After 3 days

Life has not been good for all the family, especially deedat and Amatullah. Everyone is depressed, Deedat has not been able to sleep for 3 days now, he's always either praying or at the police station. "We have not been able to find her today, and there's no information about her, but don't worry we'll try all our possible best to find her" that's always the police words, and they couldn't find her phone so they could trace the number that called her. nobody has any idea of where she could be, she doesn't have any enemy, then who could that person be? Whoever the person is deedat won't take it easy on him....

He folded his prayer mat after he finished praying subh, his eyes red and his hair and beards are rough. He also lose weight within this 3 days, he doesn't eat nor bathe. His dark cycles underneath his eyes are visible and he became more darker.

He picked his call and stared at his wallpaper and smiled helplessly.she was sitting on his lap smiling widely at him with icing on the tip of her nose.

He touched the screen tracing her features and a tear made it way to his cheeks still smiling. He sniffed and locked the phone before putting it inside his pocket.

He walked to the bathroom, wash his face and he managed to brush his teeth before walking to her closet.

He pulled out her favorite pjs that she wore the night before her birthday. He sniffed the shirt remembering what happened that morning, the kiss they shared, how she called him shouting at him that she missed him, the expression on her face when she saw the surprise birthday party and the time she said she was going out to answer the call, that call OMG...... he busted out into a new series of tears before falling on the ground clinching the shirt tightly to his chest.

Why didn't I follow you that day, I'm so stupid, god dam it,I'm so stupid, why didn't I go with you, why didn't I reduce the volume of the music so you could answer your call close to me or even turn off the music, who the heck called you, who's behind this, why did I let you go, why? Why? Why?......

He kept shouting hitting his head with the wooden door in front of him blood gushing out of his forehead.

He cried for long before dashing into the toilet, he washed away the blood on his forehead and wrapped it around with bandage.

He skipped his way downstairs and turned on the lights. He looked around the living room smiling sadly just then he heard the doorbell. His breath hitched his heart jumping up and down.

He rushed to the door and opened it, his hope faded when he saw it was zuby.he managed to give her a small smile and ushered her in.

Where is she? He asked her hoping that she'll say she's inside the car.
She smiled sadly at him. I came here alone...she said.
Mama wanted me to check on you...she added with a small smile.

He huffed and brushed his hair with his fingers in frustration. He hates it when they treats him like a kid..I'm fine" he said barely like a whisper and stood up.

What happened to your head? She asked looking at the bandage...

Nothing..he answered her...
You sure? She asked giving him a pointed look.
He huffed and didn't say anything again.

Where are you going to? She asked again.
The police station... he replied walking towards the fridge. He grabbed a bottle water and gulped it down.

Have you eaten? She asked walking towards him.
I'm fine please zuby just go home, I can take care of myself...he gritted and walked towards the front door.

She knew what her brother was going through so she didn't bother asking him any question again. She knew it's too hard for him and she prays he'll find his happiness soon.

When you're done lock my door please and give the keys to the security man...he told her without looking back and walked out of the house.

Sir! His security man "malam audu called him running towards him.
Yes...he answered looking at him

Take...he handed him a phone.
I saw it since day before yesterday on the ground near your car and I always forget to give it to you...he added.

Gaskiya malam audu you must leave my house today...deedat said through gritted teeth looking at the well shattered iPhone X....

Alhaji menayi dan Allah ? Malam audu asked already panicking.

First, you allowed an unknown car to enter my house, you didn't know who the person was, you just allowed the car to enter and it's like you were blind, you didn't see the time they took away my wife and you still opened the gate for them to take her away from me.
And second, we have been looking for this phone for 3 days, there's any probability that we can trace the number that called her and we'll find her but you didn't give me the phone till today, is that not a solid reason why I should send you out of my house?? He shouted his veins nearly popping out..

Dan Allah alhaji I'm sorry, dan Allah, I have family and this is the only work I have, I have 3 wives and 15 children, please pity me alhaji.

I don't care...deedat shouted waving his hands up.
Even our prophet Muhammad (SAW) says that if you know you can't take care of one wife don't get married until you have the power, if you can't take care of 2 then marry one, if you can't take care of 3 then have 2, that's how it goes, so I don't fucking care, all I care is I want my wife back home, between my arms, do you know how I'm feeling, it pains me, it hurts...... he yelled and a tear made it way down to his cheeks.

