BROKEN HEART

CHAPTER 10

ALIYU

I can't remember the last time I dressed so nice.
Today's dressing is specially for Binta

I didn't even tell her I am coming
I wanted to surprise her as always

I can't wait to see her
I said looking at myself in the mirror

Upon reaching Binta's house my eyes saw what my heart couldn't take

I saw Binta with another guy
Laughing and gisting ,she really seems to be enjoying it

My heart started boiling
I didn't know I could ever be this jealous

I didn't even wait to hear what she was about saying
I quickly turned and left when I saw her coming towards me with the guy

Am I too late?
I never thought Binta has a boyfriend
because she never spoke about him.

What should I do now?
I really can't let her go
I can't loose someone I love not for the second time.
I really need to act fast.

I went back home without having any solutions to my problems

BINTA

I was resting in my room because I got really tired from the market I went to that afternoon when Bashir called me that he  is coming to see me

Bashir is the guy I met not long ago
We are dating but I am not that interested in the whole stuff

Bashir is someone with too much ego
He always feels he is superior to everyone but to say Bashir loves me is an understatement

He spent as if he is not the one working for the money

I almost thought he is a ritualist because of how he spends

But I later found out his family are very rich
And he is a very successful business man

I just put on my lipgloss as always and went out to meet him.

I was lost in the joke he was giving me that I didn't even notice when Aliyu entered.

”Ahh who is that?
  He has been standing there  since”
 
He asked looking directly at me waiting for my response

That's Aliyu
He is a very good friend of mine
Let's go say hi to him
Since you are about going

Before we could get to where Aliyu is standing he left

I was surprised by how he went out
Because I could see the anger in his eyes
What happened to him ?
Why did he leave like that
Bashir asked

I just shook my head because I don't have the answer to Bashir's questions

I decided to give him a call after Bashir left to know why he left like that but he didn't pick

I later gave up after trying for more than three time and he didn't pick

I was preparing to go to bed when Aliyu finally called
I quickly picked because I was dead worried

Habah Aliyu,
Why aren't you picking my calls?
Why did you leave like that, without saying hi?
Is something wrong?

"Who is the guy I saw you with?

Is that suppose to be a question I asked?

" It is what ever you think it to be
  why will you be with another guy
   not me?
why will you be laughing
   With another guy not me?

Wait Aliyu what's wrong with you?
Why can't I be with another person?
Who are you to me that will stop me from laughing with another guy?

At that moment I know I was sounding rude, because what the hell is he talking about?

Don't I have the right to see another person just because I am friend to him

You know what?
Just forget it,I said and end the call angry.

Ahh see me see trouble oo
Just because I be your friend come be say make I no date abih wetin
Him wan marry me neh abih ma continue to dey stay for my mama house because I be him friend
Rubbish

I was really upset that I couldn't stop thinking about the whole situation

I woke up late the next day because I couldn't sleep last night

We are on the table having breakfast with my brothers who came to spend there holiday with us,when I heard Aliyu's voice talking to my mom who was about going out

I looked at the time and it was just 10am
What is he doing here this early

I went back to my room to put on my hijab because I was still having my night wears on and I wouldn't want him to see me in that.

Why aren't you picking my calls?Aliyu asked when I finally came out to meet him
That's when I remembered I put my phone on silent after I ended the call yesterday

Ohh sorry my phone was on silent
So I didn't hear it ring

What's the meaning of what you are saying yesterday he asked looking into my eyes

I quickly take off my eyes from his
And said I am supposed to be asking you that.
What's the meaning of what you are saying yesterday?

Why will you leave like that just because you saw me with someone else?
And why won't I laugh with another guy just because I am with you

And what is between us that I can't have any other relationship with other guys?
And for your information the guy you saw yesterday is my boyfriend

"Please stop it Binta
It's okay
Don't you get it?
Can't you see?
How can I bear to see you with another guy when I love you?

You love who?
Mee,I asked him pointing to myself

Aliyu!
I know we have a good relationship this days but I don't want you to be ahead of yourself.
What you have for me is not love
You are just confused.
And you and I know you are still not over Aisha
There is no way you are in love with me.

"I am not a kid Binta
I am old enough to know what I want and what I don't.
Just give me a chance to prove to you that what I feel is real.
Please I am begging you Binta".

I won't lie to myself
I kinda of have feelings for Aliyu too
Like who will not?
The guy is too handsome to ignore
I could remember I almost fell for him the first day I saw him before he shows interest in Aisha

But I can't just conclude that what he feels for me is real
What if he just confused as I said
No I can't risk that

I looked at him and said
I am sorry Aliyu but I don't think I can accept your love  and I already told you I have a boyfriend and we are getting married this year I lied

I quickly stand up to leave when Aliyu holds my hand before I could do anything I just saw myself I his arms

Like what the hell did he just hug me?
I tried pushing him away but I couldn't

"Binta please don't do this to me
I am really serious
I Love you
BINTA if you don't love me back I might loose it this time
Please save my heart I am begging you

I will give you time to think about it
You don't have to say yes now
I will wait till when you are ready but just don't push me away
Please"

Let me go first please
I said trying to free myself from the hug.

"I am sorry
  I couldn't stop myself and I can't endure seeing you leave like that"
He said quickly releasing me from the unexpected hug.

I looked at him with tears in my eyes that I don't even know the reason for them
I will think about i said and quickly left before he does the unthinkable again.

Awwwn love in the air🥰🥰🥰
Aliyu please be calming down
🤣🤣
