Amirah quickly removed her hand from AbdulRahman's grasp. Her heart rate increases and her stomach churned, the urge to throw up the chicken burger she'd so much enjoyed was becoming hard to resist.Abubakar's glare sent chills down her spine, he abruptly turned and walked out of the restaurant just as AbdulRahman had turned to see what she was looking at.
Her gaze followed Abubakar outside and to her greatest shock, Muhammad came out of the car, Abubakar said something to him and then he looked towards the restaurant, Amirah quickly ducked down even though the windows were tinted and he couldn't see her.Muhammad then nodded and entered the car back, Abubakar gave one last glance at the restaurant before entering the car also and they drove away.

•••• •••• •••• ••••Amirah wasn't at home or she was intentionally refusing to open up the gate so he got down and used his key to open it, Abubakar drove the key in and Muhammad locked up behind him."Where do you think your Amirah went to?"Abubakar asked teasingly, Muhammad chose to ignore him and went into the house. He knocked on the door to her room and when she didn't reply after few knocks, he poked his head into her room and called out,"Amirah?" There was no answer."Man she isn't at home, stop shouting." Abubakar said from the kitchen. Muhammad closed the door and went to meet him wondering where she could've gone to, to his best of knowledge, she didn't know anyone, she wasn't a social butterfly so she had no friends."I'm going to make noodles." Abubakar declared.

My brother raped me and you let him, that's what he did to me, that's what you both did to me."With that Amirah ended the call, switched off her phone and began sobbing. She was shaking as the tears poured down furiously.What did she do to deserve Hajiya as a mother? Such a callous person. Her mother was a beast, she's denied her mother's true nature for as long as she could but now it she couldn't anymore."You're just making a big deal out of something that happened years back, you and your stupid nightmares." Her mother's words echoed. She covered her ears with her hands to block out her voice but she could still hear them even louder,You and your stupid nightmar

Abubakar was long gone, Ummul Khair's was incessantly calling him, Amirah's phone was switched off and Muhammad was going crazy with worry.He finally picked Ummul Khair's call,"Assalamualaikum." He greeted curtly."You said you'll come. You promised!"He sighed wearily, "I'll come, just text me the address of where you are now.""Thank you." She ended the call and few minutes letter a message from her came in.He wore a black shirt over his sweatpants before picking up his car keys from his bedside and leaving the house.The drive was longer due to traffic. She didn't live that far from where the hospital they both worked at was located so he was a bit familiar with the environ

•••• •••• •••• ••••Seeing Amirah safely gladdened Muhammad more than he could imagine, he enveloped her in a hug that shocked them both.He pulled back and held her by the shoulder, "I was so worried when I came home and didn't see you."She looked different, sad. He watched her look around the compound before asking him, "have you been back home long?""No, no. I just got back. Where were you?"He saw something akin to relief cross her features, "I just went out for a stroll and got lost."He stared at her dubiously, "stroll? For how long?""Not long." She gave a small laugh, "didn't you just get back? I was out for two hours I think. What time did you get back?"He was still in shock, it took him awhile to answer her question, "I

•••• •••• •••• ••••Muhammad was elated. He decided he'll put the thought of where Amirah had been last night behind him. She had lied but for whatever reason he forgave her, she was obviously ready to give them a new chance.After all these months, five whole hellish months and In Sha Allah they'll soon be over it all. Nothing could dampen his excitement, not even the thought of seeing Ummul Khair plus he had some issues to settle with Abubakar, the idiot!He had a surgery scheduled for 8am so he got into his office and began to prepare, he changed into his scrubs before picking up the file of his patient and looking over it and that was when the door opened and Abubakar stepped in."Hey I wanted calling you last night but I slept off. Did you find your wife?" He asked teasingly and Muhammad gave him a glar

Muhammad asked turning on the bedside lamp and a dim yellow light illuminated the room.Amirah stared confusingly as if wondering what she was doing there."Amirah..." He called reaching out to touch her hand and she pulled away so fast he was startled."You're scaring me, what's wrong?"She shook her head still in a daze, "nightmares.""Oh, do you want to talk about it?""You can't handle it." She whispered under her breath."Go back to sleep Muhammad, I'll be in my room.""Are you sure? If you want to sleep in your room, I'll join you." His expression was that of worry but she tried not to look at him as she s

Amirah asked right after locking the gate behind her."You, that's what's wrong with me. Haven't you been seeing my calls?""I have and I didn't pic

•••• •••• •••• ••••Amirah sat on the floor and hugged her knee to her chest as tears ran down her cheeks, she didn't know what was wrong with her, she didn't know what made her speak to Muhammad in such manner and to think, she'd thought she was smart and had gotten away with her lies about where she'd been the day she'd gone out with AbdulRahman.Muhammad had known but he had let it slide but what about her? What'd she do? She'd confronted him about it like she was a saint herself meanwhile she was the hypocrite. To tell the truth, she'd been scared.Zulaihat had gotten out of the taxi just as AbdulRahman had given her a peck, she'd stood wide-eyed staring, AbdulRahman hadn't noticed her so he strolled to his car, got in and drove off just as another lady got out of the ta

