From The Eyes Of A Spinster - Episode 2

 

The night was silent, one could only hear the sound of night whispers and the wind blowing. Its already 9:00pm and mama Rabi was yet to be back, Habeeb and Amirah (their house help) where the only ones at home with the triplets. 

For sakinah, this was the worst day of her life. She couldn't even seat upright and Yaya Habeeb had to carry her back to her room claiming that she hit her leg and can't walk. Habeeb, knowing few things about drugs gave her some drugs and ask her to sleep...not forgetting to threaten her again.

She closed her eyes and try to sleep only to wake up with a jolt and the fear that Habeeb is coming back any moment from now to repeat what he did to her few hours ago.

Habeeb didn't even consider her age or she's new to that particular thing . She has been in his room for almost three hours doing nothing but what he has already started. Enjoying her cries and whimpers which send shivers down his spine and make him enjoy it more. It was her first time, and she's just a child...but he didn't consider those facts. What mattered was his satisfaction!.

Nafisa and Safina sat in the living room together with Habeeb and Amirah.

"When is mama coming back?" Nafisa asked.

"She called and said she can't make it today till tomorrow. So don't wait up for her and go to bed" he replied coldly.

"How is sakinah feeling?" Safina asked, from her voice.

. One could note the amount of care lased in it.

"She's okay. Amirah" he called turning his gaze to her "sleep with Safina and Nafisa, I'll take Care of Sakinah."

"I can take Care of them all, don't worry sir."

"I insist. Her fever is burning up. I'll handle it."

"Okay sir. Girls, let's get going."

And with that, she took the girls to their room while Habeeb took Sakinah to his. Sakinah Happened to be chubby, possessing prominent body features that aroused him. And her being the careless and free child, would walk around the house in panties some times. The first time the idea of making Sakinah his popped his mind was three years back when he saw them bathing together with his cousins; Sule, Sani and Isah (Maternal cousins).

"Wash my back for me sani" sakinah said giving him the sponge. The six kids were undressed and were taking their bath in the triplet's bathroom. The parents not caring that the other kids and boys and are older than the girls with three years. To them, the kids were only having fun.

"When will this your oranges start growing?" Sani asked touching one of sakinah's b**bs.

"Who told you they are called oranges?" Nafisa asked.

"Well, we call them oranges because we don't want ummi and Abbah to understand what we are talking about. There's this cartoon we watched and we saw it and just named them oranges" sule explained.

"Maybe when am old enough. Don't worry, when they start growing I'll show you". Sakinah replied.

"or maybe we can go outside and plug oranges for you then they'll look like they've grown. Shikenan!" Isah chirped in.

"Sani, hug sakinah, you isah go and hug nafisa while i hug safina and we wash each other like that. " Sule explained. And that's how they bathed, and when they where done playing, the six of them hugged each other and stood in the shower, allowing the water to pour on them. All the while, habeeb was standing by the door looking at them and that was when the idea started developing in him.

After the bath, the kids got dressed and went out to their play ground where they arranged another type of play.

"Sakinah will be my wife, sani you take safina while isah should take nafisa. We'll have our homes and we'll be visiting each other".

"I'll love this. You know what, let's get under a cover and sleep like ummi and Abbah use to do" Isah suggested.

"Yes, exactly. And we can kiss them since they are our wives and also hug them. Then we get under the covers and sleep and sometimes roll and roll" sule added.

Subhannallah! This is a big mess! Parents, beware of what you do around your kids...they are AMANAH!

She yelped and jumped up shouting with all her might. For the past three weeks, this had been Sakinah's daily routine, not being able to sleep out of fear and during those three weeks Habeeb had been intimate with her three times. She never dared to open her mouth and tell anyone out of fear of what he might do to het. Even Though their parents were back already, that didn't stop Habeeb from getting his ways. The Hausa have a saying; "Me son abunka ya fika dabara" (one who wants what belongs to you, always finds a way to possess it.)

"Sakinah, are you okay?" Hajiya Siyamah asked.

