In time yaya come down taking her to see the house.

We wait for their car before heading inside. I remove the hijab taking a seat on the ground facing him.
Uhm' what on your mind tell me! I laughed. Uhm,why is jamal taking them? Because I ask dije whether there's anything going on between them but she said no and it seem like things will be hard for him.
Because he's taking it uncle along the way to seek for her parent permission.
But I don't think dije knows!
Goggo said she will talk to the parent on her behalf.
Okay!
