Abuja Nigeria
Guzape.

Kayla glanced at Mujahid and then Farida.
She shook her head.
Kayla regret asking both of them to get married because ever since she said that to Farida and Mujahid, things have changed in the house.
Mujahid and Farida barely talk to each other unless in the morning, or when Farida prepare food or wanted to leave for work.

Kayla, tried her best to get them together but the task was a very tough one for her.
Kayla grimace, she drop the spoon on the plate stand up and storm out of the dining.

Are you done eating? Farida ask Mujahid.
Yes. Mujahid muttered curtly.
Farida stand up and take the used plates to the kitchen.

She has been acting strange since we arrived at Abuja. Mujahid muttered inwardly.
He stand up and head towards the kitchen.
Mujahid walk in.
Farida, can we talk? Mujahid asked.
Yes, Farida muttered rinsing the plates.

Are you alright? You have been acting strange since we arrived at Abuja.
Is there something bothering you? Do you care to share with me? Maybe I will be of help. Mujahid muttered.
No, it's nothing. I'm sorry for giving you cold treatment. Farida muttered.
Can I go to my room? Farida ask Mujahid.

Mujahid nod his head and shifted for her.
Farida, can I take you out today? Mujahid ask.
Farida halt in her track and muttered okay.
She storm out of the kitchen leaving Mujahid wondering why she's acting weirdly.

Mujahid head to Kayla's bedroom.
He knock then walk in.
Kayla, are you also avoiding me? Why are you all giving me cold treatment in the house? First, it was Farida and now, you.
Why are you lying down in your room with a monotonous expression on your face?

Kayla sit up and blink at her father.
Kayla, when did you start hiding things from me? I will not take this stupid behaviour from you. You are still a child. What is bothering you that you can't tell me? Mujahid muttered sternly.

Daddy, do you love me? Kayla asked blinking back her tears.
Mujahid arch a confused brow at her.
Kayla, why are you asking me this? Mujahid muttered.
You haven't answered my question. Kayla muttered.
Kayla, I don't know what has gotten over you, or what nonsense thought you have in your head that made you think I don't love you.

You are my daughter. Why should I hate you? If I didn't love you, I would have been treating you badly and will throw you out of my house with your mother. Mujahid muttered.
Daddy, You have changed. You yell at me over little things. You easily get angry with me.
You barely smile with me buy daily gifts for me, take me to the park or give me your phone to play with.
You stop singing lullaby to me before I sleep, you don't tell me the stories you always tell me every night.

You barely remind me to chant my Azkhar. You and Aunt Fari are acting like strangers in the house.
I want a happy family but both of you are making the home a hell for me.
It's so boring staying with you two.
Laiba is happy with her family.
Daddy, Since you enrol me in school, you ask about my academics just once.
You don't care if I do my assignment or not.

Do you know how your New change has affected me? Daddy, I will soon be six years old. I'm growing every day and realizing some things.
I'm sorry if what I said to you and Aunt Fari is the reason both of you are treating me this way.
I should have known it was a bad idea to ask you to marry each other. Kayla muttered with a sniff.
