I was very tired to fuck a fight with Yaya as we on not talk mode.I saw a room opposite the one he enter, I open up and was surprise to find all the furniture I always tell mama about when I have a house and here it go, but this isn't my plan at all.
I check the wardrobe attach to the wall and find all my cloth from home and take one from after fresh up.
I pray my meeting salah then retired to bed of an hours flight.10:00PM
I wake up from the tiring journey to a hanger bang. I find my way down to check on the kitchen, coming down to see Yaya down and some strange bringing food stuff.
Our eyes meet and he told go back and wore something proper, before I could reply him the man came and inform they are done.
Without a second look I heard " cook a proper food now!
And I don't know the time I call his name"Yaya! We just came back from a journey and
You heard what I said. I wipe tear that was coming and enter the kitchens. All long I though Mani is going to send food but this nigg is making me Cook.
I Cook jollof rice with salad, I was setting the food on the table when he came in. I served him while I pack mine to the kitchen and decided to collect my phone from him.
Yaya! My phone please, I want to call mama and dada.
Here take it, looking at what he gave me is a small Nokia phone.But Yaya this isn't my..
I know isn't your phone but this is your new phone now. All possible contact are saved.But Yaya it was uncle who bought the phone for me.
Yes not me, but I sized it.I couldn't stay anything because he already see the tears in my eye, so I walk away leaving the phone on the table.
******************************
It was hard for me to fall asleep because am tired of yaya's cold attitude towards everything, making me works like his maid whenever he want to.11:00AM
A very loud knock on my door, which i know its only me and yaya in this house so is him.I put on my hijab and open the door but he's not here, i walk down stair and saw him with some woman talking.
I said my salam as I take a seat opposite his. Your maids
I look at him confuse.
You heard me. I exchange greering with them from there he walk away after giving the elder woman something in envelop and From my observation they look Hausa Fulani.I saw a room down stair which I though is for the maid and show them to which I get to know their named Aisha and binta both in their mid 16.
Prepare breakfast I heard from behind.
I hiss because it not my plan and was surprise he didn't talk back.I get to the kitchen and set on chips and eggs. As I peel much of it because we can't be eating while they're others in the house.
I kept his and take there to their room.
I was in the kitchen with kitchen with them when he came in.
Am going to Khalil, Aida was in labor since yesterday. He walk away without my reply.After I finish my Job, I decided to rest for a while.
8:00PM
The stupid phone Yaya gave me keep ringing like no tomorrow before I reach the place, door bell ring loudly. I get the door and it Yaya.
And he wasn't like the way he went out.
How's Aida? Just a simple reply,
She passed away.
What did you means she passed away? What of the baby, amani? Stop joking around like this please.My head is too heavy to recruit to Yaya again, his phone, here come down as he pass the phone to me.
Nana's crying voice answers everything.
Aida is dead! Amani does not have a mother anymore.

You change my clothes?! Uhm. A knock on the door, come in!

Okay.
I finish praying with Nana by my sides even though she also feel the pressure.Non of us sleep up to this hours.
7:00AM
Nana I don't feel comfortable in staying here, why don't we go to mami house. Call Yaya and told him to send somebody, but I thinks even mami is coming because Yaya Khalil house is not far, just a few houses along yours.
And amani? He's with her dad. Poor baby she will grow up without a mother.
I call him for the first time, immediately he pick up, Nana what is it, did something happen?It me! What it is? Can we go to mami, am on my way will talk when I get back.
Okay.I just speak to Yaya and was surprise he is back in a minutes which I happen to know I stay in the same estate with them.
He came in with sleeping amani and her luggage. Nana call the bag while I collect amani from him.
Nana make coffee for me please.
****"""********"""""*******""****I drop her on the bed in his room, lemme fresh up.
In this dead situation, I find the cool side of Yaya, he care for me so much between yesterday nights and morning calling Nana every minutes as if am the one in situation.My though was break by him completely dress in white jallabiya seating clothes to me on the bed.
I don't want you going to mami house okay, if you're scare now, what will happen one day if I die, stay here and be strong, amani, Nana and even mami is on her ways then will all go to the house okay.
Uhm.
You feel good? Uhm. I though about the situation as I should be the one to take care of Yaya but he did that for me despite us fighting but he.. His voice was what bring me back.Take your bath while I take care of her.
I take my bath and in no time when I came out, I spotted my clothes on the bed. I put on my clothes in time he came in with a tray.You have to eat oya. Yaya feed me not because I want to eat but he said am not feeling well.
After we are done, lemme go and check on your coffee, probably Nana must have forgot it.Don't worry she will bring it.
The quite of the siren dead weather cover us both in our different world looking at young amani. I heard something liquid seal the though in me.I didn't want to free myself, but the though of him doing everything for my happiness, if I didn't settle him now I been on fair to my need.
I give up and response to the sealing need kiss. It was very slow at first,but opening the door for Yaya was only our heavy breathe and moans grown in the room.
Our patching away was break by the knock on the doors. I quickly move a away catching my breath.Come in.
Nana came in with the coffee. mami is in the living room. Okay we are coming.
I watch him slip on the coffee before he said let go shy shy wife.
I couldn't look at him in the eyes walking away leaving him behind.
