Mafia's Mistress

Chapter 31

Authors POV
Abuja, Nigeria
Aminu bashir resident

The maids were running helter skelter as mama barked orders at them, she wants every nook and cranny of the house to look squeaky clean for Zinatu even though she misses her daughter a lot she is still angry at her for running away, what if she fell on the wrong hands and something happened her but Alhamdulilallah Allah (swt) kept her beloved safe and she couldn't wait to see zinat again. Like they always say a watched pot never boils, so she started cleaning to get her mind off thinking about zinat

While baba on the hand was looking at the TV, he wasn't watching it nor comprehending anything that was being said, he was thinking about zinat, how will she react when she sees them? Will she be angry,sad or happy? Will she yell at them for not telling her the truth or will she smile and hugged then as if nothing had happened? Baba sighed as he rubbed his temples and tries to focus on the news

Ya Nabil couldn't even sit, the moment he sits down he feels a needle prick his butt making him jump of his feet and starts to pace, he had been at it for 20 minutes now

''can you please find a place and sit down or leave cause you are making me feel dizzy" ya Nana yelled angrily glaring at her junior brother

"Or better yet go and find something to do" ya Nana added with her famous glare

Ya Nabil grabbed his keys from the center table and headed to the door when a voice stopped him

"where are you going" ya husna (ya jafar's wife) asked holding 7 months old ihsan as she descended from the stairs with ya jafar hot on her trails

"I'm going to go get zinat some of her favorite chocolates" he replied and she nodded, without another word he left them all to drown in their thoughts

Sofi who was in her room checked her self in the mirror, she lost weight, her eyes were red due to crying , she looked pale, her dark skin looked darker and her hair looks like a beds nest all in all she looks like a mess

She quickly jumped into the shower and scrubbed every inch of her skin with the sponge in her bathroom, she came out and dressed up, she looked much better now

Just thinking about what fadil said about accepting any proposal that his father proposed to him made her whimper,so all those I love yous and I can't live without you were lies! "you promised to marry me fadil! You said that if you were to give your life so that I live you won't hesitate! You said nothing will break us apart! You said that you would wait for me even if takes an eternity! You said I'm the girl of your dreams but I guess you woke from that dream" Sofi said as she allowed the tears to stream freely and wet her pillow

she had no one to turn to all her friends are not ready to listen to her issues all they want is to go shopping every day while her sisters are busy with their married lives and zinat went missing and didn't want anything to do with them

She didn't know when she slept off

Zinat's POV

Ahh Nigeria my country, it's been 6 months only but it felt like 6 years, I even forgot your breeze.

Ya zafeer and I just got off the plane and headed outside turns out he ordered an Uber as I stepped out I was welcomed by a hot glare from the sun as if it was telling me to go back from where I came, I huffed in annoyance as I fanned myself with my hand I looked around and saw everyone going about their normal businesses

By my left was a woman roasting maize, so the heat of sun wasn't enough for her but then again she wasn't doing this to for fun she was doing it to fend for her family

I walked to her and gave her five thousand naira notes that was in my purse

''Ah ya'ta guda nawa kike so? (ah my daughter how many do you want) " the woman asked with a big smile that melted my heart

"A'a ba siya zan yi ba, ki samu abun da za ki ce ke da yara angina (No I'm not buying anything, you should buy something to eat you and your children)" i smiled warmly

"A'a wallah ya'ta ki bar shi kawaii, nagode sosai ama bazan iya amsa ba ( no my daughter you shouldn't have bothered, thank you so much but I can't accept this) " the woman said with teary eyes

"Haba mamana za ki bata min rai in baki amsa ba (my mother you will make me angry if you don't collect)" I replied and added 10k to her making the woman to own 15k, the woman became rooted to her spot as tears started gliding down her cheeks

"nagode nagode nagode sosai, Allah yayi Miki albarka (thank you thank you thank you, May Allah bless) " the woman thanked wiping her tears but they just kept rolling down her cheeks

"Mai na godiya, ba komai mamana (no need to thank me it's nothing)" i smiled and left the lady there,i entered the car and was immediately welcomed by the cold air of AC making me sigh in delight, finally out of the scorching hot sun

Just thinking about that lady made me smile, I love helping the poor and being the reason behind someone's smile

I leaned back to my sit and closed my eyes as I massaged my temples and soon enough I fell into a dream less slumber

*****
I felt a hand tapping me and I tried shrugging it off and it worked for just a second

"Wake up, we are home" I heard ya zafeer's voice making me jerk up from my sleep, all the traces of sleep vanished from eyes as I turned to the window and saw my whole family with big smiles on their faces that made me think their faces might split into two

Am I ready?
What will I say to them?
How should I feel?
Should I just let it slide or I should confront them?
Should I give all of them warm hugs and smiles ?
Or
Should I glare at them and give them a piece of my mind!? Or should I simply ignore them?
Or let bygones be bygones?

If you were zina what would wil you do?
