Muhsin left for work and I decided to go and check on Sweet Tooth, my bakery. It's been a while since I've been there. My mom and sister help me keep an eye on the bakery since they are closer to it than I am.
I took a shower and got dressed in an orange Ankara boubou. I texted Muhsin, letting him know that I was going out.
~Hi love, will be going to sweet tooth and then Mamie's place~
~Okay then, Take care of yourself and my regards to Mamie and Husnah~ Mamie is my amazing Mom and Husnah my not so amazing sister.
I smiled at his text. The driver was already in the car waiting for me when I got out. I stepped in to the car and he drove off.
Once we got to sweet tooth, I walked to the managers office, checked our record books and moved to my office. I had a lot of things to do.
The chef had perfected our brownie recipe and listed a few desserts he suggests we add to the menu. He brought in some samples and I picked 5 that I knew everyone will love. I also had appointments with clients for custom cakes and desserts.
15 clients and a lot of paperwork later, I was exhausted. I called Husnah to ask if they were home.
I walked over to the house, it was really that close. The moment I got there I was greeted by Husnah's bear hug. I smiled and hugged her back.
"I've missed you so much darling" I said still hugging her
She hit me on my shoulder "You just forgot about Mamie and I. Do you know how hard it has been without you?" She said wiping her fake tears. As you can tell she is a drama queen. It's only been 5 days since I last came to see them.
"Stop being so dramatic where is Mamie?" I asked
"She's in her room let's go I have so much to tell you"
We walked to Mamie's room with her filling me up on her latest episode in school.
Mamie was on her bed taking on the phone with whom I believe is a business partner.
You see Mamie is a business woman, she owns chains of restaurants across the country and she does catering for events. I got my passion for food and business from her.
Since Dad died when we were little Mamie has been doing all she can to make sure we live the best life.
"Mamie" I shouted hugging once she got off the phone.
"Inayah. How are you?"
"I'm fine, How are you. I hope you are not stressing yourself out?"
Mamie tends to overwork herself and it's not good for her health.
"No I'm totally fine. Yaya da na? Kinda Kula mun da shi ko?" How is my son, I hope you are taking care of him.
"Your son is fine. And I'm taking good care of him" I smile at her. My Mom and Muhsin have the most amazing mother and son relationship.
"That's good. How is sweetheart tooth. I looked at your reports a few days ago. The business is growing you should start thinking of expanding"
"I've been thinking of that for a while now. I just need a better location"
"You could always take the place we recently moved from. It's a big space it will be enough for you and we still have 6months of rent left"

"Thank you Mamie" I beamed "I will talk to Muhsin and then the agent and we will begin redesigning"

"Let's just hope your mother in law doesn't get a heart attack. Because you don't seek her permission before doing things" Husnah said

"That's her problem not mine. She should know by now that I don't need her permission to do anything. The only people I need permission from is my husband and Mamie"

"I hope she is not giving you any trouble?" Mamie asked
"That witch will always bring trouble" Husnah answered.
"Husnah! Stop that. None of you should call her names and you have to respect her no matter what"
"Okay Mamie" husnah said mumbling something under her breath. I know Husnah she will never stop calling her a witch. May be just not in front of Mamie. I smiled slightly for only husnah to see.
"It's nothing I can't handle" I said to Mamie
"If she gets too over bearing tell me and I will personally go to her house and knock some sense into her"
"I know the doctors said we are both fine but I just can't help but feel it's my fault sometimes"

"Don't say that baby. You will have a child of your own soon Inshaallah I feel it"

"I hope so Mamie, I really do because I am getting tired of the insults"

"Oh! Sis, everything will be fine" husnah said Hugging me "Mamie is traveling to Turkey for a while so I will come stay with you if that's okay with you"

"I would really appreciate that" I grinned widely

"Okay then I will there by Saturday inshallah"
"I can't wait" I exclaimed "I need to tell Muhsin God! I'm so excited"

"You and Muhsin are literally inseparable Allah dai ya barku tare" may Allah keep you together always. Husna smiled
"Ameen. Husnah" Mamie said.

"What did you cook today husnah?" I asked

"Nothing. We ate out"

"I'm hungry make something for me. Something spicy please. Preferably potato porridge"

"Lallai ko indomie ba. I am making spicy noodles for you"
"Tashi ki yi mata abun da take so" go and make what she wants. Mamie said to her
I turned to look at her grinning "tashi karki bata mun Lokaci" stand up and go. Don't waste my time.
She walked out grumbling. Mamie and I laughed loudly as she walked out
"Nima zan Rama" she shouted for us to hear
