Aleemudeen

Seeing as she was taken to into bus the from the hospital really confirm that I lost her also.

"Innalilahi wah inaillahi rajiuna
From Allah we are and to him we will surely return to one day" I lost her to the cold hand of death again why always me.

I couldn't even get the chance to love her proper, what of the radiotherapy we where going just going to have just for her to get back.

I was ready to love her even after seeing her all burnt why much she have to leave now.

Mummy shook me vigorously, motioning me to move out of the car and give way for Rafah wait Rafah.

I hugged her tightly smiling and laughing at the same time saying all short of none sense to her, but the tight slap I received from my mother made me remember she wasn't my Rafah but another woman in the face and body of Rafah.

I couldn't bring my mind and soul to believe that she was not my Rafah but a married woman who is said to be my Rafah twin identical sister.

I got to my room locked the door and not let anyone in despite the pleading.

I can't leave, this life any more I can't. .

Aleemudeen was a shadow from his past yet again three mouths has already passed with him not praying bathing or eating, he  was sleeping on his bed and waking up after days, his room was dark because all curtain where down

His mother tried all she could to get him out of his state, she tried everything but everything failed and turned fruitless all she does day and night was pray to the Lord to make her son get better.

Meanwhile, everything between Ahmed and mermah was back to normal, she was already in her eight months of pregnancy.

Ahmed mother was still been herself even offering mermah to give up her job to her husband, just so she could sit ideally at home, that was when she lost it and said all sought f of things to the woman who gave birth to her husband.

Mermah pregnancy came with no complications, but Ahmed mother was the problem, she was now back in the house saying no woman was going to make her son becomes something she doesn't raised him to be, because on a fateful day when Ahmed over heard his mother exchange with his wife.

He asked his mother to stay away from his wife and let his family be, why was she only shoving face on his family when his elder brother wife was there been a busy woman not even wanting to have a child, that made her bust into tear saying all sort of things about mermerh bewitching her son and turning him against her son.

Mermah was feed up with her marriage not been a Happy one because of her mother in-law, she always pray and cry during the her sujood for Allah to end all those problem.

Her mother was always there to console her saying married is not at all bed of rose, it's full of ups and downs and patience is the only thing to have a Happy home.

"Ziyah" Ahmed yelled from outside the room obviously famming with range as he bragged Into the room not even saying a single Salam.

Mermah watched as he was heaving breath as though he ran a marathon, she was not going to give her mother inlaw the satisfaction of making her husband divorce her no.

Mermah thought in her mind, what had she done this time around to make Ahmed this furious again.

He wanted asking what the matter was for him to come bragging Inside her room with no single Salam.

"Ziyah", he called out again

"Yes" mermah replied.

"You told the maids not to take food to my mother, have you forgotten this is my house and the maids are under my foot not yours".

"Like wise Ahmed i am tired for your mother is nothing but the sole cause of our married falling apart, sadly we haven't reach our first year anniversary yet all this is happening are we even going to reach" mermah was already panting for breath at the end.

Ahmed went back to his mother asking if there was anything his wife ever did to make her hate her this much.

"Ahmed your wife did nothing but she made me not fulfilled my dreams Ahmed I promised myself to get you married to my sister daughter you love her too but since your wife came into your life everything seemed not to be going my way again"

From his mother statement Ahmed knew his mother needed so much help her case was different all she wanted in life was to have totally control of her children life which he doubt was never going to happened to him.

"Ummi I doubt you will have this control in my life, an sorry to sound disrespectful but All you made my wife away from this house away from you just for you to get a hold of yourself and not break my married, can't you just see I love my wife and we are happy together, do you think any other girl will let her take control of her husband life the way your doing"

Ahmed left his mother's room to his wife room where he asked her to picked all the needful thing for his taking her way from his mother and the house.

Mermah was not happy at how Ahmed and his mother relationship was but there was nothing she couldn't do about it.

"Ahmed I think you should go to your mother and see her she's not fine"
Mermah pleaded with her husband, she ran into ya Nana her husband sister the other day at the mall where Nana told her about her mother's illness.

"She's fine you shouldn't work yourself because of it I'll go see her when am less busy"

Who will let his mother in-law do what Ahmed mother is doing.
