*The Young Scholar Chapter 2 Episode 15*

A story by Masud Umoru

Khadijah – Please don’t shot… Please spare our lives (she pleaded)

Voice – you want me to spare the live of a criminal? That’s injustice. 7 years ago, your husband and his gang killed my entire family and raped me. (She uncover her face as she revealed the truth)

Yakub – (felt so disappointed with his past act) Please forgive me I’m very sorry.

Amina – (recognise her face too) Sofiat is that you?

Sofiat – Yes it’s me.

Khadijah – you two know eachother? (Asking Amina)

Amina – yes we do, she’s Abdulrasaq’s cousin I met earlier today.(she replied her sister)
what’s really going on here? What do you mean that my sister’s husband is a killer and a rapist?

Khadijah – Seriously I don’t think I understand anymore Yakub. You didn’t tell me you killed someone family and raped her. (Feeling so disappointed in her husband)

Sofiat – Yakub you have to explain to them yourself before you take your last breath.

Yakub – I’m really sorry about everything honey (Khadijah) I didn’t want to go for that mission, I was following orders but sincerely I didn’t rape her nor kill any of her family. I was irritated about what my gang did. Please you have to believe me. (He explained to his wife and sofiat kneeling down)

Sofiat – get up, Everyone deserve a second chance, which is why I’m going to spare your life and also because of the young scholar plea. For the record; you have a lovely family, you need to keep them safe. I hope you know exactly what I mean.

Yakub – yes I do

Khadijah – Thank you very much and help me thank your brother Young Scholar

Amina – Help us thank him

Sofiat – Well the truth is we aren’t related but he’s my big brother. So you guys will have to go thank him, most especially you Yakub.

Amina – Ohhh.. we will (covering baby Maryam from sun rays)

Yakub – I will

Khadijah – I thought as much, he never talked about anyone but his mother.(in her thoughts she spoke to herself)

Sofiat – I hope my secret is safe with you all?..

They all answered yes and then she left peacefully…
Khadijah and her husband used the opportunity to visit the Young Scholar to appreciate him for pleading on their behalf.

Yakub – I am sincerely sorry for how I have been behaving towards you… I even stopped you from coming in my home on Maryam sunnah (naming ceremony). Please I sincerely apologize for every thing.

Abdulrasaq – it’s fine… I didn’t keep any of it at heart and I’m happy Sofiat did the right thing.

Khadijah – Thank you very much for your understanding…

Yakub – (stood up and carried baby Maryam from Khadijah) here what I need to do. My beautiful Maryam, meet uncle Abdulrasaq the most popular preacher in history. (He handed her over to Abdulrasaq)

Abdulrasaq – (laughed)… Baby Maryam.. it’s so nice to see you, you know your dad is just just kidding… I’m just a Young man in search of ilmi.

Yakub from this moment turned a new leaf and stopped his dirty job. And for the first time in two years, Yakub, Khadijah and Abdulrasaq had a brilliant conversation and laughed having a wonderful time spent together. You never truly know how you could connect with someone if you don’t give them a try.

At Daddy Khadijah home…

Mummy Khadijah – Amina where have you been all day, Where did you go to?

Amina – Ohhh I went to visit a friend.

Mummy Khadijah – which other friend do you now visit apart from Saheed? He came her and he came with his people to ask for your Hands in Marriage.
