AMEERA

I drove back home after buying what I needed in the supermarket. Amir will be back later in the evening and I need to be done with dinner before he comes back. The gateman opened the door for me and I drove inside the compound. I park my car at the parking lot.

Oh shit, Amir is here already . His car is parked in the parking lot. Ya Allah please save me. I open the door and got inside the house.

I silently close the door because he was lying on the couch ,Maybe he is sleeping. I tiptoe to the kitchen like a thief not to wake him up.

" where do you think you are going"

Oh no, so he wasn't sleeping?

I quickly drop the items I was holding on the floor and walk back to the sitting room. " love, I didn't want to wake you up. I thought you were sleeping " I tried making my voice lively and now I'm regretting it coz the kind of glare Amir was shooting at me right now can make someone wet his pant.

" don't ever call me with that name again." Amir said through gritted teeth.

" I'm sorry"

" where are you coming from?" he inquired. " I went to get some things in the super market"

" you didn't tell me before going" he angrily said. " I'm sorry" I said.

Before I know it Amir was in my front in full speed. " don't ever tell me sorry again. I'm sick and tired of hearing that word from your mouth. I'm not falling for any of your tricks anymore. I saw you in the supermarket together with aminu one of my shareholder, are you sleeping with him too. Because I can see that you have no filter anymore, you go on a dates with guys when you're married to me" he roared out with so much hatred.

What is he talking about. I don't go on a date with random men. What is he saying,? He is the only man I have gone on a date with since I got married .

" please Amir, I don't know what you're trying to say but I swear their is nothing between Aminu and I. I didn't go to the supermarket with him, I met him there. Please believe me" I desperately want him to believe me

" I have had enough Ameera. I have come to my limit. Do you remember this day" he said showing me a picture in his phone.

It a picture of Faisal and I smiling. It look like two lover smiling at each other but I swear it isn't at it seems.

" you told me that day that you were at home but instead you were with your lover. You are a prostitute Ameera, I regret the day I married you. I don't know that you were this cheap" I slapped him at the face,he look surprised and then his face turned murderous .

" Don't ever call me a prostitute. I will allow you to call me names but not a prostitute . Amir, how could you think that I'll cheat on you. Please Amir believe me, I wasn't cheating on you. I have an explanation for that. He called me that day that---"

" shut up, just shut up Ameera. I have heard enough, there isn't anything you say that will change my mind. I now know your true colour, don't even give me that innocent look because I will never believe you Ameera"

" from now henceforth, just know that we are done" Amir roared out

My sobbing increased.what have I done? How can Amir think so low of me?

" please Amir, listen to me. I swear I'm not cheating on you. Please believe me" I went on my kneels ,I held his leg begging and crying for him to see that I'm not cheating on him. I love him so much. I can't loose the father of my unborn kids. No, no I can't.

" let go of my legs ameera" he roughly pushed me. I was shocked at how he pushed me. What is happening to my marriage?

He walked to the couch and pick up some thing like a book. He walk forward with the book in his hand. I immediately recognized the book.

It's my diary. What is he doing with my diary?

" why are you with my diary?"

He mockingly laughed at my confuse face. " you thought I wouldn't find out all your secrets?. " what is he talking about?

" You plan for this marriage to happen. I can't believe you trick your friend to run away so you can sway yourself into my life. Well, all your games has come to an end. You're just a gold digger, all you are after is my money. My conscience kept telling me before the wedding that you shouldn't be trusted but I was so foolish to think other wise. This is your end Ameera " he said with so much disgust. He was looking at me like I was a tramp.

I don't even know what to think again, all this is so hard to take in. All in one day

" That was not how it was, Amir. I didn't marry you for your money, I swear I was only trying to help Aisha. She--"

" I don't want to hear a single word from your mouth, if not I will beat the shit out of you. You desperate gold digger "

What?

" Amir it me, your love. You can't do this to us Amir please" I held his shirt, before I know it I felt a hot slap on my face.

He slapped me?. I look up at him in shock

" you slapped me? "

" I'll do worst than that" his eye is empty of sympathy, it's now filled with hatred, hatred just for me. He isn't my Amir anymore, he is a stranger. A stranger I don't even recognize.

I fell on the floor and broke down all over again. I'm doom, this is the end.

" I Amir sani Bula divorce you, ameera, once. Pack your things and leave my house"

" NOOOOOO!!. please don't do this to me Amir. Think about our unborn child please "

" what did you just say? "

" I'm pregnant with your child" I nod at him for him to believe me. I took the results from my hand bag close to me and hand it over to him. " this is the result" he didn't take it

" I don't want you to ever utter such nonsense to me again . I know what you're planning to do, you want to push your bastard child to me after the father didn't accept it right. You think I'm a fool? You can't trick me anymore Ameera. We are over"

I was finding it hard to breath, Amir noticed that but didn't care. I breath in and out, I kept repeating the process till I calm down. Dr Amina told me to avoid stress coz of the babies. I give up, I can't continue like this. I promise to take care of my two kids with or without their father. He didn't even give me a chance to explain myself,he let the devil used him. He is now a changed person, I don't know who he is anymore.

I stood up from the floor, I wipe my tears and look at Amir in the eyes to say what I'm about to say.

" if that is what you want, then fine. I can't take it anymore I have given up. If I leave this house I don't want to see your face ever again and when my children are born I'll tell them that there father is dead. Don't ever show your face before me ever again. I promise to leave tomorrow after your dad's birthday. Goodbye Amir" with that I walk straight to my room.
