'Why put us through this?' He spread his arms in exasperation
A'isha didn't know what to say, her emotions were a jumbled mess, she couldn't make heads or tails out of anything.
He sighed, he could feel his migraine rearing its head again. He took a couple of steps towards her to which she took the same backwards and he shook his head.
'Subhanallah, Dunni what happened? I was confident I knew a lot about you but I'm starting to realize I was greatly mistaken.' Silence.
LADUNNI gives us a sneak peak into the life and thoughts of a 26- year old Muslim Nigerian lady as she navigates understanding her heart and coming in terms with the fact that sometimes you do not need to be in control, especially in terms of the heart.

Before you go
"Listen to me Qurratul Ayn, before you go, I want to know; did I ever offend you? Is my love for you too little?" I can feel his hand hovering over mine. He wants to hold it, but he knows better than to do that. "Please, I don't want to do this now. My flight is in thirty minutes." I can feel the tears wetting my Niqab. "No! I want to know. Where did I go wrong? Was it money? I didn't feed you well? I didn't clothe you? My love wasn't enough for you? I need to know, all those years! You're seriously willing to throw them away like they were nothing?" A sob breaks out but I manage to hide it behind a cough.

You said you'd give me whatever I want? Then leave me be. I never loved you okay! I never did, it was all a sham, a facade!" His hand that was looming over mine falls limp beside him and he staggers back. "You're lying." He laughs. It's as if he's trying to convince himself. I scoff. "You think so?

He never calls me that, ever. "I know something is wrong, and wallahi I'm going to find it out and bring you back to my house in six months. I promise."

Absolutely nothing. * Ten years of loving, doting over each other and marriage, Fa'iza upped and suddenly said she wanted out of the marriage. After months of persuasion and blackmail, Bello let her go, but before she left, he made a promise. Would he be able to fulfill this promise? STARTED: COMPLETED:Complete
