Broken Vows COMPLETED √

Chapter 28

*Jamal's POV
I collected my test result and asked the nurse to send Zahra to room 102 when she arrives and I left. I opened the enveloped result and Alhamdulillah I was clean, I wasn't infected. I pray Zahra's is the same.

'You did your diploma in zaria right?' I asked as I saw Zahra making her way into the room.

She was quiet...

'You muderer' that was the next statement that left my lips. She stared at me with uncertainty as her eyes welled up with tears. Naturally anyone in her position would have done the same thing, but what she doesn't know is I wasn't referring to her...I shifted my gaze back to the other woman in the room, Bahijja.

Bahijja was the woman in the photograph, she had a hand in my brothers death. She was the same person who dated musa or whatever his real name is and my brother at the same time, and she had an affair with him while married to me...what nerve!

'Zahra come in' I said as I looked back at her and smiled. She still looked confused a bit and walked into the room while being mindful of her environment. 'You must have been startled right? Sorry I was speaking with Bahijja but my mind was on you' I explained when she moved further.

'Bahijja I hate to break this to you, but I want a divorce. I've had it with you, you're overbearing and rude and you're an adulteress and I can't condone that sort of behaviour so I'm divorcing you. I'll have your letter ready and when you're discharged go straight to your parents house.'

'You can't do that to me, I promise I'll change. Please don't divorce me, where do I start from. Please forgive me. I'll make amends, I'll do whatever you ask please.' She cried

'You'll do whatever I want? Okay, tell me who killed Junaid' I said with a straight face.

'Junaid? Who is Junaid?'

'Oh stop with your lies' I said putting my hand on my temple ' You said you'd do what ever I want, but it's obvious that you won't comply so I'm taking my leave' I said as I dragged Zahra and left the room.

'What did your test result say?' I asked Zahra as I made the turn onto gana drive.

'It was okay' she said, her voice hoarse.

'Okay? Okay like clean or Okay something else?'

'Okay -' her phone started to ring and she picked it up quickly, she must have been eager to stop talking to me.

'Jamal's please turn around, my result was switched at the lab' I quickly did as she said...

Alhamdulillah she said as she bursted into tears and hugged the nurse. She was over the moon but why?

'My other result read positive but it seems that it was exchanged with another Zahra Isah' she said smiling from ear to ear 'but why did you use Isah as my last name?'

'Uh- i- umm-err you see' I didn't know which lie to give that would be believable so I opted for the truth. 'You'll soon be my wife so there's no harm right' I flashed her a smile and winked.

I think this woman is bipolar, every normal woman would have blushed after seeing my million dollar smile but she hissed and walked away. Hmm now what did I do again, I thought as I ran after her..

'What's wrong, why did you just-' before I could complete my statement she got into a cab and left. Women and their issues, I'll let her cool off for a while.

*Zahra's POV
Jamal is so annoying. He has been banging on my door for the past ten minutes, that has been his routine for the last five days. I can't stand his sight he's just so unbearable.

He must have left since he hasn't knocked. I wore my floral kimono and took a medium sized veil and put on flat slippers, I need some fresh air.

I opened the door and Jamal almost fell on me. I didn't bother looking at him so I just walked past him, but he dragged me back and I came face to face with him.

'Why are you here?' I asked

'Because I missed you...I'm sorry, for being too late'

'My goodness. . It just makes me wonder the kind of man you are. You didn't even budge when I begged you in my worst possible state and now that I feel better you're here again. You couldn't accept the fact that I got pregnant for another man, but what was I supposed to do? Reject him while angels curse me.'

'I'm sorry...I made a mistake, I was wrong. I won't ever act like a loser in front of you, I won't ever go back and forth no matter what happens I won't let you go.'

'I won't go back and forth either, I've decided to let you go, I've already let you go.'

'I know you're mad at-' I cut him short

'Do I seem like I'm playing hard to get? When I like someone I don't play these games. Or maybe you think I'm so easy that I'll fall for you whenever you chase me.' I said with teary eyes but I won't break down in front of him.

'It's not that, you know that I unwillingly pushed you away even though I like you too'

'No need for you to do such a thing anymore. I won't ever go back to you. If we ever see each other on the street by coincidence let's not greet each other, let's just go our own ways. Instead of acting all cool and happy, I'm not good at those things, I'm moving out today...I'm grateful, for letting me end things by dumping you' I said as I ran back into the room and banged the door.

I threw myself onto the bed and cried my eyes out because I lied.

...I love him a lot more than I thought and I only realised it after I sent him away.
