My Mistake - Episode 27

 

Alhaji Ibrahim looked at his only daughter who was sitting with her head ducked down in front of him.

"I want you to choose who you want to be with Aysha. I don't want to ever force you into getting married again. I want you to choose who you want to be with, who you want to spend the rest of your life with. Who do you want to be with? Abdallah or Omar?"

Aysha was still silent and her mom keeps getting agitated with each passing second of her silence.

"Look Alhaji, I've already made it clear that i want her to go back to her husband . There's no point in her marrying somoene whose character she isn't sure of and suffers again. We know who Fadeel is and we're sure he has repented, what more do we need? We shouldn't be selfish Alhaji." Her mom blabbered.

"Do you want to go back to your previous husband? Don't say yes if you don't want to cause your mom is saying so, choose what you want and be happy Aysha."

"Choose who  you think is worthy of me Dad, i leave the choice in your hand." She muttered slowly, still refusing to look up.

"I see" Alhaji Ibrahim said smiling "you can go, may Allah bless you Aysha. You'll be a married woman for the second time by the next two weeks In shaa Allah (God's willing)."

"Thank you dad" she replied as she stood up and left.

"I hope you take my advice into consideration Alhaji, i only want the best for our daughter too."

"We'll see what happens Hajiya" she replied smugly as he also stood up and adjusted his babban riga."

Amirah paced the room angrily as Fadeel ignored her and kept talking on phone, acting like she doesn't even exist right there.

"Don't worry beautiful, in two weeks time__you'll all be mine." He paused for a while before chuckling and continued "don't worry about that old hag, there's nothing she can do to you

. This time around, I'll make sure i won't give her a chance to mess up my life or yours. Okay bye."

"You talk as if I'm not there!" She roared angrily.

"What do you mean woman?"

"Who are you calling a hag? You and i both know you still do love me Fadeel, just stop pretending. And who is this mysterious woman you're getting married to that i don't know of?"

"Why don't you try finding out who she is?" He asked as he walked up to her "and for your information, i hate you more than anything right now and i hate your attitude and characters. I regret ever marrying you and letting you get between Aysha and i. But, as you can see___it'll soon come to an end cause I'm bringing someone you've never expected into this house as your co-wife."

"You're a liar Fadeel! You won't bring any woman into this house."

"We'll see about that babe" he replied with a smirk as he kissed her forehead and left. "Just two weeks remaining."

*TWO WEEKS LATER*

She looked at the henna designed on her hand and felt more tears spilling. Who is this husband of hers? Abdallah? Fadeel? Or someone else?

Had she made the right decision by giving the choice to her dad? What if he had choosen someone she can't cope with? It'll be one hell of a ride then.

Her phone beeped with an incoming message sound. Sighing loudly, she picked her phone up and read the message from an unknown number.

"As salaamu alaiki Habibatii. Well, to be more precise, you're now officially my wife. You happy? Cause I'm overjoyed right now. I wish us the best this new life can offer and i hope you'll learn to love me as much as i love you dearie. Welcome to my world Angel."
The water tank was let loose by her eyes as she let the tears run freely against her cheeks.

Read " Embedded Roses " by the same author ( Murjanatu Alkali )

. She's finally someone else's and nothing can change that except death.

"You crying on a happy day like this?" Fa'izah asked with her own tears in her eyes. You should be happy Aysha, happy about the new life being offered to you cause you deserve it. I'm 100% sure your husband will treat you like a princess and make you happy."

"I just can't believe i let Abdallah go just like that. I haven't been receiving his calls nor replying his messages throughout these days. Ever since i asked dad to choose my husband, i haven't been myself neither was i able to speak with him. You know how i feel right now? Like I've just made my life a living hell."

"Yoi shouldn't talk that way Aysha. You're better than this please. Now get ready, we're taking you to your husband's house."

"I hope i can endure seeing his face. I really do hope i can."

I love cliffhangers, lol. Don't worry, next chapter is coming up tomorrow. Any guess about who the husband is?
