"Life is a combination of happiness and sadness,everyone of us will be tested but what define us is how we acted during that time,some of us lose our faith,some of us follow the wrong path,some of us put ourselves into an uncompromising situation and some of us stay strong and wish for happiness"

"Their's rain after sun,love after pain and happiness after sadness"

Farrah patted Mamitah's back affectionately as she smiled sadly,tears glistened in her eyes as she thought of how she must be feeling.

And Mubin,he is very strong,still smiling after everything that happened..

"Mamitah":Mubin said coming down and both of them wiped their tears..

"Am sorry but I need to go and greet grandma,she will burn this house to ashes if she finds out that I came here and left without going to her side to greet her":He said referring to Farrah..

"It is okay, I will like to meet your grandma too even though you have never talked about her":she said holding his stick as he told her to go out..

"And now am sure we have reached the red flower right,their's a corner in the left side and that will lead us straight to grandma"

"And about not talking about my grandma,you talk alot and you didn't give me a chance to talk":he said teasingly smiling..

"Am not arguing with you for now I have many important things to do":Farrah said sighing..

"I also need to call my mom,it is already 5:00pm am sure she must be worried,I will just text her":Farrah said as she opened her bag and carried her phone..

"50 missed call from mom,20 messages":she shouted making him laugh..

"Mom am fine, I went to visit dad then went to my patient's house to tell the improvements, I will be home soon,take care of yourself,bye":she said as she typed then press send..

She looked at her front and realized that they have already reached..

"Now let's go in":she said as she opened the door..

"Nana":he shouted as he walked in a fast motion inside the room..

He kept on putting his hands in different directions then he held on the chair that an old woman was sitting smiling as she looked at him..

"Found you":He said laughing..

She laughed as she hugged him smiling toothlessly..

"It is now that you have decided to grace me with your presence,you idiot":she said smacking him..

Farrah stood behind them smiling at the way they were talking,she didn't experience this moments because her grandparents from both sides died before she was born..

"Nana this is Farrah,my therapist":he said smiling as he motioned me to come closer,he was looking at the door while I was at the right side,definitely a person's voice is the only reason why he looks directly otherwise he can't..

"So Khadija have to bring another one,she will never get tired":Nana said as she smiled at me..

"Good day my daughter":she said and Farrah greeted her..

They kept on talking as Farrah kept on looking at her phone to check time..

Her mom is surely going to kill her today..

Farrah was not having an ounce of interest in all the conversations until when Nana bought out an album of Mubin's childhood pictures..

"This picture was used for his sticker during his giving birth ceremony":Nana said showing it to Ablah..

"Aww Baby Mubin is so cute and innocent":Farrah cooed..

"He still is":Mubin said smiling..

"This is his mom and this is his dad":Nana said showing her a picture of him and his parents as they held him like a precious gem..

"He got his mom's lips and eyebrow,the eyes and nose are his dad's,wow you took the most beautiful things each of them had":Farrah said smiling at him..

His phone rang and he picked it up and talked for a while then someone came and led him out saying that he will come back soon he dashed out..

Leaving me with his talkative grandma..

I snapped all the pictures in my phone laughing at some,his first day in school,his parents anniversary,when he finished kinder garden,his first day in primary..

And can you just imagine he once modeled on children clothes..

Well he was way too handsome as a child even now though..

We finished the pictures seeing and she took back the album and dismissed me nicely..

I dashed out and immediately my phone rang and it was mom..

"Hello":I said..

"Are you crazy,where on earth are you, I want you to come back in some minutes or else you will see what I do":she said hanging up..

Farrah shouted frustratedly as she stomped her legs on the ground knowing her mom's anger issues..

"And now am dead":she said huffing air..

She made her way to the main house silently,all her energy has already drained out of her..

"Dr Farrah it is already time for maghrib and it looks like it is about to rain,you know it is not safe just spend the night here":Mamitah said in a concerned tone..

"No I can't,my mom is surely going to skin me alive and.......................":she trailed as she looked at Mubin who was coming in..

"She is right Far,we can call your mom and explain to her,you know the situation is very critical it is not safe to go out now":he said but Farrah still wasn't convinced..

Their is a commotion going on,the people of Adamawa are protesting against the governor hence everybody is adviced to stay at home from 8-9pm because that is the time the people come out and start their noises..

"You guys don't know my mom as much as I do":She said shaking her head knowing that her mom can pull out a big stunt because of this..

"I am going and nothing can stop me":Farrah said as she tried running outside ignoring the calls she was getting from Mubin and his mom..

She stood in the middle of the compound as her breath got hitched,she have heard alot about your heart missing a beat but she had never gone through it but right now her heard missed a beat,she slowly moved back as she looked at the two giant figures infront of her..

"DOGS":She shouted running back and they followed her..

The two giant dogs were barking as they followed her..

"Farrah stop running and stay right where you are":she heard Mubin shout out and as if on cue she stayed right there..

She looked at the dogs that were one feet away from her barking as they bought out their tongues..

She panted as she slowly wiped the sweat trickling down her face with her sweaty hands,tears slowly run down from her eyes as she closed her eyes tightly..

Perhaps she is scared of dogs..
