Aishatu's Pov

My mother-in-law will be coming over today. My husband has gone to his father's house to pick her up.
I finish cleaning my bedroom and the toilet then I stride out of my bedroom to prepare lunch before my mother-in-law arrives.

I don't need to clean my husband's room because he hasn't slept in his bedroom since we got married but mine.
Our wedding is two weeks today and we haven't consummated our marriage. I don't know what always makes me stop my husband anytime he tries to make a move. Maybe I'm not ready for it.

I walked to the kitchen and brought out everything I would use to prepare semolina.
I rinse the pot with water and put a large quantity of water into the pot because I want to prepare enough food and take some to my father-in-law.

Abdul, your father proposed to me. Hajiya Halimah muttered.
He told me. AbdulHamid muttered with a smile.
Your father has no secret. Why will he tell you what transpires between me and him? Hajiya Halimah muttered a bit upset.

I'm his Son. He can't keep it away from me. Mama, what was your reply? Did you agree to marry him? AbdulHamid ask his Mom while driving home.
I accept his proposal but I don't know if his wife will be okay with it. Hajiya Halimah muttered worriedly.

Mama, you are marrying my Dad, not his wife. AbdulHamid muttered.
Okay, Son. Hajiya Halimah muttered.
AbdulHamid reach his house and the gateman open the gate for him.
He drove inside and parked his car in the parking lot.
He strides out of the car and open the door for his mom.

AbdulHamid helps Hajiya Halimah take her luggage out.
They walk to the porch and twist the doorknob.
Abdul, your house is beautiful. Hajiya Halimah muttered admiringly.

I was frying chicken when my husband walked in.
He hugged me from behind and kissed me on my reveal shoulder.
Welcome, Qalb. I muttered turning the chicken in the oil.

Where is Mama? I ask my husband.
She is in the living room. My husband muttered burying his face in the crook of my neck.
Qalb, please help me finish frying the chicken let me greet Mama. I muttered.
My husband collects the frying spoon from me.
I take off the apron and rinse my hand then stride out of the kitchen.

Welcome, Mama. I muttered immediately I entered the living room.
I walk to her and squat Infront of her.
Aisha, how are you? My mother-in-law ask me.
I'm fine. I muttered.
Mama, let me check the food I'm cooking. I muttered and saunter out of the living room.

Is Mama going to stay here with us? I ask my husband immediately I enter the kitchen.
Yes, hope you are okay with it. I'm sorry I forgot to inform you first. I don't want her to stay in my father's house. Abbah's wife doesn't like her and Mama is not his wife so it's not proper that she will be staying in that house with Abbah. My husband muttered.

I'm okay with it. I muttered.
I read stories and also heard how some mother-in-laws treat their daughter-in-law when they are staying in the same house. I pray mine won't be like that. I muttered inwardly.

I and my husband prepare chicken soup and okra.
I package Abbah's own in a food flask.
I will take it to him later. My husband muttered.
He help me take the food flask to the dining.
I take the plates and cups, bottles of water and pineapple smoothie I prepare for my husband. He loved it.

I arrange them on the tray and saunter out of the kitchen. I take them to the dining and arrange them on the table.
I walk to my mother-in-law.
Mama, let's go to the dining and eat. I said to her and she followed me to the dining room.
