BEYOND WORDS
chapter one
"Nothing will happen to your bag please, something I'll hang on my shoulder "I said taking the bag before leaving the room.
"Come back and we will continue with the perfume matter and wish you best of luck "
I heard her saying from the room, I just smiled and went to my mother's room.
***
My name is sumayyah lawal from jigawa state, both my parents came from jigawa state but we base in kaduna state, kabala.
My father has two wives, my mum and aunty farida whom he married later from abuja, they met when he went there for a seminar.
He married her because my mum couldn't conceive and he badly wanted a child, he married his second wife which got pregnant within 4 months of their marriage.
My mother was happy that my dad has finally got what he wanted even though it wasn't from her and sad that he packed all the love he had for her to his second wife and her unborn child.
Aunty farida gave birth to a baby girl which made my father very happy, he didn't care whether its a girl or boy unlike some men that wants only boys, he just wanted a child, a mini him and he has gotten it.
He started changing his behaviors towards my mum which made my mum very sad even with her patience.
My mother couldn't take what he was doing any longer so she started tahajjud asking God for a solution, asking Him for a child too even though she had been praying for that years ago.
After aunty farida gave birth with 8 months my mum got pregnant too, she was very happy that God has finally answered her prayers.
Even my dad got very excited that he gifted my mum with a new car, aunty farida got angry in her saying that when she gave birth he didn't give her anything but when hajiya mansura (my mother) gave birth, he gifted her a brand new car.
She confronted my dad about it that she wanted a car too since she had to ask first,he gifted his wife a car even though she was the one that first gave him his wishes.
My father told her that mansura is his first wife and because she gave birth first doesn't mean he don't love mansura because she didn't conceive early, and he bought her the car because he she has been patient with him even with everything he did to her when his second wife was pregnant.
My mum gave birth to me and named me after her mothers name, my father was very happy, after the naming ceremony he payed for all of them makkah(pilgrimage) him, my mum and me, and aunty farida and her daughter Aisha, they all were happy except for aunty farida
because he didn't do all that when she gave birth until when my mum gave birth.
*Continuation*
I went to Aisha's room to borrow a blue hand bag, because all my bags didn't matched with the dress I was going to wear and I didn't want to change because I had already put it in mind that that's what I wanted to wear, I didn't sight her anywhere in the room so I went ahead to carry the bag hanged on the bag hanger beside her mirror when I mistakenly dropped a bottle of perfume on the floor which made it broke into pieces and the perfume on the floor.
Just then she entered the room and saw me near her mirror and her perfume on the floor
"What the hell is this sumayyah?, you poured my new perfume that I bought just yesterday, its very expensive sumayyah, don't you know"
She said all in one breath fumming with anger
"I'm sorry Aisha I didn't do it deliberately, I'm very sorry"
"just sorry? Huh? What are you even doing here"
"I came to ask you for this blue bag, and i didnt see you anywhere in the room so i decided to take it and I accidentally fell you perfume I'm sorry" I said pointing at the bag
"Where are you going to this early morning? "
She asked me keeping the perfume talk aside but not forgetting because I know this girl, she never forgets.
"The interview I told you about last week, I'm going for it today, they sent me an e mail yesterday that they wants to see me by 9,and I'm already running late"
I answered her looking at my wrist watch
"Oh okay but make sure nothing happens to my bag"
"nothing will happen to your bag please, something I'll hang on my shoulder"I said taking the bag before leaving the room.
"come back and we will continue with the perfume matter and wish you best of luck "
I heard her saying from the room, I just smiled and went to my mother's room.
