TEARS OF BETRAYAL Episode 20
FINAL EPISODE

The best of marital life comes when you get married to someone you love.I'm very grateful to God daya bani miji kamar Aslam.Our years of relationship weren't invain and that I'm especially grateful for.

I have been married to Aslam for just a week and I have known nothing more than happiness and contentment. He helps me with the house choirs and also in the kitchen.He prepares breakfast for me when I feel lazy to get out of bed, and on the day I feel too lazy to cook,he takes me out for lunch or dinner or order in for us both.On Saturday he took me for shopping and on Sunday we went to the movies.He's been really sweet and adorable.

I was in the kitchen when I heard a knock on the gate and headed straight for it.I was surprised at who it was......"Saudat".....,I said screaming and gave her a very big hug.She brought her baby Nidal..."Sannu da zuwa,shigo".....I said as I dragged her into the parlor.I was more than happy to see her.I got her a drink and some cake...."Amarya amarya..ina angon ne??...""....Saudat asked....."Wallahi ya fita,yaje gidan su Hajiyan shi nan bayan mu"....I said with a smile...."Allah sarki,ya amarci,ince dae Ana mishi girki Kalakala".....Saudat asked...."Haba dae an kin San ni ba daga nan bah"....I said and muka tafa..

"Yauwa you said zaki fada mun wani Abu bayan biki,Amma naji shuru.".....I said with a wonder....."Eh I ll tell you.Amma kaffin nan,Have you told Yusra kinyi aure kuwa.Nasan bakiyi inviting dinta bah because ban ganta a biki bah".....Saudat said with a serious face....."Bayan abunda ya faru,there's no way zan sake janyo ta jikina when nasan Yusra bah wadda mutun zaeyi relying on bace in mutun ya shiga matsala."....I said with sad eyes..."Gaskiya nima na dade ina fushi da ita,Amma kuma Yusra yanzu abun tausayi ce fah"....Saudat said painfully....."Abun tausayi kuma,what happened to her?"....I asked curiously.

"Ai In baki labari,Mijinta manemin matan aure ne bata sani bah.Ashe wae dama cen yana neman matan Banza,so iyayen shi said he should find a wife and settle down me makwan bin matan da yake yi,shine da suka Hadu da Yusra,bata Gama karantar halinshi bah akayi auren gaggawa kawai sabida tana son aure.Toh bayan Sunyi aure ashe baiyi changing bah.Akwae wata makociyar ta,Yusra ta jata ajiki,ashe akwae wani Abu a tsakanin ta da mijin Yusra.Sai daga baya Yusra ta Gano,shi ne ta samu mijinta ta fada mishi tasan akwae wani Abu tsakanin shi da neighbor dinsu,ai kuwa that was where the war started.He got angry and said shi dama ya gaji da ita,if she cannot live with him a haka,she should leave.Ta bar mishi gidan shi and har yau beje Biko bah, iyayen ta suka aika Yaje, instead ya tura mata takardar saki.Yanzu dai tana gida ga ciki wata shida.".....Saudat said sorrowfuly..... "Innalillahi, Amma banji dadi bah wallahi.Gaskiya be kyauta bah.Amma itama Yusra da Lefin ta,sabida son aure tayi rushing yanzu ga irinta nan.Kuma trust is not built in a month or two,I thought 5years din da mukai tare ya isa tayi trusting dina but she didn't.Taje tayi trusting wata stranger kawai sabida itama matar aure ce,yanzu gashi budurwa bata gwace mata miji bah Amma matar aure ta kwace mata shi,Allah ya kyauta."......I said with a heavy heart...

"Sallamualaikum"....Aslam said..."waalaika salam"...Saudat and I answered......"Su Saudat ne a gida"....Aslam asked...."Eh wallahi,ango.Ya gidan?I hope Afnan is taking good care of you"....Saudat said laughing..... "Lafiya wallahi.Gaskiya she is"....Aslam said....."Toh alhamdulillah,Allah ya bada zuria ta gari da zaman lafiya,nidai bari In tafi Tunda ka dawo ".....Saudat said getting up....."Haba dae har zaki gudu?"....I asked.

Aslam and I tried to make her stay but she refused and left.Muka rakata har mata,Aslam ya daukar mata Nidal ya saka shi a car sit en dake cikin mota, ta tafi then muka koma ciki...

I told Aslam what happened and he told me to forgive Yusra and if possible in kirata inyi mata jaje and I promised I will.

"Guess what"....Aslam said....... "ummmm,you know I'm terrible at guessing".....I said with a pitiful face....."Yanzu daga wurin Daddy nake,ya ke fada mun company dinshi na nan needs a Head so I'm taking his place as the CEO, kinga that way we don't have to move back to London Tunda dama kince you want to go to Law school here after munje mun dawo daga honeymoon .After your law school kuma,My Younger brother Auwal can take my place anan then sai mu koma London inyi heading branch din cen and you can be our Branch Lawyer".....Aslam said......"awww thank you for putting me first"...I said.

