Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 7
Ahmad.
âWallahi Ahmad when I held that baby I felt as if I was the one that delivered it, I felt as if I could hold it foreverâŠâ Naziha said as we got back into the car.
âYes, thatâs because the baby is yours too!â I blurted out igniting the engine into action. âWhat belongs to your sister belongs to you too, my loveâ I added.
âAhmad this is Sister Hannatuâs 5th child, I held the rest before but didnât felt anything like thisâŠâ She said.
âToh, maybe because our own is coming soonâ I smiled switching on the A/C.
âI hope soâ She heaved a sigh and relaxed as we drove awayâŠ
On reaching the junction of our area, some Joint Task officers stopped us. That was when I realised we were late. It was a combination of well armed Army, Police and Civil Defence Corps. I quickly lowered my wind-glassâŠ
âHi, Ogasâ I said with a gritted teeth.
âDonât you know that there is a curfew?â One of them asked.
âEhm, actually⊠yes, butâŠâ
âJust turn and go back to where youâre coming fromâ the officer boldly said.
âCome on man, Iâm the son of JaaâŠâ
âReverse back now!â
I tried to bribe through but to no avail, thus I turned and drove away from the scene. Anything that has to do with the army, donât expect it to be likely.
âWe can just find a hotel nearby and lodge in for the nightâ I suggested.
âWhat?â Naziha squealed. âNo, Ahmadâ
âWhy?â I puzzled.
âI donât like that idea, just drive us to Babaâs house. I missed mamaâ she said.
âWhat?â My heart flipped a little by the mentioning of âBabaâ which means my father, someone that didnât like her. I tried to change her mind but she was adamant, you practically know Naziha!
That was how we ended up in my fatherâs house, he wasnât that happy to see us but mother was. We chitchat for almost an hour before finally bidding each other goodnight. Naziha and I went to my old room, almost all my leftover things were intact. I smiled at my old gaming console and its controllers, I was hell of a gamer in the past. My friends and I would play FIFA 24-7, we hardly pray at the right timeâŠ
âCome over here, my lawful husbandâ
My thought was intercepted by Nazihaâs cool voice, she was already on the bed with her hijab thrown aside and herâŠ
âIt been a whole week, so donât tell me youâre tired todayâ She said sexily.
âOh, yesâ I smiled gently switching off the light, and the rest is historyâŠ
âŠ
The following day in the morning, while having breakfast in the dining island, my mother cleared her throat and broke the silence that had crept upon us ever since we started eatingâŠ
âNazihaâ She called out.
âNaâam, Mamaâ Naziha paused.
âI know this is a bit early for me to start asking question like this but, have you and Ahmad seen the doctor yet? This is 2 and half years since your marriageâ
âEhhmmâ I cleared my throat about to chime into their conversation when my father vehemently intrudedâŠ
âSheâs talking to your wife, not you!â
âOkeyâ I gulped and nodded.
Naziha looked me in the eyes, sadly, as if asking me to help her out. I only heaved a sigh and held her hand. âJust tell them the truth, my loveâ I said to her. I didnât want to see her tears so I turned my face away from her.
âIâm⊠Iâm childlessâ she said amidst sob after a moment of silence. âIâm sorry, Mamaâ she added as she quickly stood and left the dining in tears. She was going out, and I had to follow herâŠ
So I stood and glare at my father. âI know you did all this, but I promise you I will not divorce Naziha. I donât care if sheâs childless or not, I love her and will always love her!â I said and left.
âAhmad waitâŠâ
My mother tried to stop me but I pretended deaf ears. I ran out after Naziha to the parking lot, she was crying bitterly. I tried to embrace her but she kept pushing me away.
âCalm down please, NazihaâŠâ
âYou telling me to⊠to calm down?â
âYes please, we can see things throughâ
âNo!â She screamed.
âPlease stop all these,â I implored leaning my back on the car with my aching heart. âSeeing you like this makes me⊠makes me sickâ I said while panting.
Hearing that, she stopped and rushed to me. âHey,â she sniffed. âIâm sorryâ she gulped shaking her head. âIâm so sorry, I just donât want to loose you thatâs whyâŠâ
âYou wonât loose me, Nazihaâ I said getting hold of her hands. âI promiseâ
Uhmm, another chapterâŠ
