She use the back of her hands to wipe the sweat that dwell on her forehead. The day was so sunny that made her pant eventually after the long walk.

Getting to her destination, she knocked on the door and a voice answered from within.

"Come in" .  The elderly woman said as she opened up

"Good day ma"... She greeted

"You can proceed...."
She left after getting permission from the woman and get into a room.

"Hello girly" she yelled dropping her bag on the sofa the same time walking to her position.

"Anisa! It's you!". She blurted

Anisa smiled as she sat next to her best friend Mufida.  The girls are so found of each other, in a blink of an eye they started to chit chat among themselves.

"You by this hour?".  Mufida asked cocking a brow

"Yeah baby, I went to a store near by so i decided to drop by".  Anisa said earning a glance from mufida

They continued chatting for almost a while, in the process, a knock came on the door and mufida ask the person in.
Mahmud, a younger brother to mufida came in and informed that she had a visitor outside.

"Okay am coming".  She said jumping down from the bed to her wardrobe to pick up a veil

Both mufida and Anisa went out together, reaching there, they met Muhammad, Mufida's boyfriend standing by his car.

They did the 'greeting session' and Anisa walk back inside the house to give both of them some space.
Reaching the room, she played game, watch pictures, tidy the room just so to avoid boredom regarding how much time Mufida was taking outside.

Anisa started to become tensed because it was almost dusk and she's not home. She stood up and walk to and fro to relax her nervousness until mufida finally showed up.

"Damn you girl! Have you forgotten that you left me here?!  Anyways, I'm going home it's late".  She ended picking up her hand bag.

'bye'! She left without waiting for her reply. A taxi took her home in about 15 minutes.
She get inside the house and walked surreptitiously to be noticed by no one but luck wasn't on her side.

"Hey, stop right there!".  The voice that make her moments terrifying yelled at her. She definitely know who it was so she stopped her track without turning to face the person talking

"Where are you coming from?".  The woman who looked in her early 40's asked as she walk to where Anisa was standing
"I don't have to repeat myself because you clearly heard me".  The woman said again sternly

Anisa dare not open her mouth to talk. She was mute with fright covering  her whole body.

The woman fold her hands on her chest as a support. "Well why am I even asking you? A brazen child like you goes out whenever you like and return home the time you desired! You are simply disgusting and abrasive! Your existence has no triviality at all and....."

She hushed when an elderly man in his early 60's came in and asked what was happening.
Anisa quickly ducked while the woman threw a dirty look on her.

"Alhaji it's your favorite daughter, she left in the morning and was just returning at this moment! This girl will for sure put us on shame one day and...."

"I forbid that"!    He cut her in before she finished.
He looked at Anisa and said "get into your room. And yes, don't come home late again".

"Yes father".  Anisa answered and ran to her room as she was conceiting  for that since from the start.
