Finishing her third paper which was geography, Mehr hurriedly sauntered into Mallam Audu's car telling him to hurry up and take her home, which he did with just a nod. Something must be serious since Mehr herself was impatient, for she isn't someone who's impatient, but Kydah.
They drove back silently to the Maliks' Mansion in silence, which was so unlike Mehr to Mallam Audu. But instead of him to talk or start a conversation, he kept quite. Sometimes, people don't want to be probed or disturbed in situations like this and Mehr will also be part of them.
Parking inside the Mansion, Mehr picked her backpack and ran into the house, straight to their room, jot even telling Maa that she's back. Kydah was in the room when she rushed in, but she didn't say anything but look at her like she's a mad person. She was removing her socks and shoe in a hurry before jumping into the bathroom, Kydah could swore that she didn't say the du'a for entering toilet.
Kydah knew what
Today is Mehr's graduation. They've finished their exams a month ago and they're celebrating it today at their school with the rest of the students.Mehr was dressed in a black pants and white shirt, which was the colour code for the graduation- black and white. She looked at the mirror, placing back the huge black graduation gown and the cap.Afnaan was wearing a palazzo pants, which was in black and white material then a white shirt on top. She hid some p-caps she did for her squad members in her bag so that they could use it during the after party that the school organized.Afnaan who was sitting on the bed waiting for her whilst taking selfies and videos, she was very impatient. She has invited her crush and he said he'll be there, she doesn't want her makeup to get smudged before she reach there so she on the fan."Mehr, be fast!" Afnaan whined for the umpteenth time. She can't wait to be there and se
The whole week was so exhausting to Mehr. She couldn't sit down for an hour, she'd be called from Maa or Kydah's friends and it was annoying her. She doesn't even have time to talk to Mashkur talk less of seeing him, which was more than annoying. Its not like she doesn't want to help, but its getting too much.So now, she locked the door to Paa's living room with Afnaan by her side. Mehr was talking to Mashkur for more than an hour, whilst Afnaan was bored out if her mind. She wants to do something fun but her best friend has other plans, so she doesn't have a choice that sitting their and check her social media accounts.Getting more and more bored after the next thirty minutes, she collect the phone from Mehr wanting to ask Mashkur t9 give them some time together also and Mehr just laughed at her."Ya Mashkur, your girlfriend's best friend needs her asap, so do me a favour and give us some time together," She grinned at Mehr, who scowled back."My girlf
Afnaan was driving aimlessly in the road with no destination nor any idea about where she's going to. She keeps on muttering some unknown words to her mind and her head was full with so many memories that keeps triggering in her head.Suddenly, she felt the car tumbling on the road, her hands tightly holding the steering wheel like her life depend on it which it did at the moment. Her head was turned upside down, she wasn't feeling anything but the pain in her head was very bad. Blood was dripping down her forehead, to her eyes making her vision blurry.Her arms was hurting also, then her left thigh where some glasses pierced through the skin there.Then slowly, her consciousness was slipping out from her body, she heard some loud screams but she realised that those screams were coming out from her mouth.Mehr ran out of the room to Mallam Audu, panting and asking him to take her to the hospital. She was n
The awaited day was finally here, well, none of them were happy about this day nor the knot that has already been tied a few minutes ago. Kydah hasn't stopped bawling her eyes out.Mehr was still heartbroken, that her best friend didn't forgive her and she's even at the wedding, they talked but not like they do before which was really eating up Mehr.She apologized countless of times but Afnaan will just brush it off or change the topic when there's someone next to them and when they're alone, shed stand up and leave.Kydah and her friends who only knew the truth, try to set them alone so that they could talk it out, but Afnaan is really proving them wrong. She can also be strong headed.Now, Afnaan, Mehr, Kydah and Maa were all sitting in Kydah's room getting dressed so that they can take her to her husband's house. Maa didn't know about the fight, hence she didn't say anything about it.Afnaan used crutches the first two days because of the
Mehr and Afnaan finally patch up and stitch their problem. And now, Mashkur was ready to come and talk to Mehr's father about the marriage which was advised by Mehr herself. She already told everyone excluding Paa.Anxiously sitting on the bed, Mehr kept glancing at the window from their room where she could see the gate and whoever came in or out.Its a beautiful Firday, Paa and Amdaad went to the mosque to pray the Friday prayer in the mosque which happens always. She was waiting for them to come back so that she could call Mashkur to come.Her heart was not at ease knowing fully well that Paa is not in the least interested of her getting married at the age of twenty but now, at eighteen, she's already ready for commitment. That's a very huge step and there are Hugh hopes of him not agreeing.She's still trying to look on the good side but nothing comes out of it. She hate to admit but something bad is about to happen and she will not like it. They both
Mehr was beyond shattered when she heard that her Paa disapproved Mashkur. She cried her eyes and face to sleep. When she woke up, time for dinner, she felt like she was beaten black and blue.She walked to the dining table and her head was down through out the dinner even though her father tried to talk to her.She walk back to her room annoyed. Is that how her sister felt when her father arranged her marriage? That's bad even though its different.Maa knocked on her door but she didn't bother looking up or saying come in and Maa invited herself in."You need to stop crying and stop brooding. That will not change his mind," Maa scolded."But Maa, why won't he agree. He knew I was ready since I was the one who asked Mashkur to go to him. Why is Paa doing this?" She wailed."Shush baby," Maa hugged her to her bosom calming her down but all in vain. She only cried harder.
