Abuja, Maitama
7:00 am


Jannah why are you still on bed when you are supposed to be ready for work? Alhaji Ibrahim said entering Jannah's room.
I'm sorry sir. Jannah muttered and she sluggishly scramble out of her king-sized bed.


I want you to be ready by 7:30. Alhaji Ibrahim said checking his wristwatch.
I have reached the stage to rest and stop going to work but having a worthless daughter I think I will get old still working.
ladies like you are the ones handling their father's company. do you think it's only a male child that becomes the CEO of his father's company?


then you are wrong. My friend's daughter is the one ruling her father's company and she is a medical student working at the hospital as a gynaecologist yet she manages her time for the two.
Alhaji Ibrahim said with a hiss.



Daddy stop comparing me with anyone. I don't like it. Jannah mumble.
did I hear you say something Firdausi? Alhaji Ibrahim said angrily.
No, I didn't say anything. Jannah muttered and quickly run to her closet for her dear life.


It's high time I get you married. Alhaji Ibrahim said and saunter out of Jannah's bedroom.


Oh, Jannah! Jannah said frustratedly hitting her forehead.
I pray Abbah didn't mean his word. Farhan is the only man I will get married to and he told me he is not ready to settle down and start a family. Jannah muttered with a sigh.










*********************


hey, I want a sandwich and coffee prepare it for me now. Jannah said to Aishatu.
Aishatu stops what she was doing and pivots her gaze to Jannah.
she looks at her from head to toe then she goes back to her work washing the plates.



are you deaf don't you hear me? Jannah hollered walking inside the kitchen.
I have already prepared what your mother said I should prepare for breakfast if you can't eat that one then you should prepare it yourself. you are a lady and will get married one day so do it yourself. I will not serve a big girl like you Firdausi. Aishatu said with distaste.


Jannah was quiet for a while glaring at Aishatu who isn't moved by her glare.
I will deal with you when I come back from work. I will make your life miserable. Mark my word pig. Jannah said with a hiss and sauntered out of the kitchen.


Aishatu chuckle after Jannah left the kitchen and continue with her work while humming to the music she is singing in her mind.



Aisha! Aisha!
Aishatu heard Hajiya Khadijah's voice and her heart start beating rapidly.
where is the daughter of that SHCMUCK?
so you have grown wings in this house. how dare you refuse to make a sandwich and coffee for Jannah. Hajiya Khadijah reverberated.


I... I.. Hajiya but she can make it her...
Aishatu couldn't complete her word when she felt a sonorous slap on her right cheek.
who do you think you are in this house if not Jannah's maid?
I will punish your mother for it. You know my husband always gives me her monthly salary then I will give it to her. her salary for this month is cancelled. Hajiya Khadijah said.


Aishatu quickly go on her knee.
I'm sorry Hajiya please punish me instead of my mother. Aishatu pleads.
Ma I don't want her mother to be doing anything for me anymore let her do it. she will be my maid. Jannah muttered rolling her eyes.


you hear what she said and if Jannah complains to me that you refuse to do your work then you know what I will do next. Hajiya Khadijah said and Aishatu nod her head.
Now make the sandwich and coffee for her. Hajiya Khadijah command.