Malam audu didn't know what to say next, he just stood there fiddling with his fingers.
Zuby stood immobile looking at her broken hearted brother as a tear made it way to her cheeks.

Deedat sniffed and wiped his face with the back of his hand.. I don't want to see you again, park your things and leave my house before I come back...he said and started walking towards his car.

On reaching the police station, deedat gave them Amatullah's phone and the police assured him everything will be fine, they'll try and trace the number and they'll find Amatullah within 24hours insha allah...
*******

Fatima, I've been asking you this question, please tell me,please I want to know why you're doing this to me...Amatullah cried out.

She laughed and adjusted her veil.
I think this is the right time to tell you.

Amatullah I hate you, i hate you, I hate everything about you, I have never loved you in my life. Do you know why we are friends, do you know why I became your friend? She asked looking straight into Amatullah's eye.

Amatullah was too shocked to even answer her question, she couldn't believe what she just heard, the person that she calls her friend, her only friend in her entire life, is the person saying all this things .

Because I love deedat, I can't live without deedat, I can die for deedat, I have never loved a person in my life like I love him. She said and Amatullah's eyes nearly popped out, her heart raising up and down. She couldn't believe her ears.

When we were in level one hundred, our first day at school, I saw him inside his car going out of the university, from that day, I couldn't think straight, he's always in my mind, I couldn't sleep peacefully, always thinking of him and appearing in my dreams. I asked my sister and she told me to talk to him or I should befriend his sister or someone close to him so that it would become easy for me.
On our second week, when we came out of the lecture hall, I saw him with you, I thought you were his sister, so from that day I made a metal note that you're going to be my friend, my best friend.
The first time I talked to him, I felt like I was out of the world, words couldn't explain how happy I was, but then something caught my attention, the way you guys were looking at each other but I over looked it and stayed happy that at least I'll got to be talking to him everyday.

Then everything was shattered, you shattered my dreams and my hopes when you told me he was your boyfriend and that you've been together since childhood,I couldn't sleep peacefully from that day, I'll always cry myself to sleep, I'll cry in the morning, afternoon,night and whenever I see you guys together, it hurts and I couldn't control myself. I tried all my possible best to stop your wedding but I couldn't, I was so happy when I heard that we had a car accident that means you guys aren't getting married again that's why I didn't went to check on you in the hospital, but then I was sad when I heard that deedat had leukemia, I almost lost hope but then you shattered me again when I heard you were still going to get married, I thought of all possible ways to brake your relationship but I came up with nothing, then later on my friend advised me to use this method of kidnapping you, and I'm glad it's working.....she finished with a sight.

Amatullah looked at her in disbelieve,she couldn't utter anything, she's speechless, so all this while fatima was after deedat, she isn't her real friend, she just used her so she could get what she wants. Tears started rushing out of her eyes as she looked fatima with so many things going around on her mind.

Stop crying baby, it's Qadr...fatima said smiling at Amatullah.
I think the only thing you have is this thing.... she said touching Amatullah's stomach. You guys are happy and expecting a happy ever after with your children right? You're just married for 3 months but you're already pregnant, don't worry I'll get rid of the pregnancy right now, then I'll know what my bevy step will be, to kill you or live you alive, because I must get deedat, get that into your thick head...she added and dialed a number on her phone.

No please..no please, please fatima...Amatullah cried out holding Fatima's legs.
Do anything to me but please don't touch this innocent child, don't do anything to my child please, I promise I can bare anything but please forget that I'm pregnant, this is my only happiness now, please, please..... she cried and broke down completely.

Fatima hissed and jerked her leg away before placing the phone to her ear.

Am I speaking with doctor dawud please ? She asked immediately he picked the call.

Yes...he answered through the other end.

Alright, I've sent my boy yesterday for some injections, can you send me the injections today please? She asked.

Yes I can, but you know if you know if you don't know how to use the one for abortion correctly it won't work right? He asked.

Yes I know doctor, don't worry, I know everything about abortion...she answered.

Abortion!!!!

Abortion..-.amatuallah whispered to herself.
That was the last thing she heard before blacking out....
