ABUJA, NIGERIA.
The night before Fahad died...
"Will you keep quite as though you've never seen anything in that car or are you going to rat us out?" Zara asked him from the video call she did with her mother's ex husband who is helping her do her dirty work.
She had initially thought there were no loops in the plan she's made and her death will be in the past by now. But the man called her to tell her that he has been holding Fahad captive for the last four months but since he left the state to do some work, he totally forgot about him and as soon as he came back, he called her to tell her everything. During that well formulated accident where they killed two people without remorse, Fahad had seen the people in the car and was the only one who saw them clearly and was sure it wasn't Zara and Mika'il.
He confessed it in the background that he saw the people inside but sinc

ABUJA, NIGERIA."You called for me?" Bushra asked her parents as soon as she entered their room that blessed afternoon. She was hopelessly lying on the bed with no direction or future whatsoever when a call came through her intercom that her parents want to see her in their room so she hastily made her way there thinking it might be something urgent. Looking at their relaxed poses though, she is not so sure anymore, it's something else."Yes, your father and I want to talk to you about something really crucial." Her mother removed her medicated glasses and stare at her husband searchingly while Bushra on the other hand is trying her best not to reply sarcastically when she said 'talking about something' it's obvious they are going to tal

ABUJA, NIGERIA."Even if I tell you I want you for myself?" The question hang in the air rendering Kauthar speechless for a minute there. She didn't know whether her head is moving around or she was too tired after so many meetings in the office and started hearing things. Yes, that should definitely be the thing that is messing with her brain big time.Mujaheed on the other hand only stared at her, his face not displaying any emotion watching as she crease her brows and release them after thinking she's thought about the solution to all her problems. He almost laughed when she looked relieve as if what he said is only her imagination. He won't back out though, not when the words were already out of his lips and she has reacted to it too. This is his chance to ask for her hand in marriage and if she doesn't agree, he shall go to her father and ask for it."What did

ABUJA NIGERIA."Calm down and sit down." Bushra wanted to laugh at Kauthar's worked up state but she knew the woman will flung her to the wall if she dare do that. She's never seen her like that so it is very refreshing to feast on the always calm businesswoman all because of her brother."There is no calming down here honestly. Your brother will pay for ever crossing me like that. Doesn't he know who I am? The reputation of not taking nonsense like this?" She fumed after sitting down on the bed beside Bushra. Her eyes glazed at the door as if waiting for him to pop inside so she can devour him whole."I'm going to ask you some questions and you will answer them honestly, hmm?" She crossed her arms over her chest waiting for Kauthar's response and she gave her a nod after narrowing her eyes."Ask away and no stupid questions, I know you." She warn

ABUJA, NIGERIA."Are you sure, Amir? I don't know why I feel like you will be committing such grievous sin getting married to me. I mean, you should be doing what guys your age are doing right now than becoming a father at early stage and also a husband. At twenty one, you should focus on building your future. Have girlfriends like your friends are doing." Bushra is still afraid of what Amir had said so her heart isn't exactly settled with the decision.Don't get her wrong, she really likes Amir a lot and could tolerate him more than she does all her suitors but then again, he is also the youngest and still have a lot to experience. She is hundred percent sure he never planned on getting married anytime soon had it not being for her dead husband, his brother, he wouldn't have thought about marriage at such a young age. And one thing she knew about Amir

ABUJA, NIGERIA.Amir has been excited the whole day as he made his way to the dining room whistling so he can announce everything to them. He couldn't wait and if it was up to him, he'd get married to Bushra that same day and live happily ever after with his niece. His heart keep on fluttering like he is a damn teenager when he is not. The mere thought of her is enough to make him jump in glee and want to squeal like a girl seeing her celebrity crush for the first time. Her name, her face, her voice, those are enough to make him go crazy."Why are you acting like a monkey all of a sudden? You were clearly breathing fire earlier if I can remember clearly?" Kauthar raise a brow watching him enthusiastically draw out a chair for himself to sit. She was sitting the

ABUJA, NIGERIA."Oh, such joyful news!" Gigi cheered her frail wrinkly hands moving up in front of her in joy. She hasn't heard any great news in a while and this really worth sharing sweets to the less privileged to."I know right. I am glad Amani accepted the boy, it would've yawed to something terrible. The love he has for her is irrevocable, Gigi. I feel like even Mika'il didn't love her the way Amir is doing right now, it looks deep just from the way he talks about her. I knew he would've fought with me had I turn down his offer." He shook his head recalling what happened the night before in the dining room. He is proud of his son for taking such step, not everyone his age could do this even for love."That is the spirit I want because my Bushra deserves that and more. She stood strong after all Mika'il did, she is worth everything Amir is going t
