Chapter 69

Maryam's POV

I and my husband are here in the police station waiting for Safeenah to come out. Kareem has talked to his friend and now she will be released. She came out and the moment her face came in contact with us most especially my husband, you could see the hatred clearly written on her face

I told Kareem about what she told me few weeks ago and Kareem was so surprised but we decide to confront her and hear the truth from her today, to know the reason why she hate my husband so much

"Look who we have here" she mockingly said

"The beast and the queen of the beast" she smirk

It is clearly seen on her face that she didn't regret all her actions

"What has come over you Safeenah? Why are you like this? You aren't like this before " Kareem said. His voice shows that he's hurt and also disappointed in her at the same time

"Are you seriously asking me? Do you really want to know? Do you want to know the truth? Fine! I'll tell you!"

"I never for once love you Kareem Abdulazeez!"

"What?"

"Yes Beast! I never love you! in fact I hate you! I despise you! I wish I could kill you!" She yell at the tip of her longue

From her eyes one could tell that she's hurting,but why?

"You...you never like me?" Kareem asked confused

"Yes I never did! Haven't you for once wonder why you were drunk two years back? And why was Hafsa with you? Didn't you?"

"I did it! I did it Kareem! I was the one who asked her to drug you! When I was at the verge of completing my plan on you,your stupid mother showed up and-"

"SHUT Up!! Don't you dare! I repeat don't you dare utter bad word about my mom, I'm warning you Safeenah" Kareem said with all rage in him

"Why? Do you feel bad?! Do you feel bad that I called your Mom stupid?! Huh?!!"

"Safeenah!

"Shut up!" She yells too

"She came and ruined my plan by bringing this witch into your life! She destroy my all plan, this witch did!"

I?

What have I done?

"You deserve an horrible death! You deserve hell and when I was coming to the end of my plan, she showed up and ruin it for me!"

"And your stupid Mom? She only told me to leave you because she was the only person who knows the real me! she offered me money which I gladly took in order to help my self. I went out of the country to rebuild a strategy on how to destroy you! And Hafsa? She's my spy under you! she told me everything going on in your life!"

"I was going to show my self to you but she told me that you've becoming to start having feelings for this witch! So what next? I had to take another plan! I had to and instead I came back to Nigeria my self,I started monitoring this witch movement! I learnt that she's also madly in love with you so I use that opportunity to cause a clash between you two. Luckily for me, she left for your office that day and I told Hafsa to drug you and continue as we planned"

"The idiot came and all she could think of is that you were cheating on her when in fact nothing happened between you and Hafsa"

"She left and I was so happy,I decide to show my self finally but the idiot of you can't live without her and you had the gut to bring her back. I had no other choice than to finally show my self,I thought it will be easy for me to carry out my plan in your house but this witch always ruin it for me!"

"Do you know the reason for the hatred between you and Mansur?"

"Mansur? Subhanallah! Why is Mansur in this topic?" I thought

And he, him self have not been picking my calls,I know I really did hurt him but I only hope someday he will forgive me

"Don't you want to know who caused the hatred between you two? " she smirk

"You did"

"Smart boy!...... I did...I did it! And I won't stop Kareem Abdulazeez! I will make sure you regret knowing me,I promise you!"

"Why?! Why?! Why did you hate me this much?! Why?! Just why?!"

"You really want to know? Are you that eager to know?!"

She laugh wickedly before she replies him "that's for me to know and for you to find out"

"I'll leave now but I'll be back soon....." She said as she was about to leave but she stopped and turn to us

"Ahhh I heard that you're pregnant Maryam....congratulations,but you should always watch your back" she said and left

We looked at her back till we were not able to spot her anymore

"Kareem-"

"Maryam please not now...let  go home" he said softly. I understand him,I understand what he's going through so I only nod as we both leave for home

****One week Later****

We are happy,everyone is happy. Thank goodness my husband has stopped his moody behaviour, ever since the day went to meet Safeenah he has been acting strange and Alhamdulillah he's now back to his senses

"So Maryam what do you suggest that we do now?" Kareemah asked me. Right now she and Mufeedah are in my house

"I think we should give him a surprise party,or what do you both think?"

In next week is Khalid's birthday,and his crazy wife has been pestering our lives to help her out

"Yes Kareemah I think Maryam is right....but where do we organise it?"

"Of course her house" I said pointing my index finger at her

"But he'll know what is going on"

I slapped my forehead gently "gosh! you two are just so stupid,you know nothing" I glared at them

"It simple,we will tell our husband's that we want girls time and we will like to come stay with you for four days so they will stay at either my house or Mufeedah house,also we make sure they agrees,once they said yes, the plan will start.... As simple as ABC"

"Wow! Brilliant"

"Yeah I know right?" I replied rolling my eyes

"So sis how does it feel to be a preggy?"

"It felt good" I said blushing

"What??" They both asked looking at me like I've just murdered a person

"What happened? Why are you both staring as if you've seen a ghost?"

"Did you just said it felt good?"

"Yes why?"

