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."

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.
