Double update!!

"The dinner will be very fun. I need you and Habiba there with me. You will attend right? Don't say no please"'

"Just tell me you will miss me and I will be there" Ruqayya chuckled, shaking her head. She will obviously miss her sister. The only one she gets along with.

"You know I will miss you so will you come?"

"Of course my sweet sister"  She hugged her and blink away her tears. She will undoubtedly miss Hamida.

Hamida smiled knowing she has successfully convinced her sister or so she thought. Adama told her to convince Ruqayyah or she won't be responsible for whatever happens. That evil woman she unfortunately has as her aunt.

"So have you called the woman doing your hair?" Ruqayya asked her sister, silently praying she said something sensible. She doesn't really know what is going on about the wedding. She knows she has been distant but she prefers it like that.

"Which woman?" Hamida raised her eyebrows. She doesn't remember discussing anything related to that with her.

"Aren't you making your hair for the wedding?"

"I have made my hair, Ruqayyah. Didn't you notice? The wedding is in 3days."

Ruqayya facepalmed and quickly left the room. She should start paying attention to things around her. How can she not notice little things like that.

Hamida shake her head and rolled her eyes. Now she understands why Adama hates Ruqayya. The girl can be annoying sometimes. She is always trying to ignore her mistakes, but she keeps repeating them again. How can she not know she has made her hair for the wedding? She hissed out loud and dialed a number on her phone. At this point she doesn't care what Adama plans to do to Ruqayya. She will support her.

"Has she agreed to attend the dinner or she is still being a fool?" Adama asked Hamida who would rather be anywhere but here.

"She told me she was going the last time we spoke, but I overheard her telling Afnan she isn't going"

"I am not going to be responsible for whatever happens next"

"And you think I will be? I am in full support of whatever you are planning. She deserves whatever comes her way. She can be annoying sometimes" Hamida remembered what transpired between them few days ago and hissed out loud.

"What changed?"

"I don't longer care about her. Our mum is always giving her so much attention. Could you believe she has been giving Ruqayya all the attention she should be giving me? I am the one getting married not that useless daughter of hers."

"Chill baby girl" Adama smiled knowing she has finally gotten what she wants. She felt like dancing and shouting to the whole world one of her dreams has come through. Hamida is no longer supporting her mother.

"I shouldn't be outside here. Just let me know the outcome of everything, I have to go back inside the house."

"As you wish"

Hamida covered her face with a hoodie and quickly entered the house. There will be a lot of questions if anyone sees her with Adama. They don't get along so how will she explain to people what they are doing together?

"You have no idea you are putting your family in danger, Hamida. You are such a fool baby girl" Adama shake her head, staring at the gate Hamida just passed through. It's surprising how family members don't even care about themselves these days.
.........

"I am scared, mum. I hope this plan of yours will go smoothly. I don't think I can do something like that"

"Why do you act like a small boy? This thing we are talking about isn't hard. Grow up Sameer"

"It is okay for him to be nervous, Junior. I understand him"

"I doubt you do. You are turning us to sinners. You want us to rape two friends. We are your sons, for crying out loud. Can't you hire some thugs or someone else to do that nonsense for you?"

"Watch how you talk to my mum, you bastard!"

"How dare you call me a bastard? Are you mad?" Sameer got up from the couch, ready to lash out on his brother.

"The both of you should stop! Just stop!" Adama was standing between the two brothers, trying to stop them from fighting.

"Don't tell me you don't know you are a bastard. Why didn't you tell him?" Junior asked his mother with a mischievous grin on his face.

"Junior just stop your nonsense" Adama said, avoiding eye contact

"What is he saying? What nonsense is he saying Mum?"

"Ignore him please. You know he likes saying nonsense. Just go to your room, okay?" Adama gulped nervously, knowing she has made a big mistake by telling Junior nonsense about Sameer's true father. That is not even the truth, she  just told him that to calm him down that day.

