Jadwa

"Lawyer?" He asked in disbelief

"Yup" i said with a wide smile

"You?" I asked then he chuckled and turned to look at me

"Electrical engineer" he replied

"But the question you're supposed to ask is "whats your job?"" He explained

"Ughh show off" I joked falling on the bed

We were seated in my room with him on the chair and i on the bed with bunch of chocolates he got laying on one side of the bed,

We decided to do questions and answers since we had nothing else to do,

I cant even remember the last time i raised my hand to do any chore,

"Do you even know the work i do?" He asked again

"You've never told me" I replied taking a bite from the diary milk i was taking

He then stretched his hand and i handed him a piece

"So sad a wife doesn't know her husband's job" he said making me choke a little

"You never cared to tell me" I replied taking a sip from the water close to me

"Okay you next" i said looking at him

He swallowed what he was chewing and looked at me then he paused before thinking

"Whats your favorite color?" He asked and i smiled

"Red" we said all at once and i raised my head to give him a surprised look

"How did you know?" I asked then he smiled and continued

"I know everything about you Jad, the only mew thing I learned today is that you want to become a lawyer" he explained

"Awwnn"

We did lots of questions and answers that I started drifting in sleep mid way and didn't even know when i passed out,

When i woke up he wasn't there and all the chocolates were placed back neatly inside the box

I went and prayed then sat back down and called him but he wasn't picking so i went out to meet my grandmother

She made me lay on her lap as usual,

"Baby you need your hair made" she said when my cap came off revealing my unmade hair

I was jumping inside because its been long that i had a good hair made,

I was seated in the parlor watching when a woman came to make my hair and did henna for me,

I was so excited because it's been long that i did all those and i was so anxious to see sultan so that he can see the henna but he didn't come around or called back,

Throughout dinner i was just turning waiting to see if he will appear but he didn't

The next morning Mama told me we were leaving at 1, we were going back to Zaria,

I went and took my bath because i met my things already packed and taken outside,

I called him again but still no answer and i was shy to ask Mama where he was,

Yes Mama is the queen and she forbid me from calling her your highness,

I was quiet throughout the journey I didn't even know when we reached because i slept throughout,

Around 6 i was bored so I decided to go to Amlas place,

"Why are you acting strange?" I asked when i saw how she was talking quietly

"Just scared" she replied

"Of what kuma?" I asked her and she started talking about how i am no longer a maid, how i have a higher standard now and its going to be so weird for us to be so close,

I was so angry but I calmed myself and told her not to ever say that again,

After talking for a bit i went back to Mamas chamber,

I prayed maghrib and sat on my bedside playing game on my phone when i heard a faint knock on the door

"Baby" he said immediately I opened the door but I ignored him and turned to go back to what i was doing

"I'm so sorry please wallahi something came up that i had to go to abuja and unfortunately i left my phone back in kazaure, I'm so sorry please" he explained and apologized

I still didn't say anything so he came and sat close to me,

"I'm sorry kinji?" He said again

Just then someone entered but I didn't bother to turn and see was

"Aunty Jadwa" i heard amal's voice but before i turned she was already strangling me with a tight hug

"Had to file a complaint to child support Jadwa, i went to abuja specially because I didn't want us to leave jigawa without her" he started explaining

"I......." I didn't even let him finish his sentence I started sobbing and thanking him

"I'm sorry for how i acted, thank you so much wallahi I don't know how to thank you" i said wiping my tears

"Shhh you deserve everything in this world Jad"

"Let me leave you guys I'll see you gobe kinji, im so tired"

"It's okay" i said waving "thank you" i said again

When he left i went to set warm water for Amal to bath,

I dressed her with the only not torn cloth i saw in her bag,

"Kinci abinci?" I asked and she nodded so we laid on my bed with her sleeping on my arm

The next morning I didn't know how to ask for new clothes for her because they've done enough for me and I don't have any money to buy more for her,

As if someone heard my thoughts I heard a knock on the door and immediately I opened i saw Sultan with a huge teddy bear,

"Hi babe" he said walking past me

"Amal baby here" he said handing her the teddy bear

"Your room is ready do you wanna see it?" He asked and she nodded smiling widely

"Show it to her" he said to the maid still standing on the door without even a smile

When they left I looked at him waiting for him to talk then he smiled

"Baby you look so beautiful this morning" he complimented holding my hand to see my henna

"You wanted the teddy bear too dont you?" He asked with a chuckle

"Meeeee?? Noooo" I awkwardly said but deep down i wanted it

He then smiled and dragged me to the room they arranged for Amal,

"Wow" I exclaimed when i saw the room, I didn't know when tears started rolling down my eyes



"Thank you so much Sultan" i said again and he hugged me saying it's nothing

"I hope she likes it?" Mama said coming into the room making me release myself from his hug immediately,

"Good morning Mama" i greeted and she hugged me pecking my cheek

"Morning baby" she replied

"Amal" she called holding her

"You see your new room koh?" She asked her and she nodded still hugging her teddy

"Where is the doll house?" Mama asked the maid

"Where is it?" Sultan asked in a voice I haven't heard for a long time, the mean emotionless voice

"Sorry" she whispered trembling and rushed out immediately coming out with a large dollhouse

"I'll take care of her Jadwa kinji you don't need to worry about anything" she assured and i nodded thanking her agaain

"They needed to make sure that the person adopting her was capable of taking care of her and give her a good education but you're not working so I signed the papers myself" he explained

"You've done enough Sultan and thank you so much for going to this length to make sure that she was okay" i said smiling weakly

I saw Amal happy which was what i prayed for and Alhamdulillah it's answered now,

"Please go to Musain's wedding with me Jad" he asked showing me the invitation card

"Oh my God he's getting married" I exclaimed snatching the card from him

"Yup" he replied

"To umm what was her name again?" I said forgetting the name of his girlfriend that had a heart transplant

"Zainab"

"Zainab yeahhh" i said smiling widely

"Allah ya kaimu toh" i said handing the card back to him

"Is it okay with you if after the wedding we escort them to london for just a few days?" He asked quietly as if he was afraid of asking

"London?" I asked sounding so surprised

"Yeah Jadwa i know that the last time we went it wasn't so nice for you and i want to make things right" he explained

"That i have to ask mama" i honestly replied and he nodded

"We'll be going to Abuja next tomorrow okay? The event will start that day" he said and i replied with a quick "okay"

"Did you tell mama about it?" I asked and he jokingly frowned "C'mon Jadwa shes also going ai" he said and I chuckled and nodded

"Okay toh Allah ya kaimu"

Sorry if Musain's girlfriends name is not zainab o i cant remember the name i gave her but still lets meet in the final chapter y'all There's gonna be an epilogue don't worry 😉