Aslam and I are happy,very happy and I Want nothing more than to spend everyday of my life with him,because we promised we will love eachother even when we hate eachother...My fairy-tale marriage finally a reality.

TEARS OF BETRAYAL Episode 19

The past two days have been very hectic for me.I had to go to the photographer for the photo ideas,video coverage, our 15mins pre wedding coverage on the day of my bridal shower,the make up artist for payment and timing,and later went for my bridal gowns fittings.Thank God I have Meenal and Khairat to help me with all these.Saudat is going to be my maid of honor.

*****************************
WEDDING DAY 1
BRIDAL SHOWER.

The bridal shower started at about 4 pm.I had gone to the make up studio earlier on for my make up while Aslam and his bestfriend were outside waiting for my make up to be completed. I have never looked more gorgeous and happy.I got to the car and Aslam came down to open the day for me.We sat at the back while Salim drove us to the event centre....

"You look breathtaking "....Aslam said....."Na sani ae"....,I said teasingly....."You look so good too"....I added and for the first time ever he held my hand.

Salim parked and we knew we had arrived the venue,he turned back and took us a couple of pictures and Aslam went out of the car and opened the door for me.He extended his hand for support and I got out of the car.

The decorations were out of this world,and matched my golden gown and dark brown head gear and Aslam golden gezna with dark brown embroidery and dark brown cap.We look amazing, even I could tell.

We walked down the rose paddle and headed for the bridal and groom royal chairs under our special tent. there was music every where and our wedding song was played.
A lot was on display, dance troops, miming crew and alot more.
The event was rounded up and Aslam took me home and I wished the day will never end,but it has to.Tomorrow is another day.

******************************
WEDDING DAY 2
DINNER

I got dressed around 5pm and waited for my make up artist.My make up today will be done at home.Aslam is suppose to pick me up at 8pm for the dinner.
I wore an orange gown with orange head gear decorated with butter colored design.
My make up was completed and I headed out to meet Aslam.

We headed for the venue all smiley and happy.Aslam wore a peach coloured Gezna kaftan with butter color embroidery and peach cap with butter color design.

The hall was well lite and everything looked perfect.We had the toast,and Aslam and I danced shyly mostly talking to eachother to get distracted from the crowd that was looking at us.We cut our cake and had our toast...."I have never desired or wanted any girl from the moment I met you.You are all that I have always wanted and will always want to be with.I pray I keep you happy and proud of me all days of our lives"....Aslam said and I felt a tear dropping down my chin and the crowd roared "Amin"......."I promise to be the best wife in the world and will always keep you happy and give you beautiful babies".....I said and there was a laugh in the crowd.
The dinner ended and Aslam dropped me home...."Daga gobe dai shikenan "....Aslam said...."Wallahi,shikenan na zama matar ka".....I said with a laugh......"Alhamdulillah atleast yau dai I can hug you goodnight koh".....he said teasingly...."Haram"....I said and we both laughed loudly and he and Salim drove off.

******************************
WEDDING DAY 3
DAURIN AURE.

"Hello wifey"....Aslam said on the phone....."Haha tukunna dai,sai ka bari a daura"....I said with a laugh...."A daura me kuma,ai an daura yanxu mah muna hanyan gidanku"....Aslam said....."Haba,I must have lost track of time,well in that case, hello hubby."....I said over excited.

Aslam and his friends came over and we snapped alot of pictures.My little cousins organised a little Walima for me at home and it was fun.

Finally it was 6pm and time for conveyance of bride.I have never seen my mum crying so much before, but today I did.We had an emotional moment with my siblings and cousins and I was put in the car and off to Aslam's house.

Mine and Aslam's house is very close to his parents house.I stepped feet in my matrimonial home for the first time and I was having mixed feelings. I was happy that finally I will be with Aslam forever but I was sad I had to leave my family behind,but it's what every girl has to go through.

Every one left and it was just me and my ango.I didn't realize I was hungry and hadn't eaten all day sae da naji kamshim kazar yahuza.I was too busy crying all day I didn't realize all I had tun safe was a cup of kunun Aya.
We prayed like every newly weds and I ate so much of the kaza wai danma inajin kunyar mijina,Yes mijina...Mijina Aslam.

TEARS OF BETRAYAL Episode 18

TEARS OF BETRAYAL Episode 18

Haven attended an 8weeks course in make up school while waiting for my posting for youth service after graduating from the University, I know alot about make up and I hardly apply them on myself,but today is different.Aslam is back to his normal self,with health and strength and will be here in less than an hour.

I was getting freaked out,loosing steps in my make up application and tripping over things.My own room is a mess because of the things I have scattered on the floor and clothes on the bed.I changed about four times before I finally decided to stick with an all black Abaya with sky blue stones,knowing sky blue is Aslam's favourite colour.

