My Priceless Jewel - Episode 8

 

"........please let me MARRY JUWAIRIYYAH!" said Arfaat.

   "And who do you think you are? Does she look like a piece of gabbage to you? Is she a toy? Or a machine?? Tell me Arfaat, you jerk!".  Said Alhaji Abbas punching Arfaat so hard.

   "Listen to me Alhaji, this marriage is a contract marraige, i'll marry Juwairiyyah for three months only, am doing this to help you all."

      "Weren't you the cause of everything you son of a bitch!, you helping us or helping yourself? Officers, take this fool out of my sight!" Said Alhaji Abbas angrily.

 "Noo Alhaji, listen to me, i can marry a wife tomorrow if i wish to, even if this issue goes out, i can still marry a decent girl and live happily. You think that would be thesame for Juwairiyyah?" Arfaat asked chosing his words carefully.

"Stand back" . Said Alhaji Abbas to the police officers. Yeah, Arfaat is right__ once this issue is out, Juwairiyyah will be the talk of the town. Dammit, Arfaat has ruined them all. He turned and look at Arfaat, who still stood still at the middle of the sitting room with a swollen face.

   "Tell me about the plan you have in mind" Alhaji Abbas said slowly.

A smile of victory beamed over at Arfaat's face. It was hard getting her dad to approve to a thing like that.

   "Well, what i have in mind is simple, i agree that i raped her, so instead of her walking around the street raped i think its better if i marry her for some months, later on each of us can go his/her seprate ways

. I think its more better if she's called a divorcée than to live as a raped lady with no respect at all in the eyes of others" He explained.

The guy surely knows what he's doing, Alhaji Abbas thought, but he is right all thesame, no one will want to marry Juwairiyyah the way she is now, raped! By an imbecile!

"I'll think about things and call you tomorrow, but believe you me Arfaat, don't even try running out of town, cause am going to get you wherever you go. I promise you that."

Arfaat gave out a lazy smile before saying...
  "Am a man of my words Alhaji, I'll marry Juwairiyyah once you say yes to it. I promise."

Arfaat stood at the entrance of their three bedroomed flat, thinking so hard. How is he going to explain something as odd as this to his mom? How Will she take it? Naah! The best him for him to do is keep his mouth shut! He won't let her know a thing like this. But Juwairiyyah is surely going to pay, even after his death, she's gonna kiss his grave in obedience.

   "Salaamu alaikoom, mama am back."

"Welcome back Yaa Arfaat...... OMG! what happened to your face Yaa Arfaat?" Asked khadeejah looking at him curiously.

     Arfaat's heart skipped a beat, he has even forgotten about the punches he received from Alhaji Abbas. O God, what is he going to tell them now? He turned slowly and looked at mai kunu who is sitting on a wodden chair, in front of her is a bucket if millet, which she was washing before he came in.

   "Dan mama answer her, what happened to you? Were you into a fight again?" Mai kunu asked.

   "A'a mama, i was only trying to stop some guys from fighting, i then received some punches in the process". Arfaat lied.

Mai kunu only looked at him for a while before going on with her work. Arfaat knew what that mean, she didn't believe his story, well this time around she has to, cause he's not going to tell her something as stupid as what happened earlier.

"Did i hear you right Alhaji? What do you mean by what you just said?". Asked Hajiya Raliya shocked.

   "You heard me right ummu Juwai, Arfaat is the right person to marry Juwairiyyah at a stage like this. Let's go with the flow. But i promise you, as Juwairiyyah's father and Raliya's husband, Arfaat is going to pay for what he did. But that will be after the divorce. Trust me dear."

   Hajiya Raliya couldn't control her tears, she burst out into tears resting her head on her husband's chest.

   "Yaron nan ya cucemu Alhaji, i hate him a lot.

       "Shhhh.... Take it easy, stop crying please."

"Uwani! Uwani!! Nikam kina ina wai?". Shouted Juwairiyyah.

Mama uwani came into the room hurrying, carrying a tray of chicken pepper soup.

"You are very stupid uwani, wannan ai iskanci ne. How dare you keep me waiting this long? Am i a piece of gabbage to you or what? Ko rainin ne ya fara yawa?".

   "Am soo sorry yar nan, please forgive me it won't repeat itself again". Said mama uwani pleadingly.

  "What are you waiting for standing there? Lemme have my food you dirty old woman". Snapped Juwairiyyah.

Uwani moved close to Juwairiyyah and kept the tray, her eyes filled with tears, Juwairiyyah is really getting out of hand. Someone must put her in her right place!. She turned slowly finding her way out of the room when juwairiyyah called her back again.

   "Uwani! Come back here you bitch, what the hell is this you gave me? You call this pepper soup? Uwani kin raina ni koh?. Come here."

Uwani moved closer, her legs shaking out of fear of what Juwairiyyah might do to her this time. She kneeled down slowly in front if Juwairiyyah praying silently in her mind.

Without knowing or expecting it, juwairiyyah poured all the chicken pepper soup which is still very hot at poor Uwani's body.

 "Yaa salaam!" Said Hajiya Azumi who was just coming into the room.
