TWENTY-ONE: GHOST

Married to a popular wealthy family had it's perks but for Adilah it was now a nightmare, family that wasn't so wealthy anymore because her grandfather stole from them, crippled their poultry and grounded B.D to the ground, Adilah only learnt of this when she went back to Kano. The blogs kept posting rumors that Abdulmaleek and his family were ousted from their company but Adilah only thought they were rumors meant to get attention, she had once playfully mentioned it to Abdulmaleek and he just went along with it.

"OMG these blogs are hilarious wallahi, did you see the latest on northernelites? Wai cewa sukayi wai an koreka a aiki" she laughed to it,

He just looked at her and lousily discarded it "well can you blame them? It's their job to make rumors worthy of reading"

Only to go back home and find the her family stole from her husband's, she was torn apart, and not only that she assumed it was why her husband sent her home. Now the blogs started another rumor, except this time they had a video to back up their story, a video of Abdulmaleek step down from a G-wagen and firmly embracing his old love, people clapping as his face lit up in a bubbling smile and tears from the side of his eyes, and the "awwwwnnn" chants. Her face wasn't shown in the video but her name was stated there, and then a few wedding pictures of her and Ajeay, Northern Elites claimed that the wedding started with Ajeay but Abdulmaleek ended up marrying Tahira. And then there was some story about how she was the one he wanted to marry from the beginning but was forced by his father to marry Adilah. Apparently the blogs didn't know Abdulmaleek at all if they believe he was forced to do anything, but now it made her wonder if indeed he was forced to marry her.

Anger boiled in her system, like a volcano ready to erupt at any moment, she paced the room searching for balance for something to hold down how her heart was boiling, she knew  it was too much for her. The rage within her she knew would force her to do absolutely anything, now everyone knew her husband loved or rather loves another and that she wasn't happy, she was a laughing stock, the comments on the blogs were not in her favor at all.

What was more infuriating was the fact that now her husband had another wife, another body to legally touch, another woman to call his, someone she could clearly not contend with when it came to the matters of his heart.

She dropped on the couch, eye full of tears that waited for no permission to fall down, maybe Abdulmaleek will decide to divorce her, she won't blame him after everything she heard. How does she even confront him, what would she have to say? She heard Lala's voice greeting and asking where she was, she did not attempt to hide the state at which she was when Lala opened the door to the room and walked in.

She rushed to her side, Adilah collapsed on her she and started crying in a very loud tone. "It's okk, I got you" Lala hugged her tighter "you'll be fine"

I decide to spend the night, I called Mukki to ask for permission, he wasn't too happy but he allowed it. I struggled to get her to calm down and stop crying, the first thing I did was to take away her phone, my reasons being that she could not continue to see all these social media nonsense and how strangers just commented on something they knew nothing about. 2- I could not risk her calling Abdulmaleek at the state she was in, she needed to calm down and not call him at all, if anything granddaddy should have called to find out why she was sent home in the first place but considering everything he didn't have the audacity to do that, in fact granddaddy seemed pleased with the situation.

The maid was sent in to call Adi, granddaddy wanted to see her, no doubt the news of Abdulmaleek remarrying had reached him. I waited as she went on to see him, and frankly I waited because I wanted to call Abdulmaleek himslef. Adi said he didn't divorce her but seeing that he remarried poses the question on whether he did and Adi is hiding it.
