Author's POV💕

"Maryam, have a sit" her father said as she did as she was told while Rukkaya sat besides her giving her a reassuring look.

"We just came back from the hospital and your husband is currently under life support, apparently he was overdosing and abusing his pills which affected his heart and now his in a critical condition" her father said as she remained silent

"His in need of a heart transplant otherwise his going to loose his life" he said again as she looked at him in disbelief,

"Inna illahi was inna illahi raji'un" Maryam and Rukkaya let out as she looked at Aliyu's mother face to see the woman glaring angrily at her

"I'm not here to shout at you or scold you, I just called you down here cause your in-laws have something to tell you but before that I have something to say" her father said as she just stared at him trying her best not to cry

"I'm not blaming you for anything but I want you to tell me how on earth was your husband abusing his drugs and you didn't mention anything to us or try to stop him" her father said as she shook her head letting the tears she've been holding back fall out

"Did you know he was overdosing, yes or no?" he asked as she stayed silent before nodding

"Inna illahi was inna illahi raji'un" the whole family exclaimed disappointedly

"Why didn't you tell us about it or try to stop him?" Her father asked angry

"I spoke to him about it and asked him about it but he never gave me any response and when he did which was today he said it calms him" she responded crying

"How long have you known about his overdosing?" Her father asked

"He did it once we newly got married but back then he said that's the right amount for him so I thought it was the same this time around" she said again

"Maryam, are you hearing yourself, so when you saw him doing that why didn't you tell us, why didn't you tell anyone?" He asked her upset

"I didn't know it'll get to this" she said almost silently

"And so you remained silent, you watched your husband abuse his drugs and didn't say anything to anyone" her father said disappointed

"I'm sorry" she said as she cried while Rukkaya calmed her

"Sorry for what?" Hajiya Nafisa spoke up

"My son is fighting for his life and your telling us your sorry, will your sorry save him or make him better, will your sorry replace his heart or will your sorry magically make everything alright again" she said again angrily at Maryam

"Calm down, don't shout at her you can see she regrets it" her husband said as she glared at him

"Isn't that what she deserves, she's responsible for his condition and nothing you or anyone will say will make me think otherwise, this girl doesn't respect or care about her husband that's why his in the condition he is today, assuming she showed even a bit of care at least we would have stopped him a long time" Hajiya Nafisa said

"Forget stopping him, I'm sure the way she treated him was the reason he started overdosing in the first place, how could you have gotten your son married to such an arrogant woman" hajiya Nafisa said again

"That's enough, keep quiet, this is not the time to blame anyone for anything, we have to think of a way to save Aliyu if not his going to die and that can't happen so stop blaming her I'm sure she's also hurt" her husband said as she eyed him
