Staying at home can be so boring and tiring, so to keep myself busy i enrolled myself to learn more on cooking and baking online and with the help of my mom, you know one can't stop learning every day.

I called Zahra and she said she is also learning make-up, i tease her and ask of her brand name she will laugh and say sit down there when i blow you will be liking my video and pictures on social media, we both laughed and i said to her in your dreams, while teasing Zahra, ya Salim call came in so i bid Zahra bye and end the call.

I flashed ya Salim cause i know he will call me back, and he did when i picked the call he said, Fati so you have become a big babe in Abuja that you forgot to call your brother to tell him you have arrived and ask of my welfare, well i decide to check on the big babes in town.

I laughed and replied ya Salim if i forget everyone, it will certainly not be you am really sorry for not calling you, how's mama yan biyu, he replied its okay i accept your apology, we are all fine, my wife said i should extend her regards, hope you bought something for me, i couldnt help but laugh.

Why are you laughing he asked, when are you going to bring it for me, i had to control my laughter, ya Salim you are already big and too old for gifts it's for your wife and kids only, is your wife with you, he laughed and said so now you are calling me old but when you want to collect your own you will call me the sweetest and youngest brother ever, no problem my wife is here let me give her.

She started her own teasing china biggest babe, nawa o since you come back you didn't even call or check up on us, her twin started shouting ya Fafa, she yelled sweetheart come and take your babies they are disturbing me, i laughed and said are they not your beautiful babies, they are meant to disturb you she said don't worry you will soon have your own, you will know how it feels, when are you coming to visit and i hope you bought the things i asked you to buy for me.

I replied yes i did, in fact on Saturday i will give dad's driver to bring it for you, am so sorry i can't come this time around, because our break is almost over, she said okay no problem anytime the driver is coming let me know, i replied okay i will also if you receive it let me know, she said okay thanks i can't wait to receive them.

I replied i can imagine, with that I spoke with the kids before hanging up, you all are wondering what she ask me to buy, it's under wears and some perfumes, whenever i ask why she needs it, she said she wants to beautify herself for her husband Hmm married women with various skills, they will always do things to keep their man.
