We got welcomed by the entire family, especially Nana who hugged me so hard i thought i was going to fall off, she didn't let go of Abdullah as well until she got pulled away by Yahya.

We all went to the swim pool side as the stars were finally coming out on the night sky. Abdullah cough only worsened, Apparently it started when we entered the plane but upon our arrival we had to make a quick stop at a pharmacy to get cough syrup before coming to the beach house.

He house was massive. There were other similar houses, that looked the same to the one we were in.

He probably couldn't control the abrupt coughs so I  watched him disappear holding his phone to his ear, Probably on the phone with Lilian. He had been talking to her on and off on the transit to Rio.

"I am so happy. I really hope other memories come back easily like that." Mama tells me holding my hands in hers. I just finished telling her about the cigarettes pack incident.

"Me too Mama, Turns out the guest that stayed in the hotel room before us forgot the pack inside the sofa, Because I met it open and I don't think Abdullah smokes." Rukky and Yahya nodded in agreement.

"Well if i were in your shoes i would report the issue. They need to check all furniture’s after a guest stays." Rukky added.

"Imagine if it were a kid who found it." Yahya added.

"At least its cigarettes not even something worse." I agreed nodding.

"Well. It's almost 9pm. And I am soo jet lagged i would get going to my room so i would have enough energy for tomorrow." Mama informs us standing on both feet.

"Let me walk you." I suggested following her. I left Nana in the pool playing with Yahya’s and Mama's kids.

I was elated seeing her like that hearing her cry over the phone the other day broke my heart but seeing smiles on her face warmed mine.

"How was Hawaii?."

"It was fun. Mama. I had fun, we went under the water. I even made a friend with an sea turtle." I smiled down at her. I was taller than my mother, But she was lighter than I am. A bit chubbier but if you could see her you would find it hard to believe she had a twenty three year old daughter, she looked nothing pass thirty but she was actually forty five.

"Ma Shaa Allah. I don't think i can do that i am scared of the water.?" She wrinkled her nose. Mama yawned just as we got to her door.

"Well. tabat lilatuk habibi." She smiled.

"Good night." I replied.

[Tabat lilatuk habibi||good night my love]

I strolled to the master bedroom which i found halfway open i stood by the door listening to Abdullah's conversation.

"-If we can't get at least  sixty-three percent profit on the auto parts, like last year than why not open another deport at Lagos. We can't always wait for Verteg when situations get heated like this-" he pauses to cough. And he does it twice this time.
