni threw a hug on me.
"It's been a while. Are you traveling?"
"No, I'm not oo. You didn't even visit me in the hospital. Its not fair.. I actually waited for you
"Really? Pardon me my friend. My mum sent to Agege to stay with her sister that just gave birth to a set of twins. Well, I spent only five days there and I wanted to visit you but... "
"Hmmm, Dun-ni.... As in?" I joked as we laughed away.
"I heard about the incident from my mum and other colleagues. Is it true? Tell me, what happened?!"
"Yes, My friend... I don't even know what to tell you now. I was asked to leave the house. Dad said I should leave his house if I can't abort the baby."
"What?! Tell me it's a lie. Daddy can't do that, you're his daughter! Where on earth did he expect you to stay?!"
"He did oo... My mum's brother resides in Kano, And we don't have any relative around. I just need a place to rest my head for a moment, I'm so confused. Asking in my soul for direction, It's good I met you today."
"Don't be so emotional now, dearie. I believe you and I believe in you. Have faith that everything would be okay. Have you eaten? Pass the night with me and lets talk better." Dunni proposed.
The words her mum told me started playing in my head, I can't even face her again.
"No...no o, I'm totally cool Dunni. I think my dad would still let me in. I have a feeling to go home, he might just welcome me." I faked a big, bright smile that actually seemed awkward.
"I'll see you later, dunni. Bye-bye!" About to leave, dunni held my hand back.
"Wait! Are you going to treck?" She quirked her eyebrow in a funny way.
"Errrm... I ca-can manage, I'll be fine." I laughed even harder.
"Aisha, Why are you like this? What are sisters for if you're not even free around me. I know there's a lot we need to talk about right now, but..." She paused for a while and let out an heavy breath.
"Come on, lets go." She interlocked my arm with hers and stopped a keke napep (tricycle). We both entered and zoomed off the busy street.
I couldn't believe my eyes when I approached the gate to my dad's house.
Hajiya Mariam Ikudaisi, my mum's school daughter then in grammar school. She's also a representative in Abuja, working in National Aseembly.
Hajia mariam has been married for 12 years now, She's barren.
When we came down from the tricycle, I saw her standing with Danlamin.
"Hajia Mariam!" I called out and gave her a hug Assalam 'Alaikum ma, when did you come?!"
"Wa 'alaikum sallam, Sisi mi!! How have you been? Alhamdulillah... Thank God I found you. Danlamin was just about telling me what happened..." She cuppped my face in her soft hands.

"You would have followed me home and you wouldn't have to leave like this. I guess this is a good bye for both of us..." Dunni muttered sadly."I'll miss you, Dunni." I held her hands tight and broke into tears again."God knows I'll miss you more. Try to call me, Aisha. Keep me posted and try to visit whenever you can, okay?""Okay, I sure will. Bye for now, sis.""Okay bye!!!"Adunni stopped a keke napep and zoomed off the empty road. I recited a prayer in my heart as we moved. It was the first time, leaving my family behind like this."Awunaka Yaa Hannan, Awunaka Yaa Sultaan : I solicit Your help, The most Compassionate, I solicit Y

Months Later...Hajia and I walked into the city's general hospital. We entered one doctor's office and as it is, Hajia Maryam regularly visits the general hospital."Assalam 'Alaikum." Hajia greeted as she knocked the door."Amin Alaikum Sallam.

Mum stared at me in amazement.Doctor Abdullah asked."Have you ever aborted?"My heart suddenly sank to his titanic question, leaving about a million thoughts in my head."Never!" I replied coldly."Then it should be how you are born. You were born with a perforated womb."'How possible?' I smirked for a while, everything seem confusion and is still confusing to me."I'll advice you really have to reduce stress. Once you hit 7 months, you'll have to come for check-up in the hospital.""What?! But why?" Mum cuts in. Her eyes requesting immediate answers.

Just then, Imam Hussain walked in. Ibrahim rushed to him as he didn't want to spill the bean with his own mouth either. The expression on his sweaty face was like 'It was all dad's fault.'"Honey. Òkòò mi,Òlòwò òrì mi! È káábò..." She threw her hands around him and held him tightly. Ibrahim ran back, watching them both as if he wasn't."Where's Aisha? It's been 3 weeks since I got dischaged and I've not set my eyes on her? Neither have I heard from her as well. What's going on? Please, talk to me."Imam Hussain looked dumpfounded as he was totally speechless."Errrr..... Aisha is fine." He started thinking of words to calm her down. He didn't want to lie or cause any m

She clinged to my hand all through and persuaded to drop me off. I opposed but she insisted.We went to where she parked her car and she put all the baggage into the boot. It was a white model 6, Lexus jeep. She said her dad presented it to her last year, on her sweet-sixteenth birthday. I wanted a lab-coat for my 16th birthday; but my dad bought me a wrist-watch instead.I only heard her parents were filthy rich. As she was born and brought up in South Africa. Her dad own hospitals in various places, in and out of the country while her mum is a senior advocate in the University of Abuja."I so admire you, Aisha.

