I stretch, opening my eyes. I was only wearing my undies. How? Yeah, I remember how I felt like I was drunk yesterday.

I sit up, scratching my forehead. And I remember how I made mohammed pissed.

He left the room, I guess. I go to the bathroom as I see him by the mirror.

"Good morning". I walk beside him, taking my tooth brush. "Good morning." He replies without looking at me.

I looked at myself while I brushed. I finished thinking of how to confront Mohammad.

I lean on the sink. "Are you still angry at me?" He cleans his face with a towel. "Shouldn't I be?" He turns to look at me.

"I apologized and I mean it. Why are you dwelling on it?" I ask looking at him as he raises his brows.

"You came back at midnight after meeting up with your ex and I'm dwelling on it?" He scoffs.

"Okay, what can i do to make it up to you?" I ask,  desperately trying to be on his good side since I'm the one at fault.

"Stop hanging out with Faisal." I look away, thinking about it. "Is he that important to you?"

"He's the only close friend that I have." I whine,sitting on the sink so my eyes would be almost on the same level with his. "Okay, if that would make you happy."

Mohammad falls silent for sometime when I feel his hands on my waist. I open my eyes to look at him.

"You can be friends but I don't want you to be close. You might not have any feelings for him but he has for you. No meet ups like that anymore, just keep him at bay. I'm also unsure whether he spiked your drink or not."

I purse my lips. "It was an alcoholic Chapman. I ordered it not knowing."

"Okay."

My lips curl up to a smile and I wrap my arms around his neck. "Thank you so much." I kiss him all over his face.

I park at the supermarket with mama beside me. She said that we never spend quality time together plus the 'baby' is on the way.

I wore my long dress that I usually stay at home with. I added a big veil to cover my arms and head.

"You should pick whatever you want especially when your appetite comes." She smiles at me while we walked.

"Okay." I nod, looking at the shelves. I continue picking but mama kept on packing a lot of food items, junk food for me.

She would pick even the things she doesn't know in case. I unknowingly stopped walking and kept on looking at her. I feel guilty fooling her, she doesn't deserve this.

She really thinks that I am really pregnant. "What's wrong?" She places the items in the cart.

"Its nothing, I'm just happy." I smile as she pats my arm. "Me too." She looks at me when my eyes met with the person I screwed over, zeenatu.

"Aisha?" She asks walking closer to me. I act like she wasn't talking to me. "Aisha?" She takes in front of me and I furrow my brows, looking back to check.

"Sorry, who?" I ask. "You're aisha, tye woman my brother married." I shake my head, confused. "You're mistaken, I'm anisah."

"No, you are Aisha." She repeats confidently with her voice getting louder. "I'm not Aisha, please step aside so I can continue shopping." I defend myself.

"How dare you lie to my face? Do you think I'm stupid?! You broke my brother's heart when you got divorced!"

She shouts but I acted confused and angry. "I'm not whoever you say I am. I'm already married to someone else! Get your acts straight or I shall report you for harassment. I'm not what you call me to be, I'm married and shopping with my mother. Go find whoever that person is and stay away from me." I attempt to continue walking when she steps in front of the cart, holding it.
