Burnt Embers

Chapter Seventeen

*

" Here comes the drama queen with her latest act " kaybee said clapping his hands .

" Ya kaybee by chance , I mean any slight chance have you disowned me ?" Nabeeha asked still standing by the door .

" How can I disown my baby sister, am sorry sissy ,I know why you're pissed but I didn't tell you because you're writing your exams and I don't wanna distract you ,sorry ! " Replied kaybee holding the tip of his ears .

" You're highly welcome Sis let me help you with your luggage " Khadijah cut into their conversation ambulating towards where Nabeeha was standing .

" Hang it madam, I am angry at you too for not telling me , this house is too small to contain the two of us when I start unleashing my wrath on you two " Nabeeha said pointing at kaybee first then Khadijah .

It took a lot of effort and Ummie's intervention before Nabeeha finally stopped ranting and went into the house ,telling the duo it's not over and she will retaliate in the most inhumane way possible .

She was carried away by the twins which gave Khadijah the time to prepare something for her .

" Doctor , have some food I have missed you " D said putting down the tray .

" Hmm, I don't want to hear anything like you've missed me D. How could you gang up with Ya kaybee and not tell me he is in town ?" She pouted .

" By Allah I did not know that you're unaware he's in town and we haven't talked for a while but am sorry ." D apologized .

" I know you're a good pikin ,it's Ya kaybee that's the bad guy, I forgive you D but on one condition " Nabeeha said with an evil grin .

" What is your condition?" Knowing Nabeeha too well, she knows that she has planned on something evil .

" say, what's Ya kaybee doing in Kano instead of Abuja ?I know that our folks are not in the country but still he can manage, I can manage too, just wanted to come see my angels and the new house " Nabeeha stated feigning to be innocent .

In reality, it was mommy that told Nabeeha to come and observe things for her and Nabeeha being a devious human being joined force with Zee to investigate and give mommy the full and comprehensive report when she comes back .She just hope that Ya Kaybee will stay long for the mission to be executed.

She will be more than happy to have her broken best brother and broken best and only cousin sister together to mend each other, they both deserve the best not the kind of spouses they had lived with .

They have already put their plan in action when she was en route and now she is waiting for her alter ego to come .

" I don't know the answer to that Nabeeha ,you can ask Ya kaybee he's in the best position to tell you why " with that Khadijah left Nabeeha with mouth hanging trying hard not to believe that D just used that tone on her .

With an evil laugh she dug into her food, telling herself that the moment Zee arrives they will uncover the mystery and solve the puzzle .

Zee did not come until the next day and by that time Nabeeha had already gotten 30% of the information needed .She scrutinize every movement between the two, everything they do did not go unnoticed by her .The other night, she insisted that they should watch a romantic movie on purpose asking them what their favorite scene is and what not, she's craving to get the full details of Baba's promotion and the divorce but she forced herself to be patient, all those should wait, now her main focus is the two emerging love birds .

" Assalamu alaikum! Subhanallah !!! Who am I seeing like Dr Nabeeha??" Zee squealed the moment she spotted Nabeeha in the living room .

" Zee twinny, Gwaaad I missed you " Nabeeha said giving her a bear hug .
