A glimpse of affection will make you love. ~~Mahal.
She had just finished praying to her Almighty, she was feeling remorseful for her behavior, she knew it wasn't her attitude, she's tensed on all the problem of registration and what came over her totally is unknown. The scorching sun made her eyes weak and dull.
Suddenly Aisha Garba brought her brought her back to reality by tapping her shoulder.
"Oh you scared me!!." she exclaimed.
"Murjanatu, sorry I scared you but you looked tensed. What's bothering you?"
"Oh it's nothing. Ain't you hungry Let's go the cafeteria."she shrugged.
On reaching the cafeteria, she saw a cute kid of four to five years looking lost. She intended to mind her business by walking past him until he smiled at her. Murjanatu couldn't resist such a cute boy. She bent down to meet his height.
"Hi,how are you kiddo?"she smiled.
"I want to see my Abba, he left me here,he hasn't come back since"the child complained innocently.
"Don't worry dear, am sure he went to get something for you, So what's your name?"
"Abdullah Ahmad" he replied intelligently.
"Awwnn. Nice name dear"
She look up to see her friend looking impatiently, Ya Allah!! she had totally forgotten about Aisha.
"Sorry, I have to go dear."
"Don't go, please stay" Abdullah pouted.
"I have to,we will be spending time more often." She assured.
"OK.. My Dad will soon be here. Bye"he waved
"Bye bye" she waved back.
"Where did you know him from?"asked Aisha.
"Just now and am sorry for taking so long."she said apologetically.
"Alright"
Murjanatu was still worried about the kid, still wondering if his father had come.
********
.
After Ahmad encounter with that rude girl,(in his perspective) Hajiya called him to come and take Abdullah because he has been crying that he wants to be with his father. If Abdullah has a mother all this won't be happening at least he will free. Salma why? he thought.
Salma was his first wife it was an arranged marriage but he gave her all his heart and she did the same. whenever they had argument, she would always be the first to apologize, she's so softhearted and calm, . Ahmad loved her with all his heart but Allah loves her the most. She left this duniya two days after she gave birth to their lovely son Abdullah.
"I want you to name our son Abdullah" salma said weakly she has been losing much blood.
"And also, please promise me you will take care of him."she continued.
"Salma you are scaring me ,please stop it."
"I might not make it anymore."
that's the last sentence she said to him before giving up to a ghost. He didn't talk for days, he thinks it's just a nightmare and hoped he will wake up anytime soon but that's the reality.
"Abba, let's go and eat at the cafeteria am hungry"
"Anything for you my prince."
While eating he saw one of his old friend from afar,he just can't believe it it's been 7 years so he saw him last.
"Abdullah, please wait for me am coming, please it something important I won't stay long."
"OK papa."
"That's my boy."
After exchanging plesantries with his old friend he came back but he couldn't find his son at the spot he left him. he couldn't even think in the first place , how could he had left a 5 year old boy alone. He was about to go outside when he saw Abdullah coming towards the other direction.
"Alhamdulilah."he muttered.
"Abba am so happy."Abdullah giggled.
He wondered what made his son to be happy in few minutes, he was curious to find out what made his child happy because, he is not the type who couldn't express his feelings freely.
"What made you happy son?"he asked curiously.
"I met a beautiful anty and we are friends.!!
"Woaw, where is that beautiful anty of yours?
"She left but she said we will see some other time."
"Alright son, let's go back home."
