WAITING FOR SADIQ
CHAPTER 54

Nanah's POV

Healing is a process when it comes to physical healing one easily forget about the trauma but with emotional healing it's a gradual process and we don't always completely heal because the trauma it's always there we just learn to live with it and life goes on.

When I make the decision to leave Abu and walk out of his life completely 5months ago i know it's the rightful thing for me to do but at thesame time I'm certainly sure i will go through alot of pain especially with how much i love you, but love is a feeling that easily fade away when we pay less Attention and decide to let go,

Abu didn't say much that day he just walk out and didn't say a word to me neither my mum, I relocated to Ghana 2days after i completed my iddah,
I got a job in a hospital and I'm staying with my Aunty for now, I wanted to bring khairat with me but my mum said i should wait until i settle down completely.

Coming down from the cab i hand the taxi driver the money and walk inside the shop, everyday I close from work i come straight to my aunty's shop to help her out,
Aunty rukayya own this big fabrics shop despite the 3sales girls in the shop there are days where customers seems to be more than usual.

"Nanah,
You close late today hope everything is alright?"she ask and i nod tiredly dropping my handbag on chair, the shop is less busy today so i sit next to her on the plastic chair.

"There was a slight hold up,
How is market today?"she ask as she ask one of the sales girl to get me something to drink.

"Alhamdulilah,
Alhaji luqman just left, he even ask about you."she say and i nod not wanting to discuss the topic much.

Alhaji luqman is actually this man that own one of the biggest jewelry shop next to my aunty, we only met once and he told my aunty he likes me,
I didn't oblige i gave him a slight attention and he told me he's from Nigeria, he's in his middle 50's and is a married man, he told me he really like me and would like to marry me, he said he need someone to stay here with him in Ghana since his wife refused to relocate with him,
He told me he's been married to his wife for over 20years and he doesn't have any child but he have a step son that his wife have from a previous marriage, I don't know what to think of him,
I'm not sure I'm ready to settle down now, but he seems like a really nice man and he's matured, I'm certainly not going to be selective when it comes to men especially at this age the last thing i want is to become a victim of yet another traumatizing relationship all in the name of love.

"Nanah toh since you finish your iddah,
Just give Alhaji a chance,
You are 31 you need to settle down and start a family,
Have you been taking your medication?"she ask and i sigh,
Aunty rukky took me to this local fertility clinic and they gave me this herbal that it might help me if I'm lucky, it's 21st century and I'm not putting much hope on this traditional medicine.

"I'm taking it,
I was thinking of visiting my mum and khairat they say they are on holiday."I say with a sigh and my aunty shrug.

"If i where you Nanah wlh i will marry before i leave this country, so that atleast everyone will see you've move on and you are happy."aunty rukky say dramatically and i laugh.

"Aunty rukky I don't want to rush things please,
This relationship thing is not something i want to give all my all and at the end get one massive heart break."I say and she laugh.
