2 days later....
"Daddy Abba is not picking up the call." Maryam said with her red puffy eyes. Since when she was told she lost her child part of her was happy and the other part was a bit angry at herself. If she hadn't tried to kill herself she will still have her child. But when she was told she can't conceive again she cried day and night and refused to talk to anyone or eat. Today was the day she was discharged so her Dad told her about his decision.
"Call him again and if he did not pick we have no chance but to go to their house." Her Dad said. Maryam just sat there looking at the floor.
"What are you waiting for I said call him!" Her Dad bellowed. She squirmed and quickly dialed his number.
"Haba Alhaji no need to be harsh. Take it easy with her she's the only o..." Her Mom stated.
"Would you keep quiet. Everything she's the on

Switch it off right now!" I yelled for the umpteenth time again glaring at her. And instead of switching it off she increased the volume."We aint never getting older!" She singed loudly shaking her booty. Aisha just came out from the shower looking at the crazy girl in disbelief. She should be thankful our room is not that close to the boy's own.Frustrated, I went into the bathroom slamming the door shut! I stripped my clothes off

They both sat in an awkward and uncomfortable silence both clouded with their own thoughts. He cleared his throat and began."Are you sure this will work out?" For the first time she looked at him and a wave of anger and hatred washed over her. It was all his fault!"I don't know either." She said coldly looking at him straight into the eye."Look Maryam. I'm trying to help us pass into this phase and it's like you're not going to help me. Us. Please I accept that it was my fault and am sorry what else do you want? I love you and will always will.""I don't love you." She snapped at him and stood up, pointing an accusing finger at him. "I won't marry you. I'd rather die than marry you. My life was going on just perfectly but you ruined it. How do you expect me to love you when you're the reason im barren? How do you expect me to love you when you made me do things I regretted?

Zainab's pov I've never felt this angry in my whole life. I never knew they could stoop this low but well I'll just show them how angry I am. I stormed towards them the moment I stepped a foot out of the elevator. I didn't notice when Ismail sped off in his car."Good job you guys. You actually think this will work out well bravo to you cus it didn't. Accolades to you both. He totally deserved the slap I've given him.""Innalillahi what have you done Zainab." Jamila said and started dialing his number."He cut it off." She said bewildered."I appreciate it so much guys for wasting your time on something you your self know it won't work out. We are not meant to be and we will never be.""Zainab you're nuts. You have to learn how to forgive and forget. Everyone deserves a second chance so why not offer the chance to him?" Aisha

Zainab's pov I face timed Deeja the moment I returned back to the hotel and took her on a tour round the house. Abdullah swore that he saw the Eiffel tower when I went to the living which if you could remember, the walls were made out of glass. So we spent the rest of the night trying to spot the "Eiffel tower" which was just a waste of time cus we didn't see it. They asked where Jamila and Aisha were which I obviously have to lie. I traveled to my dreamland immediately I switched my phone off. ***"Princess." I heard someone saying whilst shaking me and I shivered due to the air conditioner and wrapped the duvet round me. "Princess wake up or I will pour cold water on you." He yanked the duvet again and I wrapped myself with it again hoping I will continue with my dream. But the next thing I felt was the duvet been yanked again and a cold cold cold oh my God so cold water splashed on me

I'm really crazy.Wait what's he even doing here in Paris?"Zainab." He half smiled half smirked and I felt embarrassed checking his face out."Hu...hu...Hu..." I stuttered trying to get the words out."It's not Huzaifa." He chucked showing his 32. "It's Mu'allim not Huzaifa. Huzaifa is my older brother."I mentally scowled. I've been ranting their brother's name the whole time! Mstwww."Oh.

