CHAPTER TWENTY-FOUR

**************************
The first rain of the year hit the soil on a Sunday evening, unwell munirah was just coming back from school with Kareem in her hand whom she picked on her way coming back, time flies real quick and it's been 2 months since kubrah's wedding, Hudah's wedding was postponed for some reason best know to the family,
Munirah can't say her marital life it's unhappy but there are sad days and they seems more than the happy days, Abdul has been busy these days with family business that she don't know if it's only her he doesn't have time for or even Aisha,
She hasn't seen aisha in a while probably since kubrah wedding, and even when Abdul asked her to say some condolences to aisha about her pregnancy loss she refused it was one of the major thing that got them quarreling again.

She has been so busy with school that she doesn't even have time to think about so many things now that she would soon start going to the hospital she knows she will have time for herself unless the university refused to send her to where shagari works, exhausted she dropped the little boy on th couch and sit next to him, now in his 10months Kareem is yet to start walking he would stand with support it's a hassle taking care of him now because his tantrums always increases that she has to be very careful in everything.

"Salamu'alaikum."the familiar voice says and she answer but didn't move from the position she's sitting.

Abdul walk in with the big shopping bag as she follows his movement with her eyes.

"Here this is for you."he says as munirah just stare at him, he sit on the 2a otter couch where she's sitting and Kareem quickly crawl to her and climb her body.

Releasing a heavy breath Abdul sigh with a facepalm as he thought of how munirah will take the news.

ABDULLAHI'S P.O.V

I decided to let us all relax since she seems to be coming back to, staying at Aisha place since her miscarriage has become hectic than expected with she always blaming me for what has happened,
While been with munirah it's a lot more peaceful unless she's not in the best mood and she doesn't seems to be in one at the moment.

"I'm going to sleep."she announces and stand up from the couch with the little boy clinging to her as usual.

They headed upstairs leaving me by myself,
I decide to find something to eat because All I had was breakfast which was a simple French toast, I headed for the kitchen as I remove my ringing phone from my pocket, surprised to see it's my dad I answer it pausing in front of the kitchen door, he asked to see me if I'm less busy and I assure him I would be there in a jiffy, there wasn't anything to eat so I decide to go to my parents perhaps I would see some food over there to eat, the drive was a quiet one my mind just wondering to Aisha and my whole life entirely,
I'm not happy and nothing seems to be going to the right direction.

Once at my parents I headed to where my dad spend most of his day, I was surprised to see Aisha there with my mum to, my heart kind of dropped because that means there has to be something, I left Aisha at home and I didn't leave with the best impression,
Once the pleasantries is done I sat on the carpeted floor, my dad clear his throat and I pray this has nothing to do with the conversation I had with Aisha.