Aslam came into the parlor before I could finish getting ready.I rushed and went straight to the parlor to see him and he was looking so great in Maroon coloured Polo Shirt and a black Jean,really casual I must say.

"Assallamualaikum"....I said as I entered the parlor. He didn't say anything for a while.All he did was stare at me before he finally opened his mouth to say "wooh"....."Kin Dade baki fito ba,ina kika shiga haka"....he said....."Na tafi koyo ansa sallama"....I said with a grim on my face....."Oh sorry, waalaiki salam "....he said...."kinyi kyau da yawa ne shiyasa I was carried away".....Aslam added......"Naji..... dadin baki"....I said with a smile...."hehe ba wani dadin baki,this is just me praising my rigimatu ".....he said with the cutest laugh I have ever seen....."Haha yau kuma haka suna na ya koma? Rigimatu??!!?! ".....I said with a little smile and a frown....."Eh mana you have started your rigima again"....he said with a broad smile....."Naji"....I said with a laugh.

Aslam and I talked for over two hours,we talked about our wedding preparations, pre-wedding pictures, events,honeymoon and so much more.
Aslam has always hated crowd, it was real hard work for me to convince him to agree to two events, dinner and bridal shower.
Growing up, I have always wanted to have a very big wedding with atleast five days of events,but being with Aslam I knew baya son taro da yawa,so we agreed on just two,har daurin aure three.

Hours flew and soon it was time for Aslam to go and that made me shed tears...."Mene abun kuka kuma,I have been here for hours fah,baki son inje gida In huta?".....Aslam said with a big smile...."Toh go home,tafi kaje ka huta,sai da safe".....I said and turned to make my way into the house,leaving him near his car outside the parking lot...."aa wasa nake,kar kiyi fushi mana,as long as you are angry I'm not going anywhere".....he said with a wry look on his face....."Haha let me continue being angry then,so that you won't go."....I said with a kind of wicked laugh....."hah,na Gano wayyon ki,kuma naqi wayyon.I have to go kinji,kamar yau ne,just three months left and har sai kince wai yau Baza ka fita bane.stop the tears Kinji".....he said with a smile and headed for my face with a handkerchief....."Haram"....I said with a laugh and moved backwards...."hah I'm handing you the handkerchief, ba goge miki hawayen zanyi bah".....he said laughing uncontrollably....."Oh,na dauki wani Abu da ban,ince ka taba gani wani ya goge mah matar wani hawaye".....I said with a joke....."matar wah?Ba ayi wanin bah tukun,in mah anyi Akan ki sai Inda karfi na kare".....Aslam said...."Naji..... dadin baki"....I said jokingly....."Naji,rigimatu.I have to go.I ll see on Friday in sha Allah."....Aslam said and all I did was nod my head and watch his car out of the gate.

******************************
THREE MONTHS LATER.

It's a week to  our wedding and all preparations have been made.I sent out the invitations and I totally didn't make time to go to Saudat's house.."Lemme call her"....I said to myself.

"Hello,Umman Nidal"....I said...."Afnan, ya kike kwana biyu"....Saudat said....."Wallahi kuwa,ya danmu, ya mai gida"....I asked.... "He's fine wallahi. Kinji shuru koh?wallahi I couldn't call you bayan abunda ya faru a gidan Yusra,tun lokacin nake Jin nauyin kira,because if I hadn't convinced you to go,da abunda ya faru bai faru bah".....Saudat said..."Bakomai, it's in th past ai.Dama I called in fada miki,In Allah ya yadda next week bikina da Aslam,zan turo miki IV through Meenal zata zo unguwar ku gobe"....I said....."Kai....Alhamdulillah. Allah ya sanya alkhairi.gaskiya na miki murna.da akwae abunda zan fada miki,Amma bayan mu Gama shagalin biki zanzo har gidanki sai in fada miki".....Saudat said....."Toh Allah ya kaimu.sai kinzo bikin"....I said and we said our goodbyes.

I wonder what could be wrong. Meyasa bata fada mun ba tace sai bayan biki?I hope dai all is well.can't wait to hear what it is.

TEARS OF BETRAYAL Episode 17

TEARS OF BETRAYAL Episode 17

I woke up in the hospital,clearly conscious of what had happened before I blacked out.I looked at the ceiling and I couldn't stop crying.I was trying hard to get out of my hospital bed when Umma held me and tried to calm me down..."I caused this,wallahi ni na janyo, if I hadn't been so hard on him,if I hadn't told him I hate him,I probably wouldn't be In this condition and he would have stil been alive".....I said in so much tears and anguish....."He isn't dead,suma yayi and zai samu sauqi".....umma said...."Umma Dan Allah take me to him,take me to him kar ya mutu ban ce mishi I'm sorry bah"....I said amidst tears.

