This is my fate

Chapter 28

Unknown POV

This here is my granddaughter her parents died in a car accident shortly after she was giving birth to her father was my son we come from a village in katsina

My husband happens to be a womanizer he goes around following girls in the village he got some pregnant he does nothing but smoke around with his friends he doesn't even care what people say a man of his age doing stuff like that

When our son died it got worst he started sleeping out of the house and also coming back late he doesn't care if I eat or starve he stopped eating my food he'd rather buy from the woman selling food in the village he says I might poison him to death

My son moved to the city a long time ago around the time he finished his secondary school in the neighboring village so he left for the city to continue with his studies I supported him which mother wouldn't his father disowned him for that he wanted him to stay in the village and go to the farm like almost everyone in the village but I didn't want that for my son

I forced him to leave the village and he left before leaving I gave him all my savings to support himself for awhile his father cursed me saying I was wicked for keeping that money for I and my son he never knew I was so heartless I cried my eyes out but never said anything

From time to time my son would visit the village spend some few days and then leave his father would never speak to him

A day came and my son came to visit his father for the first time since he left spoke to him but it wasn't nice

Ahmad I called you here to speak to you no wait what I mean is I called you here because I want you to marry my friends daughter my friend Lawal you know his daughter Jannah

But Abba am not ready for that yet am just in my third year in the university I have nothing right now that I can take care of someone and apart from that I already have someone in mind

Look here young man am not asking you am telling you unless if you want to tell me that I don't have any right over you I know what that usless mother of yours have been telling you I've said what I want to say you will marry her and that's finally now leave here before I lose my mind the sight of you irritates me

I was in my room I could hear their conversation Ahmad was right he had nothing right now he's still a student struggling to finish school

The next day in the morning when I was sure my husband has left the house I called Ahmad to room

Ahmad zauna Ina son muyi magana I heard everything your father said to you last night and I came up with a solution we might not like it but it's for the best "I suggest you go back to the city now and don't come back you have no future here if you stay here your father wouldn't let you make anything out of your life so I suggest you go back to the city get done with your education get a job before thinking of ever coming here

But Umma that's too much for me it'll mean I won't be able to see you or talk to you "I know but we just have to do this it's for the best it'll all come to past ok now I want you to get ready and leave before he comes back home

Okay Umma I have a small phone in my room in the city I'll give you this one so that we can atleast communicate if I can't see you I can atleast talk to you I'll be recharging it for you from time to time"I'll get ready to leave now

Ahmad left before his father came back home he didn't notice Ahmad was gone untill the third day
