"What?"I ask the moment Ya Yasir and Zainab walk out.
Yusuf just smiles looking at me. I know it's very shocking but obviously things between my brother and his wife aren't going well.
"That's all in the past besides she's not the one I'm married to and I'm not the man she's married to".
"How long were you two together?"
He huffs "It was just a year and we both moved on quickly".
"Was she the one who left you? Huh?"
He looks at me surprised and fascinated "Are you jealous?"
"And if I am?"
"It's kinda cute" he replies with a smirk.
"Whatever" I say leaving his room blushing.

"Welcome!" I shout when I see Kaka and Mama to signal Yusuf that they're here already.
"You've never been this excited to see me your whole life" Mama says excitedly.
I smile.
"Welcome". Yusuf says when he walks in and sits across the old women.
"How are you feeling?" Kaka asks.
"I'm fine Alhamdullilah, it's all thanks to my wife".
Kaka turns and looks at me "He couldn't have been any luckier".
I smile.
I suddenly remembered Laila, she was supposed to come with them.
"Mama, what about Laila?"
She looks at me confused.
"Maryam said you changed your mind and you wanted her to come instead".
That girl!
"Then where is she?"
"She's at your aunt's place, she said she'd stay with Halima for a while".
"Okay then, I'll go call her".
I leave the living room and immediately call Aunt Halima.
Anty?
Khadijah how are you?
I'm fine alhamdullilah.
What about Yusuf?
He's better Alhamdullilah. I called to ask if Maryam is there.
I knew it, no one knew she'd be here right?
Yes. Can you send her here?
I know the perfect person.
Thank you so much.
You're welcome.
Bye.
I end the call.
I'm afraid Maryam will kill me one day.
"Why don't you just send her to Uncle Nura?" Yusuf asks startling me.
"You scared me" I let out a heavy breath before what he said actually processed in my head.
I look up at him smiling "That's perfect. He moulded Tahir and Samira so I'm sure he can teach Maryam a thing or two about being a normal human being".
"Yes" he smiles "Anyway they want to leave and they said they want to talk to us about something important".
"Okay then".
•
I open the door and gasp.
"Hello Dee".
I hug him "Ibro I didn't know you were in Kaduna".
He comes in and sits, I excitedly and hurriedly get him a cold drink. Ibrahim has always been like my legs and Laila my back home when I was back home. He always finds a way to make me feel a lot better.
"So what are you doing in Kaduna?" I asked eager actually almost jumping.
"I came to see hanan".
"Wait you two are still dating?"
"Khadijah I told you she's the one" He replied.
"Where is maryam?"
I asked remembering her existence.
"Dijah that girl is getting worse by the day fah, she's outside and apparently she is angry because I collected all her phone and laptop" he replied obviously irritated.
He gets up to leave.
"I will be going back to Abuja now" he says getting up.
"At least stay the night, you can leave early tomorrow morning".
"I wanted to take care of a few things tomorrow morning"
"Please" I pout.
He sighs "Fine".
I jump excited "Then wait right here I'll go tell Yusuf"
After calling Yusuf and telling him I enter my room to rest a bit, I was feeling a slight headache only to meet Maryam watching on my laptop.
"Hey hey, yaya uncle Mustapha is in the parlor apparently uncle Nura sent him"
"Good where are your things?" I ask smiling
"They are still in Ya Ibrahim's car."
I leave the room. Everyone was outside Yusuf, Ibrahim and Mustafa, they already loaded her things in Mustafa's car.
"Mustapha it's been a long time, how are you?" I asked.
"I'm great, thanks and how about you? How's all the hassle?"
I laugh "We thank god"
"Where is she?"
"Maryam?! Maryam!!" I shout out.
"I'm coming, what is it?" She asks when she comes out.
"You are going with Mustafa to uncle Nura's house i need you to collect something for me".
"Here have your phone" she gives me my phone "At least tell Ya Ibrahim to give me my phone".
He gives hands it to her.
"Thank you" she says giddily.
"Let's go" Mustafa says getting in the car.
"I'll see you all later". She flies me a kiss before she gets in the passengers seat.
"She doesn't know what she's about to go through" Ibrahim says.
"Well she will thank you two one day" Yusuf says before he enters the house.
"Movie marathon?" Ibrahim asks.
"Of course" I jump.
