Aishah

I WOKE UP the following day around 9:30am,I didn't know I slept so long. I went straight to the bathroom and brush my teeth performing my ablution having a late salat

I wore my flipflop and left my room to check on Fareedah no one was in their room and I decided to call her,I took my phone and dialed her number which she took immediately

"I'm so sorry Aishah,we have to go and you look so beautiful in your sleep that we decided not to bother you,I will come over soon"she says as soon as she picks my call

"You know how to blab so much,I will see you when I see you so talk to you later I'm hungry"I said hanging up the call,I decided to call Rukkayah and Aliyah to thank them for escorting me to my new home

I search for the kitchen which I later discovered was near to the dining room and search for whatever eatable but couldn't find anything of my interest

I didn't know if Ibrahim was at home or not and I couldn't call him cause I don't have his number,I decided to go back to my room on trying to open the door to my room,I heard giggles across the other room and I got frightened

It was a female voice and I was sure I'm the only female in this house,I got scared and went back to the kitchen picking a turning stick,I tiptoed to the area I heard the voice and slowly open the door

The door clicked and the door swung open,out of reflex I raise my turning stick in an act of defence but brought it down slowly when I saw an angry Ibrahim who was laying on the bed half naked revealing his packs and a shocked lady who is also almost naked laying on top of Ibrahim covering themselves up with a duvet

"What are you doing in my room?!"Ibrahim roared and I got scared dropping my turning stick

"I... I .. thou...thought...."I started stammering so scared to form words

"Will you save yourself the stress and get your filthy ugly self out of my room and the last time I checked I warned you never to come inside my room"he yelled and I couldn't help but start sobbing

"You never showed me your room"I said with the little voice I can muster

"Get out right now!!!"he roared and I turned around immediately trying to ran away from him when he finally stopped me with his next words

"Will you take this thing out of my room"he says angrily and I turn around picking the turning stick

"I'm sorry"I muttered

"Sorry for yourself"he said shutting the door at my face,I went back to the kitchen and drop the turning stick

I went back inside my room and started crying my heart out,I hate him I hate Ibrahim with so much passion at the moment

After crying for hours my phone started ringing and it was my mom,I tried clearing my voice before picking the call

"I'm so sorry Aishah I was so extra busy and I forgot I have to bring you food, how are you and your husband?"my mom asked and I remain quiet for awhile

Am I really a married woman now?

Am I really Ibrahim's wife and he's meant to be called my husband?

More tears threatened to spill but I controlled myself

"I'm hungry mom"I managed to reply without my voice getting cracked

"I will be there with your food very soon don't mind your silly mother and if I am unable to bring it myself I might call anyone to deliver it immediately"

"Ok mom"I replied ending the call immediately without waiting for what she has to say next

I stood up and look at myself at the mirror,this wasn't me it was someone's else reflection on the mirror,a picture of a girl with swell up eyes,chapped lips and disheveled hairs I tried smiling but I looked more miserable

I decided to take my bath,I had my bath on coming back to my room I met my phone ringing and I took the call,it was Abubakar

"Salam"he greeted

"Salam"I repeated

"You don't sound good,what have Ibrahim done to you?"he asked like he was angry

"Nothing"I said trying to brush it off

"Stop trying to hide things from me Aishah I got to know you more than you think and also I will be there in a jiffy so please smile for me"he cooed and I couldn't help but smile

The call came to an end and I decided to put on some clothes before Abubakar comes,I took a white jeans trouser and wore it with a dark blue plain top

Few minutes after my phone started ringing again and I met it was Abubakar I picked the call and he told me he was already standing at the front of the house,I dropped my phone immediately and rush to get the door,on opening the door I met him standing with two take away bags

"What are those?"I asked curiously and he smiled

"I know you haven't eating since morning"he said and my eyes get moist

How can someone knows you more than yourself

"So I decided why don't we eat together since I'm hungry you should know I'm not buying you food I only want a company when I eat mine"he jokingly said and for the first time forever I ran into his arms hugging him,he lost his balance due to the unexpected hug but get back together immediately I ruffle my head in his chest while he only chuckled

I release him from the hug and let him step inside,we sat at the living room switching on the television as we eat the fried rice and chicken he bought from chicken Republic

"What happened,I want to know every details"he asked me after awhile and I told him everything that happened his eyes got darker as each words spun out of my mouth by the end he looks so angry that I got afraid

Suddenly the main door opened and Ibrahim stepped inside I never knew when he went out,he turned to look at me with a glare and smiled at his friend but Abubakar returned it with a hard glare

"What's wrong?" He asked Abu looking so innocent that I almost rolled my eyes

"Everything is wrong"Abubakar roared that I ended up flinching looking at Abubakar with an amused face,I never knew he could get this angry like hell I have never saw him angry

"What's this about?"Ibrahim asked and I know his patients is thinning out

"How can you do this to her?"Abu asked like he was about to cry,if this wasn't about me I would have end up laughing at Abu's expression but I felt the opposite I felt like crying my eyes out

"You were shouting at me because of her?"Ibrahim asked in an unbelievable manner

"And what if I do is this how to treat your wife,your newly wedded wife"Abu asked as more anger spew out of him

"And who says I care about her she's not my wife not now and will she ever be and bet you know I don't care or give a damn about her"Ibrahim said and I felt like my heart was been mashed together or broken into millions of pieces

"And who says I care about you too,I don't see you as my husband now or will I ever do"I roared angrily with tears betraying me as they fell freely from my eyes,this was not want I planned and this was not the kind of marriage life I ever dreamt of

"The feeling is mutual then"he says and walked out on us

I fell on the couch shaking vehemently out of anger,I felt like punching anything roaring and shouting my guts out,I felt like releasing all the pains and anger I felt but decided against it I sat like a ticking bomb, Abubakar came to sit beside me after studying me for awhile,it felt like he could see through me I was so transparent and easy access to him

"I'm sorry Aishah"he said soothingly and I laughed without humour

"Stop saying sorry when you're not at fault and don't worry I'm okay"I said with a fake smile that I'm sure doesn't reach my eyes

"I can see through you"he says

"I observed"I replied getting irritated by him,I wanted to be left alone and plan my ordeal, I wanted to deal with Ibrahim so badly that he will learn to respect women

".....You aren't listening"Abu's voice brought me back to presence

"I'm sorry,I want to sleep can we talk later?"I asked standing up

"Yeah we can"he says and stood up too

I see him off and waved him goodbye when he climbed his car,the gate man opened the gate for him and closes it back before I decided to go back inside,I climbed the stairs and went back to my room checking the time with my phone

The time was so gone,it was 4:57pm I sat on my bed and offered a little prayer to almighty Allah to calm my racing heart down suddenly I heard a knock on my door

I stood up and opened the door,I stood face to face with Ibrahim who was glaring at me

"Never in your life say anything about me to my friend again or worst my family because I promise you I'm going to make it worst for you"he said and I visibly gulped quite shaking with fear

He turned around and left the room slamming the door on his way out,I went back to my bed and sit down praying for Allah's infinite mercy
