"What the hell was that you cooked and gave us Aysha?" Fadeel asked angrily. He was fuming with anger and Aysha was sure that if she wasn't careful, that belt will land on her for the second time and on and on and on....

"I...i...c..c..o..o..ke...d..l..i...ke..i..i..al...wa...y..sss..d..iii...d" she stuttered.

"With that pepper? Did you use all the pepper i bought yesterday in that food? Are you planning to kill us? I never knew you were this wicked and i hate you more with each stunt you pull. The more you try to hurt her___the more i hate you . Haven't you realized that yet?"

"I did nothing wrong Fadeel, i saw her eating the food before i retired to my room. Believe me i did nothing of what i was been accused of. Why do you believe her more than me?"

"Because i don't trust you. I know you're looking for a way to get rid of her__but I won't sit back and watch you do that. Don't push me to my limits Aysha and make me send you out packing, cause trust me I'll soon do that you godforsaken barren of a thing!" He was shaking and also trying to hold himself back not to beat the hell out of his wife.

It hurts, and her heart tugged loudly against her ribcage. A godforsaken barren of a thing? Seriously?

"Enough of all these Fadeel! Enough is enough!" Aysha snapped angrily as she stood up, holding the towel around her body so tight "what have i ever done to deserve such treatment? I am also your wife, and i deserve some respect from both you and your wife" she paused, breathing heavily "All I've ever did was to love you, to do everything you've always wanted

. I took pregnancy pills cause you asked me to__i took them to make you happy. And now you are calling me a barren. All i did was love you and nothing more. Why am i always at the receiving end? Why? Why?" She held him by his shirt and pulled him close to her "look into my eyes and tell me you don't see how much i love you___look."

Fadeel went stiff, absorbing what Aysha just said. His body went cold as she laid her head on his chest crying so hard. When was the last time he held her in his arms like this? Can't really remember.

Amirah, who had been standing behind them all these while noticed that Aysha's words affected Fadeel. She quickly pushed away from the door and yelled loudly "My lips feels like they are set on fire. Aysha what have i done to you?"

Fadeel quickly pushed Aysha away from him and ran towards Amirah who was crying furiously.

"Am so sorry sweetheart, I've warned her, she won't repeat such thing again okay? Now let's go to MacDonald and get you something to eat. And they left, leaving behind a heartbroken Aysha, as her heart crumbled again for the up tenth time since Amirah came into the house.

Maybe she's finally loosing Fadeel to Amirah__or maybe she has already lost him to her without accepting the fact that she did.

Days rolled by, from days to weeks and months. Its been eight months since Amirah stepped into that house and nothing had changed. Things are still the way they are, or better yet__gotten worst to the extent that Aysha wash not only Amirah's underwears but also her clothes. She's just a typical housemaid in her own house.

The worst of all this is that she kept everything to herself, not sharing it with anyone outside and always appearing to the outsiders like everything is alright. Slowly, Aysha is getting emotionally drenched without knowing the harm she's causing herself.

Amirah had hoped that she'll get pregnant in the first three months of her marriage, but that prove wrong when still at the eighth month of her marriage, she's yet to conceive. Will Fadeel also get tired of her with time or what? She wondered. Deciding to get pregnant by hook or crook___either real or fake, she decided on one thing, to fake her pregnancy!

She puts the plan into action the next two days and kept pretending to be sick, throwing up with only water in her mouth after closing the toilet and faking fever and headaches. Finally deciding that today is the day she annouce her pregnancy, she took a shower and dressed up beautifully before sitting in the living room and waiting for Fadeel.

Aysha saw her but paid no heed to her as she continued with her chores. Even after Amirah kept throwing words at her, Aysha still didn't say a word. And as she was about to leave the living room, Fadeel came back___and Aysha watched as the two of them embraced and kissed each other. She yearns for her husband touch, she yearn to feel his hands around her. But when will he learn to accept that they both are his wives. She turned away as she heard Amirah whispering something to Fadeel.

"What? You mean I'm gonna be a dad? Seriously?" She heard him ask happily and halted without even knowing when she did.

"Yes Darling. I am pregnant with our baby__ours and only ours." Amirah replied rubbing her flat tummy.
Fadeel took her in his arms and danced happily "thank you so much Sweetheart, thank you__thank you. I love you so much."

"I love you too Darling."

She felt tears rolling down her cheeks and she quickly turned and left.

. Is this how her life will be now? No husband and no child? Why? Just why?

She broke down completely and feel flat on her bed. Deep inside, she knows that Fadeel will soon let her go___forever. But can she handle it?

*


It's been a month since Amirah faked her pregnancy and the work load on Aysha increased. She'll cook more than four times a day and Amirah will say she can't eat it, even after choosing the food herself. Aysha was becoming more and more depressed, her emotions drenching slowly.

It was a bright Wednesday morning and Amirah had left early claiming she's going for anti-natal. Fadeel offered to take her but she declined telling him to just go to work. Aysha was the only one at home (or at least that was what she thought) as she went to and fro in an attempt to clean the house. She was clad i a short bumpy jean short and a white vest. Her hair swept to the left. She looked stunning even with the dark circles under her eyes.

Fadeel stepped into the kitchen to grab a bottle of water and his eyes caught up with her curvy body. How much has he missed that? And without wasting time, he bent down and took his wife to his room__little did they both know that, that encounter will lead to something they've never thought of.

    Check you write up through before posting or get someone to for you. Check the grammar abd expression please eg you have written " All I have ever did was to love you". This should read all I ever did was to love you or all I have ever done was to love you. Again, I believe you meant "she fell flat on her bed and not feel flat on her bed". You have a beautiful and captivating story going but please edit. I hope it's not going to be a long wait for the next episode.

    @jennifer. Thank you, but i seriously do have a tight schedule. Am still writing my exams which am due to finish on the 30th of this month. I only squeeze to update cause you guys have been complaining. If you'd like to be the editor then i wouldn't mind___but as for me, i can't do that cause i have to study for my exams. Or maybe, you all let me have my time and finish my exams before i continue with the story. Thank you.

    Mk, comments are to help you improve not to criticize your effort. It's a shame you are taking it otherwise. If you can not take this constructively then how do you improve? We learn each day and to be the best one has to be receptive to advice. Think about it, will you be encouraged if people just read your stories and don't comment?

We learn each day and to be the best one has to be receptive to advice. Sometimes it difficult to take them but if you do it takes you far. Even with your academic work the difference between good and excellent may be one mark and just proof reading ones work can earn you that. Think about it, will you be encouraged if people just read your stories and don't comment?

    Wow! There's no reason for you to take it personal my dear. I only explained how busy i am and asked if you want to be editing the chapters. I don't see what say so bad here in trying to explain myself. Please always digest what people say before jumping to conclusion. I said nothing here other than appreciate your thoughts and said "I wouldn't mind if you'd like to edit them". Thank you.
