Mr Aminu narrate the entire ordeal to Affan. Affan puff a sigh.
I'm not surprised. Ummi did that to you.
Abbah, that Doctor is nice. He saved you from Ummi.
Affan, Doctor khalifa didn't save me but Allah did.

Affan shook his head in agreement.
Abbah, I don't know why Amaan is different from us.
I don't know what I did to Amaan to deserve such hatred. Affan facepalm.
Affan, will you believe what I'm about to tell you? Mr Aminu asked.
Yes, Abbah.
Mr Aminu Humm.
Amaan is not my Son. Mr Aminu let out.

Affan chuckle.
You are joking, right? Affan muttered.
No. Mr Aminu muttered.
How? Abbah I'm confused.
You find out about it and you still have children with my Mom?
Abbah, I'm I the only child you have with her? Affan asked.
No. Adnan and Afnan are my children too. They are my flesh. Mr Aminu muttered.

Affan I love your Mom so much and I can't let her go.
She seek forgiveness from me and I forgive her.
Abbah, how did it happen? Are you not at home with her?
Affan, I wasn't at home with her.
I go on a pilgrimage to Mecca to worship Allah but before I left I had a one-night stand with your mom.

When I came back she told me she was pregnant.
I was surprised because I had one night with her before I left the house but I shrugged it off.
I took care of her to her EDD.
Your mother gave birth to a baby boy.
I wanted to name him Aryan but she suggested Amaan.
I agreed with her and we named him Amaan.

Abbah, how did you find out that Amaan was not your child?
Who is his father? Affan asked immediately Mr Aminu finished narrating the entire ordeal to him.
Amaan has a mole in his heart which the Doctor declare that it is inherited from his parents.
I don't have it nor your mom.
I then remember my friend Salim has a mole in his heart too.
I shrugged the thought off my head because I trusted my friend.

I secretly do a DNA test.
The result was out and I found out Amaan was not my Son.
I was devastated.
I confront your Mom.
She refused to tell me the truth.
I threatened to divorce her and she speak up.
I was flabbergasted beyond shock.
I head to Salim's house and beat the hell out of him.
I informed the police and Salim was arrested.

I punish your mom by sending her home without divorcing her.
She leave you with me and go with Amaan.
We spend two years apart.
Hafsah pleaded with me.
Her parents pleaded.
I miss my wife too.
I forgive her and bring her home.
I abstain myself from touching her for a year.

I forgive Salim too but unknown to me it was the biggest mistake I made.
Affan, why did Amaan elope with your Son? Mr Aminu asked.
Because I took the company from him. Affan muttered.
Mr Aminu Humm.
Daddy, Jawad barge inside Mr Aminu's room.
Mummy, is crying. Jawad muttered.

Affan abruptly stand up.
Let's go. Affan muttered and took Jawad out.
He take a long stride to Khadija's bedroom.
Affan walk in and see Khadijah crying.
He glance at the twins who are watching their crying mother skeptically.

Affan move closer to her.
Why are you crying?
My stomach ache. Khadijah cried.
Mummy, please don't fall sick like Grandpa. Jawad muttered with a cracked voice.
Khadijah smile.
I will not fall sick.
Is it your period cramp? Affan asked.
Yes, Khadijah muttered.
Affan rose to his feet.
He walk to his room and return with a pill.
He prepare hot tea for her.

Take this you will feel better.
Hubby, medicine doesn't work on me. Khadijah pout.
Should I inject you?
No, I will take the medicine. Khadijah glare at Affan and take the pill from him.
She shove it in her mouth and gulp it down her throat with the hot tea.
Haven, this is Jawad's first day in school. He shouldn't be late. Khadijah muttered weakly.
