Chapter 19: Chapter 19

"I'm pregnant, and it's for you"

I looked at Hafsa who was already fuming with anger. She stood up and walked to meenarh "you bitch, you dumb ass freaking bitch. You must leave my house today you whore". Before I know it Hafsa was on top of meenarh giving her the beating of her life.

"Hafsa stop, stop it" I pulled her off of meenarh's body. Meenarh's face has already swollen up. "No leave me, lemme deal with this whore. She's tryna separate us and I'm tryna show her we are a strong bond that can't be broken" she was about to hit meenarh again when I pulled and hugged her tight. "Get Out!!" I yelled at meenarh. She quickly stood up and went out crying in pain.

Hafsa pulled away from my body "it's either that sh*t face leaves or I leave" she has already turned all red. I couldn't say I word I just kept staring at her. I moved close to her but she pushed me "don't touch me!!" she yelled. She went to the closet and started stuffing her clothes in a suitcase. "What are you doing?" I asked. "I'm leaving" she said wiping her tears. "No hafsa please don't leave me alone. Don't go please, I can't do without you. I love you and you know that. I can't cheat on you Hafsa. Don't do this to me please"

"If that sh*t face is going to be staying then you won't find me in this house anymore" she said fuming with anger. My heart was beating at a high level. I stood and picked my phone to call baba and told him what's going on.

We finished talking, he told me the driver is on his way to pick up meenarh and we should meet him at home tomorrow night when I'm back from work.

The driver soon came and picked up meenarh. I somehow managed to calm Hafsa down. It wasn't easy but I did it. The good part is she knows I can't cheat on her. I can't do that to her, why will I even do that?

Next day....

Hafsa's POV

It's a relief to know that meenarh won't be living with us anymore. She's nothing but a counterfeit. I trust my husband, I know he can't do such thing. She thought lying about something like that will make me to ever leave. She must be on weed.

"Hafsa" I heard someone called out. I looked up to see it was Amira. "Amarya" I smiled at her. Have I told you that Amira is getting married in a month?

"Umm ayman what's wrong? You look pale" she grimaced. "Nothing is wrong, I'm fine" I replied. "Hmm! No you're not" she said. "Yes I am" I said avoiding her gaze.

"Did you know the class has been over like 15 minutes ago". I looked around the empty hall. I didn't even noticed that the class was over. "Oh! Lemme go pick up ayman then" I stood up and we headed outside.

I picked up ayman and went straight home to see aasim already at home. I went in straight to his room and saw him all dressed up like he was attending a wedding. "You're back" he said and I nodded. I gently placed ayman in his cradle before going into the bathroom to take a shower.

"Don't wake him up" I warned. I took my time to scrub my body and let the hot water flow through my aching body.

I wrapped a towel around my chest and sauntered out of the bathroom. Aasim wasn't in the room anymore, what if ayman had woken up when I was bathing. That's aasim for you. I Only saw a peaceful sleeping ayman.

I dressed up in a pink floral gown made by m_and_aclothing.

I grabbed all I needed for ayman and stuffed it in his baby bag. I dressed up ayman in a white overall with blue stars all over it and a white hat with stars all over it too.

I scooped him up and placed him in his small cradle and went downstairs to  the kitchen to meet aasim cooking. Oh that's why he disappeared. "Just find a seat and sit down, I'll be done in a minute" he said and I nodded.

"Dan ubanki zaki gayamin cikin waye Ko sena miki dukan tsiya (will tell me whose responsible for this pregnancy before I beat the hell out of you!!)" meenarh's mom yelled. "Mummy na aasim ne wallahi (it's for aasim)" meenarh said crying. Her mom stood up from where she was sitting and started beating meenarh. "Haba hajiya halima kashe ta Za kiyi (do you want to kill her)" Ammi pulled meenarh's mom away.

Right now we are all gathered at Aasim's parents house trying to solve this outrageous case. Meenarh's parents came all the way from Aasim's home town, katsina. "Amina gayamin Gaskiya cikin nan na waye? (Tell me the truth, whose responsible for this pregnancy?" Ammi asked calmly. Meenarh looked around before finally speaking up "it's for aasim's friend, Sadiq" she uttered and we all gasped.

