"First, you made me call these people and sounded at calm as possible. Second, you collected my phone and texted Adeelah. Beebo what's your motive behind all this? I wonder how you managed to make things up. I don't even understand why I did some things and why all of a sudden I feel regret washing me off."

She laughed. "I forgot to mention dear Ameer, I had to visit my soothsayer to do some work on you that's why you can't understand yourself. Now that you call me Beebo I fully understand that you're back in your senses. Whatever the case maybe, I have achieved my plans. One; Rabiu is humiliated in the community, as his daughter's wedding has been called off. Two, I'm finally getting him. Three, is left for me. You can go, go and see your father, son." With that, she turned on her heels, unchained his hands and left.

Ameer has remained on the chair, his head spinning on the effects of the revelations. Was life a game? How could all this be true? He didn't even know whether he should cry or scream. Beebo had spoken her own part of the story. The next was to hear from Adeelah's father. No scratch that, his father. But not yet, he has to go for a DNA test even though from all indications and his instincts he could tell Adeelah was his sister. He didn't even know what to do. What could Adeelah possibly go through after all this? How would she feel? How could she heal?

She had been broken and lonely yet she managed to be normal. He could read that from her eyes and now this... Ya Allah.

Ameer stood up from where he was sitting and began walking out of the place. Hidaya came to his mind, he suddenly felt like he was floating in the air. What would be her reaction? Could she absorb all this at once?

He didn't know and he would only know when he meets her. He walked stealthily, feeling his body light like a feather wandering in the air. His head was pounding hard, threatening to make him go nuts. He didn't know how to deal with the throbbing headache. Everything was too much for him. Too much to understand. Too much to believe.

Rabi'u Danbatta was his father. And Beebo wasn't his mother.

How bizarre!

Beebo smiled at herself when she got under her wheel. She had been deceiving a lot of people since she was young and it's time to stop everything since she's grown up. It's time to settle down with the love of her life and wait for death. No, she's not regretting any of her actions because she did them all to get what her heart wanted.

With another smile, she began driving on the highway that would lead her back home. She began to envision how their marriage life would be, how she would make him happy like she had always dreamt of before he cut short all her dreams. Now she would have him after so many years. She would have what she had been yearning for. Even though she had had his attention whenever Rahama was away, it wouldn't compare with what she would have now. Everyone has their own test and her own test was Dbt's love. She loved him more than everyone else. She had cheated on her husband because of him, she had killed her husband indirectly because of him.

No, she didn't kill her husband; she wasn't behind his assassination but she was behind his sickness before his death. A situation made her to choose. Either Dbt's or her husband's health. She chose Dbt because he was the love of her life. You see, she could never harm him.

With a lot of thoughts in her head, she smiled and continued to drive. She was in trance when she heard a truck honking from her back. It was too late to do anything and before she could think of what to do, the speeding truck crashed over her car.

There was a blast of fire at the instant.

Hajiya Sadiya and others had been pacing to and fro of the hospital premises since an hour ago. Abba had been taken to the intensive care unit and was given all the medical attention he needed. The doctor just came out with a sigh. He looked around and asked for the eldest in the family. Hajiya Sadiya presented herself in his office after his request to see her.
