chapter nine

        I'm very sorry Modibbo please bring my children back to me, wallahi ( I swear by Allaah) I miss them so much, most especially Affan i feel very lonely. She said while standing by the side of the bed.

   Wow, so you've learnt how to properly talk to me at last he said with an evil laugh...I'm so sorry dear but it's too late, he said while looking down on her I don't want my son to be as weak as you, neither do I want my daughter to start misbehaving like you.

   Why are you so heartless? can't you see I'm suffering? You know how I feel when my children stay away from me, but you keep doing this to me.

   Infact I was wondering of something last night.

   What's that? She asked as her eyes were all red and very swollen.

   I might get Ummi married to someone of my choice before she graduates from secondary school, but....he paused and had grinned at her.

   But what?  Umma asked in a scared tone.

   But I might change my mind if you learn how to behave properly, well the thing here is your daughter is always with you, so she might end up misbehaving like you.

  Can't you see the pain in my eyes?...how could you? She cried hysterically.

she'll end up taking after your bad habits, but you see when she's gets married and leaves you then you won't be able to influence her, and as for my only son.

  Our son Modibbo!

No he's my son not yours, you're just a good for nothing woman who gave birth to my children, infact consider yourself as a surrogate mother.

What?!

Yes you heard me right, i want him to be as strong as me, after all he has become weak as you as he has spent a lot of time with you so i have to teach him how to be a man.

I raised them, I've always been there for them but you were never there.

Yes you had a single job, a single job which was to raise them well but you failed on that.

But i was there for them. She cried

Guess what you'll never change, look at you talking back at me again.

  I'm so sorry 'll do anything you ask of Modibbo, but please don't separate me from my children.

  Anyways I asked Ummi to spend three months at Bahijjat's house and banned the both of you from communicating an i already sent the message to her if you both don't break my rules then, I'll change my mind but if you continue with your stubborness and I see a slight change in Ummi's behaviour then get ready to face the consequences.

     I'll do anything you want me to do, but please don't punish me like this. She said as she fell on the ground and kept weeping .

  Mukhtar is still thinking of what to do because he doesn't want to tell Bahijjat & Ummi who Amal is, but at the same time he still doesn't want to disappoint them, because that'll make his relationship with Bahijjat worse.

       What do I do? he murmured to himself as he bit his index finger so hard that he didn't bother the pain he was causing to himself.

   Bahijjat what do you think of Mukhtar? do you think he'll help us.

   Ummi to be sincere I don't think we should expect any useful information from him, because he's your brother's loyal dog he won't give us a single clue that'll lead us to that girl.
