"Kabeer?" I called out walking to him, he didn't move no matter how I shook him, grabbing my stethoscope I placed it on his chest but his heartbeat was still, I checked his pulse but it was the same "NOOOO" I screamed drawing the attention of mal Dawud "Madam wetin happen?" He asked
"Help me. Please" I pleaded crying and he placed him in the car and I drove not minding my belly against the steering wheel, it's one hour drive to the hospital but I made it in twenty five minutes "NURSE? SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP" I screamed dashing in and was followed immediately by five nurses and a bed
He was rushed to the emergency ward. "What happened to him?" The doctor asked "I don't know please just do something" I replied and he left immediately. What could have possibly happened I kept asking myself, I was left to battle with my questions for five hours
I called Zuliey and Beelarh, they were already on their way. The door finally swung opened revealing the doctor, his face was mixed with emotions "Doctor please my husband?" I asked trying to keep calm "You see he suffered from heart attack, he couldn't make it, we lost him, we're very sorry" he replied sadly and I laughed
"How much did he pay you?" I asked the doctor and he looked at me confused "What are you talking about?" He asked "I know it's one of his pranks, haha you totally got me" I said laughing "Madam you need to calm down" he said "Take me to him. I want to see him" I demanded and he nodded
Kabeer looks pale and I chuckled "You took this prank too far" I said smiling looking at the wires connected to him, including the wire for the cardio metre, reading it the heartbeat reads zero and was in a straight line "Okay Kabeer I forgive you, let's go home" I said and he didn't move "I said I've forgiven you" I said smiling but he was still
I grabbed his hand and it was cold, very unusual. Is this guy for real tho, did he think that if he killed himself I'd forgive him, how dare him die? "You look really handsome, I like this pale colour thing they did to you, is it like a paint?" I asked rubbing his face and I got no response
Beelarh and Zuliey got in and I waved at them, they both seemed to be crying and I don't know why "Why are you girls crying?" I asked and they continued crying, turning to face Kabeer "Can you believe these two idiots thinks you're dead too?" I asked him and he didn't respond, they looked at me like I'm crazy
"Madam please excuse us, we'd like to take the body to the mortuary" a random nurse told me "Who are you taking to the mortuary?" I asked "Mr Kabeer Lamido" she replied "You're mad. Who do you want to take to mortuary? You're mannerless" I said and they all stiffened, Beelarh whispered something in their ears and they left
"Salima I hope you know to Allah we belong" she said "And to Him we shall return" I completed her sentence "Bestie Kabeer is dead" she said sadly tears rolling down her eyes and I looked at her disappointed "Kabeer is not dead. Can't you see he is sleeping" I said adjusting his head "Salima are you insane?" Zuliey asked "I know what I'm saying" I replied and a doctor walked in
"Maybe we should take her to the psychiatric ward" he prescribed "No doctor, my sister is not mad" Zuliey said, she seemed to have a word with Beelarh and they walked up to me "Okay you're right, he is sleeping" Zuliey said with a smile and I smiled back "You see. I told you" I said to Beelarh "Do you want him to sleep very well?" She asked and I nodded "Then let's go home" she said "I want to stay here with him" I pouted folding my hands "Don't you want him to rest well?" She asked and I nodded "Then let's go" she said and I frowned, getting up I pecked him
"I'd be back soon, okay?" I told him and left. My condolences I kept hearing but I shook it off, Allah ya jikanshi everybody kept saying and I ignored them. "Let me take a nap" I told Beelarh in the mist of pool of people in my house, I laid and drifted immediately my head reached the pillow, I woke up to the sound of murmurings, I went downstairs and saw everyone mouthing something and I asked what's going on
