I sat on my bed watching haneefah's wedding pictures and videos when I came across his speech, I felt the tears stinging my eyes threatening to fall.
FYI I still like my best friend's husband. Though am not supposed to but I can't help that I do. Time heals all wounds and it seems like time isn't working on my own wound.
Why does it have to be my best friend's husband? Why? Why? I hate myself so much already.
I set them free as they cascaded down my sad cheeks.
"Hey!! What's wrong?" Delilah asked clearly concerned.
" Nothing am just being emotional cause am happy for her" I said as I quickly wiped my face.
"So you want to tell me you are shedding tears because you are happy?" She said Giving me the 'I know you are telling lies' look. .
"Yeah" I answered weakly and averted my eyes to prevent her from finding about more. <Related chapters

Sighing in frustration, I took a taxi to the car park and boarded a car to Ibadan.Yes! Yes! It's actually what you are thinking, am now a certified nuclear medicine specialist. Can't wait to get home. I missed everyone. Face timing, Audio calls and voice notes just aren't enough.

Haneefah POV.Weekends are like heaven. You get to rest, Actually do what you want without work getting in the way which am always grateful for. I finished tidying the house and bathed, got into a comfy free gown and tied my hair into a ponytail.I laid on my couch watching television, I was so bored that none of the programs seem interesting. I kept going through but none seemed to catch my attention. I finally put it off and decided to have some sleep. I was about making my way to the bedroom when I heard a knock. I was Suprised because I was virtually expecting no one. Who on Earth could it be?I lazily moved my jelly like legs towards the door to opened it only for my eyes to meet with those Hazel ones. Those eyes that I could never get rid of their image in my head, those orbs that haunted my dreams and invades my thoughts. My breath hitched as I kept staring at her and she w

" Better be all ready before I get here woman" she added, ending the call.Oh gracious Lord! Haneefah is a pain in the ass. But I love her anyway.Yes! Am still in Kano because Haneefah managed to blackmail me into staying for one more week. Have I ever told you that she is a pro in emotional blackmailing?

Haneef POV. I sat close to her, taking her hands in mine, my eyes glued to her petite statue; Her chest rising and falling, coupled with her low but audible breaths. I watched as the fluid from the IV drip trickled down into her veins causing me to heave another exasperated sigh. It's been three goddamn hours since she blacked out and she is still not regaining consciousness. Tears stung my eyes as I continue to suppress those emotions viciously tugging at my heartstrings.I am the world's meanest guy right? Yeah I know that. Am starting to hate myself, I shouldn't have done this no matter what. I should have begged mom more, maybe this wouldn't have happened. As a result of what I did, here is my Haneefah lying on a hospital bed. I can't even call her parents cause I don't know how to explain the reason why she fainted to them. Everything is ju

Life isn't balance and you don't always get what you want. So when the opportunity comes, grab it and make a good use of it. Sabr is tough. It at times can also be painful. Because when you are i in a difficult moment, the bubble of darkness is all that surrounds you. It's like you are trapped I na place where there are no doors to leave. There is just a window through which you can see sunlight enter, but through which you can't exit because of its size. It can be suffocating and difficult. But that window no matter how small it may be, is a reminder that there is light outside of what you are e

The clouds have passed, revealing the tucked away light blue colors of the world.

After we moved here Haneefah gave birth to a baby boy and he was named Hashim.I also work as a specialist in NYU LANGONE MEDICAL CENTER and Haneefah decided to pursue her dream of being a Radiotherapist there in NYU.

