                     * Jafar *

Jafar: "Even when I talked about kids you always try to change the topic, I thought you felt bad about not being able to get pregnant, so  I stopped. I always did my best to make you comfortable, I wanted you to be happy, I prayed for your happiness always, but what did you do? You never appreciated anything I did, you treated me badly but I didn't care because I was blinded by love "

Yusrah: " Stop thinking about it Sir, it will only break your heart even more! The best thing is for you to forgive so that you can find peace as well"

Jafar: "I don't think I can ever find peace, when she has only brought me war"

Aminu: "Don't say that Jafar, she's your wife no matter what, and I'm sure she didn't mean any harm"

Maria: "I'm sorry, please.. I really am, I don't want to lose you Jafar, I'm sorry" she sobbed really hard, I knew she was sorry but I can't just forgive her like that. It broke my heart to see her this way so I stood up to go upstairs but she held my leg,

Jafar: "Don't touch me!" I grab her hands off my leg

Maria: "I'm sorry" I walked pass her and went to my room.

                   * Nuriya *

Aisha: "if you see the way Alhaji was just raising his voice at Hajiya? You will be shocked!" she continued stiring her stew, I couldn't believe all she just told me

Nuriya: "Where is Maria now?"

Aisha: "I think she went to her mother's house, it's better that way because Alhaji is really in a bad mood"

Nuriya: "Why is this happening? She told me the other day that she wants to have kids, why would she do this then?"

Aisha: "I don't know, I just hope they iron things out. Because it's obvious that he really loves his wife, if it were other men, they would have sent her packing by now"
I felt pity for Jafar, I can't imagine how he is feeling right now. The pain is worse when the one you love caused it, I pray he gets through this.

                   *********

I was currently looking for Jafar, it was time for lunch, he wasn't in his room, living room or at the study. Both Aisha and Inna forced me to go call him because they didn't want to be the ones to face his wrath, if he was still angry.
I pray he doesn't lash out on me. I went to the backyard and I saw him sitting on a wooden chair, typing on his laptop on a table, there was a bottle water on the table as well, he wore a black t-shirt and a dark grey sweat pant.

Nuriya: "I hope I'm not interrupting?" I asked in the nicest tone ever, I noticed the bandage on his hand

Jafar: "Not really, what can I do for you?" he didn't even look at me

Nuriya: " It's time for lunch, and I know you must be hungry"

Jafar: "No I'm not, thanks! " this time he raised his head to look at me and faked a smile, his eyes were red that it made me sick in my stomach

Nuriya: "Understood! " I turned to leave quickly, 'at least I tried my best'

Jafar: "Aren't you even going to persuade me? You ain't nice Nuriya" I turned to face him, and he stood up

Nuriya: "I.. I just didn't think it was the best of time to do that considering the situation..."

Jafar: "Oh so you know already? Lemme guess Aisha told you!" I looked away to avoid his eyes "that girl just can't keep her mouth shut"
