looked at Anty Ummi and said
“My dear, I have a guest, what dessert will you prepare for him?”
“Whatever you say, my love”
"Okay, I'll give him a simple snack on the way, now Mus'af told Abbas to come," he said slowly, looking at where Aimanah was feeding the children because she couldn't hear what he said,
"I'm really glad we have a great guest,
“Aimanah, let the children and their father go into the kitchen, but just go and get ready, make sure you dress well, we'll have a great party.”
"Oh my God, Anty, I'm late for my bath," Aimanah exclaimed, Anty walking through the kitchen laughing as Aimanah entered Zaheed's room. Everything was hers, she had been staying here since she came, she sat on the edge of the bed, calling on her phone.
“Don't you miss her?”
"Why, Aimanah, you are more like a little girl than a little girl. I will marry you in a month and you will go to your husband's house." Mah clapped her hands and laughed.
“Shikenan Mah, I won't come back, I'll stay here since you didn't ask for me, and I won't get married.”
“We are looking for you but how can we do it since your brother is holding you back? You must have gone to Abuja. My brother, Daddy said you should come back on Monday and you will go back to school in eight days.”
“Mom, what did you say when you came to Abuja?”
“Oh, Subul, I'm from Abuja, this town is Zaheed”
“Mom, I'll be back tomorrow. This town is too much for me. I don't have anywhere to go. I'll just go home and go shopping.”
“No, don't go tomorrow, wait until Friday, we're in Kaduna, your father and I are home, there's no one there until Thursday, we'll go home.”
“Mom, are you in Kaduna?”
“Daddy's wearing a shiny face”
“Wow Mom, how long have you been with Daddy now that you've been to Kaduna?”
"Take care of me Baby, let him sleep alone, the women of this era will talk to him, if I don't do this again, I won't let him be my enemy now, I won't give him this opportunity" Aimanah laughed as she hung up the phone, laughing so hard, how Mahh and Daddy were acting like newlyweds She quickly went into the bathroom saying "Ainamah, take a bath and get ready before Anty Ummi comes to pick her up next, she was saying" As she was coming out of the bath, Anty Ummi came in
"I have entered paradise, Sa'adatu, but you haven't finished getting ready yet, so the men are waiting for us." Aimanah opened the closet and pulled out a long dress, which she put on with a stonework pattern, and she was happy.
“Put on this ink and get ready and meet me in the living room, I'll be waiting for you.”
Aimanah quietly began getting ready, spritzing herself with a few drops of cool-smelling perfume, putting on a pair of black-tie western-style dresses, looking very pretty. She picked up her phone and turned off the light, smiling.
"Mustapha" he said softly, remembering how every time she looked so beautiful, she would take a picture and send it to him, and he would praise her.
She calmly walked out of the room, and found Anty Ummi standing in front of the dining table, gathering things on a large plate. "Oh my God, it's good, it's good, take this and bring it to your brother's room, he's a guest, Leena is not here, she's gone to the market." Aimanah didn't think anything of it, she took the plate and passed by, her mouth full of greetings, she stood up and went to her room, she placed the plate in her hand on the large table in the middle of the room, she turned and was about to leave when she heard Yaya Mansur's voice insisting.
"You can't greet me," she quickly heard. She looked at her brother and crouched down to the ground, waiting for the stranger who didn't open the window or say who it was. She heard his voice as if it were a voice, but she didn't care who it was. She didn't go out. She started walking when she heard the voice of Ya Mansur calling her. She stopped and didn't listen.
“Mala, come back inside, you are a guest. Stop and listen carefully to what he has to say. Even though we have already spoken, you will be the one to blame for this behavior of yours.”
"How are you.." “Why are you silent, teacher? It's not your fault that when you start dating, you don't get married. My beloved died, so I gave up and married someone else. You moved in with me and you gave me a house, and you went crazy for him, I ruined you, by God.”
“How dare I...”
"You're going to go inside or I'll draw you," Yaya Mansur said, rolling up his sleeves. Aimanah quickly entered the living room and disappeared. Yaya Mansur smiled and made her go inside.
