Worldly desire

Chapter Two

He went back and sat down staring at his daughter. How can Munaya change so suddenly, why does she behave this way towards her own child. "He thought to himself".

Ehenn Mubeen i was thinking, why don't we take Zahra to an orphanage. She said and he turned to look at her shocked.

Munaya are you in your right senses, do you even know what you are talking about? He asked her in surprise.

Ofcourse i know what am saying. If you want us to be back to normal again then take this baby out of the picture. "She shrugged".

He just nod his head and said, May Allah forgive you. Then stood up and went inside the room with Zahra. Your baby should not disturb my sleep today again fa. She shouted from behind.

Her phone rang and she quickly picked it up knowing who the caller was.

Hi mami! She said smiling as though the receiver was there with her. How are you my love? Hajiya Safiya asked her daughter. Am fine mami. Are you sure? Her mummy asked again.

Actually Mubeen is insisting i breastfeed Zahra. She said looking at the way leading to the bedroom.

Don't mind him dear, he thankGod the doctor said it was risky, if not you would have gotten rid of that pregnancy. He should take care of her himself since he wants a child badly that he couldn't wait for you to enjoy your marriage life.

Just focus on your job for now and don't let that promotion opportunity pass you by. Her mummy brain washed her.

I will mami, thank you so much. "she said smiling". Goodnight dear, your father is back. Let me attend to him. Okay good night mami. She ended the call, switched off the Tv and went to the bedroom.

Who were you speaking with? Alhaji Zahraddeen asked his wife. It was Munaya, i just wanted to make sure she is alright. She replied.

You are welcome dear, i really missed you so much. She said and hugged him.

This one that you are looking 20 everyday, what's the secret? He teased his wife while she help to undress him. Thanks to you, am looking younger than my age. She replied smiling at him. She arranged for his bath and helped him take a bath, then served his favorite dish.

Munaya please wake up. Mubeen said while tapping her. Ohh what is it this time? She asked sleepy.

I don't know what's wrong with Zahra, her temperature is high. He said confused. Ohh my God! Mubeen so you woke me up because of this? She asked.

Am sorry for that, just tell me what to do atleast. He said staring at her. Please let me be, just take her to the hospital. She said and changed position.

He just picked up his phone and called his mummy. Hajiya, Zahra is sick. Her temperature is high. He said calmly. Where is her mother? She asked him.

He kept quite as if he was thinking about what to say before he finally said, she is sleeping. Wake her up. She said.

No hajiya just let her be, i can handle it. 'He said immediately'. If you can handle it then why did you call me? She asked almost in anger. Am sorry hajiya, just tell me what to do. He said.

Okay, dip towel in a warm water and massage her body. She will feel relieved and please make sure you take her to the hospital as early as possible in the morning. She said and ended the call.

She understood everything going on in her son's marital life. She regret ever allowing him marry Munaya. What could be the cause of their problem? She asked herself.

The next morning, he set out early for the hospital. He went Straight to the doctor's office who happened to be his family doctor.

Baban baby it's been awhile. Doctor Sabrina said smiling at him. How is my baby? She asked him stretching out her hands to collect the baby from him.

She is the reason why am here. He replied while sitting on the seat provided.
