MY PRICELESS JEWEL COMPLETE NOVEL
Juwairiyyah woke up the next day feeling sober, with a lot on her mind, her eyes swollen into big balls like oranges, she looked like a new mad woman, who just came out of the psychiatric hospital. She was wearing a skirt and blouse, made of a fabric called “shadda” baby pink in color. She walked down straight to the kitchen, where uwani was busy preparing the morning breakfast.
“Good morning” she greated, as she took a plate from the plate rack, going straight to the food warmer uwani kept the yam and egg she was frying.
“Good morning hajiya” uwani said, bending down a little as a sign of respect to her boss lady.
“Uwani, i know i have always been rude to you, you are older than me, so you deserve respect from me, even if you are working under me. Please, forgive me”
“O hajiya!” Uwani said hugging her “I’ve always loved you, and no matter what happen, I’ll always, i mean I’ll always be with you”.
“Ma shaa Allah, this was what I’ve been waiting for, for ages. Thank you for realizing that soon angel”. Hajiya raliya said, standing at the doorway.
“Good morning mom” juwairiyyah said, giving her a warm embrace.
“Morning our bride-to be, had a great night i guess”
“Yes mom” she answered slowly.
“You look pale, look at your eyes,are you okay?” Asked her mom, concerned
“Yes mom, don’t worry. Am perfectly alright”.

*32*But what she saw after closing the door behind her shocked the hell out of her, deep inside, she was still grateful for choosing junayd as her husband to be.
“Yaa junayd” she called slowly, after overcoming the shock of what she saw “yaa junayd are you okay? What’s wrong with you?” She asked, as she walked over to where he was lying down. But as soon as she approached him, a heavy and polluted smell gave her a warm welcome. She quickly stood up, her eyes wide open in shock. What could this be? Is junayd a drunkard? Yaa Allah! No! This can’t be.
“Yaa junayd, what is this smell? Don’t tell me its what am thinking?” She asked, standing over him. Junayd turned slowly and looked at her, he’s feverish, and at the same time feeling dizzy.
“Angel…” He called, his voice almost inaudible “Am sorry, you made me do it, i just had to…” His speech ended as he begin to throw up without a stop. The room was filled with the heavy smell of the alcohol he took yesterday night. Tears rolled down juwairiyyah’s cheeks, she has no other choice but to help him. She went over, helped him up and took him to the bathroom, she then came back and clear the mess before finally leaving the room. Deep inside, she was thinking if she made the wrong choice by choosing him as her husband to be.
Junayd came out of the bathroom after about 20minutes, a towel around his waist, he looked pale, his skin damp with perspiration. He sat down at the edge of the bed, his head in his hands as he went into deep thought, remembering how and why he became alcoholic.
It started the very day he confessed his love to juwairiyyah, right from her expression, junayd knew quite well that she has no feelings for him. But to him, it seems like as days goes by, instead of him to forget about her and move on. But No!, she became more beautiful in his eyes and that’s because he only looked at her with a lustful look in his eyes. From that day onwards, he made a vow to himself, with or without a conjugal bliss, juwairiyyah will be his!.
From that day onwards, he took pleasures from alcohol, and in his crazy state, imagine him and juwairiyyah as perfect couples.
Juwairiyyah was still shocked, if what she saw was not her imagination, then she has made a big mistake by choosing junayd. Atleast, her dad will consider her points of view. And no matter what happened to junayd after their breakup, no one will blame her, for she choosed him at first and left him for his attitude and behavior. She took her phone by the bedside and dialed arfaat’s num, but to her surprise, arfaat didn’t pick up, she called again for almost 5 times without any response. What could have happened? She mused to herself.
Arfaat looked at the wrist watch tied around his left hand, its almost 11am, and he’s still in bed, doing nothing other than thinking about juwairiyyah. Someone’s else’s wife to be in two days time, why did she have to choose junayd over him? Is junayd more handsome and cute than him?. she stood up and walked slowly to his dressing mirror, looked at himself from head to toe. Arfaat is a heavily built up guy, with broad shoulders. He’s very tall and have a very handsome carved face, with Beard on both side of his cheeks. He is a cute guy, strong features. Short dark curly hair. “Am i not cute enough to be loved by you lily?” he said to himself, still looking at the mirror in front of him.
“Yaa arfaat” khadeeja called him from behind “its high time you forget about aunty juwai and face the reality, you are grown up already and can face any challenge head straight. Why do you keep acting like a kid?”
“I love her lil sis, i love her so very much. Am i not handsome enough for her to choose me? Why would she choose someone over me? Why?”. He asked angrily.
“Because you ruined the one chance you had with her in playing your so called game called revenge” khadeejah answered him back angrily, what she had never did to her elder bro. “You were stupid enough to join her in the game, and now you are loosing her for good!. Wake up yaa arfaat and face the reality. Do you know what mama is going thru seeing you depressed like this? Do you know how worried she is? Do you know that she stopped eating food since the very day you stopped eating to? Come on yaa arfaat, you’ve seen a lot from your silly mistake! Now face the reality”. She said, shouting at the top if her voice.
His body went cold, as he stood there listening to his sister lecturing him “you think it was all my fault?” She asked slowly. Khadeeja felt sorry for her brother, she walked over to him and took his right arm in hers.
“Yes yaa arfaat, you are matured enough to know right and wrong. Matured enough to forgive what she did to you. The prophet sallallahu alaihi wa salaam always cautioned us on forgiveness, forgive and forget, not to take revenge on silly and small issues. You married her, you shouldn’t have divorced her. Her contract marriage is way out of our islamic teachings” she explained slowly.
Tears of sadness rolled down his cheek, his lil sister is right. Every single word she said there made some senses, how stupid of him. “Thank you so much lil sis. I love you and am proud of you”.
Mai kunu left the doorway with tears in her eyes, at least no matter how little it is, khadeejah had made her brother realised a lot of things. She’s proud of them.
