INAYA.

Chapter 12

Muhsin came back with breakfast so I didn't have to cook. Husnah has already left for school so it's just the two of us and we were ready to enjoy our time alone to the fullest.
Muhsin was already dishing out the food and I was seated on the dining table when his phone rang beside me. I looked over and it was his mom. I felt a knot in my stomach. I've felt uneasy ever since we got back.
"Who is it baby" Muhsin asked walking out of the kitchen. I quietly passed the phone to him, he looked at the phone and frowned slightly, he answered the call and put it on speaker because his hands were occupied.
"Ina kwana Mama"
{ good morning mama}
"Ban kwana lafiya ba Muhsin. Wato saboda nace inada magana da Kai in ka dawo daga Dubai shine kaje kayi zaman ka, kuma da ka dawo nan gan "
{ I didn't sleep well Muhsin, so because I told you I wanted to speak with you when you get back from Dubai that is why you refused to come back early and since you came back I've not seen you}
"Ba haka bane Mama, I've been resting since I got back I was planning on coming to visit today"
{ it's not like that mama}
"Da ka dauki matar ka da ka war ta ka tafi ce maka akayi Cinye su zanyi ne?. That's the least of my problems now, I want to see you and your wife later today"
{ you took your wife and her sister as if I will eat them}
"Toh mama, inshallah zamu zo, ba dai wani matsala bane ko?"
{okay Mama inshallah we will be there. I hope there's no problem}
"In ka zo ai zaka ji" she said and cut the call
{you will know when you come}
Muhsin looked at me wearily.
"I'm fine I swear, I am not tensed or anxious" I assured him.
"I know the look on your face baby, please don't worry about Mama it's probably nothing" he kissed my forehead.
"I am not worried, I promise" I smiled at him leaning my head on his Shoulder.
After breakfast, we showered and I made lunch. I dressed in a purple Ankara bubu. I put on my chantily veil and paired it with my black Hand bag and black shoes.
I was ready to and waiting for Muhsin, he picked Muhammad up and was taking him back home since we won't be at home and we are not sure when we will be back. I don't even know what Mama wants to talk about, she's been pressing on about this issue for a while now and I have a very bad feeling about today. I hope everything goes well.
"Let's go baby" I heard Muhsin's voice suddenly. I screamed, startled I didn't even hear him come in.
"When did you get back. I didn't even hear you walk in"
" you were so lost in your thoughts and you promised me you were not worried"
" I am not Bubba" I whined
"You look ravishing by the way" he said wiggling his eyebrows.
I smacked his shoulder "let's go, stop being silly"
I took my bag and walked to the car. Muhsin walked over to the driver's seat after opening the door for me.
We drove to his parents house, having light conversations here and there. I still couldn't get the nagging feeling off my mind.
We got there and Mama was upstairs but Abba was seated in the living room reading his newspaper.
We greeted him.
"My daughter, how are you? You look good. I hope Muhsin has been taking care of you. I know how annoying he can be" Abba said
"I am fine. You can say that again Abba" I laughed "how are you too and how is work I hope you are not stressing yourself out"
Abba and I had the best Father and Daughter relationship.
"I am doing great as you can see. Work is fine Alhamdulillah and I am definitely not stressing myself out" he answered
Muhsin coughed a bit " I am still here you know if any of you care to notice"
"We don't care, How is the bakery my dear" Abba said shrugging muhsin off. Muhsin gave him a look feigning hurt.
"The bakery is doing well, better than ever"
"I always...." Abba began but was cut off by Mama's voice.
"My son is here and nobody bothered to tell me" she walked in and gave Muhsin a side hug not even acknowledging my presence.
"I missed you so much my son"
"Ina wuni mama" he greeted her giving her a tight lipped smile.
"Lafiya, my son how have you been, Naga ka rame kana cin abinci kuwa?" She asked glaring at me.
{You've slimed down. Are you sure you are eating well?}
"I am fine and eating very well Mama" Muhsin answered.
Abba just rolled his eyes and sighed.
"Ina wuni Mama" I greeted her.
She didn't answer.
"Mama Inaya is greeting you" Muhsin said
"Naji ta ai ko sai na tashi na yi tsalle kafin ta San naji ta"
{I heard or must I jump up before she knows I heard her}
"Zainab" Abba said sternly "can you tell us why you asked them to come here if are you going to keep us here forever and I will not tolerate you treating Inayah badly, I've told you times without number, what has this girl done to deserve all this for Godsake"
Muhsin looked at me apologetically. I gave him a weak smile.
"It hasn't gotten to that Alhaji, I called both of you here to let you know that I have decided to get Muhsin another wife seeing as he is not ready to do so himself and I am not getting any younger, I need to see my grandchildren before I die" Muhsin was about to talk but she cut him off
"I have found a wife for you Muhsin, Safeerah my friends daughter"
