2024-10-29 19:42:56Juwai felt it deep inside her heart, something must be wrong with arfaat, he's not the giving up type, what if he's sick? O yaa Allah! No please. She made up her mind to call him that morning, hoping that is switched on not off, she dailed his digits again, but the answer is still thesame, number switched off.
She let out a deep breath, her face looked worried and she was deep in thought, her mom, hajiya raliya had been standing behind her for almost 10mins. She knew very well that something is troubling her daughter, she looked worried and restless. What could be wrong with her? Could it be that she's not inlove with Junayd? That can't be, she chose Junayd herself.
"Angel" Hajiya Raliya called her slowly, tapping her on her shoulders... 'Something wrong?"
Juwai blinked back into focus "I'm sorry mom, didn't notice your presence. Nothing that much." Juwai replied.
Hajiya raliya sat beside her, taking her right hand into her palm

"Easy lily, go easy on yourself". Arfaat said, his heart beating fast. Junayd only gave her a sharp look, more like a warning. They both looked at her quickly, on of them with a surprised and shocked look, the other with a very happy and smiling face."Repeat what you just said lily". Arfaat said, his voice chocky."I said i choose Yaa Junayd to be my husband". She said, almost like whispering. Arfaat shook his head, shaking it hard, he didn't even have the courage to say a word as tears rolled down his cheeks."I can't loose you Juwai, Juwai you can't do this to me; don't do it please, you know how much i love you" he quickly took hold of hajiya azumi's hand, holding it tight "tell her hajiya, tell her she means the world to me, i love so very much. Feel my heart beat". He said, as he puts her hand at the center tip of his heart. Alhaji Abbas was also speechless, she should be happy about her choice, junayd is his

But what she saw after closing the door behind her shocked the hell out of her, deep inside, she was still grateful for choosing Junayd as her husband to be. "Yaa Junayd" she called slowly, after overcoming the shock of what she saw "yaa junayd are you okay? What's wrong with you?" She asked, as she walked over to where he was lying down. But as soon as she approached him, a heavy and polluted smell gave her a warm welcome. She quickly stood up, her eyes wide open in shock. What could this be? Is junayd a drunkard? Yaa Allah! No! This can't be."Yaa junayd, what is this smell? Don't tell me its what am thinking?" She asked, standing over him. Junayd turned slowly and looked at her, he's feverish, and at the same time feeling dizzy. "Angel..." He called, his voice almost inaudible "Am sorry, you made me do it, i just had to..." His speech ended as he begin to throw up without a stop. The room was filled with t

I'll be using POVs now. Thank you.JUWAI'S POV *WEDDING DAY*I woke up that early morning feeling detached, a feeling like i don't belong to the world anymore, a feeling that i have no one else to call mine. What have i done?. I never in my life felt so dejected and weak, or never felt so vulnerable and hate until this early morning of my wedding day with yaa junyad. Well, my second marraige to be precise. I pulled the quilt over my face as the tears increased their speed, my heart was aching so much. I couldn't even breath properly.

I broke the hug slightly, tears still in my eyes and looked at him. He smiled. I mean the biggest and most beautiful smile I've ever seen. Yaa Rabbi! How lucky am i to have him. "Its been a long day Tinkerbell, go into the bathroom and take a shower, I'll be doing so. Uh..and don't forget to perform an ablution". He said slowly, as he bit my earlobe.

