After series of deliberation by past 8, i decided that the only place i could go to was Aisha’s place as she is the only person that will not ask me questions even if i said i want to sleep in her place. My intention was to sleep in her place at least for that night then go to the mosque the following morning as i was so sure i will see somebody i know that i can put up with and the fact that i still have my back to pick up at the mosque store.
It was a surprise to Aisha when she opened her door and realized i was the one standing there, she welcomed me in and asked where i was coming from, i told her i came to check on her as have been trying to reach her on phone but her number was not going, she said maybe it was network issue as her phone was okay and fully charged.
I settled down on her reading chair, i asked about her hand and if she has taken her drug which she answered in affirmative. She wanted to prepare eba for me but her hand was not that strong so i helped her out and we ate on a separate plate. Just like play, it was 10pm, 11pm and i never did as if i want to go home, i believe she do check time at interval but didn’t call my attention to it and i did as if i didn’t know time was already going.
Me: waoh….its almost 12, i didn’t know time has gone like this ooo
Aisha: even me, we are so carried away with our discussion..you cant go home tonight o, its late already, i wont even allow you to leave this place this late
Me: No now, i can still go home, its just zanrab here, i will still see bike or cab (as if i wanted to go before)
Aisha: Please Alfa Abdulrahman, we can manage this place till tomorrow and go first thing tomorrow morning
Me: No ooo…that is not allowed until we are married, you only have one bed
Aisha: I can leave the room for you if that is it and go and sleep in my house mate place
Me: And what will you tell them if they ask why you are not sleeping in your place
Aisha: I will tell them something..Ajoke is my very good friend, i can manage in her place till tomorrow morning while you sleep here
Me: Are you sure?
Aisha: Yes of course……
Me: Ohk…..
Aisha: let me prepare the bed for you before going to her place
Aisha helped me with the bed, she spread a new bedspread for me as i watch her do the necessary things even with the pains on her hand. I tried to collect it from her but she insisted on doing it herself. She stepped out when she was through that she wanted to go and knock on Ajoke’s place to intimate her that she was coming to sleep in her place. I already moved to the bed myself, Aisha opened the door, and came in back with 15 seconds
Me: What happened? Are you not going again?
Aisha: I just saw Ajoke with her boyfriend entering her room now and am sure he is sleeping here tonight.
Me: okay..just don’t worry yourself, you can have your bed and i will manage the floor, tomorrow is already here. Moreover, maybe i will do tahajud (night vigil)
Aisha: No problem..then we can do it together then….
We performed ablution one after the other then settled down for prayer, we finished the prayer around past one and decided to call it a day and return to the bed. I was so tired with the stress have been going through since the previous day that i didn’t even know when i slept off on the floor as Aisha put off the light.