I was discharged the next day.Aslam is still in the hospital.I have been by his bedside all day.He was recovering fast and I am happy being by his bedside.

After the argument Aslam and I had,he left my house and headed straight for home to tell him mum everything and have her come to our house to explain all that's happened between us.He was in deep thought about losing me or atleast so his mother said,that he lost control of his car and hit in drum on the road side which soldiers have put to demarcate the roads.He lost consciousness and was rushed to the hospital.Everyone thought he was dead and so did I.

I was so angry with him that I forgot he deserved to be heard and felt so ashamed when his younger sister told my parents and I what really happened between us.

"Yaya Aslam finished his Exam earlier than expected and without telling Afnan came back to Nigeria to surprise her,considering she hadn't seen him in over a year.He couldnt get you on phone because because he had to buy new simple when he got back and calling you will mean ruining the surprise he had for you but was still using his other number for Whatsapp .The next day After he came back,Daddy called him and told him About his thoughts na ya hadda shi aure da Yar aminin shi.Yaya Aslam has never said no to Daddy sabida biyayya da yake yi a gare shi.Yaya Aslam ya kasa fada mah Daddy about Afnan has maganar da sa ya shiga tunanin har saida ya kwanta a asibiti for a week.I couldnt watch Yaya Aslam suffer shiyasa na fada mah su Daddy about you.Daddy ya sami Aslam and yace his health and happiness is more important ya fada mishi wadda yake so,and zai aura mishi ita.Aslam told Daddy about you and about your background and Daddy ya Gano,kece Yar aminin nashi da dama ya ke da niyar hada shi da ita.Aslam was over joyed to know cewa kece wadda zaa hada shi da ita dama,and he called immediately to tell you Amma your phone was off,I suggested yayi sending miki text message and he did,and the next day shine sukaje gidan ku da su umma,Yaya bazai taba cin amanar ki bah"........Sumayya said in deep pity for Afnan and Aslam....

I couldn't help but break down in tears.I doubted him when I needed to believe him the most.I had to find a way to make it up to him and I didn't know where to begin,but I just have to let him know how deeply sorry I am.

******************************

Three days after Aslam was discharged from the hospital, my parents and I visited him at home.Our parents discussed our wedding planning and the necessary steps to take.It was fixed to happen in 3months,"no more time to waste"....Aslam dad said.

finally,finally everything in my world is perfect.I'm happy I will be getting married just a week after my passing our parade,end of Youth service.
Aslam and I had a long talk,I apologized and he eagerly forgave me for it and all made loose was tied again.He promised he would come and see me for the wedding preparations once yaji kwarin jikin shi.

I can hardly believe this is happening.I can't hardly believe this is true.

TEARS OF BETRAYAL Episode 16

I kept smiling like an idiot as I watched the clock tick."Two hours more"......I said as I felt two hours sounding like forever to come.

After Isha prayer,I put on my Hijab and sat by my bed side waiting for Aslam's call.The call came in even before I could get the thought off my mind...."I'm coming,naji horn dinka"... I said immediately I picked the call.

I went outside all smiley and happy.I saw Aslam coming out of his car and he has never looked more gorgeous, just like an ango.I have always told him he looks great in White,probably explains why he wore white caftan,black cap and white royal like palm...."omg,he looks so damn good"....I said to myself.

"Afnan dina,kinga nazo da wuri koh?I could hardly wait 8pm tayi.".....he said with the cutest smile I have ever seen....."Allah koh?....I said sarcastically...."zaka Dade kana jira"....I added with a totally brutal looking face....."What's wrong with you?1 minute you were smiling and now you are sounding kamar zaki kashe ni".....Aslam said looking terrified....."What did you think?You ll get away with what you did?..... I said outrageously...."Afnan I can explain,just listen to me.You know I ll never hurt you intentional.Just let me explain myself".....Aslam said almost grabbing the side of my Hijab......"Explain what? the fact that you didn't call me for a month?Or the fact that you almost left me for your so called arranged marriage if I were not your father's best friend's daughter.What were you thinking? That zaka zo kamun dadin baki and all will be forgiven???".....I said with so much anger in my voice.......

"Afnan wallahi ba haka bane,da kin nutsu kin saurare ni then maybe zaki gan....."Aslam stopped as I interrupted his speech....."zan gane me?You want me to sit here and let you sweet talk me?The only thing zan gane is leave this house and never come back,you have done enough damage to me already,I don't care about you,or any karyan explaination da zaka kawo mun.And maganar aure tsakanina da kai better forget it, It won't and can't happen, dah in auri mayaudari kamar ka gara in mutu a budurwa".....I said and started heading for cikin gida...."Afnan please kar ki guje ni"....Aslam said blocking my way and kneeling to the ground....."Kar ka kara tare mun hanya,don't make me hate you any more than I do already".....I said na bangaje shi na shiga cikin gida.