"Hold your head up and smile, you coward" Arfaat growled at Juwairiyyah as they walked through the steps that led to Sophie's imposing home where their wedding traditional party would take place. His hand gripped her waist so tightly and that made her gasped. She felt like jerking away and fleeing back; down the steps to their parked car.There was a long line of cars parked outside Sophie's home, It was obvious the ton had gathered to see the grand wedding of Alhaji Abba's daughter to a poor mechanic.If not for the cold dread in the pit of Juwairiyyah's stomach, she might enjoyed the sight of her wedding day. As it was, she felt only a shivering apprehension at Arfaat's cold rage and implacable face. They'd ridden from her father's house at GRA in stark silence. Except for a brief moment when she had balked at getting into the car, he had not spoken to her un

Juwairiyyah was dressed in a blue silk gown with a black silky veil which complimented her fair face; caked with makeup. She was walking towards her car in the students' parking lot with the car keys dangling in her hand. Immediately she was there, she stormed into the driver's seat and ignited the engine into a quick action. She revised out of the parking lot and gently accelerated away. As she was driving towards the gate, someone appeared from nowhere and blocked her way. It was Yousuf!She turned off the car and quickly removed the key from the ignition. "What the heck do you want from me?" She icily asked as she hopped out of the car. "I thought I made it clear to you that we are done already? Why do you have to keep disturbing me, Yousuf?"."Juwairiyyah listen to me please. I love you, and you know I rea

Saturday dawned, bright and crisp, with rare sunshine and a brisk breeze. It was a welcome relief from the constant rain and Juwairiyyah made up her mind to go out for a drive. The past few days had been boring with no lectures to attend to, Juwairiyyah's mother limited her outings coupled with the rain that had showered Gombe for two consecutive days.She withdrew from her bed, took a quick shower and got herself dressed. Clad in a pink Ankara with red polka dots sewed into skirt and a blouse, Juwairiyyah applied little makeup before draping a pink veil on her head. Her legs were clutched in a pink flat shoe while she held a blue Gucci bag with one hand and her phone on the other. She walked out of her room to the foyer where her mother was, hence kissing her mother on her cheeks before saying, "I'm going out mom, this house is kind of suffocating these days. Don't s

"Yaa Junayd". Juwai called from behind, he turned slightly and looked at her. "Your heart hurts?"He only nodded in response. "But why Yaa Junayd? It shouldn't hurt because I've made up my mind". She said slowly, looking at Junayd and then Hajiya Azumi...."I'll marry you, happy?"Junayd couldn't believe what he just heard, Juwai can't be serious. "Juwai, i need to talk to you". Hajiya Azumi said, as she stood up from the couch she was sitting beside Junayd. "Issues like this needs time and decision making, you can't just do things the way you want them.""I only want to talk to yaa junayd privately" she said, as she looked at hajiya azumi straight in the eyes. "Without you interfering, we need some time alone" She concluded. "But juw....""Say no more grandma, just go." Hajiya Azumi looked at her grandchildren, she can't help them, there is nothing she can do about it.

"Is that a yes?"Junayd asked smiling. Juwairiyyah was still silent, she sat still, tears rolling down her cheeks, her heart beats increased in pace, as if she ran for kilometers without stopping. She grew up with Junayd, shared a lot of things with him. Infact, she was already in love with him when he left, but now, she is nonplussed of her feelings towards him, more so; she's now a divorcée, will he still marry her that way?.My earliest memory has always been with yaa junayd, him bathing me, feeding, clothing and so on.She was so engrossed in her thoughts, when she felt yaa junayd's hand on mine,... I looked up at him, her eyes still moist from the tears she shed. "What is it?" He asked ca

"Yaa Junayd, I missed you so very much, hope you are back for good now?". Juwairiyyah asked still holding his hands. Junayd smiled, caressing Juwai's face. He can't express how happy he is to see her........"yes baby, am back"....he said, taking her hands to his lips and pressing a light kiss on them..."am not gonna leave you agaiin."Who the hell is this?, Arfaat is totallyspeechless, he stood there stunned, totally out of words. He turned and look at Alhaji Abbas, Hajiya Azumi and Hajiya Raliya who were smiling at them. "Welcome back son, or are you still not done looking at your sister ?". Asked Alhaji Abbas, standing up and opening his hands for a hug."O papy, I missed you so very much". He walked to his open arms, but then suddenly changed his direction and hugged Hajiya Raliya, who only sat on
