CONTRITE HEARTS

CHAPTER SEVENTEEN
2 MONTHS LATER

AISHA'S P.OV

"Aisha please try and be taking care of this boy,
Make sure he eats and his medications to."my aunt says, I was so relief after my step mum said she will stay two months with me at first she doesn't want to I literally have throw little tantrums to my dad before he comply with me, but they said time is nothing and here we are she's leaving already.

"Hope you listen to what I tell you?
Marriage is all about patience listen to your husband Aisha, there's no better man out there for you other than Abdullahi,
Take care of your son."she says and I nod as we both stand in front of the porch waiting for the car.

Abdul told him he booked her an afternoon flight and it's already an hour before her flight I prayed she doesn't missed it, I watch as she climb the car she waved me goodbye and I nod with a smile staring at her I wait until the car drive out of the house before I head back inside

I wasn't surprised at all to hear the baby crying, this child cry more than any baby I've seen in my entire life naturally I hate babies that throw tantrums and this one seems to be good at doing so, the more he grows the different he looks I have read little about the condition said to be doing him and I can't see myself taking care of this kind of child it's going to be a handful.

I make the formula and support his head on the pillow before stuffing it in his mouth but he didn't stop his wailing just intensified and I huffed staring at him, some days I thought of grabbing a pillow and probably end it all with him but then I am scared I sigh and leave the bedroom.

Abdul is rarely around these days I don't know if perhaps it has to do with my step mum presence or it's just him avoiding me, I head to the kitchen to get something to eat, the baby's cry still echoing around the house, I enter the kitchen and shut the door to lessen the sound of his cries as I thought of the possibility of me getting pregnant again, I will really be glad to have another child which will be Abdullahi's, I grab the plate and dish the coconut rice my step mum prepared for me before leaving.

"I barely sit down when the kitchen door open, it's Abdul with the baby in his hand.

"Aisha,
Didn't you hear this boy crying?"he ask and I didn't look up at him I grab the stool before sitting down with the plate of food in my front.

"You and I are going to have serious problem if this is how you are going to treat this innocent child that has nothing to do with whatever you trying to blame it on him, this isn't a psychological issue it's you been selfish at the moment."he ranted before leaving making me to huffed.

I pushed the plate of food that I find unappetizing anymore and rest my head on the island, I am so exhausted and tired of everything at the moment.

The house was quiet so I exit the kitchen, I head to the bedroom and abdul isn't there nor the baby, I check his bedroom he's not there I hissed and decide to take a nap I don't want think of the possibility of me taking care of that child by myself especially with the nerve wrecking medical conditions.

************
I wake up to the knock on the door, I come down from the bed and leave the bedroom exhausted,
I open the door and it's Hudah.
