Abdulaziz
I stood there staring at the girl in front of me, was my eyes deceiving me or is that really suhaiba? I tried closing my eyes and opening it but she still stood there with a huge grin on her face. She was wearing blue ripped jeans, white tank top and a black leather jacket, with black flats and a multicolored side bag that went well with the veil she tied on her head. She was standing beside her suitcase with her hands on her waist firmly.
"oh please close your mouth, you look like an idiot." She rolled that erotic eyes of hers
"excuse me?" I asked dumbstruck
"I see you've added being dumb to the list of your shortcomings, oh well i don't want to repeat myself again.be a sweetheart and bring my suitcase upstairs I'm tired." She wave her hands around
Her words were firm and commanding. I watched her go upstairs while I stood there like a fool. I was confused and conflicted, All this did not make sense but her suitcase that stood by the side assured me that I wasn't dreaming. " what the hell is going on?" I asked myself. Is this really happening? Maybe ya zainab knows about this and can give me answers. I picked up my car key and was about to leave when a voice behind me jerked me back..
"the last time i saw you, you ran away and you're running g away again because I asked you to pick my suit case? Is running you specialty? your such a coward, I'll do it myself." She shook her head looking at me in disgust
Her words were like being stoned with thousands of rocks, who is that? cause she's not the gullible suhaiba I used to know. I have to ask ya zainab about all this. I quickly made my way to my car and drove off to see ya zainab.
****
I arrived at ya zainabs house and walked in to find her playing with alamin.
"what are you doing here? And why do you look flushed?" She raised her eyebrow at me
"you knew it didn't you!" I snapped feeling mortified
"calm down what are you talking about?"
"you know suhaiba is back don't you?" I glared daring her to lie straight to my face
"she's back? When? How?" The urgency in her voice clear I could see the shock on her face as well.
"today, she just showed up, she's like a completely different person." I find myself mumbling
Suhaibas
I heard the doorbell ring and rushed downstairs, it was ya Salim and the rest. I opened the door and welcomed them with a hug and offered them something to drink.
"it's so good to see you little sis, you look good, what's the secret?" Ya Samira teased
"lots and lots of rest." I answered simply
"well we don't do that these days, it's been hectic." Ya Salim groaned sounding tired
"lemme guess, work as usual?" I ask the workaholic, he nod looking defeated.
"but seriously we've missed the goody two shoes, it's so boring without you." Suhaila pouted
"dream on, the house is so peaceful, just go back." Ya sahil tried acting all tough
"whats wrong? did you swallow a grenade or something? Someone is in a bad mood." I wiggle my eyebrow trying to annoy him
"no my car got stollen and baba won't buy a new one for me." He answered looking disturbed
"serves you right, It's about time you start supporting your self."
"whatever" he groaned laying back down in the couch
"you should've told us to come pick you from the airport." Safwan talked soft
"nah just took a cab, it's way easier. Where is saffiya? I feel so guilty, couldn't make it to both her wedding and baby shower." I rub my neck feeling bad
"it's wasn't intentional, and she's got more problems to worry about." Ya suhaila tried confronting me
"what kind of problem?"
"well her husband hardly stays at home, the everyday trips plus the unstoppable messages he gets from secret lovers." Ya sahil growled looking pissed off
"men, I remember how he previously act around her. Like she's the only girl in the world, And now he treats her like she doesn't mean anything to him." I shake my head thinking back at how he'd call begging us to help him coax her to accept his feeling.
"I know right? Plus he spends no time with Ayman, and that baby is so cute. She looks just like him though." Samira commented
"it's sad, I really didn't expect him to be that way." Disappointed clear in my voice as I think back at a man I had so much exception on
"boys will be boys. But I swear if i see him I'm gonna make him atone for what he did to her." Ya sahil smirked looking creepy
"i thought you guys were friends?" I reminded him of the relationship they once shared
"not anymore, I regret knowing that bas***d." He seethed clenching his fist
"safwan your quite are you OK?" I asked my younger brother
"I'm fine i just get annoyed whenever I hear what she's going through, saffiya is a good soul she doesn't deserve that. You both don't." He replied sounding heartbroken
Just as we were talking a hard knock on the door stopped us, I walked to the door and opened it and in walked saffiya with her baby in one hand and a suitcase in another, she dropped her baby and hugged me, she was crying so hard I could hear the pain in her voice. Ya Salim rushed to pick Ayman from the floor while I and the others sat her down and tried to calm her.
