A second house maid was brought to the house, fauziya was relief at least she won't be the only person to do all the chores, it's been 3 days and she can't say they would get along but nonetheless she's happy not doing all the chores,
First Sunday of the month and Ali's mum and Linda usually go to the church the new maid who's named is Jessica went with them that morning leaving fauziya to do the basic chores.
She was done with the dishes and was cleaning the kitchen island when the kitchen door open, she turn and was surprised to see it's Ali which makes her to glance at the wall clock,
7:20a.m certainly it's too early.
"Good morning."she greets without turning from what she's doing.
"Morning."he reply staring at fauziya unlike other days whereby she goes around with those long hijab today he was surprised to see her on a simple floral gown with a drop shoulder sleeve.
"What do you want?"fauziya ask uncomfortable by how Ali was staring at her and turn from what she is doing, his eyes automatically switch to the plunging neckline of her clothes and she adjust it making him to look up at her then chuckle making her to raise a questionable brow at him.
"Why were you adjusting your clothes as if I'm some perverted person."he ask folding his hand to his chest, he comes this morning purposely to see fauziya he find himself always thinking about her and he knows his mum and sister never missed the first Sunday of the month services so he took advantage of it and leave telling sa'adatu he has something to do at the office very early and would come back ASAP because he didn't even freshen up.
"Come."he says reaching his hand out for fauziya and she looks down at his hand then back to his face.
"What do you want Aliyu?"She says turning back to the faucet with a bashful smile on her face.
"Aliyu?
You don't have respect only my dad calls me that since he died nobody not even my mum call me Aliyu."he says smiling as he walk to where she's standing.
"But I forgive you."he says grabbing her by the hand and turn her so she would face him.
"What do you want?
What are you even doing here early this morning,
Where is your wife?"fauziya ask staring at him and he shake his head releasing a deep breath.
"See my wife with me here,
Or aren't you my wife?"he ask removing the veil on her head making her to quickly grab it, he's curious wanting to know how lengthy is fauziya's hair.
"Stop it."she says pushing him away from her with a hiss and reach out to grab her veil from him but he hide it behind him making her to sigh.
"Please."she says exhausted touching her head with a sigh, if anything fauziya hates leaving her hammad open, she doesn't like it at all.
"Why?"Ali ask staring at her hair admiringly, he admire lengthy hair on ladies, he likes it is something he's always want in his woman and Sa'adatu's hair is long stops below her neck but nothing compared to FAUZIYA's he's amazed,
FAUZIYA's hair tied in a bun but looks really full so he uses his hand and quickly loss it making her to sigh.
