The doctor excuse them and leave the office as jalal comfort his wife assuring her everything will be perfectly fine.
After what seems like forever which is just 20minutes lailah stop crying and they both leave the office.

Staring at the hospital wall afrah wonder how she ended up here, the last thing she could remember was standing from the kitchen stool, the throbbing headache makes her close her eyes shut as the room door open making her to open her eyes and they land on her aunty and her husband.

"How are you feeling now?" Lailah ask with a weak smile and afrah node.

"How are you feeling!" Jalal ask and afrah node not looking at him.

"Baby can you stay with her?
So i can  go bring something for her to eat from home, she hasn't eat anything since morning not even her breakfast." Lailah say and jalal glance at afrah and look at his wife.

"I will just go and buy something for the both of you, you also need to rest." Jalal say but lailah decline as she insist on him staying in the hospital with afrah and she go home to prepare a healthy food for her niece, after a lot  of argument jalal is left with no choice than to let his wife leave much to his displease.

"You are pregnant and please don't try to create a scene by saying it's mine." Jalal say after minutes of silent.

Afrah turn her gaze to her uncle who is going through his phone as do he didn't say anything and she shake her head.

"Uncle j.
I was a virgin when you raped me,
I love you but it wasn't my intention to make that happened yet I didn't even for once regret that unfortunate event, maybe it was a mistake to you but to me, it was my beautiful mistake because this baby is yours and I'm not going to lie about it, I'm going to tell aunty lailah everything that happened because I can't let my child grow without a father's love just because of your own selfish reason." Afrah say making jalal to drop the phone on his lap.

"Afrah.
I look nice right?" He ask staring at her and he smile shaking his head.
I'm very dangerous when it comes to anything that will keep my wife away from me, I will do anything when I say anything I mean I don't mind killing you or the stupid thing you are calling me the father to it, I don't mind, I'm not going to beg you not to tell your aunty because you are to small for me to do that, do whatever you want to do but remember, I jalal promised you that from the very moment you tell your aunty I'm the father of that thing your nightmare begins and if you think I'm joking.
Dare me afrah. "Jalal say staring into afrah eyes with soo much hatred.

" uncle j.
Regardless anything you will do or say to me I will love you because I don't know how and why God chooses to put me in this situation but I have never love someone soo much just by looking at them, from the very first day I saw you i find myself helplessly in love with you it's stupid of me but i can't help it."afrah say and jalal snort.

"If you cost me my marriage afrah I will make sure I .........
