" Ibrahim is someone i fall in love with at first sight. After I was forced to leave the house by my so called father. I wanted to tell him I was raped by one of his men but he wouldn't listen. I was helpless. Ayaan was a monster back then, he even watched the men raped me. I cried a lot and the only person that stood with me was Aaryan. After a month, I got to know that I'm pregnant. I planned on keeping it from my dad not knowing that the doctor, who happened to know my dad, had informed him. The next day, dad called me and beat me. He hit me with anything he laid his hand on. Ayaan only watched while Aaryan took most of the beatings for me.

That night I ran away from home leaving Aaryan and Ayaan. I wanted to die, I was just fifteen and I know  nothing about pregnancy. I don't want to give birth to the child of a rapist. They ganged rape me so how will I even know the father of my child. I went to the busiest road in Lagos back then. I wanted to jumped down from the pedestrian bridge. That time I wasn't in my right sense. I don't even know that suicide was haram then. That was where I met Ibrahim. He saved me from jumping down. I broke down in front of him and took me to his house. At first I don't want to follow him thinking he's also going to rape me but after he swears with Allah's name, I followed him. Wallahi I was welcomed warmly into his house. They didn't even know me but yet they accommodate me and provide everything I need for me. I found myself falling more and more in love with Ibrahim despite the age difference. After a month, I got to know he's married and I cried my eyes out then. His wife only went to her parents house. Everyone love me in the family including Ibrahim's dad but his wife never did. She hated me so much and will maltreated me whenever everyone had gone out.

When the pregnancy clocked five months, I lost the baby and wallahi I was somehow happy. Through Naheemah who had suspected something was wrong, Ibrahim got to know that his wife was maltreating and send me abroad to study. On one of my visit, I got to know that Ibrahim had divorced his wife. I don't know what caused it but I was happy especially when I heard his mum telling him to get married to me. I thought that won't happen but it did. He proposed and we got married." Mutmahinat stopped and turn to me tears rolling down her eyes. For the first time, after years of being friends, she's opening up to me.

"So what happened?" I asked and she bit her lower lip to stop herself from bursting into tears.

"Our marriage clocked seven years last month but I couldn't conceive talkless of giving birth. Ibrahim told me it's our destiny not to be parents and I accepted it as my destiny. His mother suggested that we should adopt a baby but Ibrahim disagree. I regretted praying that I should lose my baby years ago. If not I would have been a mother by now." She said before bursting into tears and I pulled her into a hug.

"The doctor said we're okay and fertile. We've done three rounds of IVF (In vitro fertilization) yet I couldn't get pregnant. And today my inability to get pregnant was rubbed on my face. Ibrahim's friend come over to our house for a get together and reunion of their classmates. If only you were there to hear the comment they gave about me and wallahi Ibrahim couldn't say anything. One said the reason I couldn't give him a child was because I was a prostitute back then. Miskiyyah, Ibrahim knew me more than anyone but he didn't defend me. It got to the extent that they advised him to divorced me just like he did to his ex wife while some blamed him for divorcing his ex wife. They told him his ex wife is now married with three kids and I could see his countenance change. He told them he will think about it instead of shutting them up."
