I was having a peaceful Afternoon nap when the shrill ringing of my phone ripped that peace away from me. I reluctantly picked it up with a groggy Salam.
"Hey woman!! Get ur lazy ass out of that bed am coming to pick you up in 10 minutes we need to go for shopping".
She basically screamed at me from the other side of the line. " 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? If not then I am now.

THE HOMEWRECKER 18. Regret.
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.

After much persuasion, I was allowed to continue going to work, promising them that I'll be fine.Actually staying at home wouldn't have helped me in any way. Infact staying at home would definitely keep me psychologically deranged. I just have to keep myself busy by doing what I love the most."Oi ! Wasai!"I whip around at the sound of my name, my eyes already narrowed to scold the person who used my last name. The culprit was of course my sunshine.I briskly walked into her arms as she engulfed me into a hug."Why are you here?" I asked her with a wide grin. I swear

I missed him so much, so very much that every second without him hurts like a thorn stuck in my throat. I felt someone hugged me from behind, stopping my trail of thoughts. Turning around, I smiled at her worried figure. "Ikhee I'll be fine okay" I assured her. She kinda hooked up with that Khaleel guy and she is going on a date with him this evening. "I was looking for you Hanny and here you are staring at your husband's picture. I Know how you feel sunshine but just endure it for some more time and you'll be back to your husband in no time."

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.

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

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

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.

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.
