Sana.
" good evening" I said bending down to greet them all.
" why didn't you attend the kamu?" hajia hanne asked
" i told her not" khalifa said quickly.
" what do you mean you told her not to" she added
" i ordered her not to" he said again.
" meaning?"
" she follows only my instructions in this house. I am the husband" he added firmly. Hajia stood up and walked to where he was standing almost to giving him a dirty slap then the whole family stood up and stoped her from doing that
" hajia if you keep doing that, ai sai ya renaki" kawu idris said.
" mama kibarshi kawai" aunty aina'u said
" asma'u it's you fault. You pampered him so much over the rest. You allowed him think he is the king" blaming the mum.
" hajia it's okay to dislike me but finding nonexistence reasons to flinch on my wife right in my presence is the last thing I will tolerate from anybody"khalifa said again and that finally earned him nice a slap.
" yaya, that was unessessary" kawu idris stated
" get the hell out of my house" his dad shouted pointing to the door but his mum intervened
" to your room now." She countered
" general, I think you should allow him until the wedding is over, please i beg on his behalf" she added
" look at what this sana has caused. This family has always been peaceful"
" not always" akhram said silently
" .... you most be an omen. you are cursed" faruq's wife said even after the fact that everyone kept silent
" this is not your father's house. Get out of my father's house right away ......" faruq ordered his wife. Her eyes full of surprise. She has too much excesses
" faruuuuuqqqq" they shouted his name.
" what did I do" faruq's wife complained
" will you shut that gutter of yours and get upstairs " aunty aina ordered
" this calls for an early light out. everyone get to your room now and first thing tomorrow morning, during breakfast, you all should prepare your apology speeches. " his mum gave the final order and every one obliged.
Hajia hanne sent some scary daggers towards his mum. I mean hajia hanne should see true leadership. She gives one order and every one obeys.
Me and my girls walked to the room while khalifa walked back to his new room.
" drama dake gidanan yawuce wasa"
" as in eh"
" they are possessed "
" kudi ai bahauka bane"
"Exactly"
" khalifa knew all these will happen and broke up with you, but we were controlled by our emotions and acted blind, toh ga irinshi"
" hmmm Wahala no dey finish"
" I thought I loved drama but this one I can't handle "
"It's too much na. Person fit get depression right away"
"Walahi: "
" let me go check on khalifa" I said walking out of the room" I stepped out quietly noticing most lights off as everyone had dashed to their various rooms. I could hear voices from different rooms, either arguing, apologising, watching movies or snoring.
" you slimy devil, where are you up to? night walker" I heard which got me startled. I turned to see faruq's wife behind me
" I am not a devil but i could be slimy"
" everyone in this family hates you "
" and yet you were almost kicked out of the house " I said smiling mischeveously. i continued my walk. I could feel her stare at me for long. I reached his door and knocked, there was no answer. I entered and checked round but i didn't see him. I was surprise to see the window slides opened, I went closer to it just to find a stare case outside it, I followed it and it took me to the rooftop, there I saw him in the garden with his hands tucked in his pocket starring at the stars and shivering from the cold Breez blowing his hair into different directions. He was wearing just his singlet and kaftan trousers. I walked quietly untill I was behind him, then I used my hands to circle him
" it's too cold outside here khalifa"
" does it matter" he said.
" I feel hurt sana. I am sad and devastated"
" I am the cause of all these"
" don't add to my injury, I beg you" he let go of my hands and went inside.
What have I done this time.
Urrggh.
I followed him in and he had already gotten into the shower. I started to debate on joining him or not.
" hey I am sorry" I said, collecting the sponge from his hand.
" upsetting you is the last thing I would intentionally do" I joined him standing behind.
Normally that's his position, standing behind but today I decided to be in his position. He didn't want to let go but he eventually did. After minutes, we were done. Then we stepped out and moved to the closet. He started wearing his clothes and I did same
" what time is the niqqah" I asked and he looked back at me
" 11" he silently said.
