KHADIJA

Chapter 5; Shun

Abuja, Nigeria

Irfan and Abbiey( Khadija's father) Sat in the Gigantic sitting room of The Nawal Dikku's Mansion.

Irfan became part of the family since after Khadija's accident. He visits them frequently and he checks on Khadija's health

Abbiey moved his gaze from The TV to Irfan who was smiling to his phone.

"Irfan." Abbiey called but Irfan was too engrossed in what he was smiling at in his phone

Abbiey smiled and called again tapping him slightly. He quickly rose his head up looking at Abbiey "Abbiey." He called out shoving his phone into his pocket

"What were you looking at since?" Abbiey asked smiling

"Urh... Abbiey.. It's..." He couldn't form a coherent word as he went on scratching the nape of his neck. Abbiey chuckled knowing what he was doing. He knows it's only when Khadija is involved that he acts this way "Is it Khadija?" He asked playfully wiggling his brows. Irfan slightly nodded scratching the nape of his neck. He took Khadija's picture from Her Instagram page and he stared at it smiling that was when Abbiey caught him

Abbiey chuckled "I know you love her Irfan. Even thou you never sorted out your feelings, but I know you love her. Do you think about her and smile? Stare at her picture, or always feel happy when you see or hear her voice?"

Irfan thought for a moment. That is exactly what he feels even with a little bit of addition "Yes Abbiey."

Abbiey nodded briefly laughing "You love her Irfan."

Irfan kept numb knowing Abbiey is right. He nodded continuously

Abbiey sighed "Irfan, you are now part of this family and whenever you're ready to marry Khadija, you have my permission. I mean whenever you are ready to start a relationship with Khadija, I have no problem concerning that." He uttered

"Thank you Abbiey"

"Don't worry my son. I'll talk to Khadija about you and then if she's ready, you can understand yourselves."

"Urm.. Abbiey I wanted to talk to you about this but I realised that Khadija is still young, she needs to understand herself so I decided to give her time maybe to when she'll be done with her secondary school."

Abbiey smiled shaking his head in understanding. He would forever be grateful for having Irfan in their lives. He hopes he would be the one to help Khadija face the reality. "Masha Allah. That is Good. I'm really okay with that. Urm...Irfan, I want to give you a spoken wassiya"

"Abbiey-"

He raised his hand to cut him off "Don't stop me Irfan." He adjusted his sitting position "Even if I die, Khadija is an Amana to Her brother Rufai and you. I know she has Ego or pride and I know she's still naïve about the world and she thinks money is everything. so I want you to be the one to teach her how life is and tell her the truth and reality. Change her for me... For Us Irfan"

"Insha Allah Abbiey. I will never disappoint you"

Khadija hissed as she spotted Irfan's car. The man keeps getting on her nerves since after her accident. The most annoying part of it is that, Her family now takes him as part of their family. She opened the door bursting in without even saying her taslim. Instead of her to greet Abbiey and Irfan who were having a conversation, she acted as if she didn't see them and took the way to her room. She hates greetings.

"Khadija!" Her Father called with a Stern voice. She internally rolled her eyes and turned around

"Even if you can't greet me, have the sense to greet Irfan." He said pointing at Irfan
