SAMEERAH'S P.O.V
"They found Aisha" Kabir says, breathing hard. I tensed up and my heart sped up. For the first time in my life, I was actually scared. Scared of another human being. Hammad grabs my hand in his and kissed it to comfort me.
He had told me over the phone that it was Aisha. I had felt immense pain and anger. I so badly want to claw out her insides but although I hate to admit it, I was scared. Who knows what next she has planned?
"Where is she now?" He asks.
"Police custody "
"Police?" His mother interjected . She doesn't know?
"Hajiya, Aisha poisoned Sameerah, causing her to lose the baby" Hammad murmured.
My mum froze, then she started.
'Innalillahi wa inna ilaihirrajiun '

HAMMAD'S P.O.V
After a week of Aisha in custody, I was released by the doctors and I was more than ready to send her to jail, or to hell. I wanted to go straight to the police station but Sameerah insisted that we go with mama so we'll inform my father.
He was stunned. Didn't believe it .
"You mean Aisha did all this?" He asked again. I can see that he is dissapointed and heartbroken although he is trying to hide it. Aisha was his daughter.
"Have you gone to the police to see her?" He asks.
"We're going there from here" I answered.
"Do just that. I'll call her father. Where's emm..your wife?"
"Down stairs with mama"
He just nodded. I know he feels guilty about the whole ordeal and the way he treated Sameerah but you know how parents are. They'd rather die than admit they're at fault.
We left about thirty minutes later, Sameerah was driving because my leg is broken. Almost healed though. I'd like to believe she's almost completely fine. She was driving us home?
"Baby girl wha-"
"I'm not ready Hammad" she says sounding panicked with tears threatening to spill. She parked the car.
"I'm not ready. What if she stabs me or does something as crazy-"
"You know I won't let that happen"
"But she can hurt you too. I don't want her to hurt you. I'm afraid. " my heart clenches. My fearless Sameerah is in hiding. I won't say gone because I know she'll be back.
"Nothing will happen in sha Allah. You stay home and I will go see her"
She shook her head 'no' so I let her be. I missed my house, but I missed my wife in it. And you all know I'm going to that police station.

SAMEERAH'S P.O.V
I was trying to sleep when the doorbell went off. I groaned. People of the earth let me sleep! I rushed down to get the door. A middleaged police man in blue smiled back at me.
"Good morning madam"
"Good morning "
"Are you Mrs Babangida?"
"Yes" I answered apprehensively.
"I'm inspector John Abdul and I'm here to ask you a few questions about a certain miss Aisha..."