I have no idea when he left,he sat in his car for over 30mins and  then drove out of our house.I have never been more pissed off in my life.Aslam betrayed the trust I had in him.All I can think about is,what if ni bah Yar aminin mahaifinshi bace?that's how he would have betrayed me...I finished boiling inside and made my way to bed when Meenal came in without knocking....."Lafiya kika shigo a zabure?...... I asked Meenal......"Afnan Allah yayi wah Aslam rasuwa, yanxu naji Abba  yana fada wah umma a parlor.

I could not contain the message in my system, I just couldn't help it,I fell to the ground and blacked out.

TEARS OF BETRAYAL Episode 15

I looked up and everyone was gazing down at me.All I wanted wad to see Aslam.Did I see a ghost,is it a look alike or is it really My Aslam.

"Afnan me ya faru,you just fainted all of a sudden"....Abba said looking concerned...."She fainted sabida ni"...Aslam said and everyone turned to look at him....."Sabida me"....Umma Asked...

"It's a long story,Afnan bata zaci zata ganni anan bah.Shiyasa"...Aslam said with a gentle man's tone and soft tears between his eyes as I kept looking at me,laying on the chair..."Meke faruwa ne?Kasan ta ne?I thought Baku taba haduwa sai yau"....Aslam's mum asked....

"Na Dade da sanin Afnan,Akwae wani hutu da nazo Nigeria,lokacin da Hajiyan su Daddy bata da lafiya.I met Afnan a lokacin.She was in SS3 a lokacin taje gidan su Khairat,cousin dinta.I asked Khairat for Afnan's number and bayan wasu kwanaki na kira Afnan.Since then Muke mutunci har sai da ta samu Admission ta fara Jami'a na fada mata ina San ta,since then Muke tare"......Aslam said finally.

"Dama kaine Aslam din da take magana? Amma how come baka taba zuwa gidan nan bah mun hadu"....Abba asked looking confused..

"Gaskiya it's been long nazo Nigeria last.All my life a London nayi kusan komae .Basic school, high school and college.Afnan is the reason nake zuwa Nigeria after every two years.And the first time nazo gidan nan lokacin Afnan ke fada mun iyayen ta sun tafi Hajji, so I heard grandma tana zauna da su zuwa when zaku dawo daga Makkah.Na koma London da sati daya kuka dawo,so I didn't get to meet you.I came back wani time but she was in school at the time and I saw her at school twice kafin na koma London. The subsequent time kuma dana sake zuwa Afnan take ce mun ai iyayen ta Abuja suke aiki,so acen kuke da zama.Only ita da Meenal ne da kaka ne anan..."He said so fast and started gasping for breath.

"Ikon Allah,Allah hakeem.I never knew Aslam din da Afnan take nufi is the same Abubakar naka"....Abba said to Aslam's father......"Alh Yaseer kasan dole Baza ka gane bah,kowa da Abubakar yasan Aslam,sabida Abubakar sunan mahaifi nane shiyasa muke ce mishi Aslam,kuma da Abubakar mutane da yawa suka san shi ba da Aslam bah,shiyasa".....Aslam's dad said.
Our parents were over joyed."Faduwa tazo daidai da zama"... his dad said.They talked about us and alot of other things for hours before Aslam and his parents finally left.

I laid on my bed and thought about all the things that had happened as I smiled joyously like a crazy person.
Both families were so glad everything turned out the way they did.Finally I had my Aslam back.My Aslam is finally back to me.

"Afnan,Aslam ya kira wayar ki a kashe, here take my phone,he said he will call you in the next 5minutes."....Meenal said and left the room.

I waited eagerly for 5mins to come so I will hear his voice.I couldn't talk to him alone earlier on because our parents were there.

The phone started ringing and my heart skipped a bit,omg, it's Aslam.I picked after waiting for it ring for a few seconds.

"Hello"...I said and kept quiet..."Afnan I can't begin to explain to you what happened and how truly sorry I am,I just want you to know that.......he kept saying as I interrupted him..."calm down mallam"....I said teasingly...... "I can't calm down sai kince kin yafe mun"...he said sympathetically....."You are asking me for forgiveness on phone?Gaskiya bazan iya bah,ni fah I hate you, banma San why I'm taking to you bah".....I said with a laugh...."Hahahahahha you can't hate me, anjuma I ll come and see you after sallar Isha."...he said over excited........."Toh, Allah yasa I ll be in the mood to see you"....I said jokingly....."You will definitely be because it's me,your Aslam.".....ha said with a laugh and we said goodbyes.

I kept smiling like an idiot as I watched the clock tick."Two hours more"....I said as I felt two hours sounding like forever to come.