"I..i..ca..c.." She tried speaking but couldn't. The words won't just come out and she hiccups.

"Let me get you a glass of water" she said before rushing to the kitchen.

"Here, drink the water and calm down please". She drank the water and then hugged her mom so tight.

"Tell me what happened" hajiya siyamah asked slowly.

Maybe i should just tell her

No! Don't forget his warnings girl

Can he really kill me?

Then try him!.

It was a battle with her subconscious.

"Am okay. I just had a bad dream" she replied

"You didn't recite the azkar before sleeping right?".

"I did". Came her slow reply "just hold me in your arms and let me sleep with you".

"Sure. Sleep baby" she cooed. And Sakinah, feeling her mother's warmness feel into a deep slumber.

"Why aren't you sitting beside Habeeb today?" Alhaji bello asked sakinah. The whole family was seated at the grand dining table, to have breakfast.

"She switched seats with Nafisa yesterday" Mama Rabi answered.

"I guess you guys are fighting kenan. in banda abunki wake fada da yayanshi?" Alhaji Bello asked teasing his daughter

"I just want to seat close to mama from now on" sakinah replied "When are you leaving?"

"At noon In Shaa Allah. What do you want me to buy for you girls?" He asked.

"I want nothing. Just go alone this time and leave mom behind. We are missing her a lot these days" Sakinah said not meeting Habeeb's intense gaze.

"You have mama with you girls mana" their dad tried arguing.

"Mama is heavy and needs to rest. Please just leave mom behind" Nafisa pleaded.

"I promise you girls, this will be the last time i travel. But right now i have to go with him, its just for three days don't worry".

Tears welled up in Sakinah's eyes. if only her mom will spare her a glance and notice her pains. If only she would notice what she's going through and what is going on with her life, then she wouldn't have made the mistake of gravelling that day. Because, that was the worst day of her life!.

They came back from school tired and exhausted. Sakinah has always cheerful and the most stubborn amongst her siblings, but now....things Had changed as she always isolate herself alone and cried her eyes out. Even her teachers noticed the change in her.

"Girls, am too tired today. Will you do me the favor of being good girls and let me sleep?".

"Sure mama, Get well soon". Nafisa said hugging her.

"May God bless you all". she replied.

"Amiin yaa rabbi!" They chorused together.

"Let's go to the play ground" Safina said as soon as Mama Rabi left for her room.

"I will be in our room.

. You girls can have fun" Sakinah said standing up.

"Wai what's wrong with you these days?! Nafisa asked angrily.

"I don't know, i just want to be left alone" Sakinah answered and left the living room. Her sisters followed her steps with their gaze. This is not the Sakinah they knew, shrugging, they felt its okay if they gave her some space.

Habeeb who Had been sitting on the dining table acting like he didn't know what is going on went to their room as soon as the two sisters were out of sight.

"Sakinah" he called slowly when he saw her laying down "Let's go to my room."

"I don't want to go. Please let me be" sakinah begged in tears.

"Either you stand up and follow me or i slit your throat right now!" He barked, grabbing her neck and placing the blade on her neck.

"It pains yaya, dan Allah ka kyaleni (Please, leave me alone)."

"Don't make me lose my temper Sakinah. Stand up right now" he said again, pressing the knife to her neck so hard.

Having no other choice, Sakinah stood up and followed him. And today, instead of fingering her like he always did, Habeeb took away her virginity.

From that day onwards, sakinah made a mental note that guys are the worst creation in the whole universe. They are heartless and selfish. self centered bastards and the only thing that matters to them is their pleasure. From that day onwards, Sakinah's life changed!

***

I hate writing emotional scenes, but one has to touch reality sometimes no matter what. You know, and i know that things like this happens and are very common in our society, so why don't we join our hands and create awareness in our society? May Allah see us through.

And this chapter is dedicated to every single lady out there who has faced a life like this. Remember, everything happens for a reason and in shaa Allah you'll pass through this phrase.

 With love