"Aren't you feeling back pain,or sometimes you feel like always spiting or vomiting? " Mufeedah asked with her right hand waving from right to left

"No? The last time I vomited was when I fainted and that was when we discovered that I'm pregnant "

"Okay okay...what about craving for foods,at a time you will feel like eating something something spicy and another time you will feel like taking something good...what about this?"

"Never tried all this that you are saying,I eat my normal food and also eat whatever I feel like eating. No craving..nothing Nothing"

"Wow!" Kareemah said smiling

"Are you sure this girl is pregnant? "

"Yes Mufeedah, in fact four weeks pregnant"

"I doubt it" she replied shaking her head

"OK enough with your question! Let get back to what we were discussing"

"But-"

Shushhh" I shut her up and she only pout

*****

"Erm Kareem I need to pick this call" I said trying to show him my best smile

"And why can't you pick it here?"

"Erm....you know...erm...."

"It fine you can go"

"Thank you baby"

I entered the bathroom as I quickly swipe to answer the call

"Hello" I whispered

"Yes ....yes hello Maryam"

"Hey Kareemah...how far? Did he agreed?"

"No!" She yell

"What?"

"What about you? did he?"

"Same here too....have you called Mufeedah? " I asked her still whispering

"Yes...same thing, Faruq never agrees to it"

"I think we should try and do that tonight so we could start the preparation as soon as possible,we really have to plan this"

"Yes yes....OK bye"

"Wait!" I half yelled

"What?"

"Will you call Mufeedah or I should call her?"

"I think I'll do that... OK bye"

"Bye"

I hang up and sigh before walking back to the room. Kareem was so engross in his phone that he doesn't know that I'm standing in front of him. I really don't know what he's up to this days,his phone is now his best friend, he smile a lot now whenever he's pressing it. Why do I feel like he's talking to a lady

"Erm Kareem?"

"Huh?" He answered with surprise that I'm that closer to him, he then quickly locked his phone

I knew it! I knew he was up to something

"Who was that?"

"Who was who?"

"That?"

Nobody,just a business partner...you need to get some rest you know"

"OK " I said

"I'll.. I'll just go use the bathroom" he said

Kareem never stuttered. It's said that when ever your husband started twitching his face if he's talking to you or stuttering at times or probably acting more caring than before that means he's cheating on you. Hmmmm I see... something is really fishy

I took his phone and unlock it,I knew his password so it wasn't hard for me. I went to his messages and saw her name FATIMA . My eyes almost purge out from my face. Could Kareem be cheating on me?

I entered their message and read it

Hi baby

Hi Kareem

What can I do without you baby...thank you so much I really love it

You did? I'm so happy that you did. There's nothing I can't do to make sure I satisfy

Yes baby I'm really satisfy with it and I don't think I'll choose any other person than you

You mean it?

Yes...thank you Fatima once again

But don't you think your wife suppose to know about it? Some woman don't like what you're trying to do...you know that

No I want her to be surprise when she find out about it

OK then if you say so

Already tears are slipping from my eyes down to my cheeks. Could Kareem be cheating on me? I don't want to make My self sad more and more so instead I stopped reading further,I've read enough

"Are you asleep?" I heard him say, I quickly drop his phone but unfortunately when he left for the bathroom his phone was on the table and now I left it on the bed

I pretend as if I'm looking for something when he came and pick up his phone

"Maryam" he called sternly

Subhanallah! I'm dead!

"Maryam" he called again with that his scary voice

"Erm...yes Kareem? You need something? " I tried to pretend

"Did you touch my phone?"

"What? no... no I didn't " I said smiling nervously

"I will ask you for the last time,did you touch my phone?"

Finally I gave in"Yes I did" I said more like a whisper

"Why?"

"I...I want...I-"

"Why the fuck did you touch my phone? Have I ever touch your phone before?"

Why was he raising his voice at me? He's the one at fault so why was he this angry?

"Maryam I just asked you a question?!"

"Why? Why are you so worried? Or probably angry? Are you that angry Mr Kareem Abdulazeez? Are you angry that I find out about your new girlfriend?"

"Girlfriend? " he asked looking confused

"Why are you so surprised? Don't you know your girlfriend Fatima again? You just speak to her this evening, so why pretending?"

"Maryam I-"

"Please spare me Kareem! I really hate you! How could you do this to me? You made me believe that I'm the only woman you love in your life but actually you love someone else,was this marriage a game to you?"

"Maryam I can-"

"I can't stand you right now Kareem! I...hate...you" I said and walk out from the room. I slammed the door so hard that even I was surprised by my actions

I need to go to Mufeedah or Kareemah's place,I can't stay in this house tonight,I don't know what will happen if I do

Thank God it's not that dark,this is just past seven in the evening, I can still make it to Kareemah's house before 8:00pm

I called Kareemah and told her I'll be in her house in few minutes. She was so confused coz she keeps begging me to tell her what happened, but I told her I'll explain when I reach there

Just as i was about to stop a cab,from no where I felt something hard on my head and immediately darkness took over me.