" ALLAH YA BAKU ZAMAN LAPIA" he didn't reply. I got ready for bed and he just sat on the sofa.
" aren't you going to bed"
" I want to clear my head"
" okay " I said I dived into bed
" I thought you were going to stay up with me"
" guy I am not the one getting married tomorrow"
" for real"
" yeah for real". I covered my head with the duvet and I remembered Someone made me the founder of **care for women foundation***
" on a second thought, my husband took me unaware today" I said coming down from the bed. I went and sqeezed my self in same sofa with him.
" I saw you on tv and I was telling my self, if this girl was single, I will pause my wedding and travel where ever she is to get her, however, she is sitting right next to me. Which of the favours of my LORD will I deny"
" non"I said
"Funny enough, she is sitting next to you kuma har zakamata kishiya da abokiyan gabanta"
" come down from my leg" he said pushing me and I wrapped my hands around his neck
" I wont" I objected and it became a struggle for us both until we fell to the ground. I still didn't let go
" na by force" he said
" yes na by force"
" you are a mood changer walahi" he said.
" but it's the truth" I said placing a peck on his cheeks. We starred at each other for long and communicated via our hearts and a tear dropped from my eyes. He used his thumb and wiped it off. he started drawing soothing circles on my back, little by little I slept off.
The next morning, I woke up quite late and when I did, he wasn't next to me. I was alone in the room. I went in to wash my face and brush my teeth, soon i was out, I met him in the room with the maid setting the mat.
"Goodmorning Mrs khalifa"
" morning" and the she left. I checked the time and it's almost 10
" goodmorning ango aren't you running late"
"Everyone is talking about you"
" why"
" you know they've never imagined seeing you on tv even in their wildest dream. "
" did I mess up"
" you were goooooood" he said and I smiled
" the devil has given them an assignment" he added
" I really wanted to attend the kamu fa"
" lol. you will get to attend other stuff ai. Like kawu amarya and all. Sana I need you to look your best when your attention is needed."
" say no more"
" and you don't have to stay back in the house if you don't want to.
You could start your furniture shopping and all, then you return in the evening coz I know they will summon your presence when she arrives."
" say no more"
" I said evening not night oo"
" say no more"
" ban yarda da ke ba. Set your alarm" and I laughed. We ate quietly and his phone never stops ringing."
" I am gonna go change and join the boys" he said as we both stood up. I walked him to the door and I continued to pray endlessly for him. my heartache like hell. He pulled me to himself wrapping his hands around my waist
" it might be the hardest of all days but please take care of your self for me" he placed a kiss on my forehead and left. I fell to the ground immediately and wept hard. Kishiya fa. Somebody that hates me like hell.
However I had to brace my self. I went back to our room.
on my way, I could see the true essence of wealth. The massive crowd that had gathered, I could barely pass through. The house smells toxic as a result of different designer perfumes. It was choking. The smell of food has bombarded every where. There was much noise pollution, I see the butler almost running mad trying to organise, supervise and giving instructions. Rich kids moving up and down In their hoverboard looking fresh. I did manage through and got to the room
" salam. " I said and i don't see them anywhere just to hear noise coming from the closet.
" no this one is too loud and lacks class"
" you think"
" may be you should go for this one"
" not really, it's classy but not sharp "
" oh you want something eye catchy kenan"
" obviously"
" assignment zamu basu"
" hahaha" they both laughed and shook hands
"Weldone both of you" I said and they got startled.
" is that you"
" no it's your exhusband's ghost"
" sana sorry now. I am just trying to find something reasonable to wear. Kinsan matan governors zasuzo. We need to represent"
" urrghhhh" I said. I went to the bathroom and had a nice shower. I looked at my skin under water and I still glow sun and a smile crept out my lips.
I had my bath, prayed then got into the closet thinking of what to wear.
rayhana walked in with a gift box.
