(Fauziya's Struggles)
CHAPTER SEVEN
When Fauziya came home 5days ago her mum welcomes her wholeheartedly, she was angry and happy which didn't give Fauziya time to even think of her actions, she made little effort to rectify her marriage nor did she bother to call Anas.
"Keh Fauziya won't you go back to your husband house?
You dey listen to mummy,
Good for you."Abeedah says putting on her top.
"But she says Anas had to come home and plead......
"And plead for what?
When he told you don't go out why did you leave?
You are on your own me I'm traveling today,
Do as you please."Abeedah says and adjust her top,
Fauziya just stare at her as she dress up and leave the house.
Nusaiba has gone for a school related whatsoever she's staying for two days so it's just she at home.
She missed Anas and her home but her mum said she should wait Anas sent her home so if he needs her he would come fetch her if she goes back he would not regard her, school had resume she only went once and Abeedah was the one that even paid for her transportation her mum always complaining she doesn't have money doesn't make any sense to Fauziya since everyday she must get money one way or another but what she does with the money she don't know.
Fauziya spent the day alone, she cook some spaghetti and eat with the stew, her mum travel that money to a nearby village, as the sun rise high on the sky the door to Fauziya mum apartment open gaining Fauziya attention.
"Mummy welcome."Fauziya greet and her mum answer grudgingly looking down at the plate of food.
"Where is Abeedah?"
"She has gone already."Fauziya reply and hajiya Maryam enters the bedroom.
Fauziya finish up eating and took the plate to the kitchen, she's so tired and decide to take a nap before she clean the kitchen.
The 2hours short Nap Fauziya did was helpful to her because she wakes up energetic.
There is noise from the parlor so she puts on the hijab before she exit the parlor.
"Good afternoon."she greets the unfamiliar man speaking with her mum.
"Afternoon,
How are you?"he ask and Fauziya didn't missed the unfavorable look on his face, she head for the kitchen as she heard him asking.
Is this girl also your daughter?
Fauziya cleared up the kitchen, she waited there until she hear everywhere was quiet a sign the man has leave before she exit, she dish some food again because the pregnancy always makes her have an insatiable appetite.
"You are eating again?
Have you not just eaten before you sleep,
I'm not tolerating this Abeedah that bought foodstuffs didn't buy me to feed you."her mother says and Fauziya release a heavy breath.
Hajiya Maryama sit on the couch in the parlor as she counts the money probably given to her by the man that came.
"Yawwa Fauziya,
So that is barrister Barde, you must have heard of him, he was a former House of representatives member, he wants to contest for Senate next year."her mum says and Fauziya nod.
