My Mistake - Episode 16

 

It has happened and she couldn't stop it___there was nothing she could do about it. Amirah was officially her huband's wife since yesterday. They slept together, in her husband's room, the room she had always loved__always cherished.

She wiped the lone tear that escaped her eye as she looked outside the window of her messy room. Its been a week since she last swept it talk more of mopping . To her, sweeping or mopping the room is of no use since she has lost Fadeel to her friend. Fadeel is a hypocrite. She remembered how he was smiling broadly when he came home the other night. He didn't smile that way the day she was conveyed to his house.

She just couldn't believe that she has finally lost him. Her mother had tried her best to make her understand and accept the marriage just the way it happened. Her crying won't changea thing. Fa'izah also tried her best, but Aysha turned a blind ear to all their advice. She feel betrayed___she feel cheated.

The loud bang on her door brought her back from her reverie. She stood up not bothering to ask who it was and unlocked the door. She came face to face with Amirah, glowing brightly in the morning glory of her wedding morning. She was dressed in blue and black ankara sewed into a skirt and a tight fitted blouse

. She looked stunning, Aysha must agree with that.

"Good morning Aysha. Darling said to call you." Amirah said slowly as she looked at Aysha like a disgusting piece of shit.

"Aren't you ashamed of yourself?" Aysha finally braced up and asked.

"Ashamed of?" Amirah asked pretending to be confused.

Aysha couldn't stop herself from grabbing Amirah by the neck and pinning her to the wall opposite her room "don't you dare okay dumb with me. You and i both know what am talking about. Aren't you ashamed of yourself? You married your best friend's husband for goodness sake!" She yelled clearly pissed.

"So?" Amirah asked as she pushed her away from her making Aysha all in the process due to how built and heavy Amirah was. "Have i told you how amazing he was in bed? I bet he was never that nice to you like he was to me. Fadeel loves me not you___and he's only tolerating you because i asked him to. I want to see you suffer__i want to see you having sleepless nights___i want you to see me take everything you've ever had__everything you've ever loved. I'll take them all Aysha___this is a promise from to you."

Aysha cried as tears rolled down her cheeks. "Don't do this to me Amirah__we were friends for goodness sake___what happened to our beautiful relationship?"

"There was never a beautiful relationship between us. I've always envied what you had....always wanted you you have and now I've finally started taking them one after the other. Just wait and see how i make your life a living hell woman."

"Sweetheart." They both heard Fadeel calling as he approached the way to Aysha's room. Amirah quickly helped Aysha up as she went down and curl up into a ball before yelling loudly.

"Wayyo Allah na shiga uku! (O my God, i am doomed!) Are you trying to kill me? What have i ever done to you? Was it because i married your husband? Aysha why will you hit me this way please." She was crying loudly and one would easily believe the fact that Aysha really did what she was accusing her of.

Aysha was baffled and couldn't even move. What type of witch is Amirah? Before she could comprehend the situation Fadeel was already by Amirah's side helping her up "tell me, what did the witch do to you? What did the stupid woman do to you?"

"I never knew she hated the idea of you marrying me with so much passion" Amirah started as she held Fadeel tightly in her arms "i wouldn't have agreed to marry you. And now I'm getting beaten by your wife just because she hates me. Fadeel i think I'll just go pack my bags and leave before she kills me one day." She was sobbing so hard, her face already red from her fake tears.

"What? No you can't leave because she doesn't want you here. I want you here and you know i love you more than i love her. Please don't go." He let go of her slowly and turned towards Aysha who was too stunned to even move and was watching the drama before her. Without any warning whatsoever, She felt her both hee cheeks tingling with sharp pain from the impact of the two resounding slaps he gave her.

"How dare you lay your filthy hands on my wife? How dare you Aysha? Don't you know you're still in this house because of her? This should be the very first and last time you raise those filthy hands on my face else I'll make you pay dearly" he then turn to Amirah who was still crying and took her hands in his.

"Its okay Sweetheart, please forgive her___i apologize on her behalf."

"You shouldn't have slapped her" Amirah said resting her head on his chest "don't do it again please okay? You know i love you so much."

"I love you more sweetheart" and he kissed her passionately right before Aysha's eyes.

"I'm hungry" she said after breaking the kiss.

"Ohh, yeah. I almost forgot" he then turned to Aysha and pointed a finger at her "you will be the one cooking and cleaning this house. You are to cook whatever it is she wants. You are to also clean the house including her room and also wash her underwears and mine like you've been doing. Aysha don't you dare miss any of  the things i mentioned___don't try my patience by skipping any of them else you'll face my wrath.

. Am i clear?"

"Y..e...y...sss" she replied tears running down her cheeks.

"Now make breakfast cause my wife is already hungry__and don't keep us waiting."

She nodded her head and looked at Amirah who smirked at her before she left. Is this how her life will be now? A cook and chef in her own house? She'll clearly be just like a maid to her husband's second wife. This wasn't how she thought her life will ever be like.

*

*TWO WEEKS LATER*

She was denied her sleeping rights, denied her husband__denied her rights to live as a wife in her own house. She's just a maid and nothing more___and gradually, she had come to accept that.

It was a sunny monday afternoon and she was yet to finish her chores before Fadeel comes back. She quickly arranged the dinning like she always did before going back to the kitchen to clean the dishes and take a quick bath. As she came out from the kitchen, she saw Amirah devouring the food. She looked away and went to her room, took a quick shower and fell on her bed with only a towel tied. As tired as she was___she slept off.

The sharp pain on her back woke her up with a sudden jack. What the hell was that? She wondered. Turning and looking behind her, she came across the angry face of Fadeel with a belt in his hand. There and then, she knew that___whatever it is Amirah told him has got him riled up___and nothing, absolutely nothing will save her from his beatings today.
