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.

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?

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.

***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

Mum was her first patient after her honeymoon.Hajia Zainab was still on a bed receiving a drip as they treated her wounds. Her psychiatrist proposed they sign her up for a psychiatric evaluation.Dad explained all what happened. It was evidently clear that two things made her go nuts. Either the gunshot or her missing daughter.They moved her into a solitary room in the psychiatric ward immediately. She needed to consult her that day.***After the check up, I went through series of

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!'

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.***

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.
