2020-05-29 06:33:50Juwairiyyah kept shaking the baby, shaking her so hard hoping the baby will make some sort of noise or just open her eyes. Fear crept into her heart, she laid down the baby back on her bed, and sat there, stunned, out of words, lost in deep thoughts.
"Mamanah! Mamanah...." Juwairiyyah choked, kneeling down by the bedside. Even in her ignorance of the death symptoms, the cold skin of her beloved daughter confirmed her fear.
"Hajiya! Hajiya come to my aid! Inna lillahi wa inna ilaihir rajiuun". Juwairiyyah said in tears, she choked up again for the second time, before losing her consciousness. Just then Hajiya Azumi, Hajiya Raliya and Alhaji Abbas came into the room, all shocked at the scene they saw.
"What could have happened?". Hajiya Raliya asked in tears, feeling the baby's pulse.
"Inna lillahi wa inna ilaihir rajiiun, she's gone Alhaji, help me look at her, Raliya is gone."
Let's go to the hospital, we might be wrong about it.

Arfaat paced up and down, to and fro, as hot tears rolled down his cheeks, he has lost his only daughter, his heartbeat, HIS PRICELESS JEWEL, a daughter he denied of being of his. O Allah, have mercy on me. He looked up at Alhaji Abbas in despair, then at Hajiya Raliya and Hajiya Azumi, who has all been crying since after the doctors confirmed baby Raliya’s death. It all came as a shook to them, even though they were ignorant of her real father, but they've all grown fond of her, they loved her as much as they loved Juwai.
"Its okay Arfaat, take heart, the baby is not even yours; so please worry less and let's concentrate on praying for Juwai to be back. She's been in that room for almost thr...."
He ended the speech as soon as he saw the red bulb at the entrance of the room Juwairiyyah was taken off, and the doctor came out, sweating furiously.
"Doctor, how is she please?" Arfaat asked trembling, and holding the doctor's hand...."tell me she’s okay please."
"We've managed to stabilize her condition, but no one can see her.... “Arfaat didn't even wait for the doctor to finish his statement, he went straight to the room, not minding to listen to the words the doctor was saying.
Juwairiyyah looked pale, cold and white, as if death has taken her also.
"Juwai, lilynah, my sweetest heart, my wife, my world, my everything. Don't do this to me please, Juwai wake up. I need you with me, I need you badly. I want you back into my life, wants you back as my wife, please Juwai". Still knowing the consequences of touching her, even knowing he has no right to touch her, he still did. He took her right hand close to his lips and kissed them lightly, then brushed a light kiss on her forehead.
"I promise you that I'll confess to our parents that Raliya was my flesh and blood, I promise you that am gonna tell them all that I am Raliya’s father, wake u....” his words were cut short by a voice from the back.
"Arfaat! What the hell are you talking about?"

"Is that a yes?"Junayd asked smiling. Juwairiyyah was still silent, she sat still, tears rolling down her cheeks, her heart beats increased in pace, as if she ran for kilometers without stopping. She grew up with Junayd, shared a lot of things with him. Infact, she was already in love with him when he left, but now, she is nonplussed of her feelings towards him, more so; she's now a divorcée, will he still marry her that way?.My earliest memory has always been with yaa junayd, him bathing me, feeding, clothing and so on.She was so engrossed in her thoughts, when she felt yaa junayd's hand on mine,... I looked up at him, her eyes still moist from the tears she shed. "What is it?" He asked ca

"Yaa Junayd, I missed you so very much, hope you are back for good now?". Juwairiyyah asked still holding his hands. Junayd smiled, caressing Juwai's face. He can't express how happy he is to see her........"yes baby, am back"....he said, taking her hands to his lips and pressing a light kiss on them..."am not gonna leave you agaiin."Who the hell is this?, Arfaat is totallyspeechless, he stood there stunned, totally out of words. He turned and look at Alhaji Abbas, Hajiya Azumi and Hajiya Raliya who were smiling at them. "Welcome back son, or are you still not done looking at your sister ?". Asked Alhaji Abbas, standing up and opening his hands for a hug."O papy, I missed you so very much". He walked to his open arms, but then suddenly changed his direction and hugged Hajiya Raliya, who only sat on

Arfaat! What the hell are you talking about?". Mai kunu asked shocked....."Don't tell me you denied the baby is yours?" She asked again, as tears rolled down her cheeks. Alhaji Abbas, Hajiya Raliya and Hajiya Azumi all stood at the doorway, stunned and suprised at what Arfaat was saying. Alhaji Abbas was flabbergasted remembering all what he did to her, what if she died? Without him asking for her forgiveness and telling her how much he love her."Mama, lis.....". A very sound slap landed on Arfaat right cheek, and another again on his left. "How dare you Arfaat! How could you do a thing like that? What has gotten into you? Was this how I brought you up? Am disappointed in you Arfaat, I really am". Mai kunu said, shaking Arfaat as tears of sadness keep rolling down her cheeks...."she's gone now Arfaat, she's gone. Are you happy?" "Mama pleas..."

"But he Arfaat is not her father".Juwairiyyah said anger building up in her, and a lot of hatred for Arfaat building more and more in her. She held the baby so tight to her, letting her feel her warmness. She just couldn't help it, and tears rolled down her cheeks, as tears roll down juwairiyyah only shook her head in despair. Wishing she had never came across a being like Arfaat. Hajiya Azumi stood at the doorway, looking at them both and wondering what is really going on between them both. She walked passed Arfaat who still sat in a one sitter, doing nothing but thinking of the best way to bring Juwairiyyah back to him."Let me have the baby Juwai". Hajiya Azumi said stretching her hands to the reach of juwairiyyah. "It seems like you guys have a lot to talk about, I'll take the baby with me so that you can talk peacefully. Am very sure something is wrong with the both of you." &nbs

"Juwai!!!" Arfaat shouted shaking her so hard. "Juwai, Juwai don't do this to me. We have a future ahead of us, we have a daughter now....please don't do this!" Arfaat said breaking into tears. "What happened to my daughter? Don't tell me she's dead doctor". Alhaji Abbas said trying to free Juwai from Arfaat's grip. "We need some time alone with her please. You all should go out". The doctor said addressing Arfaat and Alhaji Abbas."Doctor, I want to stay. I have to stay" Arfaat said still holding Juwairiyyah tight in his hands. "She's bleeding alot doctor, we have to act fast". Said one of the nurses."This time around, you are getting out of here!"* It's been three hours, there is still no news about juwairiyyah, none of the doctors and nurses attending to her came out. Arfaat is beginning to loose his senses, he didn't even care to look a
