Summayah and others are ready to go to the praying ground for their Eid prayers. Maryam was the only one remaining, she went out with the bus that distribute foods and clothes so that they can eat before going to pray.Uthman was already impatient since the time to pray was just few minutes. 

Uthman:I wonder how women dress up, it takes hours. She knows there is a little time left and i don't want to be late for Eid. 

Hadizah:Sabr dear, you know she was out early this morning if not, she would have dressed up already. 

Uthman:I know and that is the main reason i am still here . Iman, please check her up for me. 

Imán:Okay.

(Imán was already out of the car when she came running.) 

Maryam:I am here already, sorry for the delay guys. 

Uthman:Just sit, i need to leave. 

(He zoomed off after she entered and in no time they got to the praying ground since there was no traffic on the way. They sat quietly on the mat after making their ablutions, listening to the sermon. They finished their prayers, praying to Allah for more of this beautiful day and joyous moments in their life.To those who are in distress and countries that are in agony.) 

Hadizah:Summayah.

Summayah:Yes mother. 

Hadizah:I pray you are always happy all your life, your baby will be the coolness of your eyes. May you get to witness more of Ramadan with us all, i love you for the sake of Allah. 

Summayah:Amin and i love you more for the sake of the same creator we both bow down to

. May your smile never leave your face and others. 

Hadizah:Amin Ya Rabb. 

(Fadilah and Maryam joined them, they took some pictures together, they laughed and made funny faces.)

Fadilah:Grandma, where are we going to have fun. 

Hadizah:Arrangements has been made, we would all go there and have fun. 

Summayah:You have a lot of food to eat, drink too. A lot of refreshments from us all because it is going to be free. 

Fadilah:Yay.

Hadizah:They must be waiting for us, i don't want to see an upset uthman right now. 

Summayah and Maryam laughed. They all went to the parking area and got into the car. 

******
Fadilah ran out of the car when they got to the amusement park, those buses that was to bring people from different places were already getting children out of their bus. Seeing a lot of children happy made her happy, some of the didn't have the privilege to get this kind of enjoyment. Today, they will get to have fun and worry less. 

Fadilah:Mother,let's go.

Summayah:I won't be able to get into any of the ride. I will feel dizzy, i am also scared of heights. I will just stay here

Hadizah:Summayah is right, she can't go on any rides with you. 

Fadilah:Papa has left, you have to follow me then grandma. 

Hadiza:I have to stay with Summayah. 

Fadilah:I can't take the rides all alone granny. 

Maryam:I don't want to go on those rides too. I will stay with Summayah while you follow your grand daughter to whatever rides she wants to go for. 

Hadizah:So you are trying to give all the responsibilities to me right? 

Fadilah:Grandma, please just take me. Others are already having fun, i don't want to miss any.

Maryam:I would have taken her but you know how tired i am, i woke up very early today. I will get excessive headache if i didn't rest for some time. I will stay with Summayah right here, i promise. 

Hadizah:I understand. Make sure you look out for my baby, don't go anywhere. 

Summayah:I can take care of myself, besides there are no kidnappers around here. It is so crowded too. 

Hadizah:I know darling but we all need to be careful. 

Maryam:Don't worry, i am here. 

Hadizah:Take care. 

(Hadizah carried her grand daughter who was already jumping and they both giggled. Maryam shakes her head while Summayah smiled.) 

Maryam:I will like to use the ladies. 

Summayah:No problem, when you come back, i need to get food but i don't know where they are situated. I am really hungry. 

Maryam:I will get it for you when i am coming back.

Summayah:Thank you. 

(Summayah was all alone waiting for Maryam when someone pulled her wheelchair.)

Summayah:Maryam? You are back? (She tried looking at the person behind her but she couldn't.) Is that you? Why are you not answering me? 

Jennifer:Shush darling, just keep shut or else i will stab you with this knife (She showed her the knife which was at her side) 

Summayah:Who are you? 

Jennifer:Wow, you still don't recognize my voice? Well, it is a surprise then. I don't need to show you here, you need to be seen in a very popular place. 

Summayah:(She recognized who the voice belongs to. Her worst nightmare is back.) Jen...ni...fer? 

Jennifer:Yes w-tch. 

(She wheeled her to the center of the park, Summayah saw Jamiu and Mrs Aminat walking towards her. Fear has already taken over her, the memories she is trying her best to bury are now crawling back to her. Her past is eating her up, the torture and s-xual assault from Jamiu was playing like a video play in her head.) 

Jamiu:Are you shocked to see us? 

Summayah:Ja...Ja...miu. (He slapped her on the face and pushed her down the wheel chair) 

Jamiu:You think you can run away forever.I can see that you are enjoying the jewelries and money you stole from my mother, who was that guy that dropped you off? One of your boyfriends right? You left me and went after another rich guy for money, so that you can swindle his money too after stealing my mother's possessions? 

Summayah:I didn't steal anything, why can't you understand? Stop humiliating me, i can't take this anymore. 

