Worldly desire

Chapter Thirty Four

You know I also said your mummy had an accident right? He asked again and she nodded.

Okay your mummy's face got spoilt so God changed it and gave her a very beautiful face. He said to her.

She opened her eyes wide and asked in surprise, so God can change my face too? He nodded and smiled.

Isn't she beautiful? He asked her.

She smiled back and shouted, my mummy is the most beautiful.

Now go and apologize to her and make sure you never disrespect her again.

He said and she ran out.

She ran into Munaya's room and met her arranging her things in her bag.

Mummy where are you going to? She asked her...

Munaya did not reply, she just continued with what she was doing...

Afrah knelt down and started crying saying, Mummy please am sorry. I promise to change.

Munaya was touched with this sight.

She quickly stood her up and hugged her.

They both were crying, none could console the other.

Ahmad was at the door staring at them.

He wiped off drops of tears from his eyes and smiled.

Afrah am sorry I lied to you, when you grow up, you will understand more better. He thought.

When they finished crying, Afrah held Munaya's hands and said to her, mummy promise you won't leave me again.

Munaya rubber her hair and said, I promise to be with you always.

Let me go and tell daddy to take us to see baby today again.

She said and turned to leave only to see Ahmad by the door. She ran there and hugged him.

Ahmad glanced at Munaya and they both smiled.

Lubna's wedding date was fixed after her service.

Aisha's baby was named Mustapha but Afrah gave him sudais as his pet name.

Mubeen also apologized to Hajiya and his family at large although he did not disclose the reason behind the divorce.

He has decided to move on and let everything be bygone. He did not bother enquiring about the one who sent the anonymous message.

He believes it was destined to happen that way.

They were never meant for each other.

His full attention, love and support has been drafted to his family.

Intisar and Munaya still continue being best of friends.

This morning, Munaya did not wake up early as she is already used to.

Ahmad was surprised but he did not wake her up rather he did all the house chores and even dressed Afrah up for school.

When they were ready to go, Afrah insisted she must see her mummy before she goes to school so he went with her to wake Munaya...

He felt her body temperature was high when he tapped her.

She opened her eyes but did not say a word.

Are you alright, what is wrong with you? He asked concerned.

She was about to say something but stood up immediately and ran into the bathroom to throw up.

She rinsed her mouth and washed her face before coming out.

Mummy what is wrong with you? Afrah asked her almost in tears.

Don't worry my dear, am fine. She managed to say.

Ahmad was still not convinced.

Let's go to the hospital please. He said and she declined.

Mummy please go to the hospital with daddy. Afrah said and she nodded.

She wore her hijab and they left.

They dropped Afrah at school before heading to the hospital.

After the tests and check up, the doctor confirmed her 5weeks pregnant.

Munaya was surprised.

How can I be pregnant when I already removed my womb. She asked herself.

The doctor noticed the look on her face and he can see there are questions written all over her face.

He told Ahmad to excuse them.

When Ahmad left, he cleared his throat and said, don't be surprised dear.

I did not remove your womb that day.

Do you know why? He asked her and she just nodded negatively.

Because from the look of things, I know it was against your wish. He replied and smiled.

Then what did you do to me? She asked.

Everything I did were all fake. He replied.

Munaya was in a state of confusion. Am I hallucinating. 'She thought'.

Thank you so much doctor, I will forever be grateful. She said smiling exposing almost half of her teeth.
