My Sister My Enemy

Chapter Forty Three

Hhhhmmnn!!!! First of all let me take a deep sigh because mehn it's been a while here... let me start by apologizing to you all by not updating the story even though I promised to. It's because I lost that zeal and motivation I had a while ago to keep writing frequently and then believe me the idea was just not flowing and I don't want to give you guys a rubbish ending because you have been very patient with me and y'all deserve a very happy ending 😊 I hope my apology is accepted and you all will enjoy the chapter, so shall we...??

On their way back home, Baba Ali and his company kept talking about what Ibrahim told them and they are still in shock, not for the fact that Ibrahim did all he did but that Zarah, Maryam's very own biological sister was the mastermind behind everything he did because if it was left to him truly he wouldn't have gotten the liver to do all that.

"Kai duniya ina zaki damu! Baba Ali exclaimed. Wai where is that sibling love and empathy we used to have for our brothers and sisters? During our time idan aka ce Uwa daya Uba daya ya wuce wasa fa. We love ourselves so much that one can sacrifice his life for the other but unfortunately that is not the case anymore. Blood siblings are raging war between themselves over worldly desires."

"Indeed it is very unfortunate. Not only your time Baba, even us your children and a younger generation than yours we don't play with zumunci and that it was we have always teach our offspring too. I always tell my kids to never let this temporary world to make them drift apart from each other but as the saying goes ka haifi yaro amma baka haifi halin sa ba." Alhaji Nabeel added. This was how they continue to converse through out their way back to Baba Ali's house. In the sitting room Baba Ali concluded that Alhaji Nabeel should go back to Abuja and tell Abdulrahman's parent about whatever transpired in Katsina.

"Inshaa Allah I will find my way back to Abuja tomorrow and I am thinking of branching in Kaduna first to let Muhd's father know about everything because he has been asking me of how things are  going here, so it's better if they get informed too. At least it will clear Maryam's name in Muhd's eye even though that doesn't really matter anymore but I think Maryam owe us that much."

Baba Ali and Malam Hamza agreed to what Alhaji Nabeel just said.

"Very well then, I think that is also a wonderful thing to do actually. We wish you a very safe trip, Allah ya tsare hanya. Meanwhile I and Malam Hamza will take care of things here."

"Ameen Baba, but if I may ask, how do you intend to go about it now? I mean how would you break the news to Maryam's family? I am afraid her parents won't be able to take it all in and then the victim herself, I don't think she can take it gaskiya. " Alhaji Nabeel asked looking between Baba Ali and Malam Hamza.

"Well honestly I don't know how we are going to do that just yet but I believe by tomorrow I or Malam Hamza shall come up with something inshaa Allah and the truth is it will be difficult on them no matter how we intend to go about it but it's something they should all know especially Maryam because she is the one that has been wronged and hurt the most. Of course they will not like the experience but there is nothing we can do except to just go gentle on them."

"Yes inshaa Allah! It won't be easy kam but we pray Allah make it easy on them and on Maryam too and I believe that with the video recording we have you won't have any problem in trying to convince Abdulrahman's mother too." Malam Hamza said while they nod in agreement.

"I think that's it ma kawai!" Baba Ali Ali exclaimed excitedly and they looked at him in confusion not getting what he means.

"Okay let me elaborate, you see instead of us going to Maryam's house and start to beat around the bush or not even knowing where to start from, I think we will just play the video for everyone to see and hear it from the horses mouth, ko yaya kuka ce?" Alhaji Nabeel exchanged glances with Malam Hamza trying to reason with Baba Ali's idea and it seems perfect.
