Nurain
We just got back from Kano and Asaal has been displaying quite some nasty attitude, I don't know what her problem is, i know I didn't do anything in Kano to upset her, she was with my cousins and I was going to the Kano office for work, so what did I do? I entered the room and sat down on the bed, she was arranging my wardrobe

"Asi we need to talk" i said
"I'm busy" she mumbled
"You're what? I'm serious" i said
She turned to look at me
"Now" I said with all seriousness in my voice
She stood up and stood by the door
"Yes?" She asked still with her attitude
"Did I do something wrong in Kano?" I asked calmly
She kept quiet, I looked at her
"I'm talking to you, answer me" I said
She raised her brow and looked at me
"Don't look at me like that, if you can't tell me what I did so that I can apologize or fix it, then don't give me an attitude" I said
"Attitude? Are you trying to complain about my attitude?" She asked
"Yes, you've been giving me an attitude and I don't like it" I said
"If you don't like it then don't do  things that'll bring it up" She said
I put my head down and let out a frustrated sigh
"I'm telling you I have no idea, tell me what I did, communicate, let me fix the problem" I said
She crossed her arms and hissed
"There you go! Back with the attitude! Will it kill you to talk to me?!" I snapped
"Yes it would" she said
"Fine then! Keep on with attitude, I won't force you to speak!" I shouted then I left the room for her and went to the living room, I sat down to watch a show to calm myself down, her attitude is starting to get out of hand I'm tired, I was in the living room till it was maghrib time, I went to the mosque in the estate and came back, I continued watching my show till isha time, I went to the mosque again and came back, now I was using my phone, then I felt her hands on my shoulders, then she kissed my cheek from the back, her hair was down, she knew what she was doing, she knew my weakness, she finally came and stood in front of me, she was wearing her red and black pyjamas trouser, with a black tank top, and she smelt really good, I pretended to continue using my phone, she stood in between my legs and collected my phone, then she sat down on my laps, facing me and her hands round my neck, I looked at her

"I'm sorry" she said
"I don't think you get it, it's not about the sorry, you just don't communicate with me and it's not fair" i said
"And that's why I'm saying sorry, I was showing you attitude cause I wanted the attention, you didn't give me any attention in Kano" she said
Then I laughed
"All that for attention?" I asked
She nodded her head
Then I put my hands round her waist
"I'm sorry for the attitude too, I didn't mean it too" she said, she was close to my face now
This is the most intimate we've gotten since we moved in, she kissed me, and I kissed her back, pulling her closer to me, I kissed her neck down to the top of her boobs, she was breathing heavily, I looked at her and she looked at me, with her doe eyes, I gently took off her tank top, she was in her bra and her trousers, just when I was about to carry her, my phone started ringing, we tried to ignore it but the person called again, I checked and it was baba, we both looked at each other
"Answer it, maybe it's urgent" she said
I let out a frustrated sigh and i answered
"Hello baba Ina wuni" i said
"Ina wuni, where are you?" He asked
"At home, why?" I asked
"I need you over at the house now, inform your siblings, none of them are at home" he said
"Okay baba, is everything okay?" I asked
"No time to explain-
Then I heard shouting at the background, then the call ended, Asaal got up, putting her tank top on
"Get dressed, we have to go to the house, I don't know I think there's something going on" I said
She nodded her her head and quickly went upstairs, just when things were about to get perfect, I texted the family group chat, where it was just, me, Asaal, Salmaa, Ruqaya, Ihsaan, sultan, Na'eem and Faruk. Asaal came downstairs in a black abaya and Her bag, we quickly left the house, then Sultan called
"What happened?" Sultan asked
"I don't know baba called and I heard shouting at the background, he said he needs all of us now" I said
"We'll be there in 5" sultan said
"See you there" i said
"In Sha Allah everything is okay" Asaal said
"In Sha Allah" I said
We got to the house and they opened the gate for us, just right behind us a black gmc came in, I guess it's Su salmaa, we got down from the car
"Ina Sultan da Faruk?" Salmaa asked
"Most likely they're in" i said
We quickly went inside the house and got to living room, Umma was seated down beside Faruk crying, baba no where to be found, and then the devil's themselves, Auntie Ayi, Auntie Adama and my stepmother, Auntie Khadija, Na'eem, Usman and Faruks mom, I see she's back from America
"What's going on? Why is umma crying?" Na'eem asked
