Unknowingly Married

~33~

-The next day-
I had my bath and laid on my bed with intention of getting some rest. I closed my eyes and sleep was starting to overtake when my phone rang disturbing my peace. I hissed before I picked for you and checked the caller ID.

It was halima calling. Halima my PA. I've not been to my office in a while. I picked the call and said my Salam. "As-Salam-alaikum ma'am." Halima's sweet voice came through.

"How are you doing? It's been a while." I muttered. "Yes indeed. And I'm doing very fine, ma'am when will you be coming back to the office?" Halima asked.

My smile dropped immediately. "Uhm, I'll come today." I said not sure of what I said. "Oh wow! Okay ma'am we'll get somethings ready for you." Halima said. "Sure. See you soon." I said and smiled. "You too." I heard Halima say before I ended the call.

I took a bath and got ready quickly. I put on my office wear and headed on. But not before I greeted mama and baba. I then headed outside after I grabbed my car keys. I got into my car and drove off.

I got to my office in no time and headed in. Immediately I stepped foot inside, it was like a concert literally. And everyone was shouting 'welcome back ma'am' or 'we are glad to see you here ma'am' here and there. And at a point I got tired of thanking everyone and smiling.

I was released when I saw Halima she will get me out of this crowd. Finally your here. I murmured. We got to my office and I started some work. I didn't want to stress myself too much because... you know, pregnancy and stuff.

"And "Dr hanif" had warned me." I said and immediately rolled my eyes. Huff. I huffed because I was already tired, anyway I get tired easily.

I called Halima through the landline and asked her to meet me downstairs in about 5 minutes to collect my office keys because it was almost 6 and I need to get home.

I locked my office and headed downstairs with help of the lift. I handed Halima my keys and left. I drove home and parked my car at its usual spot before heading inside.

Once I got inside, "MANAL!" I heard someone yell. It was coming from upstairs. I paused to figure out the voice and it belonged to abuabakar. I dropped my bag where I was standing and ran upstairs.

When I reached the door of his room, the other 'manal' was standing there as well. I rolled my eyes before heading inside she followed me as soon as I went in.

We stood there beside each other and abuabakr looked ag us confused. He looked at me, then he looked at her, and it repeats itself for about 2 minutes before he stands up and hugs HER.

By seeing that, my heart shattered into a million pieces before the tears started doing their job. It was so... heartbreaking.

It showed that he hadn't regained his memory yet. It was just the worst view I could ever see. I watched them as they were in each other's arms.

Abubakar facing the other side of the room and whatever they call her, facing me. She smirked at me while I hissed silently before leaving the room. I ran to my room to go cry when I found my mom in-law sitting on my bed with my bag beside her.

Oh she picked it up. I muttered inwardly. "Mom." I said quickly wiping my tears so she wouldn't notice even though I knew I already failed miserably at that.

"Mom, what are you doing here?" I asked sitting beside her. "Uhm, oh! I forgot my bag downstairs right, silly me." I said and chuckled. I then flashed her a smile. It's called 'smiling through the pain'. I locked my bag and dropped it at the vanity table.

I removed my jewelry and my hairtie. Which revealed my long silky hair. I didn't bother to feel shy or anything since it was only mama and myself in the room.

I was heading to the wardrobe when mama called me. "Manal, come here." She said. I knew I was up for scolding or something.
Idd do if as told and went to sit beside her.

"Why are you crying dear?" "You don't look alright." She says and I laugh. "Mom is completely fine, now let me go change." I said and stood up. "Stop! Tell me dear." Mama said provoking me.

I sat down and started to narrate the whole scenario to her. "And then I left the room." I finally said. Mama sighed before speaking. "Manal my dear, just have faith in your god. And everything will be fine okay?" Mama said and I nodded.

"Oh Uhm mama, I want to tell you something I've been hiding from you." I muttered scratching the back of my head. "Go ahead." She said. "Uhm, I'm pregnant." I said going straight to the point.

I watched as mama's eyes widened. "Does your mom know about this?" She asks.
"No. Please tell her for me." I say. "What is wrong with you Manal? Why didn't you tell us?" Mama asked. "Well because,because, I found out before I left for the UK. And I didn't want to tell you because I knew if I had, then you wouldn't let me or Dia go." I said my face facing the floor. "Oh god! You should have told me." Mama said.

"I'm sorry." I say. "Fine. Go freshen up and come down for dinner okay?" Mama says. I nodded and she left the room.

*sigh*
