Then Came You (Complete)

Twenty one

He came out of the toilet wearing a white robe then headed to his closet.

The weather was cozy so he grabbed his t shirt but remembered how Raeed specifically told him not to wear any casuals. He sighed and kept it back in the drawer then proceeded to where his traditional attires were kept.

He settled in a grey almost knee length caftan with a black zanna bukar cap. He took out his cufflinks and watch from a chest drawer then went out.

Going to his dresser he applied some oils in his black curls and sprayed his oil perfume.

"I'll probably be back after Isha so you can go home when you're done with work" he said to his gardener and also gate man while wearing his sandals.

"Okay sir "

His car thankfully was brought back yesterday from repair.

Immediately he got in the car a notification came through.

'Uh hi. Wanted to let you know I'm ready. Just call me when you arrive. Okay.'

He smiled and shook his head before reversing the car and out the gate he goes.

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

He arrived few minutes later and just when he was about to call her a knock came on his window which startled him.

He got down from the car and greeted the man that was standing there.

"Ina wuni baba" he greeted.

"Ina wuni da na( good evening my son). I believe you're here for kamila right"

"Yes" he answered with his hands behind and his eyes on the interlocks.

"Why don't you come in I am sure she is still getting ready. Even though I know she's the type to not wear too much makeup. She dislikes it".

He made a soft chuckle and followed the man into the house.

They found his wife sitting on the carpeted floor cutting oranges and placing them on a saucer.

"Assalamu alaikum " he said to which she looked up.

"Wa Alaikumussalam. Ya Allah to what do I owe this visit. Sadam, you finally remembered us today ko"

"The thing is mama i-"

"I don't want to hear it" she stopped him "come and sit I'll go get kamila.

He smiled and sat a reasonable position on the floor while she went up.

"So sadam, when are you going back to Italy?"

"Well I don't know that yet but I am looking for a transfer back here since there's already a branch in Nigeria"

"Really? Which where?"

"Here in Abuja"

"Oh that's nice. You'd feel more comfortable working here. You have friends and family that'd help you out"

"Yes sir"

"Well all the best "

"Thank you very much"

And just then the princess descended down the stairs.

"Ma do I really have to wear these shoes? I'm going over to T's no need for dress up"

"Are you expecting me to allow you wear that crocs? You must be mad"

"Ma it's my birthday, I should be allowed to wear what I want right?"

Seeing that she wasn't going to stop being stubborn she released a deep breath.

"Do what ever you want. And don't talk to me again" she said with a pout and went to sit beside her husband.
