Author's POV💕

Istanbul, Turkey.

"Mummy when is daddy coming home?" Umaima asked her mum who was getting her dressed up from school.

Now she's gotten used to them asking her the same questions about their dad over and over again everyday but they'll never get used to her answer.

It's been a year and she expected them to move on from the idea that his ever coming back but that just seemed more difficult than expected.

They had started getting used the fact that he was no longer with them but then he sent birthday presents for each of them with a note saying I'll see you soon.

They're now five years old and can read so Maryam couldn't hide that from them.

She was upset seeing the presents but they were just too much to ignore, it looked like he bought a whole supermarket for them.

Iqra convinced her to go back to him but even though she was now living in regrets she was still adamant on her decision.

After all she feels she didn't divorce him just to go back to him one year later.

Not a day passes that she don't miss him, she's gotten the idea that he has now moved on cause Aiza kept in contact saying Aliyu was better off without her and sending pictures of some of the girls she was planning to set Aliyu up with.

They were very beautiful women from the tribe of Fulani and shuwa Arab, she was beautiful but her beauty can't be compared to some of their cause they were absolutely stunning.

She does get jealous and angry cursing him if he has moved on and convincing herself that it's a good reason she shouldn't go back to him.

Umar and Farida are also living in turkey and she's been in contact with them. Their relationship was now good unlike before, Umar was acting like a father and uncle figure to the kids and they seemed to enjoy his company more than that of their mother.

Abubakar was now a year old and gets along more with Maryam than his mum for some reason. Farida was happy about that cause she knew the only time Maryam was sincerely happy was when she was with the little boy.

Manal kept in contact with her as well and they had a healthy bond but Summaya was still giving her the attitude from time to time. Rukkaya was living in Qatar with her husband and communicates with Maryam as well from time to time.

"Mummy will daddy come to pick us from school?" Ummi asked as she let out a sigh

"No" she responded walking out of the house holding their lunch boxes

"Why?" Umaima asked

"Cause I'll be the one coming to pick you up" she responded

"But daddy say 'I'll see you soon' so his going to come" Umar said

"He will come but not today okay" she said putting them in the car one after the other before getting in the driver's side and driving off shortly

Listening to their none ending bickering Maryam pulled up in front of the school thanking God, finally she'll get a break from them asking of their father.

Soon after she drove off to work welcomed by Layla. The day was the same for her as usual, spending 5 hours at work before heading off home to get things ready before the kids come home.
