YOURS, JANNAH

#TWELVE

Hajiya Maimuna and Aisha who's holding Imara around her shoulder barged into the room the second Adnan rounded a corner probably to go see Doctor Abdussalam. Jannah was standing by the window just realizing that she was wearing only a vest beneath the gown and no other undergarments. But he wasn't staring at her body right?

"What happened? He looks almost emotional, like human when he left. What did you say?" Aisha beamed, placing Imara back on the bed to continue watching her movie.

Jannah gulped, something is stuck in her throat. "I called him a psychotic idiot and he left."

Aisha's smile broadened, taking up her entire face., the girl is such a maverick"Yes! That's the spirit, girlfriend. I'm so loving this already. Wait, where's my phone?"

She probed for her phone only to conceive that she's forgotten to tap record video when she left the room. It's all that Adnan, so freaking intimidating. She groaned and stomped her feet on the floor.

"Psychotic idiot? That's temperament, it'll work I guess. Can you recall your entire conversation? I want to make sure he is not trying to outsmart us." Hajiya Maimuna draw her to the couch, ordered a dismayed Aisha to close the door and stay there to guard.

Jannah told her everything from the sarcastic words she's mistakenly blurted out when he hovered over her down to the emotion she's seen in his face before he schooled his expression though she is still doubting whether she's seen it or her eyes were playing gimmicks on her. The man is not capable of those, that's just how he is.

By the end of her spiel, Hajiya Maimuna is beaming and Aisha is jumping around like a kangaroo about to give birth. "You will have him shackled in no time. I can feel it in my veins and blood."

"I also have a feeling that something positive is going to come out of this. And dear, that feral side we were talking about was all in you. From the conversation you just had with him, I know that is all within you and you weren't acting at all. Don't hold back." Hajiya Maimuna advised, her hand on one of Jannah's shoulder.

Jannah gave a smile absently before going to the bed to join her daughter. "When are we leaving?"

"I think in an hour or so. I'll go talk to Doctor Abdussalam and Adnan." Hajiya Maimuna left the room quietly, a few things webbing through her head. She needs to talk to Adnan about something, a few.

She made it to the office to find him already standing up ready to leave. She stopped him then push him back into the office. Her attention businesslike yawed to Doctor Abdussalam. "Can you arrange the discharge papers for us? I'd like to take my daughter-in-law back to her home."

Dr. Abdussalam narrowed his eyes slightly but nodded. "Right away." And he left the office leaving the two of them alone.

Hajiya Maimuna crossed her hands over her chest earning a raised brow from her son. Why are they all doing that today? First it was Jannah and now his mother too? That's why he hates staying around because he despise being bossed, only his mother can do that. Seems like Jannah is about to start that too but he'll halt it, he's leaving the country to Russia in a few days.

"I heard that she wants out of this marriage? What did you do to her, AD? I don't like how things are going already when you know this girl is now sick. She doesn't remember anything but she's already perceived that you had a terrible conjugation. This is so not done. You have to do something about it." She chided, her eyes sternly looking up at him.

"Do what? Change who I am because she isn't happy? What's happiness? Right, have food and shelter and she's got everything and more. Then what more does she need?" He frowned at his mother, turning his back to her as he searched absently around Dr. Abdussalam's office.
