Chapter 51: Chapter 51

Umma could not say anything even after Mairo left so Gogo speaks up "what did you plan to do now?" Gogo asked which Umma keeps mute "say something you don't have to keep quiet all the time. You see what he did to your daughter, if you don't say anything he will continue to walk over you. So it's better you stand up on your feet and fight for your right" Gogo advised

"I won't leave him because I swore not to leave anyone that has hand in my daughter's predicament. He has done enough which have been keeping quiet but it's have come to an end today. I will show him his place" Umma said

"Good, that's the best thing" Gogo said. They were still where Mairo left them when a little boy come in

"Good afternoon" the little boy greated

"How are you?" Umma asked smiling with the boy

"Am fine. Aunty Mairo said I should call you" the boy said and left not waiting for them to reply him

"Tashi tashi(stand up stand up) we have to go. Hurry up and bring your hijab" Gogo said adjusting her Vail since it was hanging close to her. Umma put on her hijab and they left

"You're back from your up and down. Someone can't seat in his own house, always walking around" Mairo said

"I don't know what you want me to do. Always picking a fight but by the day am ready and through with you. You will regret knowing me" Umaru said

"I won't regret anything, it's you that will regret knowing and crossing my path" Umaru was about to answer back when they heard Taslim and both of them face the door waiting for who to entered there compound. Immediately Umaru saw Umma he started opening his brown teeth " Is it Habiba am seeing or what?" Umaru asked using his hand to wipe his eyes

"It's her ghost you're seeing not Habiba" Mairo answered far away from his side but Umaru did not answer him seeing Umma

"I told you that you will come looking for me. Didn't I?" Umaru said happily which Umma did not say anything and continue walking inside immediately she was a feet away from him she slapped him twice

"That's for ruining my daughter's life" she slapped him again twice "that's for all the pain you have caused me and I kept quiet. Let me tell you something the time for keeping quiet is over. You see this house?" Umma said turning around showing Umaru "I will take it back, because it's mine. I didn't fight over it before because I thought you might change but no you did not rather you got worst than before. Get ready to pack and leave the house for me" Umma said confidently which Umaru begins to laugh like a lunatic

"Woman in your dream. You can't take this house from me because it's my brother's property. I owned everything he has. So stop dreaming about this house"

"Then let's watch and see who laugh last. Wait for court to summon you" and Umma left after looking at Mairo who was busy giving her thumbs up at the back. They walked out before Mairo continue from where they stopped

"But your heartless and wicked. Why will you do this to your brother's wife and daughter?"

"Woman I didn't marry you to preach for me, know your place before I deal with you"

"No it's the other way round. Guess you have forgotten about your broken head. Don't worry soon I will give you another one if you try me in this house" Mairo said before she walks into her kitchen. Umaru did not show any sign of being afraid because he thought Umma is just bluffing she can do nothing

"Habiba what did you plan to do with him?" Gogo asked immediately they were in the comfort of there house

"Alot, because he will leave that house. Am going to call Hajiya now since Hadiza ix still in town I will seek for her assistant before she leaves"

"That's good. He need to be sue if not for everything, for causing raft in the marriage of your daughter"

"He will regret knowing me I will leave him Kobo less that to feed will be difficult for him"

"No it's shouldn't be to that extent, you know am supporting this because of what he did to daughter, if not I won't intervene. Revenge is not a good thing, it's just a distructions. It's not something we should do, but just this once he should taste his own medicine, since his the producer"

"Have heard you"

Ibrahim loose all hope the moment he heard what Marmie said,at first he thought his delima had come to and end not knowing it's not. He just wished he was not that hostile towards her at first. If the incident that occurred in the office didn't happen in Daddy's front then just probably, he could have been lucky but destiny has it way. He promised to seek for her forgiveness and move on since she's already far away from his reach, Cox he couldn't take him self to have feelings towards his brother's wife. That will only caused damages and his happy he didn't tell Hadiza the name of the girl when they had there little conversation so it's safer for him to pretend for the time being.

Tehzeeb was sucking in AA room all alone. Her new routine was to pray, great Hajiya in the morning and eat sometimes. She made it a routine to read the Qur'an all the time because that's where she find serenity. She always feel calm and thus she made it mandatory to read it. At times her hand itch to call Bashir but she's restraining herself from doing that because she's married at it's Haram. She don't want to make it more difficult for both of them so she's keeping her space. Talking of marriage she had never heard anything about her so called husband but she didn't bother to ask because she could careless.

"Marmie I don't think it's will be a difficult case. So I will round it up and leave because Nawal will be resuming soon"

"Okay if you say so but have you informed your husband?" Marmie asked

"Yes I have and he gave his permission. Am sure by now Umaru could have gotten the court summons"

"Good. He has to bite more than he can chew,I wonder why Habiba left her all this while. If she had retaliated it's wouldn't have gone this far, but who are we to argue with what Allah have planned"

"True Marmie. When is bro coming back?" Hadiza asked

"Tomorrow, and if he comes back I will asked him to get them a house for there own peace of mind"

"Why will you do that?"

