My Mistake - Episode 24

 

"You've got to be kidding me Aysha!" Fa'izah snapped angrily "you're even considering going back to Fadeel? For what? Just to hurt Amirah? Aysha you're not serious."

They were both sitting by the side of Fa'izah's bed. She knew that something like this will happen, she knew Fa'izah will never support her new plan. She also knew it'll be hard for her to do what she planned.

Is Fadeel even worth it? She wondered.

"I still do love him you know" she murmured sadly.

"You still do? Like seriously? After everything he made you go through? You're not serious Aysha" Fa'izah was already angry at how Aysha is acting . How could someone be this dumb? She wondered. Why kill yourself twice when you have the chance to save yourself?

She stood up angrily and made for the door, but Aysha quickly stopped her.

"I'm sorry, i know I'm stupid for still loving him. But what can i do about it?" She asked sadly.

"Give Abdallah a chance. That man is madly in love with you, he loves you and you know it. And i also know you like him if not more. You're just still in love with the idea of Fadeel and not him. Trust me Aysha, you're over that so called, give Fadeel a chance and see."

Is she really over Fadeel?

"Hmmmn, i don't want this fragile heart of mine to break again

. Fa'izah I'm scared, i don't want to fall in love with Abdallah so bad that he'll break it again."

"Have you given him a chance to know if he will or not?"

"Fadeel never showed me that side of him before marriage, yet he broke and shattered my heart. Its not that easy to trust again Fa'izah."

Fa'izah inhaled a deep breath. It'll be too hard to make Aysha fall for Abdallah then, if she still hold unto what happened between her and Fadeel, then Abdallah has a big work ahead of him.

"Do you trust me?" She suddenly asked Aysha.

"Yes. Why ask a silly question like that" Aysha said smacking Fa'izah by the shoulder.

"Then give Abdallah a chance. Trust me and accept him."

"Hmmn"

"Please Aysha. Just forget about Fadeel and move on okay? You can do it."

"I'll try" she answered, her shoulders slumping down.

"Yes!" Fa'izah yelled happily "now please call him. I'm very sure you've never called him ever since he professed his love for you."

"And why should i call him? He'll think i love him already."

"Don't you?" Fa'izah nudged her.

"I don't miss!" She replied smiling.

"Here" Fa'izah said passing her phone to her "just take your phone and call him miss."

"What do you want me to say to him?" Aysha asked whining.

"Anything. Just call him, I'll be in the living room."

She smiled as she looked at the retiring figure of Fa'izah before dialing Abdallah's number. It rang only once before she heard him pick up.

"To what do i owe this pleasure Princess."

Aysha thought she blushed. If only she's not black, then she would've believed that she really did blushed.

"Good afternoon." She greeted him slowly.

"Afternoon Princess. How are you?"

"Fine, Alhamdulillah. How's work?'

"Work is fine. Resting at home today."

"Hmmn, i see. Weekend is doing justice aye?"

"You're very right Princess. Having you call me has definitely made my weekend. This is the first___and you don't know how happy you've made me this afternoon."

"Hmmmn."

"I love you Aysha, you know i do. Am i still not worthy of your love?"

"I never said that. I only call to say hi. Have a nice day."

"I'll come see you later princess. I love you."

Abdallah, the son of Malam Shehu Umar was Mohammed's friend (Fa'izah's husband). He and Mohammed are close friends, he was out of the country when Mohammed and Fa'izah got married. He is the third son of his family and also a banker.

He is a bachelor and had never married.

. Aysha being a divorcée means nothing to him, he loves her and only her.

*TWO MONTHS LATER*

She smiled like a loon as she read his next message.

_"I wish i could see your face right now, i bet you just blushed."_ AB

_"Duh! Your words won't get the better of me My king_" Aysha.

_"You think so? Do you know you're beautiful? Like very very beautiful Princess_" AB

_"I love you my King."_ Aysha.

_"I love you more princess. Take care okay?"_ AB.

"Amirah am hungry please" Fadeel whined.

"Do i look like a cook to you?" Amirah yelled standing by his side "I'm not like Aysha, i won't let you turn me into a house help mister. Stupid infertile man."

"What did you just call me? He asked angrily his eyes red with anger "what did you just call me Amirah?"

"Infertile man, Fadeel you're infertile!"

He quickly removed his belt and started beating her "you and i both know i am not an impotent. Aysha was pregnant before she left. We all know you're the barren here Amirah. You and no one but you!"

He was beating her as hard as he could with no mercy whatsoever. He didn't stop till he noticed she can't move.

Amirah surely messed up today!

"Don't tell me you're planning to marry that girl Abdallah." Mama Ramatu started as she looked at Abdallah who was squatting in front of her.

"In shaa Allah (God's willing) Mama."

"But she's a divorcée Abdallah. I heard she was once married."

"Does that matter Mama?" Abdallah asked annoyingly.

"Of course it does. This is the first time you're getting married son. How can you marry a divorcée?"

"But its her I love Mama."

"A divorcée?"

"Is a divorcée not a woman?"

"I'm not in support of this Abdallah. I won't support this nonsense okay?"
