Khadeejah rested the glass cup on the table and stared back at Sagir once again,again;she began to wonder what he was doing here_and what they needed to talk about.

They had spent the last couple of months bickering and picking on each other__him being bossy and showing only bumptious attitude _and khadeejah being the lady with an unrelenting attitude.

She was rather stunned with the recent change of his attitude towards her,for she didn't know empathy or compassion to be his strongest traits _if anything he had always been Silent and incredibly unkind towards her_or rather they'd been unkind to each other.

Khadeejah swallowed yet another lump in her throat and shifted uncomfortably on the sofa.

All the while Sagir was watching her movements intently as he sat on the other end of the sofa.

"Can I ask again?"

Sagir searched her face tentatively before nodding in agreement.

"Why are you here?shouldnt you be in South Africa,"?_khadeejah started_"isn't that the reason why we got married before the the planned date,which was after Ramadan?"she completed,finding the courage to look into his eyes.

A small chuckle escaped his lips before he cleared his throat ,and explained the sudden change in his Assignment_and about his new Assignment in Maid,which was in two weeks time.

"Where will you like to stay after I left for Maiduguri "?would you like to stay at my personal house?or you'd prefer staying at Ummah's?"

Khadeejah didn't know what to think _!
"At Ummah's"she replied .

"I cannot just go with you to Maiduguri,until after I see how things go_probably a week or two weeks after I left,depending on the situation.Tahir is taking his wife too."Sagir sounded.

Khadeejah didn't know what to make out of all his explanations.,and she didn't know what to think.

"You know the last time I was with zainab,the night of the wedding Fatiha,she had talked to me about the fact that we are now husband and wife,and that we should learn to get along,even for the sake of Family "!and after zainabs murder,it's a trying time to all of us_and i know how this must be really hard for you.

Khadeejah played with the ring on her finger as she analyzed what he had just said.

"The last thing I need is you feeling sorry for me,besides I feel like I hardly even know you "

Sagir's eyes hardened "I don't feel sorry for you khad,zainab was my sister too,and I came here because,whether you liked it or not,we are going to be in each other's life!,I know I made things really hard for you from the beginning ,but this is not courtship anymore _we are married!!!"he finished.

Khadeejah stared at him to read his expression,searching for any indication that he was lying and there was nothing she could figure out.he was a mystery.

"I am sorry about all the crying,I have just been expecting the worst out of everything lately __nothing has actually gone right for me the past couple of months."khadeejah stated almost sobbing .

Sagir scooted closer,"I know khad,and I am not here to make things worst for you "

Few minutes passed as they sat in silence,occasionally staring at each other.khadeejah couldn't believe that she was actually having a civil conversation with Ya-Sagir__she just couldn't believe it.
