UNDER 168 HOURS [BOOK 1, 168 HOURS SERIES]

Chapter 10: Predestined

Have you ever felt like beating someone to his own game? Have you ever felt wining in double ways, and getting something you've always wanted. Well, this was the kind of excitement playing in Alhaji Musa's mind right now. He had never felt so satisfied in his entire life.
Driving back home, he branched to an executive shopping complex and bought a lot of stuffs for his lovely wife and family.

No one would ever suspect him. He's been married for twenty years and no one ever suspected, and no one would ever suspect him. His very devoted wife, Engineer Almirah Adamu have three children for him out of which the fifth born alone schools in Nigeria. The rest are either working or schooling in Canada.
Eighteen yesterday old Humaira is just age mates with his third child, but who cares?
"He's a man after all and he's able to marry more wives if he wished." Of course, this was his mentality.

(Flash Back)

Alhaji musa having a business meeting the first time they met in Nicon Luxury. It was the main reason he'd booked the hotel before hand. After Humaira left in the state of shock after her mother's death. He came back to the room to take some files he had forgotten and took the money along with him... He ever wanted her to have it anyways.

And the second time she came back to him, it was still the same money he brought to her, going into his car to take the hanky and glue into his pocket and the suitcase at hand. Also, he entered the toilet to fill the hanky with glue and Talaaa! What a clever plan!! He seized her breath with glue and went for a ride to paradise again. Leaving with the money and no single trace of evidence to ever prove him guilty.

"Once beaten, twice shy" they say but this rule isn't appliances to Humaira because she's stupid!
"How smart God created me!" He laughed so hard…
"Now, those two tiny witches wouldn't even dream of tormenting me, ever again. They'll have to think twice before coming to me… THE END!"

Later That Evening,

Humaira went to the hospital to meet Doctor Azeezah. She was in her office studying a patient's file when Humaira knocked.

"Yes, Come in!" Doctor Azeezah replied.

"Assalam Alaikum ma."

"Wa'alaikum Sallam. Ah! It's you, Humaira." She closes the file before her. "How have you been?"

"Fine ma" she replied with a smile, as Doctor Azeezah offered her a seat.

"Don't be offended with me Jare! I'm just been occupied these days, wallahi. In fact, I was planning to come and visit you and your sister tomorrow morning after this shift… You know, before going home." She explained.

"Ma, I understand." Humaira cuts in, unknowingly.

Doctor Azeezah raked her observing eyes through Humaira's pale face.

"Why are you looking o down? Hope all is well sha?"

"Yes ma'am." She started thinking about how to start telling her about what happened between her and Alhaji Musa. Was it right to tell her yet? Where to start from, how to say it . She searched and scratched through all her mind but felt empty. Her mouth was so dried and out of words. She never felt so ashamed of herself.

Doctor Azeezah could read her face that something was wrong. She stood up from her executive chair and came to seat with Humaira, facing her directly.

"You don't look alright my dear, tell me what's bothering you."

Humaira find courage to look up again, at the doctor's face.

"After since mum died ma, things haven't been going well for me. I'm so heart broken and lonely, and I have no one to run to."

Doctor Azeezah smiled and took off her glasses, placing it on the table before them. "But you have me right?'' She smiled. So tell me whatever you're feeling because a problem half shared is half solved."