Afnaan grinned and fell on Mehr's bed to continue from where she was stopped by her alarm clock. She badly wanted to roll and drag the duvet over her face to hide her face from the sunlight and the noise sounding around the four walls in the room. She threw the thing in the floor and she has to buy a new one before she starts college.She threw a striped maxi dress, polyester fabric, crew neckline and long sleeves. She even wore her sister's- Adiva- shoe by the main door. If not for the hot strong coffee she stole from her mother, she wouldn't be able to drive from her home to Mehr's. It was a really big deal but she has to do it."Come on Afnaan, you can't fall asleep right now," Mehr whined, stomping her legs on the floor. She couldn't wait to get over with all these. Her couldn't sleep, she was just praying that her Paa will magically change his mind. Keyword 'magically'."But Maa said she's going to meet us here, lemme sleep for ten minutes befor
The wedding was already fixed two months after the whole disapproval scenario and Mehr and Mashkur couldn't be anymore happier. The were both elated and Mehr has already started going to college which was close to where Mashkur build their house. The wedding is in two weeks and Mehr can't even sit her butt for good ten minutes without being called either by Kydah, Maa or Afnaan or her friends that seem to never leave her house. They'd come by 6:00am and they'll leave by 10:00pm much to Mehr's chagrin.Afnaan is having sleepovers here and there but she said when the wedding is a week away, then she'll just pack to there house till after the wedding is over. She already packed the clothes she's going to wear and they're all in Mehr's Locke's drawer, she doesn't want anyone to see it.Her dinner anko, bridal shower, and the nikkah day. She just couldn't wait. She made sure her cloth is sewn th
After the celebration -the naming ceremony of Fadila, Mashkur and Mehr decide to take a little trip to Goa, India to explore. They were there for a week because they had to come back as Mashkur needed to be in the office and Farid will go back to school whilst Mehr will go back to work also."Babe, stop worrying so much. He'll do just good. It's just that this is his first year and you know it'll be tough, worry not!" Mashkur comforted."I know but I don't like how he's whining about it. Don't you think something is happening in the school?" She was Still worried and he could tell."Then to put all your worries aside, let's go to the school tomorrow and see if something is happening, happy?" He asked."Very!" She grinned before leaning her head on his should as he was holding Fadila to his chest and Farid wouldn't leave the passenger sit, so he's strapped with a seatbelt.The dreaded Monday came before they could blink their eyes.

