My Deen MY PROFESSION

22

11 months later

Things were going smoothly between me and kabir. We all have returned back to work. Kabir got be a car as my birthday gift.

5months ago I opened my law firm and foundation which is basically formed to get justice for women and children who have been abused or rapped. This have been one of my basic reason for studying law in the first place. I handle cases of woman who have been divorced without course etc ABBA, kabir my dad and sister have been very supportive expect umma I dont know what the problem was. Anytime we meet she gave me some attitudes and she never welcomed me like before everything between me and umma just fall apart. Kabir too notice that and always encourage me to be patience about it.

I was in the office working on the rap case when I received a call from umma informing me she will be coming over to our house for weekend tomorrow. I was very happy thinking umma must have forgotten and forgiven me if she could make decision of coming to my house.

I quickly finish my paper work and asked one of my colleague to filed it for me at the high Court. I head to the market to get some neccesary things I had to make my mother in law comfortable. I went back home immediately after the shopping prepare dinner for kabir...

*****

I woke up very early the next morning to prepare something for umma before she arrives. I made Waina, taushe and kunun tsamiyya. I set the dinning then walk to my room kabir was in the bathroom already I went to the other room and make sure it well tidied up.

When I was done with the house chores I took my bath too dress in a purple and black Abaya and a small matching veil. I went to the living room I met kabir busy with his laptop. I sat behind him opened to my Wattpad and continue reading.

30 mins later

I heared a knock and I quickly rush to the door. It was umma, najat and the driver holding umma's we greeted and I let them in. I collected umma's box and take it to her room I came back to the living room to greet umma proper. Najat and the driver say there bye bye nd I left.
Umma keep eyeying me.
After some minutes of chat with her son he ushered her to the dinning. I served her first then serve kabir.
"is that how you were taught or you were the one that did not listen to the training your parents gave you..... " umma fired

"umma what did I do.... " i asked with shock

"don't umma me please iam not your mother I know my children. My own daughter will not count the meat she will put in my food she will fetch as many as she can and allow me to eat as many as I can at least it my son's money not your father's...... " She said shouting

"iam sorry ma... " i added.

I was speechless, kabir gestured me to be patience. I served the kunu. Then served myself with two pieces of Waina and some amount of kunu.

We all continue to eat in silence until umma broke the silence.

"Asrah or what the you call urself. You see one of the reasons I came down here is to warn you about something, you can't come to my son's house for fashion, eat, drive and spend his money without giving birth. I know you are a lawyer you want to always look attractive to your client that why you didn't conceive. I want to see my grandchildren soon before I die. All you know how to do is dress and go out everyday... Iam a lawyer.. Iam a lawyer rubbish "....

"umma what have my proffession has to do with my pregnancy " I said with tears

"oh you want to know????  Of course everybody knows female lawyers are prostitutes in disguise, the only get married for decoration Nd you can’t come and make my own child decoration I will rather get rid of you myself walahi "she shouted
