Hajiya and her sister Hajiya Salma were in the sitting room discussing.
Hajiya Salma is the only sister to Hajiya they lost two of their brothers in a car accident and their parents were long dead.
Hajiya Salma lives in Katsina with her husband and their only daughter, Safiya.
They kept discussing about almost everything, until Ya Khaleefa sauntered into the room with a salam.
Salamualaikum, aunty salamatu ina yini Ya Khaleefa greeted.
Da na ya kake, ya aiki (my son how are you, and your work).
Fine aunty, he simply added.
Where are your sisters, she asked.
Uhh.. Probably in their room's, he said standing from the position he was.
I should go and let them know you're here, he said and left.
KHALEEFA'S POV
I'm totally not fond of Aunt Salma, because whenever she comes the only thing she talks about is when will I get married , even my mother don't bother me about that.
All I know is marriage is about time, when the time comes I will do that. But I don't understand why she wants me to get married or does she wants me to get married to that illiterate daughter of hers who unfortunately happened to be my cousin, wallahi God forbid I will rather die than marry that girl.......
I went to A and K's room and informed them about Aunt Salma, then went back to my room because I'm craving to be alone.
***********
Aunty Salma why isn't yaya safiya here? Anisah asked.
Don't worry she will be joining us tomorrow, she's very busy this days, aunt salma explained.
Okay, because I missed her.
Don't worry she will come tomorrow.
Okay.

Dinner was served by Fatima, everyone dugged into their food until they were done.
In a few the dining room was scarce, Ya Khaleefa was the only one in the dining room with his untouched food in front of him.
Fatima was done washing the plates, so she came out of the kitchen and found Khaleefa still hasn't eaten his food.
Ya Khaleefa why haven't you eat your food?
*silence*
Yaya, Yaya, Fatima called twice. She had to tap him to bring him back to this world.
Uhh... Fatima, I'm sorry, how long have you been here?
Not long. Why haven't you ate your food, or you didn't like it, let me make something for you, tell me.
No, no, it's not that I just don't have appetite.
Is that it? Fatima asked.
Well Fatima you're like a sister to me so I've nothing to hide from you.
Actually I'm in love and I just don't know how to tell her or express my feelings to her.
Hahaha, Yaya na is that what's worrying you?
Or you're even laughing, is what I said funny.
Of course, aren't you a grown up, how can't you handle a lady, gaskiya this isn't my Yaya.
This lady isn't just "a lady", she's absolutely different from others, her character, attitude, personality everything of her's is different.
Hmm she's really different, May I know her name.
No, you can't. Not now Fatima.
Why, Yaya....
When the time comes you'll know.
Okay Yaya, and I'm glad to help you win her heart, I'll do anything it takes to see you two together.
I will be grateful, Fatima.
HAJIYA'S POV
I will have to do something about this two, I see they are getting close. Who knows if she's the "special lady" they were talking about, the "special lady" that he wants to marry.
I really have to do something before my thought comes true, maybe I should just get him married to another lady, that will be better.
It was good that I eavesdropped.
KHALEEFA'S POV
Oh! No! Gwaggo you won't ruin my life by getting me married to another woman, I'm going to marry the woman of my choice and none of you will stop me.
I'm glad I heard you Gwaggo, then I'll make sure you won't succeed.
FATIMA'S POV
Why does Hajiya wants Khaleefa to marry someone when she knows he already has a girl of his choice. And why does she thinks that I'm "the lady" Khaleefa will marry, I've to think about this I'm really puzzled.
I shouldn't have eavesdropped, now my brain is tensed. I should go and sleep.
END OF POV'S
Ya Khaleefa was heading back to his room, likewise Fatima.
Ahh! they bumped into each other by mistake. I'm sorry, so sorry they pleaded respectively.
I hope you are not hurt, Fatima.
No, no, I'm fine.
Glad, Good night.
Good night Yaya.
I really don't know why Ya Khaleefa show much concern on me or am I really "the lady" he is talking about.
Oh! No I should stop thinking that way, he can't even marry me because he knows Hajiya will never approve, so he won't waste his time.
I hope it's someone else, not me.
Oh Allah help me out, Fatima raised her hands up to the lord and after that she dozed off to sleep.................
