There was a heated discussion going on  downstairs and I went to check what was  up.

"Mama please calm down". There was this zing I felt in my heart when I heard his voice.

Weeks have passed since I even saw his face, Hajiya did not even let him enter the house till today, she was also angry at him for not telling her that her husband was murdered and he kept it from her for so long.

He didn't even tell her personally, I was explaining everything that happened between us to her then it slipped out of my mouth, she looked so shocked about it, then I shut my mouth after the realization hit me, she also didn't know and I was the one breaking the news to her.

"Even if she wouldn't follow me home let me at least speak to her" he said, on hearing this I quickly went to the room and closed the door silently, I sat on the bed and pretended to be using my phone when Hajiya entered with a smile on her face, she was really enjoying this.

"He wants to meet you".

"It wouldn't change anything besides I'm traveling tonight" I said.

"Don't you want to meet him before you go?" she asked.

"I'll be lying if I said I don't want to, but I can't just go back now, I'm sure he just wants me to go back so he doesn't feel guilty".

"If it's making you this sad I'll send him away, the same way I've been doing this past weeks" she said, I cleaned the tears that almost fell from my eyes.

She smiled at me assuring me that everything will be fine then she left the room.

"She wouldn't be meeting you" Hajiya Maryam said to Bilal as he adjusted the way he sat down rubbing his forehead slowly, he stared at his mother without saying a word.

"You can now go back to the office you give more attention to than your wife" she said then she left the sitting room and went straight to her room without even looking at him.

He stood up immediately and went outside, he rested his back on the car and stared up at the window hoping he'll get a glimpse of Aisha but he didn't even get to see her shadow, in disappointment he entered his car and drove back home, he hasn't been to the office since the day she left home, Adil was the one taking care of everything, he needed time to understand what was happening in his life.

I packed the few things I'll be taking with me to Turkey, I wasn't able to go to Syria when the NGO was going so I had to make it.

In the evening before leaving I went to meet Hajar, I met her in an undisclosed location incase, so she wouldn't be in trouble.

"Hey" she hugged me tightly.

"I actually needed that hug" I said smiling faintly.

"Oh my I'm sorry for what happened to you".

" Why are you apologizing, even I don't know why I was kidnapped so you shouldn't be apologizing" I said.

"Tell me everything you know about Bashir" she said.

I told her everything, the past relationship between me and her husband Bashir, the kidnapping and everything that happened since the last time I met him.

"I don't know if I'm meant to tell you this" She said.

"Tell me what?".

"They know something about Alhaji Muhammad's death".

"Bilal's dad?, What do you mean by they, who?" I didn't even know if what I was saying was making sense, she already had tears rolling down her cheeks as she forced herself not to cry.

"Yesterday I went home to visit my parents but I couldn't find anyone home  I... I was about to leave when I heard something falling from the guest room" she sobbed loud before continuing.

"The door was locked so I went to the store to get a spare key, I opened the door but I couldn't see anyone, I asked if there was anyone there but no one replied, I was about to go then I heard my mom's voice, I turned and I saw her coming out of where she hid, she was covered in blood and bruises".

"Who did that to her?".

"My dad" she said then she burst into more tears. I consoled her by giving her a tight hug.

" My mum said I should tell you that my father is behind the death of your father in-law, and Bashir has been helping him cover up his bad deeds".

"Subhanallah" I said covering my mouth in shock, this was too much for me to handle.

" My dad wanted to create a drug that was illegal and will make the whole country drug addicts but Alhaji Muhammad sent people to burn down the warehouse, my dad later found out it was him so he sent people to murder him, no one knew this only my mum that's why he tortures her to avoid her saying the truth to anyone, she has been scared her whole life, he tried to get me married to Bilal so even if he finds out he wouldn't be able to do anything because we're already family that didn't work so he planned your kidnap to bring Bilal to him".

"You need to tell Bilal all this" I said to her.

"I know I just wanted to let you know first".

"Thank you Hajar, may Allah bless you for your courage to go against your own father".

"Ameen, may Allah protect us" she said then we hugged eachother.

"Hope you'll be safe?" I asked her.

" I don't know" she said worry written all over her face.

"Call Bilal and tell him to send his security to guard you because you have information about who murdered his dad, he'll come to you immediately" I said to her.

" I escaped with my mother so I have to take her with me to reveal everything before my dad finds out we're gone".

"Okay till we meet again" I said to her.

"You're going somewhere?" She said.

"Yes I have a flight to catch" I said.

" You're travelling alone?".

"Yes please don't tell Bilal about it okay".

"Did something happen?" She asked.

"Long story girl".

"Whatever it is I just want to tell you that I think he likes you, like have you seen the way he looks at you damn like he wants to...".

" Girl bye" I said stopping her from completing her statement, something about what she said made me wish it was true.

We bid eachother farewell and I rushed to the airport and I saw Hajiya waiting for me there.

"Be fast you'll miss the flight" she said.

"There's something you need to know but Bilal will tell you himself" I said then I hugged her and left.

Everything was sorted out and I was already on the plane leaving for Turkey.
