ENTANGLEMENT 7

As time went by, Muna and Khalid's relationship continued, their desire and sexual involvement did not in any way slack, they always create time to see and make love and this happened often in different hotels without the knowledge of Khalid's wife, he was smart enough to keep it from her so well caused he feared the damages it might have on her.

In the long run, Muna eventually got pregnant which she intentionally allowed it to happen, she got a medical result to prove it to Khalid, she called him to meet her somewhere so they could talk about it

"What!" Khalid screamed, he was in utmost disbelieve "What did you just say?" He asked again hoping he heard wrongly the first time

"I said that I'm pregnant, I'm three weeks gone already, see here is the result, you can check it if you don't believe me" She stretched an envelope and glanced through the paper that was in it

"Oh my God, how did we let this happen?" He said with grieve

"How was it not suppose to happen, we have had sex countless times Khalid, and I'm not barren so getting pregnant shouldn't be a surprise" She said to him 

"Oh my God, this shouldn't be happening, this shouldn't be happening now" he lamented as the dropped the papers on the table

"Well it has happen, we just have to decide what to about it" She said while fixing the papers back into her bags "So whats going to be our next step?"

"Listen Muna, I need you to give me time to process all of this"

"I don't get, what's there for you to process?"

"You don't expect me to make a decision now" 

"Khalid if you are thinking of telling me to have an abortion, that's never going to happen"

"I don't know Muna, I don't know what to think"

"Why are you making the whole thing a big deal? I thought you loved me and wanted us to be together"

"I have a wife Muna, and that's the more reason you shouldn't be pregnant"

"Oh really, it that what it is about now, you suddenly realise that you have a wife and I don't matter anymore"

"Muna you are getting it all wrong" He made effort to touch her

"Don't touch me, God! I can't believe you are telling me all this after the number of times you've told me you love me, the nights we spent together, after everything we shared"

"I do love you Muna" He tried to touch her again

"Don't touch me, now listen, I don't care about whatever havoc this might cause but you see this baby, I'm going to have it whether or not you like it" She stood up and walked out on him

Muna was almost home when she pondered about the whole situation of things, she was so scared that Khalid may decide not to have anything to do with her, the nurturing of the child was beyond her capacity especially with the fact that she already had a child she wasn't finding it easy in caring for, Khalid was her only hope of survival at that point in time, moreover, she loved him and was desperately willing to make him hers, having a child for him seemed to be the only way to make it possible.

Muna arrived home that day, she didn't meet Jennifer indoors, so she carelessly dropped her bags on the bed, she left the room to the bathroom, just then Jennifer entered the room, she immediately knew Muna was around on seeing her bags and shoe littered on the floor

"Why would you come back and scatter your things like this" She complained as she help in picking up her shoes and went over pick her bags, it dropped and all the items in the bag poured out, as she arranged the items, she stormed on the medical result "What is this?" She asked herself, she was curious so she opened it to check what was detailed in it "What!" she screamed

"What the hell are you doing Jennifer, what are you going through my bag" Muna spoke to her in anger, she hurriedly collected the bag from her but Jennifer was still holding the paper

"Muna you are pregnant, Muna you are pregnant" she said repeatedly, Muna grabbed the paper from her

"You have no right to go through my things" Muna said

"So you are truly pregnant, jeeeez I can't believe this, Muna has killed me, What!"

"What ever that is going on with me is non of your business"

"How could you let this happen to you again?"

"This time around its different okay"

"Different how, because it belongs to Khalid" Muna did not respond, "Wait is it Khalid's?"

"It's none of your business"

"You are pregnant for a married man and you say it's none of my business, what were you thinking, that he's going to leave his wife for you?" Jennifer continued nagging but Muna chose to remain quiet, she walked out of the room instead

Muna knew it was not going to end there, Jennifer would continue shouting and talking if she stayed close to her, she had never supported her relationship with Khalid from the onset, as far as Muna was concerned, Jennifer was never going to understand the kind of love she has for Khalid, the only thing bothering her that moment was the response she would get from Khalid regarding the forth coming baby.
