H A N A N

I ran out of the room crying my worries out, and still thinking of what Malika said "I am strong and I am not alone Allah is always with me" I kept chanting in the car on my way to my house oh yes I asked Zayds driver to take me home

I brought out my phone and called mama not before making a mental note to myself not to sound sad.. "Hello Mama"
" yes I am fine and perfectly okay...uhmmm we had to come back as soon as possible because Afnan was sick..yes".....

We finished talking... I quietly closed my eyes feeling the pain lessen after I recited a few supplications

Z A Y D

"What was that?" I asked angrily glaring at Malika who was seated on the chair shaking her leg vigorously also chewing on a gum

" What the hell was that Malika I'm asking you and don't you just sit there staring at me" Malika stood up looking at me with her hands folded across her chest "What was what? I only spoke the truth, said what was on my mind" she said still chewing on her gum

I need to go to Hanan before she does something to herself, I hissed walking out of the room to the parking lounge, Only to find that my driver was no where to be found maybe she asked him to take her home but let me confirm first

I dialed his number and asked him and he confirmed it he told me that her eyes was red when she came and ask him to take her back home, I then ask him to come pick me up when he drop her and he replied with okay.

30mins later

My driver(Mallam Tasiu) drove into the hospital compound and I hopped into the car "to Hanan's house please"i demanded

The drive there was longer than I thought, I pulled out my phone to call her that's when I realize that I don't even have her phone number oh Allah I have been so unfair to her, ya Allah I muttered closing my eyes as I lean back on the car seat, Mallam tasiu honked at the gate, the gate man quickly opened the gate not before checking who was there..

We exchanged greeting with Baba hamisu, I walked to the front door only to find the door opened Alhamdulillah i muttered as i walk into the house. The house was sparkling clean,The smell of turaren wuta hit my nose this is actually the second time that I've ever come to this house

I searched for her downstairs but she was not there so I went upstairs in search for her,I walked into her room and heard the soft sound coming from the bathroom.

Moving closer to the bathroom door i heared her silent sobs coming from the bathroom , " I am strong, I am not alone Allah is with me"she kept muttering that and I couldn't help but smile, as I walk closer I noticed the door was slightly open and she was washing the bathroom. I smile looking at her.

" What are you doing" I ask staring at her by the door, "Oh Allah you scared me" she said her hand on her chest, I smiled looking at her "Sorry I didn't mean to", "I'm washing the bathroom" she replied rubbing the mirror with sponge.

"You should rest, you are sick and we just came back from a long journey you need some rest" I uttered," I will rest only after the house is clean and fresh and by the way im almost done" she whispered wiping away her tears .

"OK then, let me help" I said removing my blazer then folded m my sleeves up and ambled into the bathroom .

"No! please ya Zayd let it be, by the way I'm almost done" she said trying to convince but she should know that I am also very stubborn , "no I insist" I said walking pass her to grab the hand shower from its place and began to wet the toilet . "Ya Zayd please you are going to get yourself drenched" she said trying to collect the shower from my hand.

I aimed the shower at her, "Please stop" she yelled laughing,

I couldn't stop myself from laughing also, Hanan picked a bucket filled with water and poured the water all over me, I frowned my face... she stopped laughing , "Am. s.. o sor.... ry" she stammered and I couldn't hold my laughter anymore.. I quickly grabbed the hand shower from the floor and began to spray it at her, "this is not fair" she yelled collecting the shower from my hand and spraying it on me as well, I grabbed her to me and began to tickle her and she laugh jumping.

Gosh she looks very beautiful, breathtakingly beautiful the way she jumps, laugh she's just very beautiful I thought as I watch her laugh. She stopped laughing after a while looking at me.

"I'm sorry"I said and she looked confused, "I'm sorry about malika's behavior earlier...I'm sorry for everything" I said and she stood there staring at me blankly as tears threaten to fall.

"I... "she stammered wiping her tears away, I walked closer to her as new set of tears brim out of her eyes,"I'm really sorry Hanan for everything I have done to you, for mistreating you, for ignoring you, for everything" I said cupping her face and that's it she broke down crying

I pulled her into an enamored hug her.

We stayed like that for almost about 5 minute before she pulled out of the hug her eyes red as tomato, she wiped away her tears,"you should go get change before you catch a cold while I finish this off" she smiled as she put off the shower and return the stuffs back to their place

"You should do the same" I said watching her,she nod her head, "I will just freshen up"
"Ok" I said, I went to my bedroom, it was also clean and smelt of turaren wuta,everything was also in place,This lady is such a sweetheart I thought

I took a hot bath then I realized that I didn't have a cloth to wear so I just got dressed in my wet cloth making a mental note to stop by at malika's to change my attire before going to the mosque to pray Isha.

Hanan

I just couldn't help but break down in front of Ya Zayd

He actually apologized for the all the things he has done, and now I couldn't contain the happiness I felt , smiling as I recall the fun we had today, I walked out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around my chest.

Settling down on a chaie, I quickly applied body lotion and got dressed in a blue material,combed my long hair and styled it in a bun making a mental note to get it plaited tomorrow insha Allah. I picked a black scarf and tied it on my head.

I walked downstairs to get something to eat when Zayd salamed, i answered looking at him, Wow!! he looked handsome in his jallabiya
