"Innailaihir wa innailaihir Raji'un. It's true, the headline state that " The Baba Gana B.G Industry is Changed to S.S industries as new owners Alhaji Sani and Alhaji Salisu Basheer decided to claim what was sold to them right before Alhaji Baba Gana's death and only delayed the claim for the mourning of the company's former owner"

I was seated, numb in my place as I heard the words that are started to weigh heavily on my chest. Juwairiyya decided to search for the real information on my behalf because I was scared of finding out what would shatter the little healing process I've started. There was no escape nonetheless.

"Those bloody Bastards" Intisaar exclaimed standing up and pacing the room

"Language Inti" Yusrah scolded as Inti rolled her eyes

"Who are these two to your father anyways? Juwairiyya asked

"Alhaji Sani Saleh, whom Maimai stays at his place is Abba's childhood friend and distant cousin. They grew up in the same place and got married in the same place too. He is the only one here in Abuja who is very close to Abba. He's like a brother to him" Zahra replied

"Alhaji Salisu Basheer is a business client to the company Abba once worked at, when Abba established his, Alhaji Salisu helped him get everything on track and considering he's very exposed into the business sector since he also has a company of his own, he became Abba's partner" I added and they all turned to me

"So what now? Yusrah blurted out throwing her hands around

"Maami said I should get back to her after everything" I said in a small voice

"I think you should go back and hear what they have to say"Intisaar said

"Yes, you have to go back" Juwairiyya added

"Of course I will go back and I know they will talk to me about it. Whatever happens I will get back to you and Maami" I replied then looked over to Zahra

"Rahrah will you tell Aunt Lima please"

"Yes" Zahra nodded "I already sent her a message. I know she will call"

"I will leave now. I have to inform Hafeez about it. I will organize a conference call later to tell you how everything went out"

" Maimai, please be strong. We are all here" Yusrah said standing up to hug me and that was when the water flow broke. I couldn't hold it any longer and I let myself cry as the rest of my girls came to join in the hug. We stayed like that for a few minute before I stepped back, sent them a smile and left tea room with a teary face.

"Why isn't Hafeez picking my calls? I murmured angrily to myself as I stepped into the house

"Adderh Humaira you're back" One of the twins, Ameer said

"Yes I'm back" I replied looking around "where is everybody?

"Ammar is sleeping, Mama is in Baba's study and Khadeejah isn't back yet"

"Ohh. I'll be upstairs then"

Looking past the twin, I ascended the stairs and went straight to the room. Performed ablution and prayed, crying my heart out to Allah and hoping everything will be okay. I mean it could really be that Abba sold the company and the money is to be kept with Maami for us to start something else. It is not the best decision he made for us but we can always start over, we can decide to open another refreshment company and continue from where he stopped.

After praying, I went to the bed, slumped on it and slowly closed my eyes.

^*^*^*^*^*^*^

"I'm so sorry Humaira" Was the first thing I heard upon opening my eyes