"She won't tell you the truth, but I will tell you. I am a nice person so I will tell you"

"Just keep your dirty mouth shut! What nonsense truth do you want to tell him? I am warning you, Junior"

"He deserves to know the truth. He should know we don't share the same father. In short you have three children for three different fathers. I am the only legitimate child here. I am tired of sharing my father's house with illegitimate children like Sameer and Aliya"

"Wha-what? What are you saying? Please don't listen to him. You know he says lots of nonsense. He is lying, Sameer. Trust me he is lying" Adama doesn't know how to explain to Sameer she only lied  to Junior to calm him down that day. Only Junior is the illegitimate child not Sameer and Aliya. Junior overheard her conversation with someone and confronted her about it so she lied to him that day not knowing he will use it against her.

"I don't think he is lying. Look at the way you are acting. I know if you are lying or telling the truth and all I can see right now is that you are lying" Sameer blink back his tears. He is so ashamed to call Adama his mother. How would he explain to people his mother is not fateful to his father or her husband rather because he just found out the person he refer to as father is not his father.

"Sameer please, you are not an illegitimate child. Believe me my son" Adama tried to touch his shoulder but he was quick to move back. How can he let someone like her touch him?

"Ask her for your father's number. I am sure she is still in touch with him"

"Just keep your dirty mouth shut Junior!" Adama bellowed and slapped him hard. "How dare you? How dare you talk to me like this?"

"What did I say?"

"You will keep shut when I speak, Junior. I am your mother and I gave birth to you two. Simply because I told you Sameer is an illegitimate child doesn't mean I am telling the truth. Listen to me Junior, you are the illegitimate child here and it will be better if you keep shut and continue enjoying your life here. Your biological father will never accept you. He isn't as rich as Omar so I suggest you keep enjoying yourself here. Do you understand?"

Sameer raised his eyebrows, obviously confused. He doesn't know who to trust. Maybe his mother is just lying to calm him down, but then how can she shamelessly admit she cheated on their dad and even got pregnant? He feels nauseous just by looking at his mother. She isn't worthy of being called mother.

Junior burst into laughter shaking his head "why are you lying my dear mother? We both know you only said this to calm Sameer down. Don't let her deceive you with her lies" He continued laughing, shaking his head at his mother.

"Lies? Lies? You think I am lying? Just hold on let me show you something" Adama quickly walked to her wardrobe and brought out a jewelry box. She opened it and brought out a small envelope. She threw the envelope on Junior and sat down. "Read what is in the envelope. Read it out loud so that we can all hear"

"What is this now? A new trick or what?" Junior asked staring at the envelope

"Open it and see for yourself"

He look at Adama briefly and opened the envelope. There is a paper inside so he brought it out. "This is a DNA test result?"

Adama rolled her eyes at his rhetorical question. He must be a fool to think she will reply him.

"It says I am Abubakar Sadiq's biological son? What the hell is this nonsense?" Junior threw the envelope on the floor, knowing what he just read might be the truth. Sameer quickly picked it up and read everything there. He doesn't even know how to react to this.

"The DNA test was done in 3 different hospitals. The result are all here in the jewelry box. You can decide to go to a different hospital for the test if you don't trust me. I have your father's number so you can contact him, but for some unknown reasons he believes Aliya is his daughter and not you. You have two choices, Junior. Live peaceful here even if you are not part of their family or get both me and you humiliated trying to unite with your father. Which one do you choose?"

"Wow! I have never seen someone as shameless as you. So you have been cheating on Dad since you got married? Even before you had Aliya? You are greedy, a cheat, you are a horrible person. I regret having you as my mother. I wish I didn't come to this world through you. You are evil and I hate you" Sameer left the room because he didn't want to insult his mother anymore. He might do something he will regret after all she is still his mother.

"Get out of my room, Junior. I need time to clear the mess you created"

Junior left the room quietly. He can't think straight right now. His mother deceive him throughout his life. How can he continue living in this house knowing he is an illegitimate child. He isn't that responsible but he knows what is right and wrong. This whole thing isn't right.
