Its one thing for a person to deal with his family and a whole different thing to find yourself in other peoples home and your duty is to pleased them, when Fauziya salary was paid to her last month she cried because Hajiya lantana gave 5k to Linda to gave to her Fauziya protested but she was knows its all not going to make any difference, she feel sad and lonely, exhausted and confused, she thought of leaving because Ali's fastidious mum is difficult to deal with, her mental health is at stake.

"Make sure you finish the lunch before we come back because these days your laziness seems to intsified."Linda rant and exit the kitchen making Fauziya to sigh.

The kitchen door open again and she looks up.

"Bring ya Ali water."she says and fauziya sigh, it's probably more than a month since she saw Ali since the day she cried, although she heard his mum and Linda discussing about him traveling but fauziya has little knowledge of where he's been.

She grab a case of water and a glass cup she's never seen him drinking from the bottle directly and even when she took a case of water to him without cup he doesn't drink.

Exiting the kitchen she wasn't surprised to see Ali on a phone call while his wife clutch next to him like he's about to disappear.

"Sa'adatu are you sure you don't wanna come?
We are not staying long."Linda says adjusting the trouser she's wearing.

"I'm fine,
Give me the water."Sa'adatu says and fauziya hand her the case of water.

"Drop it and pour it into the cup for me."

"Okay."was all fauziya says, she uncap the case of water and was pour it into the cup, she grab it and hand it to Sa'adatu glancing at Ali their eyes met and somehow the water splashes on Sa'adatu.

"Are you blind?"Sa'adatu ask pushing the cup away from her and stand up.

"Sorry."fauziya says but Sa'adatu slapped her.

"That wasn't necessary."Ali says and his wife glance at him.

"Look at my body?
We are going somewhere from here.........

"I will take you home to change."he says and Sa'adatu hiss, fauziya stare at Ali who shakes his head and stand up.

He left with with his wife as she just stare at him, she doesn't want to be treated this way especially in Ali's presence she wants him to defend her and be able to stand for her even though nobody knows the truth at least he does and she deserved some respect from him at least, she leaves the parlor wiping her tears and clear up the kitchen, she leave through the backyard door as usual and head for the BQ it's not even up to two months since she started working here yet it feels like years, she pushed the door open and was surprised to see Ali in the parlor.

"What do you want Ali?"Fauziya ask annoyed by his presence she is so tired of him, one minutes she feels like he perhaps care about her the next feels like she's in this alone.

"Don't flatter yourself fauziya,
I'm not here for you,
Do me a favor and stop making a fool out of yourself,

"I should stop making a fool out of myself?"she repeat staring at Ali her heart hurts burning like an inferno by his words.