" your husband no dey tire" she said dropping it. I opened and closed it back immediately, too much glitters. I went further to wear a simple jalabiya and a sunshade more like a disguise. I made my way out
" what up with you going out and leaving us with this wild animals"
" i suppose you all can take care of yourselves. I need to be alone" I said walking out. I followed the back door to the parking lot, again,
There were so many cars parked outside, I hardly think I can get the car move. Finally, a decition hit me. I went on to aircomodore's car. Once I touched his car horn, the drivers started moving their cars. They thought It was the aircomodore's . Successfully I drove out.
first, I went to ** care for women foundation .**, There I met with the rest and we had conversations on how to reach the locals and enlighten them about the risk involved in home birth, child almajiri and early marriage.( child abuse) Once it was 11, I congratulated my husband and wished him well.
However, I tried hard not to cry but it was impossible, a drop had to just fall,
" is everything okay" aliya asked, she's the treasurer
" yeah"
" my dear it's not easy" she said.
" I am trying hard"
" try harder " she said and I nodded. She had to pat me on the back.
" stay focused Sana" I said to my self. We continued and soon it was time for zuhr and We closed for the day. After praying, I went to the nearest restaurant to eat. Imagine having a house full of food and yet I am outside eating.
" dining without me" I heard, i raised my head up to see the groom settling in the seat opposite mine. I was surprised to see him
" khalifa is that you"
" yeah" he leaned in to give me a peck
" what are you doing here, you are supposed to be merrying"
" is a lunch with my obsession a bad Idea"
" not really" I said blushing
" then just dine with me quietly"
" but how is she going to take this"
" it's non of your business"he said firmly.
" sorry" I silently said
" aren't you happy to see me?"
" I am"
" mind telling me how happpppyyyyyy you are"
" I am joyfull" I said
" but really how did you locate me"
" we are in a computer world"
" you tracked me"
" I did" he said and I smiled"
" actually, i thought I should check on how you are taking in and I see you absorbing it well. I most say, I am proud of you"
" thanks"
" seems you stole my friends heart coz they all supported my coming" and I smile again
" what time are you coming back home?" He asked while diving into his meal
" 3" I said
" very well then, I am sure she most have been conveyed to the house by that time" He said and I nodded.
After a while, he stood up and plastered a kiss on my forehead then he left. I wrapped up and headed straight to Vento furniture for my house fittings, I checked out their catalogue and I was literally confused what to pick.
Then i thought about the ones we had kept in fahad's house, I hear he doesn't use the house and besides khalifa had paid for all damages, I still have a key to the flat so, I will order for them to be packed coz they are still beautiful and not in use.
After that, I went in and lodge in a hotel for a brief nap, then get my self ready to face my rival's arrival.
" you promised to show up sana"
" huh" I said gaining my consciousness
" khalifa is that you"
" expecting someone else?"
" no. I will soon be home"
" be fast about it coz the bride is on her way"
" IN SHA ALLAH " my makeup artist was already on stand by, I called her in while I had a bath and prayed
" please I need something light"
" Done"she said
Dr fati.
ALHAMDULILLAH, I have conquered a certain fear in me, I was scared khalifa won't pull up to the wedding and also feared being laughed at and humiliated. But right now I feel like throwing my head into the window and shout out loud,
I am officially Mrs Mohammed khalifa !!! So this is how it feels getting married.
every feeling is overwhelming but most importantly I got married to the man of my dream after waiting long.
I looked behind to have a glimpse of the convoy behind, seeing all those cars just for my sake hits differently. The drive was slow but we arrived. I was ushered in and welcomed as expected, his home was filled with people just like mine, samira the eldest wife was about to take us to a guestroom when another wife suggested I should be taken to khalifas room. I could hear some arguments but does it even matter? all I want right now is to be in his room. I share equal right too. My family escorted me up to his front door but turning the door knob, the room was locked. Wait..... but why would he even do that. I am his wife
" I know sometimes we don't think right, but it doesn't mean we should disrespect sana like this" ashraf's wife said. I thought this lady used to be on my side all the time
" I am just trying to put my self in sana's shoes"
" abeg keep quiet" the rest shouted at her in irritation which made me smile coz I feel honoured to be on their side.
