Being home together with mom Zeena,her husband Ashraf & their child 3year old Zaina was joy and also a pain in the neck for Zara. She didn't like Ashraf because he had little or no time for her mum.
Ashraf was a successful Nigerian politician who rarely had time for his family. Apart from Zaina being his seventeenth child, Mum zeena was his fourth wife out of the 6 women he shared wedlock with. 2 were out of his life making a successful position for Zeena to be the fourth legal wife following the Islam rule.
It pained Zara. Her loving mum deserves a life worth living than this.
"listen baby...." Mum Zeena spoke with zaina on her lap. after all this years her mum still refers to her as baby, An army for good sake.
Even dou Zara felt NDA had removed the baby in her, she still felt like one around her beautiful aging Mum."You have always being my priority Zara. Wealth & social status were never my thing. I lived for you. You are Hayatti. You are my life both you and zaina. Nothing can make me sad as far as I have the both of you in my life. You've made me proud, No one ever cherished me or have being protective over me like you and I hope Zaina follows your foot step."
Zara found herself snuggling into her mum. She was sure nothing without this woman. She just wanted to know if her Mum was fine with Ashraf's way of life. Little zaina joined the hug successfully biting Zara's ear who intantly let an ouch before she drew back and began tickling the little girl. Soon cute laughter began to fill the room.
"I think I'm going have to raise another Zara right from the scratch again! " Mum Zeena gigled referring to Zaina's attitude leaving the girls alone while nodding her head out of amusement but bumped into Ashraf who had been listening to the conversation from the very begining.
Locking eyes with her husband who didn't look happy she swayyed gracefully pass him.
"oh dama kadawo?!"
She wasn't going start an explanation that will lead to an arguement that would lead her to dose of medication.
Part of her liver was damaged & she couldn't risk arguing with Zara around. The girl didn't already like her husband.

"kin zama mara sa kunya ko! Saboda wannan shegiyar yarinyar ta dawo! Banaso yarinyar nan ta wuni a gidan nan gobe......." it was late in midnight Zara came back home. Aneesa insisted she moved to Kano. Kaduna held a lot of painful memories for her. Legally inheriting her dads wealth she decided to buy a house in one of the GRA's. It was successful so Zara went to help her pack in which was more of them catching up about things that happened to them for the past 3months since they left the NDA.
"who is this man shouting at?! " she wondered tiredly approaching the room she heard noises. It was locked & she was sure that was where the noises were coming from. She even heard Zaina cry.
Breaking down a door was an easy task for the young army. She just needed some pins and soon her work was done.
Alas it was Ashraf who had Mum zeena tied up to one of her concrete pillars in the room almost naked because her clothes were torn due to him whipping her. Poor zaina was on the floor crying.
Zara unable to take the situation in she was dazed as she looked from her mum to Zaina. What did she ever do to deserve witnessing this moment.
She felt her hands began to shiver but she knew well it wasn't the time to be weak.
Ashraf didn't notice her presence because she broke in silently and he had his back turned to her. Zaina crawled toward her in the speed she could muster up while mum zeena had a pleading teary eye. She knew at this point Zara could do everything including the unthinkable.
Shuushing little Zaina resulted to drawing the monsters attention.
"oh... Look who we have been talking about?! " he said spreading out his arms while moved forward approaching Zara who held Zaina. He looked drunk. He was All sweaty due to the aggression he has been displaying. Zara had her eyes furrowed with Zaina head buried in her neck while she pat her back. She looked him in his eyes , kicked him beneath and watch the monster groan in pain.
There was no way her mum was staying another minute in this house.