Jamiu:You call this humiliation? 

Summayah:Everyone is already looking at me.

Jamiu:That is what i actually want. To humiliate and kill you myself. 

Summayah:What have i done to you? Why are you punishing me like this? 

(Jamiu removed her head cover and slapped her on the face twice while some people are recording to put it on social media.)

Jamiu:What is the use of the hijab you use when you are a pr-stitute. When you go out with different men all in the name of money, you are a thief, a two-faced person. (He was ready to tear her blouse when Summayah held his hands.)

Summayah:No,No...You...can't.Jamiu, give me that respect of being a female. 

Jamiu:I have told you so many times not to tell me that i can't do anything when you know i will do. (He began to tear her blouse allowing people see her underwear.He signalled to Jennifer and she gave him the cold water they had set aside for Summayah)I can see your stomach is now protruding and your unborn child would love to have a cold bath in this scorching sun right? 

Summayah:I beg of you, please don't pour it on me. I am just recovering.

Jamiu:To hell with your recovering, you are looking pretty good and you are here telling me you are just recovering.

(A guy came out from those watching the scenerio trying his best to stop him. Ummi was busy watching from afar wondering why people are leaving their sits and going to that spot.) 

Guy:Are you not ashamed of what you are doing? You are a guy and you treat a lady like this. 

Jamiu:Stay out of this. 

Guy:What will you do if i don't? 

Jamiu:(He poured the cold water on her) Is he part of those guys you sleep with? Why is he defending you? 

Summayah:I...don't...know...him. (Jamiu raised his hand and Summayah was already expecting the impact of the slap on her face) 

Guy:(He dragged him up) Don't you dare. If you want to fight, then fight with me. Why are you wasting your energy on a pregnant woman, to prove that you can fight? 

Jamiu:Mind your f-cking business guy, you came here for fun right? 

Guy:Yes, others may watch you do your nonsense but i wont stand it. What if she slept with the whole world, that doesn't give you any right to treat her like this and can't you see the state she is in? Do you want to kill her, just be cause she is disabled? 

Jamiu:You don't know half of the story guy. 

Guy:I don't care to know quarter but you are a beast. 

(While the guy fought with Jamiu, Mrs Aminat slapped Summayah continuously and she bled from the nose. Ummi got to the scene, struggling amongst the crowd_she got to see who it really was. She pushed Mrs Aminat who was already on top of Summayah.)

Ummi:Summayah!Summayah!!

Summayah:I...I...Am...feeling...dizzy. 

Ummi:Why are you all standing there without doing anything. She.Is.Bleeding.Someone.Get.The.Doctor.

Summayah:Mo...Mother. 

Ummi:You will be fine, she rubbed her fingers. I will get the doctor. 

(Jamiu fought with the guy and he threatened to get the police. Some women went to Summayah and tried rubbing her legs while she was already half conscious. Ummi ran as fast as her legs could carry her while she bumped into Uthman.)

Uthman:Watch where you are going. 

Ummi:I am so sorry. I actually... (She realised it was uthman) Please, come with me. Summayah! Summayah!!

Uthman:Tell me what happened to her.

Ummi:She has been abused by some people. Just come with me. 

Uthman:(Ummi ran back to the spot while he followed) 

Ummi:She is here... 

Uthman:Everyone move, move away. (He removed his shirt and wore it for Summayah who was becoming cold, pressed her body against his) You will be fine, trust me. 

Summayah:Just leave, he might hurt you too. 

Jamiu:Wow, the hero is here. Summayah, is he the father of your child? 

Uthman:Yes, i am. What will you do? She is my wife. All of you taking pictures and videos should better delete it right now. If it ever leaks out to the world, i will make sure to sue you. 

Jamiu:I will make sure i expose this idiot who has been having extra marital affair. How could you even marry her when we are not even divorced? Both of you have no shame. 

Uthman:Never in your life should you blame Summayah for anything because it happened all because of me. 

Jamiu:Trying to cover up for her right? 

Uthman:I am not covering up for her, ever since you treated her like a dog, i found her and made her happy because she is mine alone. Only. Mine. 

Summayah:Brother...Uthman. 

Uthman:You are save, i will make sure nothing happens to you. 

Jamiu:Summayah...I divorce you! I divorce you!! I divorce you!!! 

Uthman:Better...I must not see you close to my wife again, you should stay millions of miles away from her. I will make sure you pay for what you have done. 

(Ummi heard people whispering about uthman and Summayah.)

This two have no shame, publicising their sin to the world. I wonder what this world is gradually turning to, i am sure she deserves more than she received from her ex-husband. She has been cheating right under his nose, girls are now devaluing themselves for money and fame. 

Another said:All they want is to ride in big cars not minding the consequences of their actions. Putting their marriage at state. I don't pity her one bit and i am sure someone will post it online, what a disgrace. 

The other woman chirped in:I know that doctor, i even thought he is one holy man not knowing he sleeps around with girls way younger than him. 