"We're saying our last prayers of your husband's, his corpse is outside" a woman whispered, this nonsense has to stop, why do people joke with death? I thought. I walked outside and saw some people sitting outside, mostly men, I looked at my brother in-laws and they gave me a pity look, I saw a corpse in the middle of the compound and I walked towards it, kneeling beside it and I saw Kabeer wrapped in white and laid on a mat, reality began to creep into me
"So it's true?" I asked his lifeless body not knowing when tears started dripping "You're leaving me in this cruel world? What happened to our promises? Our forever? You want your child to grow as an orphan? How do you expect me to survive?" I asked chuckling with tears in my eyes "If you think what you did was for the best, keep a spot for me in Jannah because I'd be joining you soon" I said with a smile rubbing his exposed face
"I wish I had forgiven you sooner than I prolonged.... I love you Kabeer, they'd be no other after you" I whispered as they took his body away, I sat there on the spot and continued crying "Just yesterday we slept on the same bed but today he'd be sleeping in his grave" I thought, this is all my fault, you shouldn't be the one sleeping in the grave today but me, I felt arms wrapped around me and I was hoping it was him but of course the arms were small and tender
"Let's go inside" Beelarh said and I nodded. This is it, my world would never be here to hold me when everything seems to be falling apart. Who'd tell me I'm beautiful now? Who'd panic when I fall sick? Who'd take care of me now? God! Who'd ever love me like that man? I couldn't hold it any longer so I ran outside and I was chased and caught
"Where are you going? Are you crazy? Don't you know your condition?" Nifah asked "Tell them to bring him back" I replied crying "The dead can never return my child" my mother in-law said with tears in her eyes "But how can he be dead?" I asked and got no response, I started weeping
Someone was shaking me vigorously "Stop it" I said crying, the person didn't stop "I said sto..." I was saying with tears when someone whispered "Wake up" "Huh?" I asked opening my eyes and I saw Kabeer worries written all over his face "Kabeer?" I called more like asked "Yes?" I replied "OH MY GOD! KABEER!" I yelled hugging him tightly and started crying "Okay? What is this about?" He asked patting my back "I..I thought I'd never see you again" I said choking on my tears and he wiped it
"Are you okay? I heard you crying in your sleep" he said and I hugged him again "Why didn't you wake me early? Thank God it was a dream" I sighed "What dream?" He asked "Never mind" I replied and he kissed my forehead after tucking me in the duvet, he was leaving "Where are you going?" I asked "Well actually you told me not to sleep with you" he replied awkwardly
"When did I say that?" I asked "You kicked me out of the room, don't you remember?" He asked "I don't think so" I replied and he shrugged jumping on the bed making me bounce along with him "Boy stop don't you know I'm big" I said pointing at my belly "No you're not, you're a cute marshmallow" he said tugging my cheek "No I'm not" I said with a straight face "Yes you are. Come here let me bite some of those soft cheeks" he offered and I pushed him
"You play a lot" I said laying on my side facing him and I smiled "Stop being a little freak would you?" He rolled his eyes "Don't leave me" I said and he laughed "Ain't nobody leaving you" he said "I'm serious" I said with a straight face and he became serious "Was it about your dream?" He asked and I nodded
"Must have been terrible" he said and I nodded "I don't want to ever have such experience, let's stop fighting" I said "You're the one fighting not me" he shrugged "Yeah right" I rolled my eyes "I'm just kidding" he said snaking his arm around me "But you know you can be stubborn some times" he said "I know" I said tugging his pointed nose "I hope our son has your nose" I said still tugging it "It's a girl" he said rolling his eyes
"Good night senorita" he said kissing my cheek and biting it a bit "Ouch!" I rubbed my cheek "Sorry, they're just so soft like marshmallows" he said smiling and I smiled back closing my eyes "Good night my trouble trouble" I said and I heard a chuckle and in my head I kept thanking Allah it was a dream
A/N: What you thought? That he died?😂😂 Okay I'm not that evil, I wanted to kill him so badly but I know some people would kill me. Mama love y'all, have a blessed weekend, Chaw!❤❤💋💋
