My Sister My Enemy

Chapter Forty Four

"Oh ya Allah! Wallahi if someone else was to come and tell me this then I will never believe it but the fact that it's you and you even went this far to dig up the truth left me with no option than to truly believe it. Amma a gaskiyar magana this Zarah of a girl is wicked, in fact I want to see her, I want to see her wicked face. I want to ask her how she could peacefully sleep while her sister lives in anguish. The whole situation wouldn't have been this bad if only she wasn't her sister, it will be much better if she was a stranger but then..." Alhaji Ali couldn't contain his fury, beyond his own imagination he couldn't believe that the truth will hurt him the way it did and now he was left wondering what Maryam's father will go through when they find out too.

They were all seated in the living room in Alhaji Ali's residence. Earlier that day, that is a day after Alhaji Nabeel has came back, he took his wife to Abdulrahman's house where he disclosed everything that happened to them including the video recording of Ibrahim's confession. It was indeed a terrible discovery for them and Hajia Zeenatu was beyond embarrassed for her actions, she couldn't believe that she almost get this alliance cancelled all because of a lie from the two morons. If she will have her way she would like to punish those ingrates herself for playing with her mind and making her doubt Maryam, her only son's happiness.

"I thank God that this wedding wasn't cancelled because how could I have looked into my son's or Maryam's eyes after knowing this. But still the same I feel so bad for causing the delay in this marriage. This is not nice at all." Hajia Zeenatu said with a sad look on her face and her sister tried to console her.

"I know you can't help but feel bad right now but on a brighter note if you haven't insisted on pausing this wedding then we wouldn't have get to know the truth. It was your words that made my husband here and Baba Ali to take it upon their selves to find out the truth about Maryam and to prove her innocence and alhamdulillah they have succeeded at least now our minds will all be at ease that Maryam is not bad news or addition to our family. So don't beat yourself down because of this but instead I will say you should be happy that finally Abdul is going to get married to the woman he loves, he is going to get his happiness back and I am very sure that is exactly what you want as his mother, his happiness."

Hajia Zeenatu felt lighter after hearing what her sister said and it made her feel a little less guilty than she felt few minutes ago.

"That is exactly the whole point, Hajia Zakiyya you have said well." Alhaji Ali said smiling at her and she smiled back.

"I think without any more hesitation we should reach out to Maryam's family and sort things out. Let's do this wedding real soon since we have found out the problem." Alhaji Ali said to Alhaji Nabeel sitting forward in his seat.

"Yes I agree with you but I think we can't reach out to them immediately as Baba Ali is still yet to tell Maryam's parents about our findings. When we talked yesterday night he said he was handling some few things so they won't be going to Maryam's place until in two days that will be tomorrow inshaa Allah. So I think we will have to wait until they are done with digesting the information first." Said Alhaji Nabeel.

"A'ah if that is the case why don't we go join them, I would love to be part of this sitting not because of anything but I want to see the two faces behind all this drama and we can also stay behind and finalize everything their ma in person which will even be much better I think, or what do you say?" Alhaji Ali asked looking from his wife to Alhaji Nabeel and Hajia Zakiyya and they were all happy with his idea. They all agreed that the best way to end all of this was to be part of Baba Ali's meeting with Maryam's family after all they have everything to do with whatever is going to be discussed their.

"Ai shikenan ma kaga faduwa tazo dai dai da zama! Once we have finish with this we can then discuss the wedding date and fix everything before coming back."