"Sadiq? My friend Sadiq?" Aasim asked, shocked written all over his face. "Yes" she answered. "Ya Subahanallah" I murmured. "Please let me kill this girl today" her mom stood up again and started beating her "hajiya halima stop it please!" Baba yelled. "A'a alhaji mukhtar let me kill this girl. Look at what kind of shame she dragged us into please. Da wana ido zamu kalli jama'a? Allah ya isa Amina ban yafe miki ba" her mom was already in tears.

"Innalillahi wa Inna'ilaihir raji'un" meenarh's dad murmured. He buried his face in his palm shaking his head in disbelief. "Mummy please I'm sorry, it was a mistake. Wallahi sharrin shaytan ne" meenarh said crying. Her mom stood up and left the living room.

"Meenarh Allah ya isa tsakani na dake. I'll never forgive you and don't even think of coming back to my house again. Better pack your things and leave this house too. I don't want your bad habit to spread out to his children" her dad spoke. "No alhaji usman baza ayi haka ba. Please forgive her, if you tell her to leave where else do you want her to go to please? Kana so ta shiga duniya ne?" Baba asked. "Why will she go and do such kind of disgusting thing. Zina fisabilillah!!" Her dad yelled.

Meenarh stood up and knelt down in front of her dad begging but she ended up getting a hot slap. At first I was enjoying It but seeing the situation she's in really made me to pity her a little.

That's how she kept begging before we stood to leave. It was a really quiet drive home. Aasim looked woebegone. Why is he sad? I asked him but he said nothing. He parked the car in front of the house and wow, I never noticed how beautiful the house is till today.

I just smiled and went in. I dropped Ayman in his room and went to Aasim's room but it was locked. "That's unusual" I thought to myself. "Baby open the door" I yelled but he didn't. I kept knocking and knocking before finally gave up and went to my room.

I Slipped into my pjs and went straight to bed. I sat on the edge of the bed and called aasim but he didn't pick. I called twice before giving up. 'Maybe he just need some time alone' I thought to myself. I just shrugged and turned off the lights.

••••

I woke up the next morning and went downstairs to make breakfast. On my way to the kitchen I met aasim in the living room watching TV. He looked really handsome in his black kaftan, as always he never wears cap. I wasn't surprised to see him at home cause today is Saturday.

"Good morning" I said and he looked at me "morning beautiful "come here" he motioned me to sit on his laps. I sat on his laps facing him "what happened to you last night?" I asked touching his lips, they looked sexy "it's about this meenarh thing. I can't believe my own friend would do that" he looked really sad.

"Me too, it's really shocking. But now you know who he really is" I replied. "Yeah I guess" he murmured. I moved close to his face and gently pressed my lips on his. My eyes fluttered close the way he was caressing my body. He trailed kisses to my neck making to moan. I stopped him when his hands were getting out of control "Stop!" I pushed him. "What?" He asked breathing heavily.

"We can't.." I trailed off. "C'mon Hafsa don't do this to me mana. You know I need you more than anything right now" he looked really desperate but what can I do?

"I know baby, I have to go see a doctor first" I tried to make him understand but he pushed me off his body and stood up making me to fall on my butt "ouch!!" I yelped. I stood up and followed him "aasim wait. You know I have short legs. Wait I'm sorry" before I knew he has already locked the door to his room.

"Urgh!!!" I groaned. I went to the nursery and saw ayman was up but to my surprise he wasn't crying, he was just looking around. I scooped him up and sat on the couch to feed him. I finished breastfeeding him and gave him a bath. I dressed him up and went downstairs.

Aasim was already cooking breakfast. "Whatchu cooking?" I asked but he ignored me. "C'mon habiby I'm sorry. I'm even going to the hospital today. I'm really sowie" I pouted. He looked at me and smiled "good. Just don't ever what you did earlier please. If I won't get the full package then don't turn me on like that again"

"I promise, I won't" I said and kissed his cheek. He took ayman to the backyard with him while I finished cooking. I took everything outside to the gazebo and we ate there.

We finished eating and decided to watch movie at the screening room before going to the hospital. It's really good to know that I don't have anything to worry about, I hope. Just me, my husband and baby ayman. I love them so much.

They mean everything to me. I love my husband. I love the way he looks at me,

His eyes so bright and brown. I love the way he kisses me, His lips so soft and smooth. I love the way he makes me so happy, And the way he cares about me. I love the way he says, "I Love You" to me. And the way he's  always there for me. I love the way he touches me, Always sending chills down my spine.

I love that he is with me, And am glad that he is MINE.
