"Simone!!!
Alhaji screamed out her name as if there was no tomorrow.
"Am coming.".........
"Ina zuwa da mijina"(I am coming my husband.)
Who is your Husband?
Alhaji asked her.
Simone stood in shock looking into her husband's eyes.
"Is anything wrong"? She asked him.
Alhaji gives her a dirty slap on the face.

"How dare you? I brought you out from ashes, I made you somebody, most importantly I loved you, how could you?

Simone stared at him helplessly in tears. Maybe he found out about the abortion pill she had bought, she bowed her head in shame.

Alhaji was about to give her another slap, because she wasn't responding and it was annoying him.
With his hands almost reaching her face, Amira interrupted him.
"Alhaji do you want to kill her? She said to him as she look at him eyeball to eyeball.

Why don't you explain to us? what she did.
Amira, Sulaimon, Susan and Nashiru all stared at Alhaji.
Susan on the other hand was grinning, that means he saw the picture she soliloquied.
*********"

**Flashback**
"Dr Ahmed, good morning I wanted to find out if you could prescribed some flushing pills for me".

I don't understand, Mrs Simone are you trying to abort the child or what?

Simone leaned closer to his desk.

" I don't how to explain to Alhaji that the child is not his, I was.....

"Should I tell him or not? I can't tell him that it was a rape.(Thought)

Mrs Simone! Dr Ahmed called out:
"What were you thinking about?

"I am sorry just tired lately, Simone replied.

Follow me to the theatre room let me do run some tests on you.

After an hour.

Dr Ahmed clears his throat, "have your seat ma'am" he said to Simone.

Simone sits down

"We discovered that the right wall of your Uterus shrank, so your baby is not in a comfortable position.
This might be a result of forceful abortion in the past, via high functioning tablets."

Simone immediately became pale, it can't be :
The night of the day she and Susan went to the clinic. Susan offered Coke and a plate of fried Chicken.
Which immediately knocked her down into deep sleep.
Susan had inserted a cloth hanger, into her private area deep down to her womb and puncture it.

Simone remembered vividly that the next day she woke up, she was soaked in blood.......
*******************

Oh no! Simone looked at Dr Ahmed and Whimpered.
"Even at that doctor can't we do something?

"I am afraid I can't.
Dr Ahmed said to her.

Simone silently took her bag and walked out of his office.......

Hours later:
Simone walked into the house, with tears in her eyes...
Amira immediately approached and asked her;
"Me yasa kuke Zubewa" (Why are you pale).

It was when Simone was to answer that's when Alhaji called out her name ..........

Presently;
"Alhaji!! "Don Allah". She held him by the hem of his garment, and cried out like a child.
Amira joined her in the plea also with Sulaimon.
Nashiru and Susan were both standing beside them faking the plea.

Susan's POV ( Thought).
Good for you, idiot, stupid and foolish girl.
You thought the world was made for you.
Now just watch as I will destroy your life. Ungrateful being.

Susan was filled with joy as Alhaji ordered Nashiru and Sulaimon to pack out Simone's loads.
From the Petite to the Grande be all her possessions were thrown outside the house.

Alhaji personally took the keys to her cars, and her credit cards.
"Make sure none of you assist her with any sort of help.

Simone was violently carried out if the house, she tried resisting but her strength was no match for them.
Simone and Nashiru were now in close contact, " I know this is all your handiwork bastard she smacked him on the face.

"Simone I can't say anything for now, but i am sincerely sorry for everything.
He hurriedly pushed her outside the gate.

Simone was stranded, with tears flowing down her cheeks .
She gather up the remaining strength on her and began to pull her loads across the street.
"Where will she start from? Where she go to..
So many thoughts ran through her head, she tried to.make a
After walking up to a mile, in the middle of the night, unable to find a taxi
Simone took a break to lay on the bare ground to rest.
She brought out her duvet, and a small piece of cloth to assist her head as pillow.

Suddenly she heard Tantrums of noises, which was caused by the street hoodlums.
Simone began to panic heavily, she immediately.

She immediately took her bags to flee,
Stop there, if you move I will shoot you. A voice said behind her.
Please don't hurt me, Simone turned back and plead for her life.

"Don't beg me anymore, The stranger said to her.

"How do we do this, the man said to his counterparts.
"Make we chop am".
No! Only the boss take this one.
He said as he shoosh them away.
They all back out stepping some inch backwards.

The man jack Simone up into the air, dangling her body like a piece of trash.
He pushed her on the floor, and unfastened his trouser belts, leaving him with only his underwears.
He layed down on her and held her arms tightly with the weight of his biceps.
Even though she had told him she was pregnant,
He raped her for hours until she passed out.

Took the only credit card she had, and stole her phone they left Simone half baked laying on the street like a corpse.

************************************

Alhaji and Susan were passionately kissing,
As they laid on the bed.

"It's okay Alhaji Susan withdraw from the process.
"What is okay let's continue
He held her by the waist and pulled her to himself.
He continued kissing and pulled the duvet over, it was getting intense, when Susan withdrew again.

"What's the matter?
Susan sheepishly bowed her face down
"Speak to me" Alhaji said to her.

"Alhaji I want to confess the name of the man, I told you Simone cheated on you with.

Alhaji said "Speak up" as he focused all his attention on her.

" It's Nashiru" Susan exclaimed in a soft voice.

**What!!*** ...........
Alhaji exclaimed.
