My Priceless Jewel - Episode 17

 

"Juwai!!!" Arfaat shouted shaking her so hard.

     "Juwai, Juwai don't do this to me. We have a future ahead of us, we have a daughter now....please don't do this!" Arfaat said breaking into tears.

  "What happened to my daughter? Don't tell me she's dead doctor". Alhaji Abbas said trying to free Juwai from Arfaat's grip.

     "We need some time alone with her please . You all should go out". The doctor said addressing Arfaat and Alhaji Abbas. 

"Doctor, i want to stay. I have to stay" Arfaat said still holding Juwairiyyah tight in his hands.
    "She's bleeding alot doctor, we have to act fast". Said one of the nurses.

"This time around, you are getting out of here!"

     It's been three hours, there is still no news about juwairiyyah, none of the doctors and nurses attending to her came out. Arfaat is beginning to loose his senses, he didn't even care to look at his beautiful baby, who looks exactly like juwairiyyah with nothing of resemblance with him. All his thoughts are what he's gonna do if he lost Juwairiyyah.

He admits that she's stupid and naive, but he also loves her

. He's madly and craxily in love with her, Juwairiyyah has to make it. They have a future ahead of them, a very bright future.

   
     "Dan mama, sit down and spare us your ups and downs!" Mai Kunu snapped.

"Come here Arfaat, come sit close to me and have a look at your daughter". Said Hajiya Azumi.

     "No, i don't want to see her yet. I only want t....."

"Doctor, doctor how is she?". Alhaji Abbas said as soon as he saw one of the doctors coming out, which was why Arfaat caught of his speech and went straight to the doctor.

         "Doctor, can we please see her? I hope she's okay" Said Arfaat eagerly.

"We've managed to stop the bleeding and save her, but she has lost a lot of blood and will need someone to donate his/her blood or we get one from our lab. She's unconscious right now" Explained the doctor.

"I'll donate mine if it'll help, but can we see her?" Arfaat asked again.

     "Noo you can't, she needs to rest. Let's know your blood group first."

Juwairiyyah was unconscious for 38hrs, and by the time she woke up, they were all there.

. Standing close to the bed was arfaat, who didn't bulge since they were given the chance to see her. He feels as if, the moment he leaves her side he's not going to lose her.

    "Juwai, Juwai can you see me?". Arfaat asked moving so close to her.

 "Mom". Juwairiyyah murmured tears rolling down her cheeks___"I love you mom, this was how you suffered before bringing me into this world, what can i ever do to repay you mom? What can i??" Juwairiyyah said again, this time around hugging her mom so tight.

      "Shhhhhhh...". Said her mom petting her on her head....."Keep quite angel, i love you so much and am happy you still here with me" Said her mom crying too.

     It's been three days since Juwairiyyah came back home, but something seems odd cuz she don't seem to care about arfaat nor show she knows he's always there for her. She only greats or answer his greatings if an elder is close by. She laughs and smile at others but not with arfaat. The very moment she see's him, she screw her face up and won't laugh nor even smile at him.

   "Angona ya iso (My groom has arrived)" Hajiya azumi said in a cheerful manner as soon as Arfaat stepped into the living room.

"Nifa banson tsohowa (I don't like old women), na one fine girl i see" Arfaat said teasingly.

    "Ahap, da tsohuwar zuma ake ado aii (Whoa! old women rock), am still the best. You can bring three more, I'll still be your shining star."

"A hakan?(Like this?) Tun yaushe na shigo ko ruwa kinqi bani insha (You didn't even offer me a glass of water since i arrived)"

    "OMG, am coming back right now with it angona". Said Hajiya Azumi going out of the living room.

Arfaat sat in the chair opposite juwairiyyah, looking at her and admiring how beautiful she looked.
    "Juwai, mena miki ne? (What is it I've done?)" Arfaat asked.

She didn't even bother to look up at him, nor give the impression that she heared what he said.

"Juwai am talking to you please."

    "Just let me be dan Allah, am not in the mood to talk to you."

"Fine, lemme see my baby then."

     "When did she become your baby? I thought you told my parents you are not her father?" 

"But you and i know i am the father."

    "Repeat what you just said arfaat! Did i hear you right? Did you just say you are the baby's real father?"

"Of course not Hajiya! He can never be the father if my daughter, he knows the baby's father. But he Arfaat is not her father."
