Breaking free

Episode 53

" Hawau!" Hamma Sultan yelled as we walked into the house. The house changed a lot from the last time I was here or maybe it's just that I haven't been here in a while.

" Naam habibi." I heard her voice as she walked into the living room.

" Hameedah Che? Sannu ku da zuwa." She said and smiled at me, which looked fake but anyways.

" Ina yini." I greeted her and she responded.

" I'll leave you ladies to catch up, I have some things to do but I'll be back before lunch." He said.

" Toh shikenan." She responded.

" Um Hamma Sultan? I have some places to go today." I said.

" Oh toh when I'm back I can take you." He said and walked out of the house.

Hawau kissed her teeth and was staring at me. I just stood there looking at her because I didn't know what to do.

" Shegiya kawai. You came to seduce my husband just because yours beat you up and divorced you, well you can't, not in my house!" She said aggressively.

" Could you show me my room?" I ignored her comment even though it affected me.

" Mtchew." She walked off and I followed her with my suitcase trailing behind me.

We went upstairs and she pointed to a door before walking off. I opened the door and walked into the room. It was a decent looking room with huge windows. I dropped my suitcase on the couch and proceeded to open it to find something comfortable to wear.

I brought out a butterfly silk abaya and some gold jewelry to go with the look. I checked the bathroom and took a shower. I came out and oiled my body before putting on the abaya. The strings inside the abaya is loose so I tightened it very well on my waist.

I picked my phone to call Salma.

" Hello sally." I said.

" Ina wuni Adda, have you reached?" She said.

" Yes I have, how are you and the kids?"

" We are all fine Alhamdullilah, they just went out with their dad to go swimming." She said in a low tone. She still isn't speaking with Ahmad and I fear it might only get worse if I don't speak with her.

" Oh that's good. How are you?"

" I'm okay, I'm starting exams next week so please pray for me."

" I will." We talked some more and I ended the call when Hawau came in.

" Sultan is looking for you." She eyed my outfit from my toes to my head.

" Ok I'm coming." I said and turned around so I could tidy up the room.

I put my things in a corner and padlocked my luggage because I know that woman and she is pure evil.

I made my way down the stairs and secured my veil properly. He was seated on the dining so I sat down and greeted him.

" What's the anguwa that you are going to?"

"I don't know the name but it's close to ShopRite."

" Ok toh that's close to Umma's house so we will go when you are done." He said as Hawau served him.

" Habibi ya isa?" She said in such a whiny voice. Ew.

" Eh." He said scrolling through his phone.

I served myself some rice and stew and ate a bit before taking my plate to the kitchen.
I washed my plate and sat at the Living room waiting for him to finish.
