"Aisha you are following me back to yola for one week." Hajja said to Aisha

"No Hajja please. I dont want to go" she replied with pleading eyes.

"Are you telling me you wont do what I ask you to do" hajja replied getting angry

"No I am not saying I wont do what you want but I promise to come some other time" aisha said pleading

"Hmm you must come. You are so stubborn but I am the queen of stubbornness. Let your father come in I am telling him"

"Hajja what will I do in yola please."

"I want to introduce you to my friend's grandchild. Its high time you start talking about marriage"

"Again about marriage" aisha muttered to herself

"What? What did you say?" Hajja asked her

"Nothing." She replied her

"Good. If you like keep talking to yourself for the whole day you must come with me better go and pack your bags."

"Where is she going?" Daddy said coming into the room

"I told her that she is coming with me to Yola but she is being stubborn." Hajja said looking at her son then grand daughter

"Ohh thats a great idea! She hasnt been there in almost two years" he replied his mother

"Your father says you are going better start parking. We are leaving tomorrow in shaa Allah"

"But you didn't tell him why I am following you" she said to her grandmother

"I want her to meet my friend's grandson" hajja said nonchalantly

He laughed before he replied his mother "as you wish mother." he turned to Aisha giving her an assuring smile

"Daddy please! I promise to go there after this semester" Aisha said to her father

"The sallah break is still not over. You can go there for a week. It wont kill" he said

"Okay Alright. You win Hajja. I am going with you. Let me go and start packing" with that she left the room.

She went downstairs to the room where mummy kept all the traveling bags in. She picked a medium sized bag before she went back to her room.

She packed some few clothes and nighties before she decided to call Khaleel.

"Hello" she said sounding off as he picked the call

"Love are you okay? You sound off" he said immediately

"Well apparently I am traveling to Yola tomorrow with my grandma" she said

"Is that why you are upset?

"Yes that is why I am upset"

"You are being a baby. I would kill to spend time with my grandmother" he said trying to console her

"And even daddy agrees with her. I am so angry"

"Daddy said you should go then you should. How many days are you spending there?"

"One freaking week" she heard him giggle