They are just two faced, they know nothing about Islam. You know, when his wife died years ago he cried and was nearly insane. You see what he does now. I wonder how many nurses he must have laid down with. 

Ummi:(She went to their side) Fear Allah, all this talk will be used against you on the day of Judgment. Why don't you fear that day where there is no money or this so-called people you gossip with to save you. Why is that women are the ones that criticize their fellow woman when you are supposed to save her first, she was being beaten and this is all you can do to help? By belittling her? Would you have said this if she was your daughter? Would you have watched her die even if she was in the wrong? No, right? 

Uthman:(He carried her while everyone watched him) A lot of you don't know how this girl here has helped you. How she is looking out for you. 

Summayah:(She held his hands) Please...don't. 

Uthman:Ummi, help me with the car keys and open it when we get there. 

Ummi:Okay.(She turned to the women) May Allah grant you the best not to judge anyone. Before deciding on anything next time, make sure you get facts. 

(She left them and ran over to uthman.Summayah was already unconscious and finding hard to breath.He placed her in the car.) 

Uthman:If you ever find my mother or sister, tell them Summayah is being taken to the hospital. I wonder where they are, they should know she was missing since they got here. 

Ummi:I will do that. 

*****

(Maryam was agitated, she couldn't find Summayah where she had left her. She dropped the food and looked around, she went back to the food stand to know if she had gone there by herself to get the food but she didnt see any sign of her. 

Ummi got the number of Hadizah from the caterers to let her know the situation Summayah was in. She picked after the third ring. 

Hadiza:Hello,who is this? 

Ummi:This is Ummi from the catering service. 

Hadizah:Ohh, hope there is no problem. 

Ummi:There is a big problem ma'am, Summayah was rushed to the hospital right now. 

Hadizah:It can't be possible, i left her with my daughter. 

Ummi:(She narrated what happened to her.) I don't know what is going to happen to her but she is in a really bad state. 

Hadizah:Thank you, i will go there right now. 

(Just as she ended her calls, Hadizah met Maryam and that was when she knew ummi wasn't giving any false news.)

Maryam:Mother, i can't find Summayah anywhere.

Hadizah:She has been taken to the hospital, i told you to stay with her and you couldn't. It has not been up to two hours, how could you let harm come to her. The doctor told me to be careful with her the other day, her body is too weak.I will blame myself if anything ever happens to her. 

Maryam:I only went to the ladies, i didn't leave her intentionally. 

Fadilah:Grandma, what happened to mother? Is something wrong with my baby sister? 

Hadiza:Enough of this talk, let's go. 

(They got a cab straight to the hospital.) 

****

(Maryam was out of the intensive care unit where Summayah was been attended to. Uthman paced around praying for her safety, he quickly went up to her.) 

Uthman:How is she? 

Maryam:Let's talk in my office. 

(They both walked into her office) 

Uthman:Just tell me already. 

Maryam:Summayah will be back into depression. It felt like she was suffocated and this is dangerous for her health, she has been calling that name "Jamiu" while she was unconscious. You should know better as a doctor what i am talking about, Summayah might not be normal after this. Just imagine the pain if she loses her child, she will just die. 

Uthman:I will make sure she is happy. 

Maryam:I watched that video before you even brought her in. Do you know how much she would be hurt if she sees that, she was publicly humiliated and watched by many. She was almost naked, almost naked. 

Uthman:She will be better. 

Maryam:It is as easy as you say it. 

Uthman:I will make sure Summayah doesn't face any humiliation ever again. I will bring them to justice. 

Maryam:I want to ask you a question? 

Uthman:Yes?

Hadizah:What you said at the funfair about the two of you, was it true or just to save her? 

Uthman:It is true and i am ready to take responsibility for her. 

Maryam:You are actually the father of her child?  The one who r-ped Summayah and the one she has been patiently waiting for to show himself to her.? 

Uthman:Yes.

Maryam:I know you are saying this to help Summayah out of this mess. (Tears threatened to fall from her eyes) I know you are lying. 

Uthman:I am not lying, i.actually.r-ped.summayah.when.i.was.not.in.my.senses. I saved her because i felt guilty for what i did to her, i wanted to see her happy. I am in love with her and i won't make that mistake of leaving her again. I will never let anyone come closer to her or any harm come to her. I will never let her leave me again. 

(Hadizah made Uthman face her. She slapped him on the face while Maryam gasped.) 

Hadizah:How daré you? Say it to my face right now!

Uthman:(He shouted)Mother, i am not lying. I am Summayah's r-pist. I am the guy you all have been looking for. The mysterious r-pist. 

Hadizah:This is not the son i gave birth to. You are not my son. 

(Hadizah fell down on the ground crying her eyes out.)


*****
Hello guys, 

Who expects this from uthman?  Is he really saying the truth or trying to relieve the burden on Summayah?

Is he really the culprit or shifting the blame on himself to save Summayah of the shame of the society. 

Let's get interactive guys. 

See you all soon.
