I met Ummah in the sitting room and greeted her. She answered with a grin and I gave her a pathetic smile.
I asked her about Kaka and she told me that Kaka went to Adamawa for a wedding.
"Ikhlas how are you and Haneefah?" She asked. The glow in her eyes was slowly diminishing as I told her everything admist tears.
"Be strong Ikhlas okay. I'll go there myself and talk to her" she said.
"I don't want to be this vulnerable. I want to be the strong Ikhlas I used to be." I sobbed harder as she put an arm around me.
" You are one of the strongest people I know Ikhlas, the fact that you admitted to your mistake is a proof enough." She said soothingly.
" I almost want to give up ummah. I know it's wrong but I find myself questioning why did I have to marry him in the first place. I know I can't question Allah's plans but..." I wip

Haneefah POV. "Ohh yeah it's not true, sorry I made a mistake. I just remembered that you don't need a wizard cause you are a witch yourself" I spat back, my voice laced with so much venom. I could sense the hurt and anger in her. Why would she be hurt when she was the causative agent of all of this? This is what she wanted and I see no wrong in giving her to her fill. Even though I feel bad whenever I hurt her, it doesn't change the fact that I hate her for trying to ruin me."Assalamualaikum" I heard. I turned my head and my eyes met Ummah's, and my stomach immediately churn in fear. Ummah doesn't come to my house unless it's something very important. She always have me come over. "Waalaiki salam good evening ma" I greeted her, swallowing the lump in my throat. She didn't even answer my greetings before turning to Humair

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

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

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

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

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 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.