TEARS OF BETRAYAL Episode 14

TEARS OF BETRAYAL Episode 14

I woke up after the little sleep I was able to get.I was crossing my fingers to what today would bring to me.I squeezed my eyes to wipe away the little tears in my eyes as I search for my phone to switch it all and check the time.

I dropped the phone on the bed almost immediately on the bed and the phone started buzzing,indicating a new message.I picked the phone and read through the lines of the text message:

"Hey,been calling you all night and your phone has been off,it's been off all night.I have been calling all night with no success of getting through to you,I need to talk to you.call me ASAP....Aslam"....

I could hardly believe my eyes.Why?Why now? I said to myself unable to control my tears.I picked up the phone and threw it across the mirror as I watch both the mirror and the phone shatter into pieces."It's too late,you are late,it's too late"...I kept saying to myself with tears all over myself.

I cried my sorrows out for the next one hour before I finally got my self together and went into the bathroom...."Afnan kiyi sauri,ki fito, it's almost 11am the visitor will be here any minute"...umma called out from outside the bathroom.

I got ready and sat by my bedside,gazing into nothing In particular as I tried to keep my eyes dry...."Afnan kizo bakin sunzo"...Meenal said..."Tohm"...Was all I could voice out..."Amma you are changing koh,ba da wannan Hijabin zaki fita bah"...Meenal asked...."Mene da Hijabin?"....I asked..."nothing,let's just go everyone is waiting"....Meenal said and led the way to our huge parlor.

"Sallam alaikum"....I said as I entered without looking at anybody's face.I couldn't bring my self to look at the people who are about to get me married to the person I may never love....."ina kwanan ku I added"...."Ina gajiya they all answered sounding happy.

I sat down without a word after that and without looking at anybody,I dont  even want to look at anybody because I honestly don't care.I was lost in my thoughts until Alhaji Mustapha started talking...."Afnan I have known you tun kina karama, even though my family and I stay in the UK I have always been aminin mahaifinki tun muna wasan kasa.Lokaci yayi da zan yima dana aure and I figured there's no better bride for my son facce ke,but I'm like a father to you,indai dana bai miki bah koh bakuyi mah Junan ku bah sai mu hakura,I wouldn't want abunda zaije ya dawo ya bata mana jumuncin mu"....Alh Mustapha concluded..."Hakane"....Abba said....."Afnan lafiya,kin sunkwi da kai,ki dago fuskarki mana,mu fah ba baki bane....Alh Mustapha 's wife said.

"This people sound like really nice people, why am I punishing myself and being frustrated over a guy whom it took Three weeks to contact me,it's time I let go and just welcome this people with open arms".....I said to myself.

I rose my to look at the people around me.I looked at Alh Mustapha and his wife and they threw sincerely happy glances at me,my mum and dad looked extremely happy.I tried looking at Alh Mustapha son Amma tsoro ya kama ni, "what if bazan taba son shi bah,I said to myself.What ever happens happens"...I said to myself and looked straight at him and this moment is the most shocking moment of my life.I stood up with a fright, screaming ASLAM ,and then everything went blank as I collapsed on the floor.

TEARS OF BETRAYAL Episode 13

TEARS OF BETRAYAL Episode 13

Yadda naga dare haka na ga rana for the past seven days.
I can't keep my eyes dry.I have still not heard any word from Aslam and his thoughts have been driving me crazy.I can't call him anymore, I have called more than a hundred times and still not reachable,sent dozens of messages and none of them was replied.I have no choice but to let go because I have ran out of time already.

Bayan sallah Magrib, I didn't even wait for Abba to call him,I headed towards his room to tell him I'm willing to accept his decision.Aslam ya yaudare ni and there's nothing I can do about it.He's had better not call me after today,because it will be too late.No matter what happens, my parents' choice of a Husband for me can never be wrong or go wrong.

"Yes,shigo"....I heard Abba saying after I knocked on the door of his parlor..."Abba dama I came to tell you na amince da kowane hukunci ka yanke Akan Aslam and na amince da who ever you choose for me as a Husband "....I concluded honestly.I felt relieved after saying all those words because of the so much hatred I was feeling in my heart for Aslam...."Toh shikenan Afnan,Allah yayi miki albarka"....Abba said and without uttering a word I stood up and left.

I went back to my bedroom and buried my face in my pillow and cried my eyes out.I could literally hear my chest pounding hard in my chest.Amidst all the hatred I felt for Aslam and Yusrah,I couldn't blame Yusra anymore.
She was right,namiji ba dan goyo bane,after 7 years of a relationship, who would have thought Aslam would do this to me.

I stood up,performed Ablution and I laid my sallaya to pray.This is my destiny I have to embrace it I said to myself.I have no choice but to live by my parents decision.Maybe Aslam isn't meant to be my husband.Maybe God has chosen someone better for me.Just may be.

