WHAT IS THE MATTER 5???!!! 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄 By Ebuka
Cont'd.
Muftai and his wife Fatiah, with the house help went through a lot of stress while struggling to retrieve Aisha to consciousness
Even the loud scream from their voices also attracted the attention of Adamu, the gate man.
While the others were sprinkling water on the unconscious lady, Adamu was busy shouting a prayer in an Islamic method, with the Tesbi.
The sitting room floor had already been filled with water before Aisha woke up and started coughing, and looking around helplessly. And she was assisted to a sofa by Muftai and Adamu.
ADAMU: "Allahu Akbari!!!... Alhamdulilahi!!!" He kept on saying continuously, as Aisha was being led to the seat.
ADAMU was later dismissed to his duty post by Muftai, with thanks from the rest.
Meanwhile, Aisha did not hesitate to announce her departure immediately... Muftai and Fatiah pleaded she should stay for some more time and rest before leaving. Of course her shame and disappointment wouldn't allow her to stay.
MUFTAI: "If you insisted, let me give you a ride back home then?"
AISHA: "Thanks Muftai. But I'll be fine... Bye" She hurried out of the house, turning down on Muftai's offer to give her a lift back home.
FATIAH: "Who's she, honey?!" She had asked when Aisha left. The woman felt so much embarrassed at what happened. However, she was completely ignorant of the reason for the sudden passing out of the visitor, and who she really was.
MUFTAI: "She's Aisha, the lady I told you about...My ex!"
The house help, who has resumed the mobbing of the floor, is smiling secretly.
FATIAH: "Oh!, that's the lady?!... So pathetic! ...A beautiful young lady like her having convulsion.. Honey, you never told me she's epileptic...?" She's scared.
MUFTAI: "No. Baby, Aisha doesn't have epilepsy. I think that was just an ordinary shock"
FATIAH: "Shock?!... Over what?!. Muftai said nothing further. He smiled lovely to his beloved wife and guided her upstairs, back to the bedroom.
HOUSE HELP: (Now laughing. She went towards the staircase to peep. Yes, the couple has gone out of sight and hearing) "That was EPILEPSY, not shock. Such a contagious ailment. Probably I should go for medical check-up... Aisha should be arrested quarantine!" She was saying to herself in hausa language, while sitting on the centre table.
Suddenly, it was as if someone was descending the staircase. The house help hurried up on her feet and resumed her cleaning.
::::::::::
ADAMU: "Haba! Aisha, I don dey go?!... Go por hospital ooo!" The gate man screamed. He was surprised seeing Aisha leaving so early after what she'd gone through a short while ago.
Aisha scurried out without uttering even a word to Adamu.
**************::::::::::**************
Later in evening of the same day, in Yusuf's house.
YUSUF: " You should calm down and be yourself, Ibrahim. Let's watch and see what will become of this whole situation at last.." The elderly one said, having gone through the letter in his hand. "... Obviously, you can still recall, that I had advised you should let go of Aisha in the first place and marry Zainab... You and I, including Aisha's parents knew that the said Aisha never loved you..." He added and broke off. "... Aisha's heart belongs to Muftai. And now she's finally gone back to him" Yusuf finally said.
All these while, Ibrahim had remained silent until his Yusuf's wife, Amina walked in from the kitchen with a plate full of carrots and groundnuts.
AMINA: Haba! It's okay Ibrahim. I overheard all your brother said to you. Besides, you musn't kill yourself because Aisha left you... You guys should keep your mouth busy with the carrots and groundnuts. Dinner will soon be ready in less than an hour" She smiled and left for the kitchen.
Yusuf's son, Abubakar walked in with a bowl of washing hand water, and drinking water. He dropped it on the table and walked away.
After dinner, at 7:35pm Yusuf had to drop off his junior brother back to his own house. The two bid each other good night and Yusuf drove back home immediately. He didn't bother to follow Ibrahim into the house because it was already getting late.
**IF YOU HAD READ THE EPISODE TWO OF THIS STORY, YOU WILL REMEMBER THAT IBRAHIM LEFT HIS HOUSE AFTER HIS WIFE AISHA AND FORGOT TO LOCK THE DOOR THAT LED INTO HIS APARTMENT**
Ibrahim got surprised when he got to the entrance and discovered it was unlocked!... He opened the door. As he stepped into the house, what he saw made him stood still like a dried tree in harmattan season..
Behold!... Aisha has returned with all her belongings, and has fallen asleep on the couch...
