" Hajiya we're here. But it seems like the gate is closed and there is no one by the gate. I've honked at the gate twice yet no response. " Hajjo's driver says breaking her out of her train of thoughts. She has been wondering why Halima hasn't called her for the past two days. It's not like her at all. She always calls her everyday, no matter how late or early. And to make matters worse, Hajjo has called Halima's phone which has been ringing without response, Sa'eed's is switched off.

" Ask one of the kiosks around if they know about their whereabouts. " Hajjo says absentmindedly. She's tired, she just came back from Bulgaria where she planned a get together for an affluent business man only to be met with the news of her best friend being hospitalized, and now this.

The driver walks out and comes back minutes later.

"What did they say?"

" One man said he's never seen them come outside except when a

    Audu walks in and goes over to Halima who is sitting on the bed with a far away look in her eyes. He caresses her cheeks making all her worries fade away. She hugs him and let it all out, soaking his track suit." Subhanallah! Leema baby why are you crying?" Audu shrieks worriedly." Daddy, how I've missed you. Please take me with you." Halima sniffs making Audu chuckle."Leema baby you're married now so even if I wanted to take you with me I can't. It's just one month after your marriage fah." Audu chuckles."Daddy please, I don't want to be married to him again." Halima cries." Halima stop being a big baby Dan Allah. You're married now." Hajjo says sitting beside her daughter and husband."Mummy." Halima hugs her mother, how she misses her parents."Halima how are you?" Hajjo asks soothingly.

    "Halima Audu Kalshingi never talk while your parents are talking!" Hajjo says angrily. They've been on the same thing for over an hour."Haba mummy, how do you just expect me to just forgive him like that?" Halima says exasperated."Leema baby, let me ask you a question, if you were to see Sa'eed in your room kissing a girl, what would you do?" Audu finally talks. Throughout the past hour, he hasn't said a thing."Daddy that won't ever happen. If it does, I'll never forgive him." Halima says picturing one thousand and one ways to kill the girl, then Sa'eed."Exactly Halima. Now, I'm not asking you, I'm telling you. Sa'eed will be here in a few minutes, if you don't forgive him, consider yourself an orphan." Audu says walking out."Do this for yourself and your marriage Halima, it's for your own good. You can't leave your husband's home one month afte

    "No matter the circumstances, never raise your voice at your husband."Halima remembers her mother's statement and closes her eyes willing herself to calm down. She slowly unclenches her fists and opens her eyes then puts on a sweet smile on her face."Sweetheart I'm sorry, i didn't mean to raise my voice at you." Halima apologizes going over to hold Sa'eed's hand."It's okay, i expected a worse reaction from you. Anyways, please don't speak, i need you to listen to me quietly." Halima nods, gulping. The way Sa'eed is speaking is giving her bad goosebumps. She feels as if something is about to go horribly wrong, or maybe it's just the medications."Aleesha's parents threw her out." Sa'eed pauses, waiting for a reaction from Halima. When she doesn't give any, he continues."Her friend, I'm sure you've heard of her, Humylash, the famous chef and blogge

    "Let them be replaced the moment he complains to Aleesha about the smell." Malam mai yanka dismisses Lash and she messages Aleesha telling her to meet her at the back of Sa'eed's house.************"Habeebtee, did you change your perfume?" Sa'eed asks scrunching his nose at the smell emanating from Halima, she smells like the toad that he saw in the biology lab when it had started decaying."No, why?" Halima turns to face him on the bed making a bile rise up to his throat, he feels like throwing up because of that smell. What's happening?"Nothing, have you taken your evening bath?" Halima nods yes and he shakes his head, wondering why his wife smells like dead rat.Alesha being the devil's incarnate she is, has been listening to their conversation all along. She smiles, now it's time for step two.She walks out and checks the time, t

