CHAPTER TWELVE
When we make a sacrifice or make a mistake which we know it would hunt us for life we become calloused we have little hope about everything, it's not difference for fauziya, she couldn't come up with money to settle for her daughters hospital, she tried for good 3 days and all hope seems impossible so she went back to Mustapha and this time she was clear of ascertain amount which money has never been a problem to him so he took from her what she doesn't want and gave her the sun of 250k in return as fauziya left the house that evening she was crying and calling the almighty to please not burden her with that which would make her be a woman she doesn't want to, fauziya settle her daughter's hospital, her family ?
They are dead to her she cried because she feels her mum have the capability to help her but she didn't and even her sister whom she believe they can if they had wanted to denied her that which she needed desperately.
"Thank you doctor."fauziya say with a smile and the doctor nod at her.
"Amal,
Goodbye,
Take care."the doctor says as fauziya leave the hospital with her daughter who is healthier than ever.
They climb the tricycle and head home, 4days In the hospital with her daughter yet none of her family member care to come check on her.
"Mummy I'm hungry."Amal says and fauziya nod.
"Don't worry I will give you food when we reach home."fauziya reply, it's not as though the 250k mustapha gave to her was going to change her life,
It solve her problem the mean time the least she has with her is below 100k, her EDD is around the corner and she knows it's another responsibility but she did promised herself one thing, she's never selling her body to anyone no matter the situation, the Almighty that would throw the test on her would certainly find a way for her, throughout the 25minutes drive in the tricycle all fauziya would do was think about her late dad, she try not to think of her late husband because whenever she does she remember what she did with mustapha she feels disgusted about herself and she cursed mustapha for taking advantage of her vulnerability.
"Thank you."fauziya says to the tricycle man and pays his money before grabbing her daughter.
She barely reach for the gate and it open, her mum with an unfamiliar man exit the house.
"Good evening mummy."fauziya greets as her mum smile widened.
"Fauziya welcome,
How is your daughters body."she ask as fauziya greet the man, she quickly enter the house not wanting to prolong any conversation with her mother because she feels it's pointless.
Once she settles in the bedroom she drop the little things from the hospital which was mostly Amal medication.
"Amal let me go get something for you to eat,
Do you want noodles?"fauziya ask, the doctor advises she should improve Amal's diet and to make sure the girl eats well.
She exit the bedroom just in time her mother is entering the parlor.
"Where are you going to?"her mother ask and fauziya halt.
"I'm going to get some noodles to cook for Amal."fauziya reply for the door.
"Go and carry 3 from the kitchen, with 2 eggs and cook for her."Hajiya Maryam says and fauziya stare at the woman fazed and puzzle.