Five Years Later!Mehr was roaming around the house since 6:00am and hasn't sat down ever since then. Today is a big day and she found out she could be pregnant again but didn't say anything, she'll wait for the day to finish and they'd tackle with that later with her husband. She was kind of elated and extremely nervous for the day ahead.After finishing the breakfast which was Irish potatoes, scrambled eggs, plantain and sausage, she sat down on the high kitchen chair as she look around and the kitchen, wanting to see something she could fix but found none.This is a new Mehr who would never pass a dirty place without coming back and cleaning it. Yeah, there is a maid but the woman doesn't do much as Mehr just wants everything to be burnishing around her house. She was so into her thoughts that she didn't notice the house help walking in."Good morning maman Farid," the woman in her mid
Mehr was looking at herself on the full length mirror in the bathroom, seeing how she filled up everywhere. Her pregnancy makes her sleepy, tired, slothful, and craving her husband's attention so much. And now, her chest is fuller, her behind, her hips widened.Just seven months pregnant but she's huge. She thank God that her face was still as it is, no huge nose or puffy cheeks. But that didn't stop from feeling the insecure crawling every time she's with her husband." Don't! You look so sexy! I just can't take my eyes and hands off of you," he slowly walked to her from behind, at first she was startled as she didn't know when he came in.Sometimes, she'd feel like he is saying those things to make her feel better but the way his eyes talk for themselves as they stare at her with pure hunger, she knew she'll have to throw that insecurity out the window.He snaked her arms around her bare stomach and rest
They collected their result, Mashkur immediately opened it before they walk into the doctor's office as they were asked to do so. Seeing Mehr's bold name on top of the paper and the positive letters under, Mashkur twirled Mehr around getting people attention but as always, he didn't care.He kissed her cheek before dropping her down and she already knew the answer. He brought his phone and typed something before dragging her to the doctor's office who happens to be Dr. Hadi who beamed at the couple."Hello you two! I'm so happy to see you again under a different circumstances," they all chuckled at that before he asked them to sit down on the two chairs directly facing him.They exchanged pleasantries before he starts to talk about what she should do and wh
Mehr feel like she was floating. All her problems are solved and she was so happy and thankful to Allah. Everything is now falling into place and now, she just couldn't hold it but walk into the kitchen to bake whatever it is that'll come to her mind.She decide to bake some cookies as she was craving it. Okay, she really is craving a lot of things these days. Mashkur is up in his room getting ready for work. Having no lectures for today, public holiday, Mehr decide to laze around with her girlfriends -Afnaan, Ferozah, Makiyyah and Yamina.The rest of them are all in another school and they're not back so they'll have to enjoy their nights alone and she really miss them terribly. They always chat and call each other frequently and they even wanted to come when she had her miscarriage but she stopped them."Hey baby, what are you thinking of?" He kissed her cheek before wrapping his arm around her shoulder and pulling her closer to him."Nothing. But
They were all enjoying their day on the couch in the theater room upstairs. Mehr and Mashkur cuddled on one of the long couches in the room. Mashkur was holding the popcorn and Mehr has her arms around his waist as she was sleeping, tired of watching the movie but he was wide awake.She tend to do that these days. She'd sleep for about ten minutes, then wake up and then sleep back again. It was like she was having a hard time controlling herself so he rub his hands up and down her back so that she wouldn't wake up.After some minutes, she still awoke even after telling her that she should go back to sleep, she didn't. She took a handful of popcorn and stuff it in her mouth before doing the same to him.He laughed and start to tickle her till she was the one on the couch and he is standing on top of her."S-s-sorry, pl-eas--se," she begged before he stopped and lie done on top of her, careful with his weight.They stared at each other for awhi
Two months later, Mehr was coming out of her last class of the day which was biology. She was so tired and sleepy that she didn't even know what was happening around her. She called Mashkur to come and pick her up since she couldn't even drive herself from her home, the driver brought her. She just wants to laze around.Shortly, Mashkur came and packed the car then walked out, getting the -student around there- attention. He always gets that attention and mostly from females which Mehr hated with great passion.She immediately walk up to him so that they could immediately leave and the girls should stop looking at her husband. Upon reaching him, he wrapped his arms around her waist, giving her a quick kiss on the cheek before opening the door for her."Thanks," she grinned at him and he quickly give her a quick peck, making sure no one saw them."Mashkur!" She scolded, turning crimson.
Even after three days, Mehr is still giving Mashkur a cold shoulder. But he still didn't give up and her mother is even glaring at her every time she saw him trying to talk to her and she shun him away. She'd smile innocently at her mother and then avert her eyes.And about the culprit, they still didn't caught the person and are still trying. But then again, Ferozah already knew the culprit but she's trying to investigate everything and find clear evidence. She is working with Kydah, Amdaad and doctor Hadi. They have a suspect but didn't get reveal anything to anyone.Currently, Mehr is looking at the plain white wall in front of her as she think about her baby. The baby is no more! She can't believe someone will stoop so low to kill her unborn baby, who doesn't know anything about the world. She hates to think that the person is close to them and still not caught.Mashkur walked in with a basket of food which means she's eating homemade today. Probably from Am
