He who puts his matters in the hands of the Almighty will surely have them taken care of.

   Its time for dinner at Ahmad's and everyone gathered at the dining table. Ahmad , his dad,mum,brother and sister ,all of them Blushing and ready for dinner except for Ahmad.
Nana said yaya what's wrong with you ,you don't seem happy today even though your fav dish is served ,he just look at her with a fake smile and say I have no appetite .
Dad can we talk now pls ,can't u see we are eating and you know its bad to talk while you are eating so we'll talk after dinner please. He just noded his head down in anger and waited for the family to finish up their dinner.
Mum asked why he haven't touched his food yet and he repeated again "I have no appetite " OK said his mum.

Umaima and mum are done making chicken salad and are now eating and gisting ,mum asked so now that you are done schooling what will you do ,get married or work.
Muuuuuuummmm am too young to get married am just 20 .
Look at this girl I got married at the age of 15 to your dad .
Really mum😂
Waw no wonder we look like age mates.
You are too silly maima ,don't change the topic .
OK mum I really want to just run my own business for now and wait for the good man.
Mum asked so what's the business plan, mum u know I love writing books and cooking so I'll want a  coffee shop where I will serve snacks,desserts light dishes,and different coffee,I can also sit there and write my book.
Waw!! What a great idea ,its really good ,I will talk to your dad about it am sure he's gonna love this brilliant idea.
Really mum,u know your daughter got big brains😊.
Yeah I know silly girl,put on the TV let's watch our program please
Ok mum ,but when is dad coming back from mmmmm what's the name of the country sef,
Its beulah  ,and he's coming back tomorrow but he wants to surprise you so don't show him you know he's coming back OK?
Oryt mum I won't ,but what are we cooking for him.
umm his fav dish of course .OK mumma.

Hanan's mum came  into the room and asked what's wrong ,why is this place so messy and why are you crying ,she bursed into another cry and told her mum what's going on.

OK my dear stop crying and calm down its going to be OK.
No ,mum its not going to be ok you know how Ahmad respect  his parent and he will do anything to make them happy ,am afraid he might leave me to make them happy, and I can't leave without him mum.
OK dear stand up and pray ,leave everything in the hands of Allah its going to be OK.

Mum please ,this is not the time for prayer or something ,I haven't prayed magrib too,I need to hear some good news from Ahmad before I think of any prayer ,
OK as you wish ,come out for dinner when you get hungry.
Oryt mum bye.
(What a family😳).

Ahmad's dad Alhaji Muhammad Hashim is done eating and ready to discuss with his son ,he asked his younger brother and sister to leave the dining, leaving only the three of them.
So dad what's that bad thing you find out that's gonna stop this wedding.
Listen my son it might seem pretty stupid to you but its very important ,you know when checking a persons background you have to sometimes go through their friends and people that live around them,
yes dad.

I met one of her old friends and she told me how their friendship ended because she's from a poor family,another man told me how many rich guys he's seeing her around with but he said she recently stopped and maybe it's because she's getting married.

So dad you see she's changing because she wants to get married dad pls!
No son,I also personally don't like her dress sense,
Dad this is something that could be changed ,once we get married and I show her I don't like the way she dresses am sure she'll change, dad pls trust me.
Dad just smiled and say you are too young ,you won't understand what am talking about so just go and get some sleep.
Dad pls ,I won't be able to sleep like this.
Mum cut in and say ,your dad is right u have to get some rest and think about his decision ,please go and sleep on it .
Dad and mum head to their room,leaving Ahmad puzzled on the dining ,his eyes turn red but he still try to keep calm.

His two siblings came to confront him and remind him to always pray and leave everything in the hands of Allah he will surely ease your pain.
Thanks guys ,I'll leave for bed, good night .
