Kaduna.

He stepped out of his room clad in a Sky blue kaftan with a matching Zanna bukhar cap, smelling nice and fresh.

He was holding his car key in one hand whilst the other held his phone to his ear. " I can't make it tonight," he said fixing his cuff links.

"But why amor? I'll even prepare your favorite meal." A female voice said from the other line.

Muhammad let his laughter slip without knowing it. "Mimi, you, prepare my favorite meal? As if. You can't even cook to save your life. Remember the last time you tried to cook, would you be so kind to remind me of what happened?" Muhammad teased locking the door behind him as he walked out of the house.

"Allah sarki Muhammad, but it was not my fault the spaghetti burnt. I just went back to my room to rest because I was so tired then I ended up falling asleep." She groaned making him smile.

He opened his car and slid in. "You see that's your problem all you do is eat, sleep and shop. You should learn to cook under an adult's supervision from now on okay?"

"I don't have to learn to cook. When we get married I would just bring hannatu along with me, you see problem solved. I don't have to suffer." She chuckled.

"That's not possible you know." He rolled his eyes. "I would call you back later. I'm driving." He hung up the phone.

He loves Salma(Mimi) but she has a whole lot of habit he dislikes.

He was driving, listening to music, and tapping his fingers on the steering wheel when his cell phone rang. He checked the caller, it was 🌍❤️.

Smiling he answered the call. "Salamu Alaikum ya ummi."

"Waalaikum al salam Muhammadu, how are you?" His mother; hajiya Sadiya teased. Muhammad groaned. " kai mummy, when will you stop calling me that? You know I don't like it."

She chuckled. "Toh shikenan. I won't call you Muhammadu again." Muhammad shook his head as he says, "That's what you said the last time too."

"I just enjoy teasing you."
"I love you, mummy."
"I love you more Muhammad. You guys mean the world to me."
"And you mean the world to us. May you live a long life filled with happiness."
"Amin and May Allah bless you. So when will you get here? People have been asking about you."

He checked his watched. "I am almost there."
"Drive safely son."
He smiled feeling the love he has for his mother heighten. "Insha Allah."

Then she hung up the phone. Muhammad has always had a close relationship with his mother. She has always been there for him that's how all mothers are.

As per said by Hajiya sadiya; Mummy Muhammad drove safely to the venue. He gave one of the guards that were standing by the door his Invitation Card and got in. The dinner was strictly on IV.
