WAITING FOR SADIQ
END OF BOOK ONE

It's the first time Nanah spend the night at luqman's house, yesterday afternoon after there lunch which was a bitter one to both luqman and Nanah especially with how basira keeps throwing insultive words at Nanah,
Luqman have to personally severely warned her which upset basira and she ended up not eating lunch with them, she didn't show up for dinner and luqman seems to careless about it because he do believe basira is been irrational and immature,
He asked Nanah to spend the night at his place because she's the only person that give him that happiness he always wanted,
This morning they prayed subhi prayer together before going back to bed, even tho Nanah offer to make breakfast luqman denied her telling her she shouldn't stress herself the maid's will do it.

The unnecessary knock on the bedroom door is what wakes Nanah and luqman, they both sit upright as Luqman sigh tiredly glancing at Nanah, he come down from the bed as Nanah curiously stare at the door,

After a while luqman shut the door and walk back inside the bedroom as Nanah give him a worried look.

"What happened?"Nanah ask grabbing him by the hand as he sit on the edge of the bed.

He facepalm with a sigh and look at nanah.

"Abubakar passed away,
The maid just told me,
That basira call her that she's been calling our contact but it's switch off,"luqman break the news as Nanah just stare blankly in shock.

"He died?"Nanah ask she still rather find it hard to believe, her mind wander to yesterday at her mum's place and she release a heavy breathe,
There's just this emptiness in her chest that she can't explain, crying self seems impossible because she still doesn't believe it.

"What happened to him?
Where are they?
Are they bringing his body here?"Nanah bombard the question and luqman stand up from the bed.

"I don't know if basira will bring the body here maybe she will take it to her brother's house, let me get dress,
She's not even answering my calls."luqman say and drop his phone on the bed before standing up.

Nanah come down from the bed, she still find it hard to believe they say death is unpredictable,
certainly it is, she feel guilty for how she treated abubakar yesterday morning and assuming she knows she will wake up to this traumatizing news she wouldn't have treated him the way she did, she grab the black abaya she wore yesterday and put it on.

"You should stay and have breakfast,
I will come back and pick you if basira choose to let the perform the ritual at her brother's."luqman say and Nanah shake her head.

"Food cannot even stay in my stomach mine,
Let's just go,
I want to be there for aunty basira."Nanah say and luqman grab his phone from the bed and the two exit the bedroom.

NANAH'S POV

Abubakar's untimely death has really affected me psychologically, his body was taken to his uncle house where they did the necessary things before he was taken to his final abode,
His mum isn't sure wether it's a suicide or natural death, the time of dead is also still not very sure, she said he called her the night before and they talk all night and tge next morning he wasn't picking her calls and she went to check on him only to find him in his bedroom as do he was sleeping,
It's painful, it hurt me to,
When I saw Abubakar body that day i also breakdown, he was such a good soul, a perfect gentlemen a caring doctor and certainly an amazing husband,
It's been a rough 2weeks for both Nanah and luqman, Basira look like a shadow of her own self, she doesn't eat and talk less, it's clear that nothing matter's to her anymore.
