"Brother Sufyan just give it a little while, you'll love her, you'll see." Maryam said serving him a glass of juice. He was at her house visiting, her husband was out if town and her daughter was taking a nap.
"She's good but I'm just not feeling the whole thing, she does everything just to please me, I want a partner not a servant." He said running his hand through his hair, Halima was driving him insane, two months of being with her and he was so stressed.
She always wanted to talk to him, hear from him, do things to please him. He couldn't even have a normal discussion with her because she always agreed with his views!
"I don't see a problem with a woman
"Hajrah don't you dare take another step!" Her mother's loud voice stopped her at the foot of the stairs."Umma I'm done talking about this with you." Sabeerah said with an edge to her voice."No you're not, what's with this obsession about your job? I'm tired of watching you do this to yourself." Her mother's voice broke and Sabeerah rolled her eyes before turning to her mother."I'm not doing anything to myself Umma, you're the one bothering yourself with something totally unnecessary.""Not being rude Addah but it's not unnecessary, I mean...""I will walk over there and hit you if you say another word." Sabeerah interrupted glaring at Huda who flinched before picking up her phone and giving it all her attention."Sabeerah it's high time, don't you
Sufyan's cheeks were begining to hurt from how much he'd had to fake smile, at this point, he wished he could disappear from this moment.Hadassah gave him a sympathetic smile. "You look tired Brother Sufyan and I'm sure we're all boring you."Two pairs of eyes belonging to Zubayr and Halima turned to look at him."Eh, just a little." Sufyan said with a little laugh. Somehow Halima had blackmailed him into having to bring her along to a dinner invitation from Zubayr and Hadassah, and now he wasn't even enjoying himself.Halima looked at him with worry and he felt his heart clench with guilt. "Should we leave?" She asked."No, no. I'm fine." He said immediately, he wasn't ready to be alone with her."He has to be." Zubayr said thro
"Baba Doza!" Sabeerah screamed excitedly as she sighted her paternal grandfather in the sitting room."Ina kwana- good evening." She greeted falling on her knees in front of him. She'd just returned from the office and from the extra cars she had noticed at the garage, she realized they had visitors, she just didn't know it was Baba Doza, her favorite old man.During his youth, he had been a bricklayer but he could also do many other things, he'd been very hard-working and was always looking to doing the most tedious tasks with such vigour, it had earned him the nickname bulldozer and then everyone else shortened it to 'Baba Doza' as he became older, to the extent even his family members called him that and it always made him smile, he claimed it reminded him of his former energetic self."Sabeerah." He said pulling her into
The weather was hot and Sabeerah was irritated with everything, not that this feeling was an uncommon occurrence but today was an exception."Sarah how long have you been working with me?" Sabeerah asked lightly tapping her nail on the huge mahogany desk in her office.The girl swallowed nervously. "Three years now ma'am.""How much longer do you think you'll keep working with me?""I hope for many more years ma'am.""You have very high expectations from yourself Sarah and it's sad that I don't share such delusional thoughts so if you want to keep working with me, you'll better get your ass out of here and go find the name of the bastard who's trying to snatch the Fadlore farmhouse from our company. Go, now!"She screamed and Sarah scampered off looking very terrified."The poor girl." Matt commented looking at the door Sarah had hurried off through
The smile on Sufyan's face broadened as he walked back to the table to join Hadassah and Firdaus."You look so happy, I don't think I like it." Hadassah commented giving him a one over."Uncle I don't like the lady or her dress." Firdaus complained with a small frown.Hadassah laughed "And Firdaus usually likes everyone, Sabeerah must have been really awful to my baby.""Hey Jannah love." Sufyan cooed at her, "she's not a bad person at all, she's simply angry at someone else and it has nothing to do with you, I promise."Firdaus simply shrugged and focused on her glazed donuts."Forget her, she'll get over it. Tell me how it went, I saw you inputing you number in her phone." Hadassah's tone was that of excitement."Yeah but trust me, t
Sabeerah was sure her face expressed the dislike she was feeling. She hated parties majorly because she hated socializing and that was what these sort of parties were for. She was dressed beautifully in a gold colored sequined gown that flowed effortlessly behind her, a maroon colored turban was tied on her hair and her face was well made up.Her date -Aakhil- had dumped her once they walked into the hall, he was by the bar with two older men and he looked like he was enjoying himself unlike her. She was sitting alone and on her forehead was probably a notice that screamed; talk to me, because that'll explain why people kept coming up to her even after she'd fend the previous ones off.Sabeerah knew she was making a mistake, she was supposed to be mixing up, looking for business associates and tune in to her charming side but she was too tired to actually stand up from her seat and pretend to smile for the rest of the night. She placed he
Sufyan parked his car in the garage and got down from it, he entered the main house. Faridah was seating on a bean bag with a bowl of popcorn, she was on airpod and watching a movie on her laptop.He walked up to her and screamed in her ear, she yelled and jumped up with a start."Brother Sufyan I hate you." She complained angrily."No you don't." He said laughing as he picked fetched a handful of popcorn from the bowl. He munched it I"You wish, don't touch that?" Sufyan warned but she took the box of Swiss rolls and ran off with it before he could even get up."Sufyan! Faridah! What's all these noise for?" He heard his mother asked from the kitchen."Your daughter is a petty thief." He yelled out. He picked up the popcorn bowl and walked into the ki
Her veil slided off her head leaving her hair exposed and her slender fingers went up and dragged it back to her hair. She was beautiful, very much so and it irked Sabeerah to lengths.Her smile was innocent and it displayed a fitting dimple and a perfect set of teeth, it was as if the sun focused on her skin leaving her melanin to glow. Her father said something that made her to laugh harder and Sabeerah knew her laugh would sound good and musical but still, she wished the lady would sound like a goat.Islam Lawal, that was her name, her father's latest girlfriend and apparently his soon to be wife. A close friend of Islam's who was a cousin to Umama had revealed to her that Alhaji AbdulMalik of Shar'ib had asked Islam to be his second wife but everything was to be kept a secret for now, Umama had promised her cousin to keep the secret but she'd had to tell Sabeerah because what in Allah's n
