Chapter Twenty Four

This chapter is dedicated to @MaryamAhmad043 because of her love and support towards Maryam, we ❤️ you

It was Saturday morning around 8am when Abdulrahman heard his phone vibrating on the bed side. He was still sleeping but the vibrating phone woke him up from his slumber. He dragged the phone to check who was calling. It was Ahmad his best friend and he groaned, he forgot to tell him that he was in town and now that he is calling him this early on a weekend he hopes everything is alright.

"Hello! Why are you calling somebody this early in the morning that too on a weekend? Are you alright??" Abdulrahman asked in his hoarse sleepy voice.

"Kai Malam, you call 8am early in the morning? Besides why won't I call you early when I just found out that you snitched on me."

"What did I do if I may ask your royal highness?"

"Don't try to be a drama king now, so you are in town and you didn't even bother to tell me you were here, in fact you didn't even tell me you were coming to Abuja when we talked on Thursday. I am hurt."

Abdulrahman chuckled while rolling his eyes "See who is being a drama king now, okay I am sorry but I didn't tell you I was coming because I wanted to surprise you."

"Am I your girlfriend or what that you suddenly want to surprise me with your presence? And if that is true why didn't you contact me yesterday or surprise me with a visit??"

Abdulrahman sighed knowing he can't win this battle. "Okay man I am deeply sorry, I didn't mean to cut you out or anything it just skipped my mind to tell you that I was coming and when I arrived yesterday I was too tired for anything not even a phone call." As he said the last statement he suddenly realized that he hasn't even call Maryam, the last time he contacted her was the message he sent her during maghrib the previous day. He felt bad because he knew she might be expecting his call even though he told her they won't talk until later in the night and he knew that she didn't call him because she doesn't want to distract him 

"Okay I will forgive you only one condition." Ahmad said smirking. 

"And what is that condition? Can you say it already, you are irritating me."

"Haha! I know right. The condition is that you will come pick me up later for a football match, my car has broken down and it's still under repair, maybe I will get it tomorrow inshaa Allah."

"Broke ass nigga! Change your car you don't want to, now you suffer. What time is the match??"

"Yeah whatever and the match is 5pm so come on time please."

"Okay I will come by 4pm inshaa Allah."

"Okay, see you then. Thanks."

"Alright see you, bye."

They hung up the call while Abdulrahman managed to drag himself out of the bed into the bathroom to freshen up maybe he will feel more energized. After few minutes he was done getting ready. He wore a navy blue polo shirt with plain black sweat pants. Sitting down on his bedroom single couch he took his phone and dialed Maryam's number. He couldn't wait for her to pick up for him to hear her sweet voice. Oh! How he missed that voice, she has no idea.  She picked up on the 3rd ring.

"Hello assalamu alaikum." Maryam said through the phone and he smiled.

"Wa alaiki salam Maryama, good morning." He  answered her cheerfully.

"Good morning Alhaji, how are you doing today? Ya gajiyar hanya??"

"What is with the Alhaji all of a sudden?" He asked amused.
