Chapter Thirteen.

The next morning, I stood by the mirror after taking shower staring at how ugly and messed up my face looks, after sometimes I got dressed and headed downstairs for breakfast.

I walked into the kitchen thinking Mubarak might be there cause he was not in the parlor but to my surprise he wasn't instead he left a note on the table.

"Where is he and why is there a note here" I wispered to myself.

I took the note and read it.

"Like I said earlier never step your leg outside this house else you will regret it and sorry for hitting you, I was soo angry.. And don't you dare tell anyone about this else it will be worst"

I cried after reading the note, I couldn't eat my breakfast so I called Batul.

"Batul I can't take this anymore" I cried.

"What happened kuma"

"We can't talk on phone, can you come over please"

"Sure, will be on my way, stop crying am coming okay"

"Ok"

Few minutes later Batul came in.

"Tasneem what happened"

"Batul am tired, he ignores me and now he stops me from going out, I can't take this anymore" I cried out the pain to my bestfriend.

"Subhanallah this is serious, why is he doing all this"

"I don't know but i know someone is behind all this cause I got a message saying am yet to see the worst since i got married to the love of her life and that this is just the beginning"

"What!!! Who the hell is she and why can't she just forget him"

"I don't know, i think i will be going back home, I can't take it anymore"

"No Tasneem it's too early, just calm down and obey him everything will be fine insha Allah, lets just continue praying"

"Batul are you sure, atleast I should let Mami know about it"

"No Tasneem komai zaiyi sauki insha Allah (everything will come to an end)"

"Ok then thank you soo much"

"Mention not dear, oya accu wokugo (stop crying) i promise to visit everyday after school"

"Haba" I happily said.

"Yes dear"

"Thank you darling"

"Let me be going, i have to pick up yumeen from Islamia"

"Ok then but atleast have a drink"

"No thank you, mihari Allah (i'm full Allah)"

"Toh shikenan"

"Ok bye"

"Aha bye, my regards to yumeen"

"Insha Allah"

"This is it Tasneem, your dreams are tarnished all thanks to Mubarak" I said to myself crying after seeing Batul off.

"Ya Allah What wrong have I done to deserve this, forgive me ya rabb" I kept saying until I slept off.

Days past by I kept dancing to his tunes, obeying his rules until this day.

I woke up early one Saturday and decided to pay my parents a visit cause it's been a month since I got married and all we do is talk on phone, I made a promise to myself not to spit a word of all the troubles am going through in Mubarak's house.