" khalifa never ceases to amaze me. So he locked his door"
" even after being aware that his wife will be taken to his room"
" tor the door is firmly locked" they said trying to unlock the door. One of the maids came forth and informed us that the supposed room is set for us. My heart felt empty. I was sad.
Did he do that on sana's behalf?.
" kunawasa da aircomodore kenan" ashraf's wife added quickly as we walked in a different direction to another room Where I refreshed and ate.
" salam bride how are you, I hope you are settling in well. Please do hurry up for the nasiha, and budan kai" his aunties said
" atleast you and sana should see" his mum added. With that my heartskipped. Thinking about her alone frustrates me. I cannot imagine that human being broke my brother's heart, then end up marrying my husband. This girl sickens me walahi. But I had to act up and get more people on my side. Even though 97 percent of the family are in for me.
30 mins later we were already going to the big parlour. Everyone is present. My aunties held me gently as we descend the staircase. I could hear the guda very loud celebrating me. We got down and I sat on the floor close to the elders, they throw in all the advice in the world. I raised my head to search for sana, lo and behold I saw her sitting next to her friend and sister. they both look familiar. The two girls were obviously sending me daggers but sana wooowed me.
She was on a red and gold lapaya. It was very beautiful. It had stones embroidered on it and wrapped neatly on her, she had this low-key face beat but it brought out her beauty coolly like a moon shining in the dark. Her jewelries were gold, she wore a red wristwatch and a red cover shoe. Her headtie was ture gagantstiya but in a very respectfull manner. How can someone look this good.
I could see khalifa taking a glimpse of sana time to time and they would chat between the glimpse, she would flash him a subtle smile. I watch them and my heart stiffens.
Finally everything was done,
both budan Kai and nasiha. We were advice to learn to co-exist. Dinner is tomorrow IN SHA ALLAH.
I watch sana walked out.
I have no idea why I am detailed about her existence. Where on earth did this creature came from.
Sana
No one said i look good or anything but guess what? I bloody don't care coz I could see my self in all their faces. even the general had to give me a thorough look. I walked out and allowed them continue with their stuff, atleast i have done my part. I have filled where I was needed.
my girls will give me the fela later on. I drove to our supposed house to see my own flat, then I also went to fahad's house to see how I can convey my funitures. I walked round and I could only whisper how wonderful GOD is. I inspected my things and everything was intact but the place was dusty. I went into the bedroom and picked my frames.
" who do we have here" I heard and i shouted to my highest volume
" miss me" he added and when I finally turned, it was fahad. I was practically shaking
" I came to get my stuffs"
" stuffs " he said walking round the room with his hands tucked in his pocket. I ignored him and walked out heading to the entrance door but it was locked and my heart skipped more coz my keys are behind the door. I walked fast to the kitchen since there is a back door. Like a flash he grapped me and pulled me to the wall.
" I come here everyday to remember how you deceived me and used me"
" you are hurting me " i said and he pressed harder
" today, you have walked into the lions den and I would do as I please. even that your useless husband can't save you because he is busy getting married" like a flash again he tore my clothes and started acting dirty, touching every part of my body. I cried and shouted all I could but to no avail. I kept on crying coz I can't imagine me naked in another man's hold. i struggled but I was too vulnerable.
Slowly, he slipped down to the floor. blood rushed out of his mouth. He was dead. My eyes opened wide and I shouted seeing the blood river round in the kitchen. I checked round and I saw the knife I used to stab him. I kept shouting. I killed someone. I can't even remember how I did it. But I did it. I killed someone. My phone buzzed
" my love where are you? I can't seem to see you any where"
" khalifa I stabbed fahad to death" I said as the phone and tears slipped down. While I sat their in his blood.
This is bloody🤡🤡🤡
