Hubby I'm fine.
Haven, you are in your last trimester.
I would stay back because I have feelings you will give birth today. Affan drop his briefcase.

Afnan I am not strong enough to prepare it please help me out.
Afnan hiss.

Ummi, Afnan hollered.
Hajiya Hafsah walk to the living room.
Maybe you should talk to her. Afnan muttered eyeing Khadijah.
Khadijah,
Ummi please I can't prepare breakfast for you.
I'm not strong enough to do that. Let Afnan do it.
Khadijah I didn't ask you to prepare breakfast for me.
Did Afnan tell you that?

Afnan why did you tell her I want her to prepare breakfast for me?
Ummi I'm hungry and she is a good cook. Afnan mumble.
Khadijah shook her head.
Khadijah I wanted to tell you that I bought the baby's clothes for you. They are in my bedroom let's go so that you can check them. Hajiya Hafsah muttered.
Afnan I will deal with you later.
Khadijah turn to Afnan.

Why did you hate me? What have I done to you?
What transpires between you and Khalil?
Afnan who is Khalil? Khadijah asked.
My boyfriend.
I don't know him. I haven't seen him before.
There are a lot of people with that name.
But he know you and he told me something about you.
Look Afnan, I don't have the strength to start explaining myself to you or think about anyone who I can't recall.
If he knows me and tell you something about me then it's fine.

Khadijah stand up and walk to Hajiya Hafsah's bedroom.
Khadijah walk in.
Please sit on the bed.
Khadijah chuckle.
Ummi I can't sit on the bed. I prefer to sit on the floor now.
Hajiya Hafsah chuckle.
She take out eight shopping bags from her wardrobe and give them to Khadijah.

Khadijah collect them from her.
She take the clothes out.
Thank you, Ummi.
They are all beautiful.
Who did the shopping for you? Hajiya Hafsah asked.
My stepmom. Khadijah muttered.
Hajiya Hafsah Humm.
I'm sorry I didn't want to stress you and I also need my privacy that's why I didn't give you the money to do the shopping. Khadijah muttered.

No, it's okay. Hajiya Hafsah muttered.
Khadijah arrange the clothes inside the bag.
The door to the bedroom crack open.
Amaan walk in.
Khadijah's heart started beating rapidly.
Affan told her last night that Amaan has been released but Khadijah have not cross paths with him.

Amaan glanced at her, her big bump and then the bags.
He give his mother a disappointed look.
Get out I want to talk to my mom. Amaan thundered.
Khadijah shuddered.
She take the bags and stand up.
Khadijah felt a pang on her lower abdomen immediately she held the doorknob.
She let go of the bags and clutched her stomach.

Are you alright?
Ummi why are you asking her?
Are you the one that impregnated her?
If she need help she should call her husband who owns the child. Amaan muttered with a hiss.
Khadijah Yelp. Tears stream down her cheek.
Ummi please help me. Khadijah cried.
Ummi please leave her. Let the child die.
Amaan, I will help her.
I am a mother and I know how it feel to undergo labor. I will not let her suffer.
Go to your room and get your car key let's take her to the hospital. Hajiya Hafsah muttered sternly.
