26 year old young arrogant multi-millionaire Zain Kamaluddeen hasn't met the lady who has reached his standards.
17 year old Jaudah Suraj's life revolves around reading and being happy. Her go-to phrase has always been 'The key to happiness is reali...
Jaudah was able to prepare so many snacks of different varieties for Mr. Kamalludeen, taking her mind off Zain for the time being.
After she was done, she went to Ammi's room to ask her if she could take the snacks to Mr. Kamalludeen herself since it was Sunday. She was sure he was at home.
With a knock and a 'salam', she opened the door to Ammi's room and went in when Ammi gave her permission to come in.
She sat beside her, placing her head on Ammi's shoulder who was already used to it. One thing about Jaudah is, she likes being on another person's body. Resting her head on Ammi's shoulder or lap is one thing she likes doing a lot.
"Hal antahayat min alwajabat alkhafifa?" (Are you done with the snacks?)" Ammi asked while playing with Jaudah's well combed hair.
"Na'am Ammi (Yes Ammi), hal yumkinuni 'an akhadhah 'iilayh binafsi (can I please take it to him myself?)" She asked, hoping Ammi would agree.
"Of course you can, but don't stay too long. It's 4pm already, make sure you come back by 6pm."
"I won't stay long Inshallah, I will be back on time," Jaudah promised Ammi as she walked out of the room to go get herself ready so she could leave.
Jaudah wore nude makeup to look presentable. She wore her atampha (Ankara) which was sown in a simple skirt and blouse, with a very big brown veil. She is not a fan of hijab and that's why she decided to go with the big veil to look more modest.

She packed everything in a plastic container and placed them in a woven bag and said a goodbye to Ammi and Ammar, who was also at home watching football before exiting the living room to the parking lot where their driver waited for her. She had already told him to get the car ready.

The ride from Asokoro to Maitama wasn't long and they got there on time. Jaudah knew it wouldn't be easy getting through all the security guards at the Kamalludeen's mansion without stress. She phoned Fareeda so she could get an easy access into the mansion.
Just like expected, Fareeda asked the guards to let Jaudah in. After informing her driver to pick her up by 6pm, Jaudah climbed down the car and went in to where Fareeda was waiting for her.
"Hey Fareeda, how are you?" Jaudah asked, smiling at her.
"I'm fine Jaudah, and you?" Fareeda asked, hugging Jaudah.
"I'm fine also, I like your house, it's beautiful," Jaudah complimented, noting that the mansion was indeed big.
"It really is," Fareeda agreed with a smile, "I'm so sorry about the guards," She added.
"Oh. it's okay. They are only doing their job. Besides.. I'm the one who came without notifying you first," Jaudah brushed it off.
"Don't mind them Jaudah.. and let me tell you something, you are welcome here any day, anytime. I'll tell them to always let you in," Fareeda assured her as she opened the door to the main living room.
