Hajiya azumi nearly fell down after hearing what juwairiyyah just said. How could this be?
"Arfaat did what? Did you just said Arfaat r***d you?" Asked her dad tears rolling Down from his eyes.
"Na shiga uku ni azumi (I am dommed!), Arfaat why? Why did you have to do something like this? Arfaat why???"
Her mom just stood there shocked, hoping that what she just heard should be a dream and not the truth .
"Take her inside and attend to her, hurry up i need to take her to the hospital". Said her dad.
Hajiya raliya broke into tears and dragged Juwairiyyah out of the sitting room into her own room. Soffie trailed behind them but was stopped by Alhaji Abbas.
"How did you find her?"
"She called me crying and told me she's together with Arfaat and that...that he r***d her."
"Wait here mom, i can take care of myself". She said to her mom as soon as they are in her room, freeing herself from her mother's grip and heading to the bathroom.
As soon as she closed the door behind her, she quickly put on the tap in the bathing tub before she burst out laughing. The only thing she wants now is to see arfaat's face when he learns about her plans. She could imagine him denying that he didn't do it!.
"Poor big bro, you won't dare lay your hands on another lady again" she said laughing wickedly before getting into the bathing tub.
"Where is she? Let's go to the hospital, i want to be sure she is alright."
She said she's alright and doesn't want to be taken to the hospital so she can preserve her dignity." Hajiya Raliya replied.
"I agree with her dad. She'll just be a topic of discussion throughout this town, let her be for some time before we take the next move" Soffie said.
"Let her be please, i can take Care of her in our own ways". Said Hajiya Azumi.
"I have to go to and see arfaat's family, if she can just direct me to the house, or preferably lets all go together".
"She's fast asleep now, i gave her sleeping pills. Lets wait for her to wake up first". Replied her mom.
"Amma wannan yaro, wannan yaro ya cuce mu. Look how innocent he look, ashe he's capable of something like this? Amma Allah ya isa tsakanina da shi". Hajiya Azumi lamented in tears.

"Mama, let me go check on Juwairiyyah, someone just called me using her phone claiming that they had an accident."
"All shall be well son, regards to Hajiya Azumi please".
"Sure mom, take care please. Oh i almost forgot, would you mind cooking tuwo miyan kuka today please??".
"What?! Heck No Mama. Please No" Khadeejah said stubbornly.
"Everyone will get to eat what he wants. Get going son."
"Thank you Mama."
Arfaat couldn't get to Alhaji Abbas Mansion quickly due to traffic

Alhaji Abbas couldn't stop the tears that were gushing from his eyes, how could Arfaat do a thing like that? He had trusted the boy alot and was even thinking of giving him a new position at the engineer's site.
"Kayi haquri Abbas, cuta ce an riga an mana (Sorry Abbas, the deed had already been done), God will punish him". Hajiya azumi said hugging her son tight.
"Mama, how could Arfaat stoop this low? How could he do something as terrible as this? How could he mama? How could he???"
"Yi shiru hakanan (keep quite please), akwai Allah(there's God), lets just pray she's not pregnant" Said Hajiya Azumi.
"Preg what? That can't b.......". His voice trailed off as he heard Arfaat's voice saying the sallamah.
Alhaji Abbas freed himself from his mum's grip and went straight to Arfaat who is trying to come into the living room.
Out of nowhere, Arfaat heard multiple slaps on his face.
"How dare you Arfaat, how could you do a thing like that? What is it you want from us? It would have been better if you stole all the money i have than what you did you imbecile!". Alhaji Abbas shouted gripping Arfaat so tight by the neck.
Arfaat stood there dumbfounded, what is Alhaji Abbas talking about?
"Alhaji, easy please but i dont think i know what you're talking about. If you could please explain in details". Said Arfaat trying to relieve himself from the grip of Alhaji Abbas.
Alhaji Abbas gave him a dirty blow which took him by suprise, and before he could regain his senses Hajiya Azumi has gave him another two hot slaps.
"Amma uwarka tayi asaran haihuwa Arfaat (your mother wasted her life giving birth to someone like you Arfaat), a tunaninka bazata fada mana abunda ka mata bane?(You thought she won't tell us what you did?) You still had the guts to walk into this house? What type of person are you Arfaat?" Hajiya Azumi bellowed angrily.
"Hajiya, tell me what is happening here please!". Arfaat pleaded.
"You are really something Arfaat, after r****g my daughter, you still act like you don't know what you did right? Well you're going to spend the rest of your life in jail you son of a b***h!"
Arfaat stood there bewildered, what is this happening? Did he just heard Alhaji Abbas right? r***d juwairiyyah? Where could they have got a silly story like this?.
"Alhaji, i don't know what you are talking about..raped juwairiyyah as how?? I thought she had an accident?"
"Yes yaa Arfaat! I told them what you did to me. Or are you still gonna act like you don't know what am talking about?" Juwairiyyah spoke behind him, coming out with the help of her mom and Soffie.
"Noo juwairiyyah, you must be joking, look at me well please maybe you are in shock..its me....your Yaa Arfaat lily. Tell them am not the one please!"
