CONTRITE HEARTS

CHAPTER FIVE

I have my own expectations with Yahya before everything going on in my life,
My marriage life, how peaceful and happy I will be with my spouse and so many things,
I know my Marriage with Ya Abdullahi isn't gonna be anything great, I don't expect him to treat me good or take me as a wife, I have been in this house for good 2weeks and I can count how many times I've seen him and the exchange between us was simple, Hudah said she will be visiting this weekend,
By Monday I will go back to my NYSC place, This house is a simple 3 bedroom apartment, it's been averagely furnished, simple and fancy, surprisingly the kitchen is big, the parlor is also spacious and the bedrooms are okay.

Exiting the bedroom I adjust the hijab I'm wearing my bumps is growing it's too obvious for me to even wear a top, I am still not sure how I'm gonna wear my uniform tomorrow.

"Can I come later?"Ya Abdullahi's voice says from the kitchen and I pause.

"That's what you've been saying for 3 days,
I'm traveling on Monday and I'm staying for 2weeks."he says and I decide to enter the kitchen, I could have easily leave but I'm hungry, so hungry.

"Good morning."I greet glancing at him, he is sitting on the stool with the EarPod stuck to his ear as usual.

"Morning."he grumble, that's his reply always.

"I will leave you then since your wife is here to keep you company."munirah's voice says and I glance at the phone that's on the island.

He facepalm and grab the phone from the island, I'm standing by the freezer that's behind him, the screen of the phone light up and his wallpaper is munirah and him smiling at the camera, they sure look happy together I release a heavy breath and turn to the freezer, I open it just staring at the items inside not knowing what to do I obviously not sure what I'm up to i shut it close and walk to the fridge I open it and grab the yoghurt, I keep it on the island and head for the store, I heard the kitchen door shut and I peek to the kitchen saw that he's gone.

***************
Grabbing his phone from the bed he dial the contact but it ring and no answer making him to sigh, he is not sure how he's gonna balance between making munirah happy and not do anything to make Aisha go report him to his parent,
He isn't gonna love Aisha because she is not the woman of his dream but he certainly will not hurt her, he exit the bedroom exhausted, he wonder if with time he's gonna stop having flashed back of the incident,
Is Aisha also experiencing same thing? He has thought of it, he pushed all thought about the traumatic incident and focus on starting his day.

"Ya good morning."Hudah greet and he nod without a reply.

"Ya can Aisha and I..........

"Are you her mouth?"he cut his sister and Hudah zip up her mouth with the gesture with her hand giving Aisha a certain look with a raise brow, he leave the parlor and Hudah hit Aisha.

"Go and ask him,
Tell him we are going to the mall and he should give you money."Hudah says and Aisha shake her head.

"Hudah leave me.....

"Stand up and go,
It's been 2weeks you are due to go out."Hudah persist and Aisha exhaustedly sigh before leaving the parlor.
