HOW IT STARTED

It all started from the day her mom traveled out of the city to see her grandmother, her dad had to pick her from school. That was when he saw Aziza, as of it was a spell or charm. He fell in love immediately.

He lied to his daughter that he wants to make some enquiries but instead went ahead to exchange contacts with her.

The first time her father got caught, was in a hotel room. Apparently, Asma's mom had heard the news from one of her friends that her husband was going out with a young lady and is always taking her to a particular hotel.

As suspected, he was there with his mistress that day. Asma's mom caused a little embarrassment for the cheat and his mistress, but Aziza didn't feel remorseful, she just dressed and leaves the scene immediately, then her husband apologizes afterwards and promised not to repeat it.

The second time, was in their matrimonial home. This time around, it was a different situation because Asma caught them and called her mom immediately. The scene of seeing her father and one of her teacher's together almost damaged the young girl.

Asma's mom rushed home, and met them both fornicating and couldn't bear it again. The most annoying thing was, Aziza didn't act remorseful all along. Whilst the legal wife was causing some fuss and trouble, she dresses her self calmly and exit peacefully as if nothing happened.

It was already getting too much for the innocent wife and mother to handle, she asks for a divorce immediately but her husband pleads again, and again she decided to let go and give him one last chance.

Asma was strongly against it, the disrespect and insult was just too much, but what could she do or say. This is an issue that involves three adults, she dares not interfere.

Then the last time, it was at Aziza's house, someone had given Asma's mom a tip off that her husband had been visiting one particular lady of recent, she went there and caught them again. The third time!!!!!!!

Asma's mom was really mad, that she tried assaulting Aziza physically, but is seemed that Aziza was stronger, as she received enough beating from the mistress. While this scenario was going on, Asma's dad sat there quietly, not making a single move or sound.

Asma's mom realizes she has lost her husband to the hands of a pathetic woman, she looks at her husband with the eyes of betrayal and rejection. She went home with her already tattered dress.

Unlike before, her husband didn't try begging or apologizing, instead he brought the divorce papers himself. After the divorce, Alima and Chris were legally separated. He moved to Aziza's apartment temporarily.

After some days, Chris tries something silly. He tries to take custody of Asma, and at that very young age, Asma had to stand in court to give a testimony against her father. She told the judge how she saw her father and their class teacher on her parents matrimonial bed.

"Asma, can you tell us what you say on 25 June this year." The judge asks with smile, but he noticed Asma wasn't really happy. "You don't have to be sad, just be free and tell us the truth."

"I saw my dad and one of school teacher's Miss Aziza on my parents matrimonial bed."

The whole court turned into a discussion room, as they pitied the young girl having to experience such scenario.

"How did you see them?" The judge asked again.

"They forgot to lock the door." Asma replies sobbing.

Even the judge was disappointed in Chris, how could he allow his daughter experience such a terrible and awkward thing. Chris lost the custody with some of his assets too, he was fined some amount of money and was also instructed to pay a certain amount of money to his wife's account every month. That money was for his daughter's upkeep.

Since then, Asma has been living with her mother alone, though her father visits but it was occasionally. Her mother's pride has once been hurt and shattered, she is still in emotional pains at the moment. If the secret was exposed in the school of all places, it could destroy Asma and her mom.

Asma walks back to the classroom with worry written all over her face. But Ella was the first to notice it.

"My dear, what is wrong with you?" Ella asks playing with her cheeks as she sat.

"Why did you mood change?" Abdullah asks.

"Did something happen on your way to the toilet?" Darifa asks too.

"Will you people keep quiet and give me time to answer." Asma whispers and managed to fake a smile.

Her friends burst into laughter, Asma watched how the trio laughed without worries. If she was to do that terrible thing to Ella of all People, she would loose so many things. So she decides to open up to them.

"So will you tell us now?" Darifa asks again.

"Yes." Asma nods. "you guys know my parents are divorced right?"

"I know about that." Abdullah says with a smile. "But these two don't know." He says pointing very closely to their eyes.

"My parents got divorced because of Miss Aziza."

Her friends open their mouth in disbelief.

"Are you sure of what you are saying?" Darifa asks again.

"Yes, I even caught them my self on my parents matrimonial bed."

"How could she do that?" Ella asks no one in particular.

"She even lured my father in trying to take custody of me." Asma furthers. "I had to give a testimony against my father."

"What kind of woman is that? How can she face you everyday?" Abdullah asks angrily.

"That's not the issue on ground." Asma smiles.

"What do you mean?" Ella asks.

"When I was returning from the toilet, I met the class bullies, they ask me to push Ella down the stairs. If not, they would tell the whole school why parents divorced last year."

"Unbelievable!!!! how could they bargain with you on your personal life and matter." Abdullah speaks up again.

"What will you do now? Will you push me down the stairs-"

"I don't plan to do such." Asma retorts as she cuts Ella." I plan to use the situation to my own advantage."