Ya... Ya Adnan?" She asked stuttering, her eyes widened when from the moonlight illuminating the room, she noticed he was naked."sshhh..." He said quietly as his hand gently pulled her closer, she moved back from him, her heart beating fast."Wh... What are you doing?" She asked with a stutter. Amirah was sweating more now and she wanted this to be a bad dream, she also wanted to wake up from it already."Calm down, you'll enjoy it." His large palm grabbed her breast and she immediately pulled away with such force, it shocked them both.Adnan gave her a deafening slap that muted her for few seconds before she let out a scream that was interrupted with another deafening slap, she let out a whimper as tears ran down her cheeks."Ya Adnan please, please don't do this.""You'll enjoy this my little Mirah, you will."His hands were rough on her, pulling her b

April 3rd 2003"What's that noise?" Khadijah asked Amirah, they just got back from school and were yet to enter inside the house.Amirah shrugged as she chewed her biscuit nonchalantly while they both made their way into the compound.Hajiya was shouting and cursing aunty Amarya yet again, was there ever a day Hajiya didn't have an issue with aunty Amarya?"Not again." Khadijah groaned. Her mother was on a stool, sitting quietly as Hajiya dished her insults upon insults."Useless fool, stupid woman. Better go and look for where to sleep tonight because wallahi you won't step a foot inside this house." Hajiya swore. Aunty Amarya still didn't flinch.Amirah simply stared at her mother while Khadijah left and went to meet hers.

"Ramadan shopping list completed!" Amirah announced before dropping the pen on the table dramatically."I've been thinking." Muhammad said coming out from the kitchen with a bowl of cereal, "we should get a house help."Amirah looked at him surprised, "why?""Which one is why?""Why should we get a house help?""Well to help you with the chores after all, we're having a baby.""Oh Allah, not again. I'm not sure yet so drop it until it's confirmed.""I can feel it, my instinct about this one is strong." Muhammad insisted with a broad smile on his face. It's been two months since Amirah had started seeing symptoms of pregnancy but she was scared of confirming so she'd told Muhammad about it yesterday and that's all he's been talking about."I'm tired of you already.""You'll come to the hospital for a test aft

Please sit." She said motioning to the chair opposite her. Amirah sat down slowly."I'm Tara, how're you doing today?""I'm fine, good." Amirah said her heart racing, she wanted to leave. This wasn't right, she wasn't crazy, she should get up and leave now, Muhamm

•••• •••• •••• ••••The rest of the drive was silent, Amirah relaxed on her seat and closed her eyes listening to an old school hit playing. Muhammad regularly turned to stare at her, he felt bad about how he'd spoken to her and he didn't know what to do next.Ummul Khair was almost alone, she had sounded frightened when she'd called and he wanted to be there for her? How could he continue with his outing and go have fun knowing that someone close to him was in such state, it wasn't about him having feelings for Ummul Khair or anything of that sort, she was his friend and he wanted to be there for her.He couldn't deny that there wasn't a special tenderness he felt for her but nothing more, it may have resulted from the fact that she was always there for him and how pitifully lonely she was. She was his friend now and she knew stuff about him e

The words died on his lips and his steps halted as he came into the room and saw Amirah's bare back, she hurriedly tried to cover up but it was too late.She'd come into the room to pick up her phone but then decided to change her blouse which was why Muhammad had barged into her room, he wasn't expecting to see her topless."What was that?" He asked coming close to her. S

"My Adnan would never do that on his own." She'd say, "something must have happened."And when he'd started touching seve

•••• •••• •••• ••••Amirah unlocked the gate with her key, as soon as she got into the compound, she noticed Muhammad's car wasn't anywhere around indicating he wasn't in the house, she didn't know whether to be relieved or worried. Since he'd left, she had been thinking of how to resolve the issue, telling the truth wasn't an option... Apologizing seemed like the best thing but he'd requested for an explanation and in all honesty, she had none to give.She regretted what had happened with AbdulRahman, it wasn't worth the troubles aftermath. She liked her job far too much to consider quitting, working made her feel better, whenever she stayed home, her thoughts ran wild but since she'd started working and kept busy, she had buried all thoughts about her mother and brother.

She said laughing as she settled herself on the seat opposite Amirah who had a plate of chips and egg and a strawberry smoothie."Is that all you're eating?" Ife asked."Yes, I get full easily." Amirah really enjoyed being alone, her team members had tried their best in the past one month to get as close to her as possible but it'd been futile. Ife stuck."So I've been hearing juicy gists o..." Ife said leaning towards her to whisper, Amirah rolled her eyes uninterested in office gossip.Ife continued "...
