"Amee" he called out while I was in the kitchen baking.
"Come over here love I'm in the kitchen" I replied .
"I made it again" he shouted giving me a side hug. I was so amazed when I collected his report card and saw that he got 1st position again and four free tickets to Washington DC.
"Alhamdulilah" was all i could say and hug him "you always make me proud love"I said happily.
"Daddy promised to buy me an Xbox" he said happily and ran upstairs.
"Amee when are you going to give birth again I also need siblings like my other friends" he said in between our meal, mouth full.
"Very soon insha Allah" I replied laughing slightly.
                                         *
"Amee when are you giving birth please I'm tired of seeing your big tummy"
"Very soon love"
"Amee what will you name them?" He asked
"Aisha and Fatima" I replied
"What if they're boys?"
"Abdulrahman and Abdulkarim"
"Okay but amee why not call them hassy and hussy if they are girls"
"And what does that mean"
"Hassana and Hussaina"
"Alright then your wish is my command love and I pray your siblings will be as smart as you're" I said as he stood and lead his way out
"Ameen Amee"he exclaimed.
                                       *
"Hassy come and escort me to the garden. If not you'll see what I'll do" hussy yelled.
"Do your worst fool, i won't escort you. I'm waiting for Ahmad" hassy fired back.
They are always fighting as if they didn't share the same womb.
                                        *
Ahmad graduated out of high school with the best result. We were all proud of him.
Alhamdulilah.
      It's time for university level. Daddy wants to get admission for him in the American University of sharja but I prefer Skyline University in Dubai. He wants to study electro mechanical engineering.
      I still have to force him and his two siblings to travel down to Nigeria and visit our relatives in Borno.
    Daddy and I can't go along with them because I'm going to escort him to South Africa for a two month course.
                                        *
"When is Ahmad coming back? I really want him to attend our Year 10 awards party" hassy said cutely.
"He is coming back next tomorrow insha Allah. His graduation for completing his global engineering masters is coming up soon also." I replied.
" Amee what was his first degree" Hussy asked
"For real, don't tell me that you've forgotten this is not fair" Hassy yelled.
"Electro mechanical engineering obviously and he came out with a first class we are expecting first class presently also" I replied to end up the conversation.
                                         *
Alhamdulilah when Ahmad was 23 years old when he finished his masters and got a job at peugeot car company.
    He had a very good salary and his two sisters which are my twins were ready for university. Daddy was transferred back to Nigeria so the twins got admission into Nile University to study law and medicine respectively.
                                         *
Ahmad visited Nigeria about six times in the year when he started working.
     In his second year, he came to Nigeria after his 24th birthday.
  I was just thinking of hooking him up with kaltume who's my niece, though I know that he has a girlfriend Salima but she lacks proper home teaming so I doubt if I'll allow them together.
     On 15th May, he returned home along with his close friend Ashraf. Who lived at the BQ for two days then he decided to go down to chad to visit his fathers' relatives.
"Amee, do you know what ?" He asked immediately he drop his tea cup on the table.
"What's up love tell me" I said and adjusted my sitting position. I'm the very social butterfly type so I'm very close to my children.
"Amee I don't trust Ashraf I think he is into sth really bad I don't think he really travelled to chad" he said so worried.
" I doubt Ahmad, Ashraf is truly a good person, I doubt but even if he is doing something so be it. I pray Allah chooses the best for you two. If he isn't a good company I pray Allah destroys the friendship" I said
"Okay Amee thank you" he said unwilling.
                                     *
"Operation no mercy, Bring out the criminal" i over heard some soldiers shouting.
"What's going on?" I asked Daddy immediately I jumped out of the bed.
"Calm down" Daddy said and lead his way out. I peeped through the window and saw daddy walking to them.
"What's the matter please it's after 2am yet you are over here making a hell of noise" daddy yelled.
"We do respect you sir but we are here for your son the drugs dealer and anything you say would be used against you in the court of law" a soldier fired back.
Immediately I heard that I ran through the stairs and opened the door to his room.
"Ahmad you need to hide, some soldiers are here for you. Go and hide at the underground" I said in tears
"No Amee I won't hide besides I'm not a criminal" He said with no fear.
"Shut up do as I say" I barked and he rushed out to the underground apartment which no one outsider knows that it's exist.
"Fine Mr Mahmoud we can't find your son but surely we will come back for him" they said after searching the whole house for over 3 hours looking for him.
"But please what are his offenses I'm confused" I cried.
"Your son smuggles weapons and drugs all over the country and he is wanted everywhere so help the Nigerian forces and bring out your son cause we must meet up with him  No Mercy" another person roared .
     The following morning we asked Ahmad to take his ATM card along with him and run away from Maiduguri to another state but he should always tell us about his whereabout.
     It's just 5 weeks that he has been engaged with his cousin kaltume though it's against his will he just wants to make us happy, last week they had a terrible misunderstanding because she's rude so they ain't in good terms.
