Worldly desire

Chapter Nineteen

Mubeen please forgive me, Samira said and knelt down.

Hajiya quickly stood up and went to her.

She stood her up and made her sat down.

Not in this your condition, my son will always give you a listening ear. She said and smiled at her.

Samira smiled back and turned to face Mubeen.

Am sorry for all I caused you, she said calmly.

Mubeen pretended not to have heard her, he turned his face away and continued playing with Zahra.

What is going on here, who is she and why is she apologising?

Hajiya asked them but they all stare at each other instead of replying.

Intisar was also confused, she has no idea what this is all about.

"She is my wife" Kamal broke the silence.

Your wife!!! They all chorused shocked.

Yes, Lubna said and they still turned her directions.

So you knew about this too? Mubeen asked in surprise. She just nodded.

Kamal was the one that explained everything to them, he left no stone unturned.

Mubeen was astonished. How comes he never told me this. 'he thought to himself'.

What were you thinking that made you hide this from someone you call a brother, does that mean you never trusted me all this while? He asked him.

I couldn't open up to you, I thought you would tell me to go back and get my wife since you were always disturbing me to get married and I was not ready to settle down then...

Kamal shrugged but was interrupted by Mubeen that said, ofcourse i would have done that, you know I don't buy the idea of this life you chose to live.

Kamal you are my son just like Mubeen is and I have always treated you as one but am disappointed you did this. Hajiya said and he murmured 'am sorry'.

Am happy things turn out this way, surely Allah is the best planner.

The most important thing here is for you both to go back to the village and seek for your parent's forgiveness and blessings because it will really go a long way in this union. She added and smiled.

In Sha Allah, we will do as you say. Samira said.

Mubeen please am sorry I kept this away from you. Kamal said staring at Mubeen.

It's alright, let bygone be bygone. Am happy for you bro. Mubeen said to him.

Zahra interrupted them with her loud cry. Intisar stood up immediately and stretched out her hands to collect her from him.

He looked at her first for some minutes before handing her over to him. She collected her and left the room.

Hajiya noticed the look and thought he was signifying something different.

I need to sort this out. 'She said to herself'.

Mubeen did not bother going further to demand more explanations from Samira, he just want to let the sleeping dog lie...

He can see his friend is happy about this new blessing in his life, he can't just ruin everything because of his own interest.

Alhaji Zahraddeen came in with a lady and met his wife and daughter chatting in the sitting room.

They both welcomed him happily thinking he has brought the maid they discussed about.

Munaya collected his suitcase and went upstairs.

The lady kept looking round the house, anyone who look at her from head to toe will be convinced she is coming from the village or better still she is not wised up.

Can't you greet? Mami shouted at her.

She ran to hide behind Alhaji but he pulled her out and said to her, she is not going to harm you.

She bent down and greeted Mami but the response she got was a deadly look.

I know how to deal with your type. Mami said and hissed at her.

Being easy on you won't do you any good, she murmured again.

Safiya mind your words, she is not a maid or your slave. Alhaji retorted.

Then who is she? Mami asked in anger.