******************************
THREE DAYS LATER.

"Afnan"....umma called me out of no where while approaching me...."Naam umma"....I said watching her sit near me...."Abban ku Gama da magana da Alhaji Mustapha,ya yanke shawara zai hada ki da babban Dan Alh Mustapha.His son is intelligent, ambitious, decent and will make a very fine husband.Abban ki yace in sanar dake, they will be coming gobe da shi da Dan nasa, ku gana,get to know eachother and then sai a tsayar da magana.".....umma said a little bit excited..."Toh Umma, Allah ya kaimu goben"....I said and stood up na tafi dakina.

I wanted so badly to cry but I just couldn't.I decided inyi Alwala inyi Sallah it's a better way for me to grief than to cry.
All night I watched my phone,hoping it will ring,hoping I will get a call from Aslam,but it didn't ring and there was no message either.I turned off my phone and went to bed,even if he called,it'd be too late.It's too late,Way too late.

TEARS OF BETRAYAL Episode 12

TEARS OF BETRAYAL Episode 12

I tried not to think of the event that had happened three weeks ago.I'm a lot of things but I'm not week.Inada saurin kuka Amma kuma Inada dauria.
I tried not to think so much about the event that happened at Yusrah's house,it thought me a lesson or two,however that is the least of my concerns now.

Aslam has not called me in two weeks and I have been trying to reach through to him,but na kasa.Each time I call him phone, it goes into voice or unreachable, what could be wrong?.

"Afnan kizo Abba na kiranki"...Meenal said to me opening and closing the door of my room almost immediately without even waiting for me to answer.

I went to the parlor and I saw Abba and umma sitting down and I felt terrified, what could be wrong.I was too overwhelmed with fear and I started walking like I had seen a ghost.

"sit down mana,you look scared,tsoron me kike ji".....Abba asked with a little smile on his face.
I saw down and was waiting for the unforeseen bomb to drop.

"Afnan wata magana mukai da Umman ki and we want to talk to you about it,Afnan wato ita Rayuwa it doesn't usually come yadda muke so,sometimes God chooses for us while at other times he gives us the choice in our hands,koh ba haka bah"....Abba said...."Hakane Abba"....I said still waiting to hear the rest...."Yauwa,kinga we are your parents, kin Gama school over a year ago,kin fara service and now you're almost done mah,bazae yuyu mu zuba miki ido bah,ya batun aure?"...he asked.

For that moment I wished the ground would open up and swallow me,my mouth went dry,and I felt like I had the urgent need to use the toilet, because I felt like my intestine was melting...
"Abba kasan shi komae lokacine,and kasan da maganar Aslam and.....
"...he cut me just at that point "maganar Aslam is between ke da shi,ba wani formal magana tsakani na da iyayenshi".....Abba said now being fatherly and tough..."Eh Abba I know, kasan yana Malaysia yana Master's Amma he's almost done,In sha Allah I ll tell him to tell his parents azo a yi magana"....I said unsure if I had said the right thing...."ato ya dai kamata, kince he's almost done, na baki one week,ki gaya Masa ya turo manyan shi,in baiyi hakan ba zan dau mataki,because ni akwae wanda sukai mun magana,kuma duk mutanan arziki ne,In wanda kike so is not ready,sai ki kaddara haka Allah yaso ki rabu dashi ki bi Zabin mu"....he finally said.

Without a word na tashi na tafi daki.I called Aslam yet again and not reachable, I check Whatsapp and I was shocked to see he was last seen online just 25mins ago.I thought about talking to him,but I just couldn't.Why isn't he calling me,why is he not replying my messages,why????

In a week from now if nothing happens na shiga uku.All my life I have always wanted to marry someone I can love and respect as a Husband and Aslam has always been that person to me.Have I lost him to someone else? Ya yaudare ni kenan? Is All that waiting invain???

TEARS OF BETRAYAL Episode 11

TEARS OF BETRAYAL Episode 11

I got dressed and waited eagerly for Saudat's arrival.I was having mixed feelings about our trip to Yusrah's house.
Saudat arrived suka gaisa da umma and we got on our way to Lamido Crescent where Yusrah's house is located.

We arrived Yusrah's house about 30 minutes later,thank God yau bah hold up,the trip would have been longer.

Maybe Yusrah is still the same,may be she was too busy to call, may be I misjudged her,Maybe I said to myself.

We entered Yusra's house and the gate was opened for us.Yusrah's house is convenient atleast for an amarya.Most of the houses and residents of that part of the unguwa amare ne.
We knocked on the inner door and Yusra opened the door happily and hugged Saudat,she was too busy hugging Saudat that she didn't notice me at first.I could tell her facial expression change the instance da ta gan ni.

"Afnan,ashe tare kuka zo"....she said with the expression of someone who wasn't really happy to see me..."ku shigo"...she said.

