Bismillahi rahmanir rahim
Ya Allah bestow more knowledge and wisdom on me.

The baby continue crying even though he was singing for her. It was as if he is encouraging her to cry more.

Little Zahra! Little Zahra!! Cry no more, your mummy is on her way. He said while dressing her up.

He changed her diaper and also her clothes. By now he is already used to taking care of Zahra.

The way she bagged into the sitting room got him scared. He just glanced at her and continued what he was doing.

Haba Mubeen can't you see am just coming back from work? She asked him.

Ehenn so i should start dancing or what? He also asked her in anger.

Munaya what have this innocent baby got to do with all this. She is our child, our symbol of love.

You left this baby who is barely a month old since morning and you are just coming back. Remember she is our responsibility. He added.

Mr preacher, have you finished? She asked twisting her mouth. See let me tell you something, she is your responsibility and not mine. She said on top of her voices.

I gave birth to her, so what? It was never my intention to bring her into this world, you forced me.

I told you, i was not ready to give birth yet but you insisted and then i was blinded by love. "She retorted". Mubeen couldn't utter any word. He just stared at her in amazement.

Do you want me to be looking older than my age or how do you want me to cope with work. She asked and left to her room without waiting for his reply.

He sat down there with Zahra on his shoulder and thought about life before marriage.

Munaya is the only daughter of a well known chattered accountant, Alhaji Zahraddeen. He is a worldly man of principle.

He believe western education is all that makes a complete human. His wife, Hajiya Safiya is a lecturer.

Munaya was brought up in a well-to-do way, she never lacked anything. She grew up to be a very reckless and irresponsible child.

Mubeen had met her when she followed her mother to the lecture room. He was in his final year then. Mubeen's father passed away since when he was a baby. His mother singlehandedly brought him up.

They became friends and as time goes on they developed feelings for each other. Munaya's parent had kicked against the relationship but she stood her ground insisting she must get married to him.

They got married in an extravagant way without Mubeen spendind any penny. Alhaji Zahraddeen had taken care of everything. Although Mubeen's mother did not buy the idea at first, but he assured her everything will be alright.

To Munaya, her job is her main priority, she never let a day pass her by without going to work. She works as a model for a cosmetic company. 

Their marriage was built with love and happiness not until Zahra came into their lives. Munaya feels taking care of a baby will distract her from her job and she is hoping to be promoted soon, she can't let that opportunity slide by.

He was brought back from his deep thought by Munaya who increased the volume of the Tv. She sat down, crossed her legs and continue watching with zero worries.

Princess please breastfeed her. "He said while handing the baby over to her". She put her hand up indicating she don't want to hear anything from him and said: how many times will i tell you, i don't want to lose my shape. Continue giving her the milk na or is she complaining? She asked him.

Princess please you don't expect her to survive on milk alone, atleast support her with breast milk. "He pleaded calmly".

I won't, i say i won't and don't disturb me or i will leave the sitting room for the two of you. "She shouted at him angrily".