THE HOMEWRECKER 43. A brand new friendship
Ikhlas POVThe next day, I got ready for my Antenatal as usual and got out of my room. I met Haneefah in the sitting room, she was dressed like she was also going out but it looked like she was waiting for someone. "Hi" she said to me and my heart immediately started beating erratically that I thought it would eventually combust. I also replied with a "Hi". She shifted in her seat, hesitating to answer. "Umm... Am not trying to be overbearing but I would like to go to the hospital with you." My heart swelled and it meant a lot to me that she wanted to come. I hadn't expected her to, but she already Suprised me multiple times this past month. I nodded "I'd love if you come" I started the car and drove off to the hospital. She rested her head and for a while I thought she was sleeping till I saw tears run down her tears. "Are you okay?" I asked.
THE HOMEWRECKER 42. Forgiveness
Ikhlas POVThe night was beautiful, the stars were out and the sky was the darkest shade of blue I had seen in a while. The moon was full and it casts a shimmering light below, lightening the part for the dark at heart. The mid October breeze blew in all directions, never slowly in it's mad rampage. It wasn't cold, but it was a sign of winter approaching. I sat by my window, staring at the beautiful scenery and thinking about how life with Haneefah had turned out to be. Things were slowly changing between I and Haneefah. I could now comfortably watch movies in the sitting room without any problem, Even though we haven't sit together since the day she took me to the hospital well apart from meals. A message popped up on my phone screen, rescuing me from my stress-induced daze. "Get ready tomorrow Kaka wants to see all of us." It was from Haneef. Which made me begin to wonder what might ha

The rains seems to slowly withdraw, it being the late September.I got ready with my heart beating like Bata Drum (a Yoruba musical instrument) I just wished the skies will open up their tanks and pour everything down to stop me from going to the hospital with Haneefah today.He came in and smiled brightly at me. "Ready?" He asked.I let out the air I held before nervously running my hands down my sides. "Ready" I answered with a nod, picked up my phone and we both came out together.She was quiet, her head hung low and she entered the driver's seat of her car. I climbed into the passenger's seat and we both took off to the hospital.The tension in this car was a thick as a brick wall and
THE HOMEWRECKER 40. Mending the broken hearts 2
IKHLAS POV. I woke up the next morning to find a marker on my bed, I wonder how it got here. I helped myself out of bed and headed to the bathroom to perform Ablution for Subh prayer. I was about washing my other arm when I noticed something scribbled on my cast with black marker. Guess that was exactly the reason why the marker was on my bed in the first place. It says " Get well soon peaches" with a smiley face drawn on it. I was confused. Haneef also calls me peaches but the calligraphy was Haneefah's and she had no reason to come to my room talkless of writing on my cast. I stared down at it and I found myself swooning at the calligraphy. Although there was no denying the fact that she was different. I witnessed it in the hospital. I couldn't pinpoint exactly what was going on but she no longer had that dark look hidden in her eyes, like i

Haneefah POVDays passed slow, exhaustion and pain overtaking my entire body. Within two weeks I could count the hours of sleep I had gotten. My appetite had dwindled, making the exhaustion even worse but I wasn't hungry.Maybe this wouldn't have gotten this bad if I was a little bit more patient, if I was a bit more understanding. My heart weighed down in grief and guilt. How could I have done this to my first and only best friend?Yaya entered with a Salam and gave me a pitiful look. He has been going back and forth between the both of us trying to make sure we were both alright. How hard it must have been on him.He whispered " Come out for dinner" and with that he left. The sad tremble in his voice echoed in my ears, along with the door closing. The tears wanted to come but couldn't. I had nothing left in me, I was dehydrated exhausted and comp
THE HOMEWRECKER 38. Giving up
Haneefah POV. If you've never experience a deafening silence you're lucky. It could drive a person mad within few minutes. Everything was still, only the beeping sound of the heart monitor. Every slight movement could be heard and I felt like I was hearing my own thoughts. Trying to focus on one thing was hard as we all patiently waited for Ikhlas to wake up. It was eerie. Her eyes steered open slowly, carefully adjusting to the light that illuminated the hospital room. Everyone rushed Happily to her side as she held her head in pain. The doctor hurriedly came in and examined her before asking her some questions which she groggily answered. The next second, her eyes shot open and she looked at the doctor in sheer horror. "My baby doctor...... How is my baby" she said, almost screaming. " Your baby is fine Hajiya" you only broke
