*Zain: Small girl.

*Zain: Where were you?

*Ruqoyyah: Sorry, I was searching something online.

*Zain: Miss researcher.

*Ruqoyyah: Thanks.

*Zain: Aren't you supposed to be preparing for your exam?

*Ruqoyyah: Nay! Forget about that but I needed to do something online.

*Zain: I pity you.

*Ruqoyyah: Thanks Mr Samaritan.

*Zain: Which university are you choosing?

*Ruqoyyah: Me? 🙄 , I'm picking Abu-its my dream school.

*Zain: and it's one of the best schools in Nigeria.

*Ruqoyyah: I know no need of doing karamo (exaggeration).

*Zain: Me uhn?

*Ruqoyyah: Yes babe.

*Zain: If I catch you ehn!

*Ruqoyyah: Catcher catcher duh.

*Zain: What are you going to study?

*Ruqoyyah: Well, I'm thinking of Arabic education but I'm already studying at IOU. I think I will go for English education in shaa Allah.

*Zain: May Allah make it easy.

*Ruqoyyah: Ameen thuma ameen.

*Ruqoyyah: wait! Zain, I want to ask you something?

*Zain: What rukky?

*Ruqoyyah: Are you married?

*Zain: ...

*Ruqoyyah: Do you have kids?, if yes how old are they?

*Zain: I'm married.

*Ruqoyyah: Maa shaa Allah, my baby boy is married *sniffing and weeping my imaginary tears*.

*Zain: Ruqoyyah and Muhammad.

*Ruqoyyah: Maa shaa Allah!

*Zain: Ruqoyyah will be 19 this year while Muhammad is one plus.

*Ruqoyyah: Wow, you've an adult child, barakallahu fih and I'm calling you baby boy .

*Zain: laughing, but I'll be marrying Ruqoyyah as my second wife soon.

*Ruqoyyah: Are you crazy?!, your daughter.

*Zain: Yes duh.

*Ruqoyyah: Leave Me alone!

*Zain: No, I'm not.

*Ruqoyyah: Whenever I ask you questions, you always dodge them. Leave me alone.

*Zain: sorry, awelewa mi (my exceeding beautiful woman).

*Ruqoyyah: Leave me alone!

*Zain: please do ask me.

*Ruqoyyah: Are you married?

*Zain: Yes,I'm.

*Ruqoyyah: Do you have kids?

*Zain: Yes, I've a son-muhammad, he's a year and four months.

*Ruqoyyah: Okay.

Days passed, weeks passed. I and Zain's chat has been going deeper. I was comfortable with him, and he became someone special to me.

I've been trying his number since a week ago but it was going through and I decided to borrow someone's phone to chat with him.

*Ruqoyyah: Hey Abu Muhammad.

*Zain: Hi umu Muhammad.

*Ruqoyyah: Are you okay?

*Zain: Yes, I'm.

Wait, what do you think or say about the second wife?

*Ruqoyyah: I've nothing to say about it duh.

*Zain: Can you marry a married man?

*Ruqoyyah: Sincerely, there's nothing I can do if that's what's written for me but I never pray to be a second wife!

*Zain: Why?

*Ruqoyyah: Most of the second wives are house wreckers, sincerely I've seen and heard a lot and mom happened to be a victim of it.

*Zain: Oh sorry!

~~~~

*Ruqoyyah: Hey.

*Ruqoyyah:Assalamualaykum.

*Ruqoyyah:Answer me now!

*Ruqoyyah:Are you busy?

*Ruqoyyah:I'm sorry if I'm disturbing you.

*Zain: Oh sorry rukky, I've been busy lately and have some commitment to do.

*Ruqoyyah: That was why you were neglecting me?

*Zain: No, you are not to be neglected.

*Ruqoyyah: Why?

*Zain: Because you are different.

*Ruqoyyah: How?

*Zain: You are special.

*Ruqoyyah: Everyone is special and unique in his or her own way.

*Zain: You are beautiful, intelligent, funny and smart.

*Ruqoyyah: I'm blushing.

*Zain: Sincerely Ruqoyyah can you believe?

*Ruqoyyah: Believe what?

*Zain: Since I've been talking to you, I always am at ease.

*Ruqoyyah: Ehn ehn.

*Zain: The first day I heard your voice, I wish you should never stop talking.

*Ruqoyyah: Are you okay?

*Zain: And the first day you sent your picture, you've never left my dream or day...

*Ruqoyyah: Are you okay?

You are married!

*Zain: Yes, I know but Ruqoyyah... I think I'm falling for you.

*Ruqoyyah: You can't! , I just take you as a friend.

*Zain: A boyfriend.

*Ruqoyyah: Are you okay?, I mean you are my course mate and friend.

*Zain: What is my gender?

*Ruqoyyah: A man.

*Zain: And what am I to you?

*Ruqoyyah: My friend.

*Zain: Then?

*Ruqoyyah: Then what?

*Zain: I'm your main friend. Ruqoyyah, I know it sounds absurd but I swear since the first day I heard your voice, I've known that I'm a goner.

*Ruqoyyah: I heard but I don't love you. I like talking to you as a friend, I just like you.

*Zain: That doesn't mean.

Love me or not but all that I want you to know that I love you from the sky to the earth.

*Ruqoyyah: What of your wife?

*Zain: I never love her; she was forced on me but what I'm always grateful to her for given birth to Muhammad.

*Ruqoyyah: What you are saying is absurd. This is called bullshit. Another day, I'm going.

*Zain: Ruqoyyah, I'm sorry. If it is what I said, please forget about it but please don't leave me. Please talk to me, I don't think I can live my life without not talking to you. I won't disturb you again. Please just talk to me.

And I went offline feeling angry...