We entered the sitting and she asked about Saudat's son Nidal and how Sameer was doing.
We started chatting about our old University days and our places of Youth service and our plans for the future,Law school,work and so on.For a while I forgot about the ups and downs between Yusra and I.

We were served drinks and kept gisting.Before we knew it,it was already an hour since we got there,it was 2pm and time to pray...."Muje muyi sallah koh"....Saudat said..."Eh gaskiya it's time for prayer kam"....I said with a little smile..."Afnan ga toilet nan ki shiga kiyi alwala"Yusra  said and got up ta dauko mun praying mat dah Hijab ta shinfida mun a parlor... I was happy ta dauko praying mat and Hijab and showed me toilet inyi Alwala while Saudat was sitting down,and for a while I said to myself,"that's the Yusra I know,the Yusra that cares. Just when I was about to enter the toilet, I heard her saying to Saudat "Muje ciki kiyi Alwala kiyi sallah"....I was drawn aback,I could not get my mind to focus on where I was heading,why will Yusra treat Saudat and I differently,aren't we all friends? Why will she take Saudat to her personal toilet and room to pray,while ni ta nuna mun guest toilet and ta shinfida min praying mat to pray in the parlor, why the special treatment for Saudat and not both of us.

I shoved the thought off my mind,and proceeded into the toilet for Alwala and na koma parlor nayi sallah.
I sat down after praying for over 10 minutes and they were still not back,so I decided to go and check up on them.
Just I approached the corridor I heard them talking a hankali,I'm not the type that eavesdrop or do lape and gulma,but I just had to.
"Amma nayi mamaki why you didn't tell Afnan you were back in kano,I could tell she was shocked when I told her you have moved back to kano, even though bata fada mun"....Saudat said...."ina sane naqi fada mata,you know yan matan yanzu sai a slow,kana zaune da mijin ka azo ayi Maka snatching har gida,shiyasa.I'm trying to protect mijina daga sharrin yan mata".....Yusra said with an affirmative note...."but you know Afnan is not like that,you know bazata taba cin amanar ki bah,haba,kin fini sanin halin ta,you should have known better".....Saudat said with concern..."ke bari,you know friends of these days,you can never trust anyone.Haka kawai ina zaman lafiya da mijina a zo a kwace mun shi,I value my marriage more than any friendship,yanxu mah I wasn't happy da naga kin zo da ita,I didn't even want her to know I moved back here,not to talk of mah knowing my house"....Yusra concluded...

My ears could no longer take more,so I went back to the parlor and fought back my tears.It took them another 10 minutes before they came back to the parlor.
"sorry mun Dade".....Yusra said...."bakomai"..i said pretending not to have not heard anything....
We talked for a while more but I kept quiet most of the time na zuba musu ido...

They started talking about marriage stuff and each time na saka baki Yusra says "you won't understand, it's married people stuff.
She did that three or four different times,telling me bazan gane bah,my patience was drying up and I kept quiet completely ban kara saka musu baki bah.

Out of no where I heard Yusra calling me.."Afnan"....tunanin me kikeyi ne Haka"....she asked...."Bakomai"....I replied. "Su Afnan an qi ayi aure,kin zauna jiran Aslam,guys can't be trusted fah,gara ki nemi miji kiyi aure.You are 24 and har yanzu ba amo ba labari, wannan yawon zuwa gidan married friends fah is not advisable"....Yusra concluded...

I could not utter a word, my mouth felted dried up.All I saw were clouds of tears forming in my eyes..."Kai Yusra,that's very harsh,you can't just say what ever pops up a zuciyar ki"....Saudat said shouting at Yusra..."Bakomai, rayuwa ce.It's life, people change.ki kyale ta Saudat, dole ta fada mun haka because she's married and I'm not.I thought  ke kawata ce,but I guess aure yayi changing dinki, Allah da ya nuna miki bikin ki,zai nuna mun nawa.And as for waiting for Aslam I ll wait for as long as I have to and ba ruwanki da ko ya yaudare ni koh baiyi bah.I was there for you through out school, through every break up,Amma ni dana ke da bukatar ki kwantar mun da hankalin,kece me cewa naqi nayi aure,nagode.".....I said with tears in my eyes and left the house.

Saudat came running after me,and Yusrah kuma koh ajinkinta, tayi hakan ne dan ta yanke friendship dinmu Dan kar in kara zuwa gidan ta because tana tunanin zan iya kwace mata miji.

Saudat comforted me and tayi mun Nasiha kan cewa,dole In lokacina na aure Yazo inyi.And 24 ae is stil ok,ki kyale Yusra Only God knows meke damunta."....Saudat said.

Saudat dropped me home and I went inside the house with red eyes.
I met my cousin's Meenal and Khairat sitting in the sitting room and I couldn't tell them what exactly happened. Life is indeed full of lessons and surprises,all along I thought Yusra was my true friend, I guess Saudat is the true friend after all.
