Aishah
HALIMAT RAN OUT of the sitting room meeting her dad at the compound,the man came with five cars,two police car with one at the front and the other at the back,three black SUV and he came down from the middle one,he was wearing a brown caftan and his cap slightly bending on his head,he hug his daughter and she chuckled looking like she had found her God
Of course she did
They started walking towards the house with the escort but the man stopped telling them something before they stood still while Halimat and her dad walk into the house,I glance at my mom who was sitting at the dinning table ignorant of what's going on and a sudden wave of regrets wash through me
I should have warn her before hand
Qadirah was sitting beside my mom with her hands shaking and I can understand how she feels,it's not easy to see the devil you once buried back into your life,I sat with Ibrahim who was fuming,it felt like he's not in support of what's going on
The door suddenly opened revealing Halimat and her dad as they stepped into the sitting room, Ibrahim's father stood up and went to shake the man,they exchanged pleasantries before heading to the dinning room, Ibrahim's mom greeted him too so do Ibrahim before he sat on the chair his daughter pulled out for him
My mother's attention on the dinning room suddenly peaked and she look over to see the new man who came,her eyes landed on him and her eyes shot open like she had seen a ghost,she quickly glance at my sister who had her head hung down with shaky hands she kept on her laps
Her eyes landed on me and I gave her the look that she should calm her down,she look away and I can feel the tension growing in the dinning room
"Congratulations Ibrahim Junior"the man said laughing,his voice was as thick as I remembered "how is your baby?"he asked
"Alhamdulillah she's fine and in her room"Ibrahim answered and the man nodded
Halimat stood up and started serving the food and I let her do it alone,I'm not in the right state of mind to do serve food
"Where's your first wife?"the man asked and Ibrahim closed his eyes briefly before opening them
"This is her Aishah"he said looking at me
"Aishah!"the man said looking at me and I internally prayed he doesn't remember me "oh Aishah the fierce one"he chuckles "you're already a grown up"he said taking a spoon from his food,Qadirah looked at me with fears written in her eyes and I gave her an assuring smile
"Where's that beautiful sister of yours,I miss her"he said and my sister look like she's about to faint when Halimat interrupted
"Dad you know them?"she asked surprised
"Of course darling,we had a long past don't we darling"he said looking at me but I choose not to answer,Ibrahim gave me a questioning look and I frown at him
"Qadirah!"the man suddenly said laughing like a maniac he is after spotting my sister "I didn't know you're sitting here how have you been,I really missed you though"he says and my sister grip her spoon harder,she ignored him and started eating her food