"Is that not what all ladies want now, not to leave with there mother in law's"

"It's not all of us. And I don't think the duo will agreed to your suggestion. So it's better you let them be, they can decide for themselves, you have already joined them together leave the rest for them please"

"Humm, have heard you. I just pray there relationship works out"

"They will In Sha Allah. Don't worry, it's will be a slow process but they will get there, I trust the both of them"

"Thank you" Marmie said

"It's okay marmie, don't stress yourself. Yours is just to seat and watch don't interfere in there business"

"I won't, I promised"

"Good. Then let's watch how there love life unfold.

"Me Aunty Me Aunty" Nawal said shouting from outside before she reaches Tehzeeb room which Tehzeeb smiled hearing her shouting her name even before her arrival. Nawal entered which Tehzeeb open her arms waiting for her to jump on her which she giggled happily. That brought smile to Tehzeeb face she loves children and can't wait to have hers.

Tehzeeb dressed in a mini skirt and crop top arranging her apartment neatly, putting incense every where, she has no idea of AA coming back today, so she connected her phone to the home theater speaker listing to the recitation of the Holy Qur'an Suratul At-Tawbah(Repentance).

Different kind of car but thesame colours of car lined up waiting for the gate to be opened for them, the gate man immediately open the gate knowing who is the owner of all this car which is none other than General Ashafa Alkali Ladan (AA) who is back with his escorts. Despite him not liking the idea of escort following him he has no option like before because his now a General and no General is to be roaming around with escort. Hajiya Kaltumi quickly ambled out because she misses him so much seeing him like this with escort brought tears to her eyes Cox he reminds her of her late husband "Son" she said hugging him

"Babe I missed you so much"

"I missed you too son" she said in a shaking voice before pulling away from him which he wiped her tears

"Babe stop this, you get emotional too easily. Please don't cry unless you want me to go back" AA said which marmie laughed and Deedee quickly come out and hugged her bro Cox she was in the toilet when they arrived

"My Lovely Bro" she said in-between the hugs

"God Deedee what is your husband feeding you like this, you're too big"

"Is that what you will say? No problem" Deedee said pouting

"Am sorry just joking. Where is my little princess?" AA asked

"She's sleeping, you know her with sleep. Let's go inside so you will eat"

"Yeah am ferminsh, I missed my babe cooking so much"

"Sorry General I cooked the food" Hadiza said laughing

"I will know after tasting the food" AA said going straight to the dinning table. He sat down and Marmie served him herself which he ate it singing because of how delicious the food is. "I need to bath. Please give my escort some food and if there's none I will give them some money. I need to changed" he left and walk out

"Marmie why did you not tell him?" Hadiza asked

"Let him find out, I know he will come back and meet us" Marmie reply.

Tehzeeb was in the room arranging her wardrobe which her back was facing the door so she didn't hear any sound. AA entered his part hearing the Qur'an recitation and the scent of the incense he breathe in because his in love with the scent already. He walked inside the room not bringing anything to his mind, he opened the door at thesame time Tehzeeb turned to pick the clothes she arranged on the bed and there eyes met which both of them keeps staring at each other before AA's eyes roam down her body which Tehzeeb recalled what she was wearing and screamed which AA quickly turned around quickly

"What the hell do you think you're doing in my room dressed like that?" AA shouted which Tehzeeb didn't stop screaming seeing his still in the room "will you just stop screaming and cover yourself or you want to damage my ear drum?"asked AA

"Just go out" Tehzeeb shouted not knowing what to do because she's confused

"Am not going anywhere, it's either you cover yourself or I turned, so we can talk or I force you out of my room? Choose wisely" Tehzeeb seeing AA don't want to go out and she won't like him to see her like this again quickly tied wrapper around her waist and put on her hijab, but didn't say anything untill AA speaks "am going to count from one to Five before I turned, if you're not through by then blame yourself. One" he stopped" two three four five" AA counted without waiting for her answered he turned "so you have dressed up and you don't have the mouth to tell me you're through?" He asked waiting for answer which he got none "what are you doing in my room? Wait who gave you the right to enter my room at the first place?" He asked a bit angry because he don't like seeing people in his room

"I think you should go and asked Marmie she has the best answer for you" Tehzeeb said continuing with her work

"Did you just talk back to me rudely or what?" Asked AA but Tehzeeb didn't answer "don't allow me to come there if not you will regret it" still no answer he was about to walk to her place when she screamed and that halt AA in his position "what's wrong with you with this screaming are you a baby or what?"he shouted "you know what let me go and call marmie. I think I deserved some answers" he left before Tehzeeb stop screaming
