💧💧💧💧💧💧💧💧💧💧💧💧💧

The ride back home was so quiet..the twins sobbing and yaya Muhammad was all tensed up in front of the steering wheels, i could not even bring myself to talk but strangely that man did not give me the wrong vibes..i kinda trusted him immediately he spoke.. He radiated some kind of aura with him that made me feel comfortable around him..it was weird but comforting at the same time, i had not felt this way since after the death of zahradeen even with yaya Muhammad...it was kinda scary.

We reached the house and we got out of the car quietly yaya Muhammad on the lead and me trailing right behind with the twins..we entered the parlour and i sent the twins to their rooms..we needed to have a talk...why was he worked up like this..i never wanted him to be embarrassed.. They were kids for God sake..

"Look yaya Muhammad.. I did not..."

"No need to apologize"..he cut me off..

Oookay...why was he like this?..

Mummy came down giving me the stink eye..."why do i find it weird that you guys went out and look more quiet?"

"Nothing mummy..we are on talking break"..i spoke

"Dont tell me that..the twins are in their room sleeping with faces dried with tears..did you beat them"..

"No mummy..i did not"..i spoke..

"Mamah..i should be on my way..some urgent work just came up..i need to be in kano so am leaving..and regarding what we spoke about..mama please can you give us more time there is something am actually working on so after am done we can face this matter square in the face"..

Ok..whats wrong with him..why was he lying through his teeth..

"Ok..no problem..take care and drive safe..my regards to anty"..

He proceeded to leave without a goodbye from me nor the twins..i needed to do something..

"I am ready mummy..i am ready to get married to muhammad"..i spoke..he stilled and turned his face evident with..surprise, joy or was it shock..i could see him working up a grin..suddenly i was shy

"Alhamdulilah..ko kefa..let me call anty..am so happy right now"..mummy left the sitting room and went upstairs..

He came closer to me and whispered.."why did you do it..i told you i would not force you"..

"I figured out that life is not full of roses..i should not be selfish and jeopardize the future of my children just because i was not ready i shouldn't be blind to see the person who truly loves me and is ready to give me his all for both me and my kids..you made me realize this, i have been blinded almost throughout my life..am sorry for that"..i bowed my head..

He looked like he was going to hug the crap out of me.."hanan..you just made me the happiest man on earth right now..i am so glad we finally accepted it..am gonna start making preparations right now.."

I could see him reluctant to leave but he had to, to avoid looking like a total liar..

He smiled a genuine smile and left..

I looked towards the twins room..i hoped i have made the right decisions for them..i sighed and proceeded to my room to call salmah..i need to keep her updated..this night was going to be sooo long..

Unknown pov

The house i stopped was none other than the house of Abdurahman maina...i was so happy right now..i have not felt like this since the death of my noor and her mother..

I needed to know who she was....they looked so happy..like a perfect family, a tinge of jealousy surfacing..last thing i want was to fall in love with a married woman..i needed to know more about her..stalker mode activated..

The night was peaceful since i lost my beloved family..i slept all through without any nightmares..tomorrow held lots of promises..

The next morning i drove to work all smiling and happy..
I literally skipped to my office..i was earning stares from people they probably thought i had finally lost it because i was known as the grumpy boss for those who did not know me before the incident that took away my joy..when i reached my private receptionist.. I smiled at her..i could see her tensing up, the poor girl probably thought i was going to fire her..i stopped beside her and spoke..

"Evelyn you know what..you can take take the day off..you clearly need it"

The poor girl began to cry..like literarily.."am so sorry sir..i was just five minutes late it was the nyanya traffic jam..it would never repeat itself..i have a sick mother and a brother in school please dont fire me"..she rambled

Oookay..this was so hilarious.. The poor girl thought i was going to fire her..i broke into another fits of laughter..the girl sobbed louder..now this was going to stop..

"Will you get a hold of yourself..who mentioned anything about firing you..English this days is hard to comprehend..i said take the day off meaning you can go home and rest..tomorrow you can come back besides i cant afford to loose such a diligent secretary as yourself"....

"Really sir"..she looked skeptical..

"Yes..or do i need to say it in French"..

"No sir..thank you sir"..she stood up cleaning her face with the tissue on the table..she started packing..

I couldn't blame her though..the longest conversation i had held with her was.."bring me file number 1022"..i proceeded to enter my office but stopped..i dipped my hands into my pocket and brought out a wad of notes..i did not even count it.."here..give this to your mother and brother and tell them i said hi"..

She knelt down and started thanking me profusely..crying and giving me blessing.. I just nodded and entered my office..

Now back to business..i needed information about that girl..something was telling me she wasn't married and i prayed it to be so..i picked up my phone and dialed a number i had not dialed in ages..zakari was like the most active person i know..lets just say he knows a lot of people.. He was my little private investigator..

"Hello..yes..yes..dont bother me with your blabbing..i need you to carry out something for me..there is a girl in Alhaji Abdurahman Maina house..yes the judge..i need to know everything about her pronto"..i hit the end button before he could disturb me with his blabbing..i sighed and proceeded for the days work hoping better things to come..

After like two hours zakari called me back..

"Yes..go on..spill it.."

After he finished..i was happy and sad at the same time..her name was halima and she had two kids..they have to be those twins i saw..her husband was dead and that was a relief..not to sound strange, may his soul rest in piece..but what was really bothering me was that guy..he has to be her fiance or something because of the way he was looking at her..i needed to do some visitation...
