Laying on the floor of her bedroom afrah sigh and roll out of the carpet to the cold tiles, her aunt voice from this morning won't stop ringing in her ears, jalal is hiding something from her
but what?
She's curious anytime she ask him what it's bothering him he ignore her or lie about work, the door to her bedroom open she didn't bother to look up because she know who is it.
"Afrah." Jalal say confuse as a yawn escape his mouth making him to sigh tiredly, he drop his bag on the bed and kneel next to her.
"Are you alright?" Jalal ask but Afrah ignore him making him to sigh and sit on the floor before kicking off his shoes.
"Afrah." Jalal call again touching her but she swat his hand away making him to sigh.
"I'm sorry i run late today but work was hell.......jalal say but pause wondering if Lailah have tell Afrah about it all.
" Afrah,
Look i was going to tell you everything I'm ju.........
"Then tell me uncle j?
What is going on?
Why is aunt lailah saying all those stuff about hurting you?
Didn't you trust me enough to tell me your secrets?" Afrah ask staring at her uncle making him to sigh.
Jalal grab Afrahs hand smiling weakly at her making her to sit upright.
"I trust you Afrah,
I'm just scared that if i tell you then all this is going to be over,
I love you Afrah,
I don't how and when i fall in love with you but i really do want to spend the rest of my life with you." Jalal say staring at Afrah making her to smile at him, this is the first time he say he love her and it feel really good to hear him say those three words usually he always emphasis on the i care about you shit.
"Uncle j,
There's nothing that will keep me away from you atleast not some stuff that happen long time ago before i even come into the picture." Afrah say and jalal Stare at her with a sigh.
"I'm going to lay down that way you won't have to see my face while saying it." Afrah say and lay on the floor with her head on Jalal lap as his fingers quickly begin massaging her head.
"Have you and your mum ever had a conversation about Lailah before i married her?" Jalal ask and Afrah shake her head.
"Nope,
They weren't very close i think until after you two got married." Afrah say because she can remember vividly her mum barely talk about her aunt until she got married to jalal.
"Okay.
So it was a Monday morning and i was in my office this Lady walk in for a job interview and it was your aunt, I immediately got smitten by her looks,
I hired her and i think that was the biggest mistake of my life,
That period of time my company was in the brick of getting shut down by the government, i was helpless i have tried everything that i can but to no avail,
Then your aunt who happen to be my secretary then decide she can help me but on a single condition,
she will have my restaurant which is now hers i didn't think twice because the restaurant wasn't something i am really into it was my mum's and after they left i was running it for her i immediately agreed for her to help, 3days later i received a clarification letter that my company won't be shut down it was the best day of my life and i find myself even more fascinated by your aunt, we started dating and everything was moving smooth or so i thought,
until one day i found out she was married, so technically everyone think i was having an affair with a married woman, I spoke to your aunt and she told me she wasn't happy in the marriage, bla blq bla, despite knowing about that i still go ahead and continue the relationship until one night an anonymous invitation was sent to me, I went to the address and i met this man he told me he is your aunt husband,
he told me to stay away from her lailah that she is bad news but i ignored him, i was soo in love i go ahead to tell your aunt about her husband visit because i really do love her,
then your aunt suggest we should kill him so we can get married, I didn't actually agreed to that i told her she should just pressurized him to divorce her but she got upset about that,
two weeks after the conversation around 2am in the morning she called me to come over to the house,
had i known what will happened i shouldn't have gone there,
First there was a baby probably 3months old lailah gave me the baby and told me to go and throw it away, i ask her who's baby it was and she never told me i didn't bother to ask because all i want to at that time in my life is to make lailah happy so i left with the baby i took the baby to a nearby ditch but she won't stop crying so i picked her and took her to a nearby orphanage i dropped her by the gate and waited few blocks away until someone came out and pick her before i left,
when i went back to your aunt house that's when i saw her husband he was alive but he was like inept he couldn't do anything, he was laying down and just staring at the both of us, then lailah suggest we should kill him, i told her i can't because i already feel terrible for what the baby thing so i left the next morning i found out that lailah's husband died they buried him and after Lailah finish her takaba we got married. "Jalal narrate and Afrah feel numb, she doesn't know who's to be blamed for, her aunt or jalal.
" what about the baby?"Afrah ask and jalal release a heavy breathe.
"She died i went back to the orphanage 2weeks after that and they told me the baby died,
I know lailah did something to her husband i don't know what but his family took lailah to court at the end the case was dismissed,
I should have listen to everyone, there where alot of alarming redflags when i was dating your aunt but I was madly in love and even wrong seems right to me, lailah had an affair with one of the appointed government agent so they won't shut down my company, i knew about that but i didn't even mention it to her because i just want to be with lailah." Jalal say and Afrah sit upright, she stare at her uncle.
"None of this is your fault uncle j,
You did that out of love,
You love her soo much that you are Willing to do anything to be with her,
I don't care about that,
Just pray to Almighty for forgiveness and be happy,
Have you later found out who's baby was it?" Afrah ask and jalal shake his head.
"Nope,
Lailah always get upset whenever i bring that up,
so i stop asking." Jalal say staring g at Afrah who's staring back at him.
"Will you love me that much uncle j?" Afrah ask and jalal smile.
"I love you more than that Afrah,
You are life itself,
I want to kiss you soo badly right now." He say and grab afrah who chuckle straddling on his lap and press there lips together.
Afrahs tongue is like an addiction to him he feels her fingers gripping his hair, pulling him closer.
Jalal hands wander around Afrahs body and he slip his hand from underneath the pink T-shirt she's wearing, his hand walk up to her body and he didn't feel the familiar hook behind her back, slowly yet gently his hand grab her left tits making a gasp to escape her mouth it's like that sound ignite something in him he feel his veins throbbing and his heart explodes, he has never wanted anyone like this before. Ever, He stand up with Afrahs legs round around his body gently placing her on the bed,
Afrah feel her heart beating faster than usual, she feel Jalal cold lips around her belly button as his hand push up her T-shirt why didn't she put a bra today jalal hand gently cup her breast as he slightly touch her nipple with his finger goosebumps all over her body Afrah isn't sure wether she's ready for this then just like that she feel her uncle's mouth latch on her left breast.
"Tell me to stop Afrah." Jalal say as his tongue slightly lick the tip of her nipple and Afrah did tell him to stop.
"Stop uncle j." She say she feel soo uncomfortable yet comfortable jalal look up at afrah.
He sit upright with a sigh and facepalm, he quietly lay down with his stomach on the bed as Afrah sit upright and adjust her T-shirt.
"Are you OK ?" Afrah ask in a whisper and jalal stare at her with a weak smile he drag her to lay next to him as he wrap his hand around her.
"I will be fine i guess." Jalal say,
He has never feel this unquenchable desire toward a single person , Afrah is the only cure to what he's feeling right now, as they both lay on the bed jalal find himself fantasizing about what he will do with Afrah the day she didn't tell him to stop.
