THE HEARTS REAWAKENING

64: INANE DADDY.

I dare you to comment on each paragraph for an update.... Tomorrow? Or later....

KANO STATE, NIGERIA.

Imad sighed, the thing is aching. He has totally forgotten about Usayma coming back to the chamber after she's left for the first time ever. He didn't know where Jannah took her but he appreciated that, he wouldn't want to come back with her lurking around the chamber. But now that she is back, what is he going to say to her about the situation and the fact that his first wife is back in the chamber? The woman he's spent so many years hating? How would she look at it?

Of all the things he's expected, he didn't expect her to come in smiling at Amirah and not looking at all surprised. Even Amirah looks suspicious of that look she is featuring but didn't make it obvious, he just knew her too much to know what she is feeling. She is unsure about Usayma's blunt smile and kindest behaviour and is split into acting or being genuine too. She does not want to lower her guard only to get her to crumble.

She's liked Usayma right from the beginning, she even told him they were going to vibe more with her than with Wafa but he is not so sure now. They are married! Any woman would be jealous of her husband's wife whether she wants to be or not so she is keeping the guard high up. Who wouldn't? The co-wife who wouldn't talk to you properly the other time you met and now she is smiling and making her way towards you with that same smile?

And then she hugged you while you are still sitting on the chair in front of the remains of your food. Galvanised! Amirah sat there tensed but slowly brought her hand up to wrap it around Usayma's back, she smells nice. She scolded herself for thinking that because she does not know whether she herself smells pleasant. She just awoke.

Usayma pulled back and beamed at her again, Amirah finds that weird and uncomfortable. What? This is her husband's wife who's seen them back together after years. Who knows what her head is plotting up?

"It is nice to have you back. This guy has been nothing but a pain." Usayma commented, dropping her bag on the table and sat down on the chair closest to her from the other side, Imad is occupying the other.

The maids are staring with their mouths open, not believing what is happening in front of them. What does this woman want? What is she playing at acting all nice and molded to perfection? Who hugs a co-wife like that after she comes back to your home? It's either she has something up her sleeve or she is genuinely happy. Not knowing the answer is what is making them more frustrated, they want to tell people outside what is happening.

"Uh, likewise I think." She smiled back and to everyone it looks force but why does it matter? She won't be comfortable with this suddenly nice Usayma.

She knows things other people don't. Usayma was planning on wrecking any other relationship between her and Imad, even planning on joining Kilishi Enterprises for that. She might just be doing it because Imad told them half the story about his broken heart but still, she is being cautious. Maybe she found out what has happened and is now supporting her? But what happened? No one knows the truth behind the broken marriage.

They will all act like they do, even Imad did but in reality, they do not know anything.

"Potatoes? Imad got them from the main palace?" She asked, trying to build a conversation but she should know from the weird looks Amirah is giving her that she is not ready for that.

"Yeah, he got them." She answered this time without stuttering or making a mess. She cannot wait to ask why she is acting all nice and shit.

"Wow, they are really nice. I don't know who the cook is but I'd like to give him ten stars." Amirah nodded, Uzair deserves more than ten stars but she will go with that. The man could shackle hundred in the world's best Cook's competition without breaking a sweat.
