LOGIN..which one do you prefer?". Asked Arfaat.
Juwairiyyah couldn't believe what she just heared. Could Arfaat be serious? Was that the reason he pushed on to the marraige issue? O Allah na, na shiga uku!
"Y...ya..yaa Arr...Arf..Arfaat, p...plea...please don't d..do this to me, I will do anything, please" Juwairiyyah pleaded tears gushing out of her eyes.
"Na...naa naaaa....too bad, you've given up already. Well let me make something clear here Juwai. Am going to take what is mine today, either you agree to it or I force you to. I don't really give a damn, You've tarnished my image in the eyes of your parents; Did you know how much that hurts?"
"Yaa Arfaat, forgive me please. Am just a kid, please forgive my insolence. Don't do this to me. Please."
"Your pleadings won't stop me from doing what I want to, after all you are legally mine now". Arfaat said smiling.
"Look here Arfaat, its not like i'm afraid of you or something, don't you dare lay those filthy hands on me, I repeat__don't even dare. Am far more better than you in every aspect and you know it. What I did was just for revenge___how could you even think of taking away my virginity when I don't even love you___you imbecile!" She bellowed angrily, wiping the tears with the back of her hand before slowly getting up from the bed she was sitting.
"Juwai, don't stress yourself___You know you can't stop me from doing what I want to" Arfaat said grabbing her hips closer to him.
Juwairiyyah started fighting to free herself from the tight grip of arfaat's hands, but she couldn't move and inch. Out of no where arfaat started kissing and romancing her in every single angle of her body that deserves it. Juwairiyyah couldn't help but burst into tears. Tears of sadness and agony.
"Dan Allah (For Allah's sake) stop this Arfaat, don't do this to me. Am sorry" Juwairiyyah said crying as if she's going cry her eyes out.
"Shhh.... Let's enjoy this babe. Trust me, am the romantic type". Arfaat said placing his lips on her's, kissing her like a wild beast.
Juwairiyyah tried as much to free herself, but she couldn't. Arfaat has already relieved her of her cloths. She kept crying and pleading but Arfaat didn't bother to stop what he is doing or even notice how her breath is giving up.
That very night, Arfaat did what any husband could offer his wife on their first night.
*
Juwairiyyah woke up around 10am the next day. Arfaat tried numerous time to wake her up for her morning prayer, but juwairiyyah didn't even bulge. She slept so deep that very day cause she never experienced something as painful as what she did that very day.
"Good morning lily, Wash up, I’m gonna serve breakfast, I’m a good cook, my dishes are mouth watering with a cryptic sneer on his face, everything was going just the way he wants.
Juwairiyyyah burst out into tears as soon as she remembered what has transpired between them.
"I hate you Arfaat, I hate you more than anything in this world. You took my pride away, what i've been keeping so long for my Mr. Right, But believe you me, you are going to pay dearly for this__I really mean it!" She snapped.
"Her words were comical to Arfaat; believe me__ you'll be the one to suffer in this. Go easy with me Juwai, am not too good when it comes to people I so much hate!"
"Do your worst Arfaat!, I don't really care."
"Now get up and pray babe, or should I help you up. Geeezzzz, lemme help you up" Arfaat said lifting her up.
"Put me down you fool."
"Come on, let me wash you up. Who knows maybe you can't Even perform the ghusul! (Ritual bath performed by for purification of the body, predominantly done by Muslims)"
"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..."
Juwairiyyah 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.
"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