***12: 00 p.m.It's been six hours now and the rain just stopped. I sat on a piece of stone, gazing at the hot, shinny ball rising in the blue sky. How I wish the sun would understand my feelings, heal my wounds or perhaps, send Mrs. Akerele to open the gates.I was still outside, knocking. Why is Hajia Maryam doing this to me? She picked me from my fathers house and promised to be my guide and support. Why did she lock me outside in this condition? Where exactly did I go wrong? Is it so wrong to raise my children as my own?I couldn't stop myself from crying as I thought of these. I kept hitting the gate with a pebble. I knocked louder and louder again, till I got tired. Nobody helped me and I had nowhere to go. I had no other option than to w

***"Okay. So, when I got there, she said she was tired of staying indoor all day. You know, deens has no one here and she's always busy on her phone so I suggested we take a stroll outside the hotel. That was when she started.""She started what?""She psyche up when I told her I can't hold hands with her in public. She thought I had someone else and got pissed up for no reason.""That your girl sef! Her own too much.""Yeah. So, I bought a rose with a ring in it.

***They jerked to its vibration. Zayd's heart felt as if it suddenly dropped as he picked his phone. It was Zaytoon."Excuse me please," He told Madinah and picked the call, taking few steps away from her."It's almost dark, aren't you coming home?!" I started."I'll be on my way dummy! Hajia, You can't even salama!" He replied and hissed at the same time I did. "Don't bother making dinner for me, okay?""Whatever Mr. Lover-boy! As if I care!" I finally cut the call.After the call, an awkward silence remained between them. Zayd remembered what he was doing before the call.'How stupid could I be!' He smirked, nibbling his lower lip, anxiously."So you're no longer angry at me, are you?"Zayd broke the face-stuffing silence that was killing them both."Not at all..." A s

It was a cool afternoon. One of those days that early afternoons would grow enough to look like late evenings -The time when one could mistake Thursday to be a Saturday...Madinah and Zayd decided to go for a simple stroll outside the hotel, under the warm sun, side by side, the way lovers usually do. The yellow sun hide under the thick clouds as if it was shy about their little romance. Of course, there's nothing as beautiful as roaming the streets of Lagos with someone you truly love so much... You'll end up rather impressed than disappointed.Madinah wore a tight black leggings and a long, purple, indian-gown with a black pashmina that fits her well. She hanged her long-armed, purple purse and wore a shiny, black sneakers to match the outfit. Zayd on his own was wearing a casual, white polo shirt and a black jean. This outing was what Madinah needs at least, to Zayd. He stared at her from time to time, admiring how gorgeous she looked even withou

Well, You can now see him.""Thank you doctor. I'm so grateful Zayd is alive!" She smiled."Thank God. We'll be discharging him later in the evening because he needs a lot of rest." He said and left for his office while Madinah went to Zayd's word.Zayd was sleeping when she entered and bandaged at the side of his back. A short nurse that was giving him a drip signalled her to sit and quietly left.Madinah sat on a red plastic chair facing where Zayd was lying. She stared at his weak face and held his hands tenderly.Tears gathered her eyes at she watched him breath slowly. It's all my fault. It's my fault you have you go through these. She weep silently.***

A Month later...I was watching an interview of the president Muhammadu Buhari on National Television Authority (NTA). It was an interesting Saturday program that I really loved. Grandmother was in her room having her usual afternoon nap when Zayd ran out of his room. I came rushing out after him with great enthusiasm."Zayd! What happened?! Any problem?!""No o, not at all." He said sweating pefusely.Tears gathered in his eyes and he was rubbing his head confusedly. It's so strange of him, I couldn't figure it out."But why are you acting this way?""I had a nightmare! I'm scared, Zay! Dynah was going to die. I felt her breath slowly leaving her body, it was so real...""Calm down Zayd. Why are you acting like a baby.

"May I have your order, please?" The waiter ordered."Shall we order?" Zayd asked her staring at her beautiful pearl-like face and doe-like eyes. It was as if he was having dinner with the moon."Yes, sure." She let out a soft smile, exposing her cute dimpled cheek.She collected the food menu from the waiter and ordered what she would like.Zayd couldn't help but to keep staring at her mesmerising beauty."What should I ask you first?" He smirked, still staring into her eyes. There is so much I'm curious about."Me too... It's nice seeing you, I was only 5 then... about 15 years now, right?""Yes... It is. What about studies?