    Halima makes her way inside the house, walking with what can be recognized as power, radiance and also.....pride? Setting her feet in her room, she's met with the most agonizing sight she has ever seen in all of her twenty four years of life.Aleesha is leaning on Sa'eed's shoulders laughing at a ridiculous picture of Cardi B that has been leaked. Probably just the normal photoshops jobless Nigerians engage in, nothing new or baffling there.Wanting to show of her new found confidence, Halima takes small lady like steps towards Sa'eed and pecks him on the cheek. The smell is still there but it isn't as strong as it was in the morning, Sa'eed muses. It's already quarter past six, where has Halima been?"Hey, weren't you taught not to enter a woman's matrimonial room without her permission or are you simply deranged?" Halima snaps at Aleesha.Aleesha gulps at the way Halima is l

    She turns around and gives a smile which is returned. They exchange pleasantries and he leads her inside. The place is a little dark as the sun has already set."So why did you request that we meet?" Lash goes straight to the point. She doesn't want him to think she likes him - which she obviously does."I just want to know you more. I know a lot of things about you but i need to confirm some from you. Kinsan ance dadin kida a jita a bakin mai shi {you know it's said that a sweet song is better heard from the mouth of the owner}." Lash smiles."What and what have you been able to find out?""Well, I've found out that your name is Aisha Humaira, I'm surprised to know that you have never been seen using a surname. Mind if I ask why?" Lash trembles. This is one of the reasons she doesn't entertain men, they like to bite more than they can chew." I'm an

    Aleesha drives angrily to Lash's house, muttering incoherent, desultory nonsense under her breath."How dare he?! Sending me out of his house in the dead of the night because he wants to celebrate his wife's birthday in 'private'. He even has the audacity to give me money to stay in a hotel." She hisses.Parking her car in front of Lash's house, she slams the door to her Lamborghini which echoes through the night. She stomps her way inside to the gate only to be stopped by the gateman."Name please." Aleesha eyes him.Like the fvck is wrong with this guy?

    Verily, whatever has a beginning, must have an end. ~Meemxy Two days later... "Sa'eed, if Halima doesn't wake up before Wednesday, then you're marriage is automatically severed. Even if she does, unless she says she's willing to stay with you, it's a lost cause." This has been turning itself in Sa'eed's head since on Saturday - the day Halima put to birth, and today is Tuesday. Meaning that, in less than twenty four hours, Sa'eed's marriage with Halima will be severed automatically and Halima will become a divorcee. Neither the baby nor Halima are in any good condition. Halima slipped into comma the moment she gave birth while the baby, being born premature at eight months, is at the Special Baby Care unit (SCBU) and on life support. She can give up the ghost anytime though she has started opening her eyes from time to time.

    It's been sixty eight days since the divorce. Halima has been counting and so far, she can't wait to finish the ninety days of torture.She was very foolish to think they could work out again, to think she was thinking of going back to withdraw the divorce issue, what a whimsy thought!One week after they got back, Halima had thought about it, this divorce shouldn't have happened. But it has happened and she is the only one that can change it. She went to Sa'eed - since they aren't living in the same rooms - only to hear the conversation that changed her mind.Halima walks through the corridor, determined steps are what she takes.

    "Daddy, Abba, please talk to Mummy. Wallahi I don't want to go back to that house, please." Halima is full verge on crying. The two men turn their faces to the side, showing Halima their napes. Their wives have told them to stay out of it and from the way they said it, they know there's more to it so they have to stay out. Halima wails and turns on her knees to Hajjo and Innayo."Ammi please help me. I will die if i go back there. You've always told me you love me, please show me that love now." Halima holds unto Innayo's skirt and sorrowfully, she turns away from Halima. She knows about Halima's pregnancy and she'd be damned if she's the reason why her grandchild doesn't get to experience the love of both of his or her parents. Even if Halima and Sa'eed won't reconcile, they should attempt to, so that whatever happens with the child in the future, would be both their faults alone and no one else's. Having no other choice, Halima turns to her mother.

She attempts to raise her hand and remove the cup like thingy, but she can't. She doesn't know why but she just can't.Finally gathering enough energy, she raises her hand as high as she can, only for it to go limp and fall on the bedside cabinet, slapping a cup down and waking up the other occupants of the room.Amal who's the swiftest of them all rushes to Innayo' s side and holds the hand she's still attempting to raise.
