Yaya!!! Using my hand to push him.
What is this?
You send them away and adda is upset!
She's not, leave her she will come around.

I want to go to market she said sternly looking at him with her reds eyes.
You aren't going anywhere, write whatever you need and give it to John period!!!. She look at him before going out.

She signed, because even she cannot say the reason for her cry, but one thing she know is, she don't have a parent like they do and she didn't plan life to be the way it is now especially with her cousin brother.

1:15PM
John bought all the list she send, since she's not going to pray, she start her work with zobo, fruit salad, chicken fried Rice(using basmati) and doughnuts.

She wash and chop all her veggie and cook her rice and the only thing left for her was the doughnuts and the frozen samosa,pie and spring rolls she buy.

Immediately I came back from the mosque, the house full of garlic and pepper smells. I pee to the kitchen to see her all work up. I cleared my throat to made my presence know. She look at me before getting back to her works.

I check on the beautiful cooler she arrange on the kitchen tables. I came to her side covering her with my body lending on her shoulders." The work is much, tell me what to help you with. Go and fry the snack. She nod walking aways while I roll out the doughnuts shape for her and set it in the backyard to raise. Am not that bad at kitchen work kind of doing things on my own at time.

5:00PM

After we finished, I help her clear up the mess.
"Yaya" this is the elecrican and John foods. Leave it there John will come and take it to them.

I left after a call from the electrician, I gave them the food after seeing the work done completely. The time I came back she wasn't in the kitchen, I left for my room to shower and dress myself in jeans and shirt which I normally wear on weekend, thinking about how tomorrow will be because am going back to work which I have to look for someone to stay with her or either leave her at hajiya places, which that thought I came down to her room and find her praying.

I came to the sitting room to check on the connection and set it to BBC when she came down all dress up.

"I want to go to adda's House.
I gesture my hand to her"come seat"
Was this because of adda's that you wanted and stress yourself? I see, but you didn't ask me what I want this morning! Is that how amina goal you?!

Is that how to ask a husband for permission?
Yi hakuri toh!!
Let go!!

It was a very quite driving to adda's house with my hand in yaya's plam. I did all I could to remove it, but he hold it.

He horn the gate open by their gate man. He pick the basket walking to the main door. After few knock adda came to open the door herself.

I walk in takings alamin, on what ground do I own this visit?

I see you are manipulating wife into your pocket to the extent. Don't try me.

I tell her to leave you but as it am grinding pepper to her.

Like he said not long ago, he came back and they left.
Along the way he stop and buy suya and ice cream for her.

She serve him the food after she freshing up for tonight.
Come here bit loud.
He drag her to his lap feeding her suya and yourgort till his satisfaction.
I don't know why you hate eating food, I don't like this attitude!! She twist her mouth standing up and before she know it, he beat the mouth"

After he finish eating, she pack the stuff without talking to him and made promise t sleep alone in her room today.

2:00AM

I finish my routine, thinking to check on her or no but then I again it. Going down to take water in the kitchen only to hear sound coming from her room, reaching the door for confirmation.

After touching the door lock, I hiss getting a spare from my room and unlocked it, immediately i open it she shout" wayyo ummata " laying at the end wall behind her bedside with her big hijab as always crying like a lost puppy.

I study the scaryness in her, quickly rushing to her side" it me" she wrapper her small hand around my body calling any name and prayers that is when I remember about her conversation with amiina and yesterday too which I found it silly. " it okay stand up let seat on the bed.

After Adjusting myself on the bed with head on my  chase, patting her back" are you that scare of night or darkness? Trying to have a conversation with her when I feel her heavy breathing which show her signs sleep with her face Teary up....

I said my dua blowing it over all and sleeps............................................................
