TALE OF ZAINAB
CHAPTER 9

AMMAR

"Did my opinion matters?
There are 3maids in this house Amina,
3, we don't have any child to even say he/she need a maid, you work most of the time from home why this extravagance lifestyle,
Please do as you please,
I'm late for work,"I say and quickly grab my phone from the couch before exiting the parlour.

Amina is one of a wife material,
She's just so concentrated about her career that she forget her responsibility as a wife,
3 maids are much for this house and now she's talking about about an extra maid, I push all thoughts from my head.

"No it's fine I'm going alone today."I say collecting the keys from the driver, I quickly climb the car and drive out of the house,
I wake up late today it's quarter past 10am, I don't have anything much to do at the hospital so I'm stopping by at Zainab's place,
I stop by the supermarket and buy some few stuffs before heading to the house, I park my car at the usual spot and grab the white nylon to start the 15minutes walk to her house,
I was hoping if i tell Zainab how i feel about her she will let me give her a more comfortable place to say, this entire area is so unhealthy for human health, from afar I'm suprise to see the house door close with even a padlock, I continue walking and decide to ask the few people passing by.

"Sorry please,
Is Zainab not in the house?"I ask and the man shake his head.

"Yesterday evening her husband relative send her out."he explain and i look confuse at the man then to the door.

"They send her out?
Where did she go to then?
What about the children?"I ask and the man just shrug.

"From what we heard that they left with the little girl karima and left Zainab with kamal,
Sir if you will excuse me I'm on my way to somewhere."the man say and leave me standing dumbstruck in confusion, I sigh and look around the area and back to the door.

"Impossible."I say to myself and head back to my car.

Where could she be?
Zainab and i Haven't had any conversation about her family,
Usually she always try to make sure our conversation remain formal and casual,
The only thing she told me about her is that she's from Maiduguri, could it be that she left for Maiduguri?
But knowing Zainab she would never leave karima,
I sigh and open my car, I throw the white nylon inside the car before climbing with a disappointing sigh, as i drive out of the area i keep asking myself where can i find Zainab?

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Zainab

The next morning i make sure i wake up early i help the lady around the house with the chores, even do she doesn't have any friendly smile or welcoming Aura she still make sure we ate last night and this morning she gave us the necessary things we need, we had a decent breakfast and i make sure i clean her house to my satisfaction.

"Wow,
Weldone."she say with a smile, it's the first time i see a smile on her face and she looks beautiful.

"You should go and start packing Amina say she's coming,
She will be here anytime soon."she say and i nod.

I head back to the bedroom where kamal has fallen asleep once again probably enjoying the soft mattress and the calming AC,
I arrange our bags making sure everything looks neat, this lady gave me some of her clothes saying she doesn't need them and even a suitcase I guess the clean up was helpful to me to, I do be lieing to myself if i say i don't need clothes,
I can't remember when last i bought clothes for myself, life is just so difficult that I forget about taking care of myself.