"sofi what's wrong?"
"I'm done, am just done." She sobbed clutching on my shirt tighter
Abdulaziz
I sat there shaking my leg uncontrollably and biting my nails, the stupid Dora the Explorer TV show that was playing didn't make me feel better.
"stop that, your making me nervous." Ya zainab warned
"well shouldn't we be? I mean I swear that girl had a look in her eyes, a look I can't comprehend." I feel my hands shake
"that's just your conscience speaking. You left that girl hanging and now that she's back it scares you." She answered with no conviction in her voice
"OK I hear you, but I'm not here to listen to you preach. I'm here for advice if you have any?" I plead staring at her
" of course, you're at the right place. But something is bugging me, i mean why did she suddenly return at the exact time you did?" She was always like that, always suspected everything
"exactly, why now? What's the reason behind her sudden return?" I indulge in her conspiracy knowing fully well she was right ninety percent of the time
Suhaiba
We managed to calm saffiya down and I couldn't help but stare at her beautiful baby, she was so cute and i couldn't stop playing with her.
After we were sure that she wasn't crying anymore we decided to talk to her and find out why she was that way.
"I miss you so much suby you just left." She held me close
"I'm sorry,I had it rough and i needed to clear my head. Now tell me what happened."
"it's Muhammed, I'm sure the rest told you about how much he changed. I mean he's hardly at home, and when he is he's always chatting. He has no time for me but most importantly Ayman" she broke down again as tears roll down her cheeks
"come on sofi, don't cry." I try my best to coax her
"he traveled a week ago and came back yesterday just to travel back to Lagos this morning. So I found out that he left some files he's been working on and decide to call his secretary to inform her, but she told me that there was no business trip and his schedule has been cleared for a month now. So I decide to go through his stuff and found a key card to Sheraton hotel. I left Ayman with the babysitter and went there, tipped the man at the front desk and made my way to the room he was staying at just to find him with that stupid intern of his." Her cries got louder, I felt my heart break for her
"okay clam down, what intern?" Ya Salma asked sounding confused
"it's this girl who joined their company around the same time I got pregnant. he said she was talented and that he would take her under his wings, you know like train her. And that's when everything started, the late night comebacks and the frequent traveling. I mean I suspected it, but didn't think they'd gotten this far. So after i caught them I ran back to my car,He tried to catch up with me but I drove home packed as quickly as I could and came here." At this point she was hiccuping as she narrated what happened between them
"I'm so sorry sofi. You shouldn't go through this." I rub her back slowly
"so what do you plan on doing?" Ever the man with the plan, Ya salim enquired
"I'm leaving him, it's too much, I've had enough i can't continue." She replied sternly
" know I'm just a level two student and I don't know much about life, but I'm with you on this one." He nod agreeing with his sister
"even if you had plans of staying, I would've forced you to leave." Ya sahil galred at the wall opposite him, he felt guilty, after all he was one of their biggest supporter seeing had her Husband was his childhood friend.
"I just feel so sad for both you and Ayman." Ya Samira bite her lips in thought
"I think you should leave, I know it sounds wrong but I can't watch you suffer more Than you have." Suhaila agreed with Sofia's decision
"I'm with you on this one, But we have to talk with mom and dad. They have the final say In this you know." Ya salim said sounding reasonable
"I know. Thank you for being here for us." She smiled at us the best way she can
"we're family, that's what's expected of us. "Ya Salim smiled with a nod
"I'm curious about something though?" Safwan asked
"what is it.?" Saffiya turn to stare at him as she carried her baby
"I mean why now? Why did you choose to come back after 2 years all of a sudden suhaiba?"
" I'm back to repay a favour " i answer shortly
"what favour ?" My elder brother looked skeptical at my Riley
"Abdulaziz's of course I'm going to make him feel exactly the same way he made me feel. The hate, anger, embarrassment and suffering I went through. He's gonna pay for it, I'm gonna make him so miserable he'll wish he was never born . It's been something I've been planning for two years and now that am back, THE GAME HAS JUST BEGAN!" I smirked feeling like excited
