Unknowingly Married

~19~

8 months later~
Manal's POV
It's been eight months since my pregnancy, and I have one month to my delivery. This pregnancy is really hard. But Alhamdullillah, Abubakar has been of great help. I love him so much, he's very supportive. And hanan brightens my mood every day. She's so cute. Inshallah my daughter will be as cute as her.

"Hello mama?!" I said almost immediately I picked the call. "Ya like Manal."(how are you Manal). Mama said. "Lafiya na kalau."(I'm fine). I simply replied. "Toh Alhamdullillah."(okay thank god). She said and I smiled. "Ya chiki?"(how's the pregnancy)? She asked. "Lafiya, Alhamdullillah."(fine, thank god).  I replied. We spoke for a while then I ended the call.

I was watching Netflix when I picked up my phone to check the time. It was 3:00! I'm late for my doctor appointment. But thank god it's the family doctor,Dr.ma'u. Her name is actually Asmau. We have a bunch of family doctors but I prefer her more.

I just feel a lot more comfortable with her. Abubakar suggested a doctor, but I had to refuse knowing I wasn't comfortable.

"Abubakar mu tafi, na yi lati."(Abubakar let's go, I'm late). I said to Abubakar who was wasting time. "Toh ganinan zuwa, bari in dauka mukuli."(okay I'm coming let me take the keys). He said. Abubakar was wearing a dark blue caftan that looked really good on him with a zany bukat cap, while I wore a free gown.

We arrived at the hospital and we're currently at the reception. "Umm...excuse me, we have an appointment with Dr.Asmau." Abubakar said to the receptionist. "Okay, that way sir." She replied calmly. We went ahead to Dr.Mau's office.

"Salam." I and Abubakar muttered silently. "Salam." Ma'u replied. "Yi hakuri na yi lati."(sorry I'm late). I muttered. "A'a ba komai."(no, it's nothing). She uttered and smiled.

After the appointment, we headed to cold stone. I wanted to buy ice cream, and of course Abubakar couldn't refuse. And even if he did, I would just blackmail him with some puppy eyes. We arrived at coldstone and Abubakar went in to get me my favorite ice cream.

At a point, I was scared because of the weird people that keep passing by. And besides I was all alone in the car. Abubakar later came back and I felt more relieved.

We headed home. When we arrived, Abubakar parked the car at its usual spot and we headed inside. "Welcome sir." Came Habiba's annoying voice. For some reason, I don't like her.

I just hissed and headed to my room. After pushing her out of my way. I went to my room and started sleeping. To be honest I sleep more the past few days.

The next day~
Today I will be going to hafsah's home Inshallah. I got blackmailed by Hanan. She's forcing me to take her with. "Abubakar I'm ready." I said. "Okay let's go." He said as we stepped out of the house. Abubakar helped me in the car and hanan hopped in.

We started the journey and before you know it we were there. "Bye bye." Hanan said to Abubakar and waved at him. I smiled at that. We baded him goodbye and went into the house.

"Hafsah ya kike."(hafsah how are you). I said to her after we got into the house. Hanan went to play with Farouk while me and hafsah were gisting. "Lafiya kalau."(fine). She muttered. We kept chatting and chatting.

It was maghrib time and Abubakar wasn't here. I brushed it off my mind thinking it was just traffic. It was almost time for isha. I decided to call him. He didn't lick the call at first.

"Hello Abubakar, ina kake?"(hello Abubakar, where are you)? I asked. "Yi hakuri, ga ni nan zuwa."(sorry, I'm coming). He said and ended the call. I became less worried after the call. After about 5 minutes Abubakar arrived. I baded Farouk and hafsah goodbye then me and hanan left.

"Abubakar why did you take so long?" I asked pouting. "Wani shegan police ne yazo ya tare ni wai ban bi traffic light ba, za su karpa kudi, shi ne muka tsaya magana kenan."(it's one stupid police that stopped me saying I beat the traffic signal and that he'll collect money from me, that's why I was late). Abdul muttered all at once.

We got home and boy was I tired. To say I'm tired is an understatement, im drained. I changed to my nighties and got ready to sleep. Hanan slept in the car and Abubakar picked her up.

Unknown POV
"Wallahi abuabakr I will never forgive you." I muttered to myself. "I also will have my revenge no matter what." I said to myself again. "Abuabakar you forgot me and got married to a foolish girl."

"You forgot our bond and that one might." I said to myself as I wiped the tears threatening to fall.

"Mum, I'll be going to Nigeria in about two months or so." I said to my mum. "But-
"No mum, I'm going." I said cutting her off. "You know your father hates that country and has strictly ordered us not to ever set foot there." She said. "I know, but he's not around." I said remembering my father went to Canada.

"I hope it's not about that revenge plan of yours." She muttered. "It's not mum." I lied and left the room.

Ever since I left abuabakar I've been devastated. Even though I'm the one that left to the country, I didn't expect him to get married to someone else. That really broke me. I found out by checking Instagram.