"You guys won't believe who I met at the park today." I sat down taking off my snickers and massaged my foot. "Who?" They both asked boredly. "It's a boy. The apple of my eyes, the only cockroach in my cupboard. He stole my heart in a heart beat. And I love him!" I dramatically clutched my chest and sighed dreamily. "You? In love with someone? The holy mighty Zainab that does not believe in true love?" Yaya Ameer snickered. "As I was saying..." I glared at him..."you guys even know him especially you Musty. You two are close. Very close." I stared deep into his eyes but I couldn't read them! "It was Mustapha that suggested that we shouldn't let you know cus..." Musty glared at him. "Oh I get it. You guys don't want me to be happy right? Or do you want me to die a spinster? Well..." I clapped my hands dramatically..."you're both wrong. I s

Mustapha narrowed his eyes at her. Never in his life has he ever thought that his ex-girlfriend would slap him. He couldn't assimilate the feeling.But deep down he knows he deserves that slap. He still loves her no matter how many times he had denied it, not even when he told her that he had already moved on. He feels a vulnerable feeling to see her or hear of her with somebody else. Not to talk of his own biological brother."I would repeat this for the last time. I. Will. Marry. Mu'allim. And that wouldn't be any of your business."Without waiting for his reply, she slammed the door shut at his face.She quickly dialed Zulaiha's number and she picked at the fourth ring."Gurl." Zulaiha said."Hi. I'm sorry if I'm bothering you but I am just really bored here so I thought if you're not busy you we could hang out at a certain place or somethi

They went for shopping and visited every angle in Paris. She also took some shots with Deeja's iPad. Now she's back to her country sweet country. Home sweet home She resisted the urge to kiss the ground when she was about to enter the car. The driver came to pick them both."Glad you're back huh?" Mu'allim questioned raising his eyebrows and she nodded her head whilst sniffing the air. "Well talk to you later. Reach home safely." He blew her a kiss and she caught placing it on her chest. "Ba ruwan mu da haters." She whispered to him and glared them. "Bye mi amor." She waved. "Bye tesoro." He waved too and closed the door

He woke up after sleeping for nearly an hour. It was time for Zuhr prayer already. "I'll be back my love." He whispered as he cupped her face and kissed her forehead delicately. He headed to the mosque and performed ablution before offering his prayer. He stayed back for some minutes to do some dkirs and nawaafils before going to the waiting room. He met Maama crying profusely whilst Maami tried to console her, tears brimming in her own eyes and he's heart skipped a beat. What had happened to his wife?"Maami what happened? Is Zainab okay?" Maami looked down, her lips trembling."Say something please." He urged. "I think you should go see the doctor Ismail." Maami finally said and he obliged. He dragged his heavy legs to the doctor's office and knocked on the door. He opened the door when he heard a "come in.""Mr Ismail." He offered his hand for a hanshake. "Please, take a seat." He gestured to the two chairs in front of his large oak desk. Ismail sat down and prepared himself for

Everything happens to us for a reason whether we are aware of it or not. We might think of many impossible ways to try and change it and make it 'unhappen' but well...we are not God. We can't turn back the hands of the clock.After the doctor informed them about the loss of Zainab's second child, she has been moved to a room in a female ward. Visitors were not allowed in yet. The doctor is running a test to ensure that she's safe and healthy without any complications. The doctor also explained her injuries. She had obtained a fractured rib, a broken leg and a concussion because her head had badly hit the steering wheel.The news has now spread like a wild fire. His wife was in an accident and she lost her second child. Ismail had to switch off his phone after answering eight calls. He went to the hospital mosque, where he offered two units of rakaats and vehemently prayed for his wife's health.Zainab would be beyo

It was a miracle that Ismail arrived at the hospital in one piece. All he kept hearing when he was driving like a mad person was "your wife just had an accident. Your wife just had an accident." His wife. His Zainab. Zainab!He quickly walked to the waiting room, just in time to see his in-laws waiting there already. He weakly exchanged pleasantries with them. His own parents and Afrah soon came after. Maheerah was clutching her grandmother's skirt, her eyes brimming with her tears. They all refused to answer her unending questions. Where is her mommy?"Ismail you're supposed to pray for her." Ameer said as he patted his shoulder. Ismail looked at him with bloodshot eyes. He wasn't even aware that he was crying. He sucked in a deep breath before facing his brother in-law."You don't understand how I'm feeling Ameer. She can't leave me. I need her. I need her more than ever. My life will have no meaning if she leave

"What? Innalillahi wainna ilaihi rajiun. Is she okay? Were you contacted?" She threw one question after another."I'm... driving. I'm on my way home." And he hang up. She squeezed her phone in her hand as she muttered several duas under her breath. What should she do? Should she just sit down and wait for his arrival? Should she tell someone? Who would she tell? Ya Allah! How did the day turn out from better to worse? After thirty minutes of pacing to and fro, the bedroom door creaked open, revealing a distraught Ismail. She immediately rushed to him."Ismail how did this happen? Who are the kidnappers? Did they contact you?"He sighed as he sat on an armchair, his hands holding his head."The kidnapper called me. He threatened that if we don't get her married to him in the next 48 hours he would do some unspeakable things to her. He's her ex. He's obsessed with her.""Ya salaam!

