Worldly desire

Chapter Eight

What did you just say? "He asked her startled ". I know you heard me well. She replied moving more closer to him.

He became more alarmed when she hugged him. Mubeen couldn't move an inch from where he was.

This is what he had craved for so much but just couldn't believe he was getting it from a total stranger.

Immediately he came back to his senses, he pushed her away and pointed a finger at her saying, stay away from me.

Samira was not touched by his words. She smiled mischievously and walked away. Mubeen watched her walked away till she was out of sight.

He stamped his feet on the ground and turned to make his way out. Kamal was already standing there when he got outside.

Guy wetin na, I've been here for awhile now. " Kamal said to him almost in anger". Am sorry for keeping you waiting. Mubeen said and they shook hands.

They went to where Mubeen had packed his car and hoped into it. Dude why are you looking so stressed out? Kamal asked him concerned. Am fine, Mubeen said and looked away.

Guy talk to me, you know you can always share your problems with me. Kamal said to him again in concern. I said it's nothing, am fine. Mubeen said on top of his voices.

Kamal just stared at him and nodded his head. Okay where are we going to now? Kamal asked him. "To your place". Mubeen said and started the car.

They got to his place almost midnight. Everywhere was quiet just like a graveyard. Kamal opened the door and they walked in like lifeless bodies.

They both had many things running through their minds. Mubeen didn't say a word, he just lay down on the bed and within some minutes he dozed off. Kamal quickly took a shower and retired to bed.

The next morning was bright and lovely. The weather was so fabulous and calm. Intisar woke up early and bathed her children. She was still dressing Anwar when hajiya woke up and assisted her.

She had moved in with hajiya some days back. The children are now her main priority. Some people believed they are twins.

She also dressed up and set out for work as usual. Hajiya had persuaded her to get a nanny for them but she insisted she can take care of them on her own.

Although Doctor Sabrina got a nanny for them at the hospital. The children are so lovely, they tend to get gifts from many people especially the hospital staffs.

When she got to the hospital, she took the children and the security helped her with their things to the nanny.

Good morning ma! The nanny said and collected the children from her. Morning, she replied and placed a kiss on their cheeks before leaving.

She went straight to Doctor Sabrina's office but met her attending to a patient. She quickly left and went to join her colleagues.

Munaya was home early this morning, she was surprised to meet the door locked. She was lucky to have a spare key.

She was still unlocking the door when she heard a lady's voice from behind. Is this Mubeen's house? The lady asked smiling. Yes, what is it? Munaya also asked her.

She brought out a phone from her bag and handed it over to Munaya. I came to return his phone, he forgot it at my place last night.

The lady said and left leaving Munaya with questions written all over her face. Who is this lady and why was Mubeen with her last night? Kept ringing a bell in her head.

Mubeen woke up only to find out he has missed Subhi prayer. SubhanAllah he shouted and got out of the bed. He went into the bathroom and performed ablution then came out to observe his salat.

After praying, he reached for his phone in his pocket but it wasn't there. He checked everywhere but still couldn't find it. Ohh gosh! I must have misplaced it in the bar. "He thought".
