IN TWENTY ONE DAYS

31; WEAKNESS.

ABUJA, NIGERIA.

The ride to the Masari resident was quite awkward since Zara couldn't say a thing and if she draws her into the conversation, she will just grunt or nod so Bushra stopped trying after the third attempt. She was just trying to help her calm her nerves. Yes, she hates her but she don't like seeing that type of Zara, it makes her feel like she has the upper hand. If they compete together even if it is to get Mika'il's attention, she loved that better. Oh well, she's tried her best and now it is up to Zara to make a new impression on her in-law.

As soon as they entered the mansion, Afrah ran to her and gave her a huge hug then took Anaan from Mika'il who glared at her for taking his daughter away. They feel like she only wants them to come so they can collect their daughter and disappear from the face of earth. There are three people Bushra won't bat an eyelash knowing Anaan is with them, Gigi, Amir and Afrah, they love her girl a lot. She smiled at the retreating back of Afrah playing with Anaan then her attention went back to none other than her famous cowife, the President's daughter.

Zara is awkwardly standing beside her at the door since they didn't enter inside, she made an evil grin publish itself on her face then ushered her inside so they can greet the main deal. On their way, she saw Amir walking around without a shirt showing his much more bulkier body than his brothers. He has a bowl of what looks to be cereal in one hand then spoon with another, a bad habit she told him to drop but old habits die hard. He likes eating while walking, it has ran deep into his blood that she can't stop him now. When he saw them, his eyes widen then he rushed out to get a shirt, she shook her head.

"Belle Meré!" Bushra chirped in a high pitched voice at the sight of her beautiful mother in-law walking out from the kitchen. Her face has never looked beautiful for some odd reasons so Bushra has it in her to tease her. Her small figure that Afrah took over rushed to where she is with a much wider smile.

"Favorite daughter, I miss you." She beamed enveloping her in her arms and she immediately melted with so much love. Her eyes dilated in happiness, she loves being in her mother in-law's arms. It feels like her own mother and sometimes much more than her very own mother, the woman is just special.

"I miss you more, my beautiful woman. I don't know why you look so sexy today but something has changed about you. Tell me the secret please." She poured, pulling away from him to see her mother in-law again. She is not trying to be on her good side or make Zara jealous of their relationship but her mother in-law has really changed. She has become more beautiful than she's ever seen her in those days.

"Stop with the compliments. Tell your father to compliment me if you want me to feel happy. The man has been so busy in the hospital that he don't notice." Her mother in-law pouted back, her eyes shining with mirth and admiration for her daughter in-law. She has always been like a daughter, the bond ran too deep.

"Ah, how could he? Daddy, daddy!" Bushra called into the house while walking inside to find her equally handsome father in-law. She saw him sitting in the family living room but stood up upon hearing the sounds of her calls.

"Eh, so much shrills for me? Pray tell, what is wrong now?" He smiled knowingly when she pouted, she didn't like that he said what is wrong. She kept that aside then took a glance back at her mother in-law who shook her head in wonder, she wants to hear what is going to happen.

"You didn't say mother in-law looks beautiful? Can't you see how young she's become that I'm jealous Maan will fall in love with her now instead of me?" She crossed her arms underneath her chest having already thrown the bag somewhere around the house. Whenever she comes, she throws her things and when they are to leave, everyone will start helping her get her things.
