Salma's Nikahh

chapter 14

Usman's POV.

I went to my sister's house

"The girl I told you about". I reminded her.

"Yes. What is her name?" Trying to remember.

"Zahra. What do guys need on this earth? She is so beautiful, her voice is okay, she has a great figure and I'm sure she has a nice character. "

"Have you been staring at her stature?" she asked.

"Ion knows but...

"Mute!" She shunned.

"What help can I give to her? I just need advice."

"Where did she stop?"

"Stop what?"

"Her studies. "She explained.

"Ion know we never talked about that."

"When you get home, ask her about your studies. You can get her a job or make her start a business of her own. You can help with capital. " she advised.

"Will she like the idea?"

"I don't know but that's all I can figure out."

"Okay. Thanks."

"Uwlc."

"I'll take my leave. We hugged each other. "I left.

My drive home.
I can't stop thinking about that girl. I had seen her only thrice but I can't just take her image off my head.
"Oh God see me through. "

I parked my car at the guest house park and headed upstairs to Salma's room.

I opened the door forgetting that I was supposed to knock.

Opening it. I saw her wet long hair stretched downwards.

"Oh, Almighty," I said in my mind as I closed the door. Seems she didn't notice.

I gave a gentle knock.

"Who is that? With a cool voice."

"Shagari," I replied.

It took her almost two minutes before opening.

"Come in." She opened.

I followed her back. Now she is wearing a hijab.

She sat on the bed and I sat on the couch.

"Good evening. " I greeted

"Evening."  she answered.

"I haven't gotten the opportunity to ask of some things. "

She kept on starring.

"You are a divorcee right ?"

"Yes.

"Are you a graduate? "

"I wish I was". She began playing with her fingers.

"Where did you stop? '

"Secondary school level ."

"Are you talking to me or your nails? "I rushed it out.

She gave a slight smile.

"Jamb is over now. I'm sure of that.
Do you like business? "

"Sir Shagari". She stood up. "Business was never my dream. I just want to become a medical doctor. I want to see myself at a hospital saving lives." She explained, demonstrating with her hands, going side, front, and back.

"Amazing." I smiled.

Now she is looking at me.

"OMG! Am I blushing?

"That should be after your birth. Salma's your antenatal starts tomorrow get ready, Hannatu will accompany you there. " I said.

"Okay. "

"I'll take my leave. "I stood up. Then left.

Salma's pov

I looked at his back as he left.
It's 9:45. I looked at the wall clock.

"This boring film should end." I frowned.

I guess it's time for bed.
I dozed off.

Mubarak's pov.
I sat down in the garden alone by 10 p.m.

"How can Ammi do this to me? She knows that I love kids. She keeps on aborting my babies. Is it because I wholeheartedly love her." As I drank from the glass of alcohol.

"Ami....  I shouted in pain throwing the bottle of whiskey on the grass. "
I cried bitterly.

My phone began ringing.

It's sister Mabruka.

"Hello, Mubarak. " she called out.

I wiped off my tears.

"Mubby. "She said again.

I couldn't talk.

"I'm sorry, so sorry. I haven't been checking on you guys. Have been busy with work. I just came back from Niger State. I went to treat someone who had a stroke but Alhamdullilah. It has been conquered. All my attention was on that man." She explained.

I began a new session of tears.

"Are you okay? I promise I'll see you soon. "

"Sister." In tears.

"Brother, what happened? Are you crying? "

I began crying loudly.

"Will you talk? You are making me scared. "

After some seconds of silence.

"I couldn't save a patient's life today at the hospital that's why I'm sad". I lied.

"Oh. You scared me to death. That's bad but you cannot Blame yourself. Everything is in God's hands. We cannot save nor can we restore. Yi hakuri Kaji?"

"Naji."

"I'll make it up to you as soon as I get a chance. "

"Okay. I'll be expecting. Good night. "

"Good night". she replied.

I ended the call and headed inside. Into my room and on the bed. I slept off.
