Kill The Goose That Lay The Golden Egg

Chapter 9

Sumayya Hugged Farida tight to say Good bye, Kulthum came in with Shatuh their step sister and say their Good byes as well. Madassir came and took Farida home. The ride was fun , they both chat about interesting stuffs, She even jokingly told him that she will soon stop seeing him cause she will be getting married " come on I know you are joking " " OK let's take it as a joke if you say so" Farida left Mudassir Entering to her house she saw Some men in their 50's Sitting in the garden, the faces are new to her so she couldn't understand who are they and what they want, although she knew someone from inside might have attend to them " Salam Alaykum" she said as she walked pass them " Walaykum Salam"  they responded with smiles on their Faces. "Sister am glad you are here"  Adeela held Farida hand sounding all worried " what's wrong, who are these men and where is Mams? "  " oh Mams left an hour after you leave, they said they were Mams colleague before she retired, I offered them a sit in the garden because they ate strangers I can't just bring them into the room " "yes you are very correct Adeela, let me go and ask them if they need anything"  Farida went back to the garden to ask if the two men needed anything  " Salam, I am aware that you are here a while ago and our grandmother is still not here, sorry for keeping you waiting " " its OK Farida?" The other man called her by her name not sure if she is really the Farida "Yes Alhaji, but how do you know my name,  sorry  I don't mean to be rude" " Oh Alhaji Kabiru, the young girl doesn't know" turning to look at The other man who called Riri by her name " its True Alhaji Abbas the girl doesn't know" " Um Yallabai, I don't get what" Farida was just confused  about what the two men were saying, " oh my God"  she said in her mind, butterflies suddenly began partying in her stomach " could they be Anwar's relatives , OMG maybe his uncles" but she knew he wasn't going to send his relatives for the marriage arrangement this soon without even informing her, this is just so unusual " Calm down Young lady" Alhaji Abbas said " Yauwa there your Grandmother is  " Salam Hajiya Salamatul"  " Ah Alhaji Kabiru, I thought you will be coming in the Evening, what a surprise Visit" She looked into Farida's eyes giving her signs to go in, Farida left them in the Garden worried and nervous , she just wish she could ask her Grand mother who they were " Or should I just call Anwar to confirm" Rubbing her cheeks " Oh my Gosh lemme just wait for Mams"   " Farida!" Her grandmother shouted seeming like she have been talking to her seconds ago but she was busy in thought " OK they already left"  " Yes and who are they"  " That is Malam Kabiru and Malam Abbas, Malam Kabiru have been giving Me a marriage offer for you" "God forbid I can't marry this old man" Farida said out of frustration " No not him please, we wanted to arrange Marriage between you and his son who is presently in the Nigeria's Defense Academy but inshaa Allah he will be passing out next week so he came to remind me " Oh mams, their visit almost send me to my grave" remembering how she felt earlier thinking the two men were her future in-laws, well they could also be her future in-laws but she would have act more nicely and matured if its from Anwar's side " Mams what about Anwar ? " the Grandmother smiled" " Well my child , you are not so Cheap OK, feel your self, and feel that you are worth fighting for, for now you are like a needle in a water, only the lucky one gets you "  Farida smiled blushing taking her grandmother's decision and saying always the Best
