It's been 3 days since we came back I woke up early today and I had nothing to do so I went down stairs to the kitchen to help our house keeper with breakfast I love cooking so much am planing on asking dad to join a catering school since I don't have a job yet I studied law in harvard we just got back to Nigeria so I have to go job hunting which I hate so much but I don't like asking dad for favors I like doing things for myself being independent

Good morning my old parents they hate it when I call them old especially Ammi "who are you calling old young lady Ammi said pulling my ear aaahhhh ahhhhh am sorry you're not old you're young and beautiful I said before she late go of my ear "am sueing your wife for child abuse I said looking at dad "disadvantage of having a daughter who is a lawyer said dad laughing at mom OK let's eat breakfast people I said we all went to the dinning room " I have a friend coming over later said dad looking at Ammi okay she said we ate and talked before everyone left I helped maid clear the table before going back to my room

I was at the living room when I heard a knock on the door I opened it to see an elderly man he must be dad's friend he talked about earlier "good afternoon I greeted squatting down to show respect how are you Tasleem you've grown so much he said to me I know you don't remember me sha you were so young "come in I said moving away from the door for him to get in let me go get my dad I said smiling at him, I left to call dad after calling dad I went back to the kitchen to get refreshments for the guest I token it to the living room I placed it on a small table next to him then told him dad will be with him in a minute then left to my room

I cried myself to sleep what could I have done I love my parents so much they make sure I get the best of everything I get whatever I want I eat whatever I want so the lest I could do for them is this I know they want the best for me they would never choose anything bad for me so I would make the best of this marriage in sha Allah I woke up around 9:00pm at night because I slept early I went to the bathroom to take a shower I came out and got dressed in my pj's and sat on my bed thinking about everything I heard a knock on my door come in I answered it was Ammi she came in and sat down next to me "hey she said holding my hand I know you are still thinking of all this happening I understand how yoi feel but you know we want the best for you I want you to make the best of this marriage please okay and I want you to know that I love  you and am proud to have you as my daughter she said hugging me I hugged her back "I want you to pack your stuff all that you'll need your inlaws are coming to take you tomorrow in sha Allah she pecked me on my cheeks and left

The next day I woke up early I started packing my stuff my clothes, my bags, my books, my shoes all that I needed I went down for breakfast I met Ammi and dad sitted at the dinning table I said my greetings to them we ate and talked a little and went back to my room I kept packing my stuff I slept a little after that around 3:00pm my husband and inlaws came I was in tears I couldn't even put a finger on what was going on I coils hear them talking but my mind wasn't functioning at that time I heard someone pat me on my shoulder I turned to see Ammi looking at me its time to leave my stuff was pit in the trunk of the car we were ridding in my mother in law seemed so happy about this union I like her
