"Maami" I shouted running down the stairs
"Addah am" Maami turned and hugged me and I started tearing up
"Stop being a baby. I'm here now" She laughed patting my head
"More of I'm here" I replied as we broke the hug while I stared at her
"You look beautiful Maami" I exclaimed and she laughed
"You don't look bad yourself" She replied
"Ohh please Maami. I know I look skinny, dark and ugly" I said shaking my head
"Yeah she does" Zainab answered behind the couch
"She definitely do" Daadi added as she dug into whatever she's eating on the dining table
"Where's Zahra? Maami asked looking around
"She's sleeping" I replied suppressing a yawn but clearly Maami saw it
"Well go sleep too. We will talk tomorrow, it's late" She said pushing me towards the stairs
"Fine I'm going" I replied waving at them a goodnight before heading to the room.
Instead of sleeping, I went directly to the gram, viewed stories, liked post and sent Hafeez sister a Dm saying a simple "Hey, how are you doing? It's Humaira" before dropping her the one million dollar question "Where the hell is Hafeez? I'm really getting worried, this is now beyond being busy. Two days!
I switched off my data, lay my head down, prayed and slept. And for the first time after these turbulences, I slept peacefully knowing this place where my head rest, is a peaceful resting place.
Not just my head, but my body, heart and my whole soul is at ease.

"I see the beauty Queens are up" Daadi said coming out of the kitchen dressed in her signature bubu gown in the colour of a cobalt blue with a plumpy woman trailing behind her whom I'm guessing is a chef based on the apron on her
"Good morning Daadi" Zahra greeted sitting on the dining table
"Good morning my darling" Daadi replied grinning as she helped the chef set down food
"Good morning Daadi" I greeted next coming to sit next to Zainab
"Good morning Maimai" She replied smiling brightly
"Good morning Addah" Zainab said beside me
"Morning Abulle" I replied hearing her puff knowing she hates the name
"So today I decided to grace you all with my amazing chef's food. It's absolutely divine" Daadi said serving us the Fritters which by the scent is cinnamon with apple cider drippings
"Woah" Zahra exclaimed "These type of food are the ones you only read in books or see in movies. I mean durh, we are in Nigeria" Zahra exclaimed and I roll my eyes
"And you are supposed to be the chef"
Zahra ignored me and started serving herself.
" Making fritters is not hard and definitely not expensive either and apple cider isn't expensive also. All in all what you will eat won't even be up to the money you spend on Irish potatoes. So in a way, it's you saving money in a modern way" Daadi explained with a proud smile on her lips
"Ohh Daadi" I said laughing and biting into the fritter. "And it's really good" I added looking over to the chef
"It's chef Asee (Asiya)" She smiled and I smiled back