"Umm Maheerah." He attempted to help her but she held up her hand as she regained her balance. Stubborn tears stung her eyes but she pushed them back, biting unto her lower lip as it quivers."So now I'm Umm Maheerah huh?" She taunts and he looked at her amusedly and she seethed. Does all these sound like a joke to him or something? Well, he must be deranged!"So enlighten me dear husband. When did you plan on telling me about the new love of your life. Just some hours ago we both exchanged 'I love yous' and now you're doing the same with someone else? This is unbelievable!""Amor you need to calm down. Just let me ...""Don't call me amor anymore and don't you dare tell me to calm down. I don't deserve that title cus it's already reserved for someone else right? I can't believe you Ismail! I really can't. After all those years, after everything we have been through. After all the ups and downs. Afte

"Mommy!" A four year old girl barged into a room, her pigtails bouncing up and down."Maheerah, what did I tell you about barging into our room?" Zainab scolded."Mommy am shorry. It's Uncle Abdullah. He refushed to let me watch SpongeBob!"Ismail walked over to Maheerah and scooped her into his arms placing her on his shoulders as she giggled."How about we go out for some ice cream?" He said and she nodded giggling more.He dropped her down and she ran out of the room with full vigour."Maheerah be careful!" Zainab called out."She would be fine." Ismail assured her as he sat behind her snaking his arms round her waist and she shivered.After all those years he still has an effect on her."You've spoiled this girl rotten!" She said rolling her eyes."And she's still my

"Zainab!" Ismail roared and she stiffled a laugh as she sprayed her perfume. She smoothed out the non existent wrinkles on her black and white maxi dress and rushed out banging the door behind her."Zainab! I'm going!" Ismail hollered again. He was standing impatiently in the sitting room playfully glaring at her as she ran down the stairs."I thought you were going to take forever up there." He said. "And you look beautiful.""Hmm you don't look bad yourself." He was dressed in a plain white shirt that hugged his abs and designer jeans with a jacket."Don't you mean I look hot and irr...""Okay let's go or else we will lose our flight.""If you say so then.""Are you ready wife?" He asked."Uh-uh.""Let's get going then." He said as he took her hands in his.
BETRAYED CHAPTER THIRTY FOUR
Zainab woke up and felt two strong arms holding her. That was when she remembered that she slept in Ismail's room. Together. In the same bed. She has the strong urge to pee but she just couldn't get up as she was afraid that she will wake Ismail too. She can hold it for a little while.She stared at his face and wondered how someone can look so gorgeous while sleeping, without even trying. And let's not get started with his hair. She wondered whether his a half cast and didn't tell her, because there's no way a Nigerian man can have such a glistening and curly hair that always fall over his eyes, casting a dark shadow on his face.And then she gently touched his hair, her eyes never leaving his face. To think that she had hated this man? Who was she kidding. She blushed when she recalled last night's events...Tears brimmed at the corner of her eyes as he uttered those last words. Was this really Ismail?&nb

"I'm busy Zainab. Go and sleep." Ismail said, massaging his temple, not even sparing her a glance. "I know you aren't busy. Please. Can I come in? I know that what I did was not right but please." She pleaded. He sighed and muttered come in. Seconds later she was in front of him, staring at him as she took a deep breath. "I'm sorry." She said. He didn't spare her a glance so she continued. "I...I was in the wrong too and...and am tired of hiding my feelings for you anymore. I love you Ismail. I'm so sorry." She sniffed and blinked back the tears that threatened to spill out. And her words totally took him off guard. He stared at her as she lowered her head. "Come here." He motioned to her to come closer and she did, sitting beside him. She stared at him for a while before she placed her forehead on his chest, trying to push back her tea
