HIDDEN FEELINGS ( epd 14)
Hidden Feelings
Episode 14:
I couldn't stop thinking about the scenario that transpired in my friend's house. I sighed continously as I was dismayed... "Mahmoud loves me this much? I can't believe this! From the first day we met each other? SubhanaLlah! No wonder he shows faces everywhere or texts messages.. But why didn't he profess his feelings to me before now ? He's not courageous in one whit! Perhaps he's scared I might turn down his proposal. But why would I? Because I'm his boss? I'm I not a human being? I'm prone to love. I have feelings too. Even if I'll turn down his proposal it's not a new thing. A coward dies hundred times and a courageous one dies once.
So, if his grandmother did not voice out he would still keep punishing himself... Hmmm! That's his own cup of tea. Do I look like I care? After making me pass through hurdles.... Why did I even love him? How did that feelings get there? And what's so special about him? But to be sincere when he affirms his granny's utterings I feel loved. A part of me was furious because I've suffered too much because of him and my heart almost explode because of him. I was always looking for ways to fight that stupid feelings not knowing he loves me too. Another part of me was ecstatic because he loves me more than I do. Yes! I could sense it in his eyes. Those eyes looks teary and weary... This is my pay back time too. "I thought as a broad smile appeared on my face.
I was lost in thought as cool breezes blew gently inside the bus rustling my khimar on my way back to Lagos. I reminded myself that I was already married to Uthman. "What will happen now? Perhaps Mahmoud and I are never meant to be. Because I'm sure Uthman won't divorce me easily....." I soliloquized.
After some hours of traveling, I arrived home safely... Our security man jumped up out of felicitations.
"AlhamduliLlah! Anti is back oo, everyone come out oo, you're yet to see what I've seen." He screamed.
Hauwa, who was also spreading clothes on the line screamed on seeing me.
"Anti we've missed you so much... Welcome home." She hugged me.
The cheers for jubilations made by the two of them caught my mother's attention. As soon as she came outside the house she wrapped her arms around my neck with her trickling tears. Ummy almost strap me at her back. I called her the name my father used to call her when he was alive to assure her my memories had been restored.. Her joy knows no bound.... We went in and we had a lengthy conversation. I explained everything to my mother. The reasons why I left home, my encounter with the kidnappers, my meeting with Mahmoud's family and how the feelings he had for me was confessed... All this made Ummy...
