Later that day

"Okay yaya Mahmoud we are done packing and mama has given inna the farm so we are ready to go" afrah said putting on her medicated glasses on

"You seem happy to leave this place aren't going to miss your friends" Adnan asked making her scoff

"Friends you say? All my friends are married with children and their mothers always tells them not to befriend me because I'm a spinster" afrah replied rolling her

"Aren't you just 18" Adnan asked

"Exactly my point" afrah yelled as she threw her arms in the the air

"Don't worry lil sis you will have many friends in Abuja" Mahmoud said wrapping his arms around her shoulders

"Like zina,she is really nice" Adnan said with a dreamy smile

''its nice to see you guys getting along well" Ammi said handing Adnan their suitcase so that he will put it in the booth

"Everything is set, let's hit the road" Adnan announced and with that being said they all entered the car and zoomed off

Abuja
Still Author's POV

"Wow maa shaa Allah Abuja is so beautiful, yaya Mahmoud can you please get me a phone and sim card" afrah pleaded with puppy dog eyes when the got out of the airport

"Awn of course anything for you" Mahmoud said tapping her nose

"Umm Mahmoud can I ask you for a favor please" Adnan asked when they entered the SUV

"Yeah sure what is it" Mahmoud answered his eyes glued to his phone

"Can we please visit zina,its not like I'm going to be coming to Nigeria regularly and I miss her please" Adnan pleaded

"I don't think-"

"Think of it as a chance for afrah to meet someone new and ammi to get acquainted with zina's mom" Adnan suggested gesturing Ammi and afrah who were shaking their heads in agreement they could see how much Adnan wanted to see this zina girl and they couldn't break his heart by saying no

"Okay fine" Mahmoud agreed rolling his eyes, he can't believe that he is going to see that nutcase again

''Let me give her a call" Adnan said fishing his phone from his pocket

Zina's POV

Ring.......
Ring.........
Ring............

I heard my phone ringing so I hurriedly ran to my room before the call cuts, its a number i saw but I still picked the call cause I don't have the credit to call back

"Hi zina" Adnan said glad that she finally picked up the call

"Adnan? Is that you? Why I'm I seeing Nigerian number?" I asked all in one go making him chuckle

"Calm down, I'm in Nigeria and I called to ask for your address we are coming over"  Adnan asked

"Coming over?? When?" I asked back my eyes widening in surprise

"Right now here talk to the driver and give him directions" Adnan replied passing the phone to driver

I told the driver where I live and he said they will be here in 20 minutes

I look at my self in the mirror and decided to change my outfit from a blue shirt and wrapper to a fitted skirt and blouse, I applied some Kohl and lipgloss. I headed downstairs to inform everyone that the people that helped me in Egypt are coming over and mom ordered the maid to clean the house again

She said and i quote 'Ba zan so su zo su ga gidan mu gajagaja bah, kafin su ce ai rashin kudi ne ya sa ki ka gudu' (I won't want them to come and see the house dirty before they start saying it's because we don't have money that's why you ran away)

I entered the kitchen and asked the maids if we have some small chops and they said yes,with that I left the kitchen and went back to my room to carry a maroon veil that will go with my outfit

I heard a honk and I quickly rushed to the window to see if it was them

I saw Mahmoud, Adnan and two ladies one around her early 40s while the other looks like my age mate

I went downstairs and informed the maids that they are four so that they will prepare the tray

I went back upstairs and informed mom they are here,gosh why didn't I just tell her when I was carrying veil now I have to go downstairs

"As'salamualaikum" I salam and they replied with smiles on their faces well except Mahmoud who didn't even look my way

"Welcome Adnan welcome Mahmoud" I welcomed with a big smile on my face mirroring Adnan's

"Thank you zina" Adnan replied to my kind gesture while Mahmoud just nodded his head not looking at me

"Welcome" I turned to the two ladies, they look like Mahmoud are they his family?

"Wow maa shaa Allah wallahi you are so beautiful maa" I complimented the lady making her chuckle

"Zina this is ammi and this afrah all the way from Zaria" Adnan said gesturing them with his hands

"Nice meeting you zina" ammi and afrah chorused

"Nice meeting you too, jamila! Zara! Iman! Ku kawo wa baki na ruwa da abun da za su sa abaki mana(bring some water and food for my guests)" I yelled so that the maids can hear me

"Let me call mama" I excuse myself standing up when I saw the maids rushing in with trays of different delicacies

"Mama sun iso(the have arrived)" I announced after entering the room

"Toh I'm Coming" mama said putting on her gold necklace, she looks so beautiful in her red and white lace

"Mama kin yi kyau Maa shaa Allah(you look so beautiful) and look we are wearing the same the same color of clothes" I complimented making her smile

"Oya come let's not keep them waiting" mama said heading out and I trailed behind her like the obedient daughter I am

"Zeenah I forgot my phone upstairs please bring it for me I will wait for you" mama ordered and I complied without any complain

Since the day I told ammar my name isn't ZINATU it's zeenah mama has been calling me that and I can tell she is mocking me but i decided to ignore it,i picked up her phone from the bed and headed downstairs again!

I gave her the phone and we headed to the living room

"Sorry for the delay i-"

"Ya khadija!" Ammi shouted cutting me off, is she referring to my mom? Why is she calling her ya? I turned and looked at mama and she had a confused face

"Asmau!" Mama whispered shocked
