No no! Please don't do that you're making me feel guilty please and please get up. Don't do that please.
I'm not getting up till you say you love me or at least give me a chance.
Okay...... Will you give me a chance? He asked immediately cutting me off.
No- okay I really don't know but....
it's okay if you don't want to give me a chance. No problem I can manage. He said raising up and getting out immediately.
Am sorry please. It's not what I mean I.... I swear trying to explain but he cut me off.
I told you am okay. It's okay. I can't force you do what you don't wish to. He said but his face showing nearly opposite of what he said. He entered his car and drove off. I stood like an idiot not really knowing what was going on. I went inside and met Ummah and Tim Tim sitting all thinking. Y'all that thinking is enough I have a great news to tell you and also a bad one.I told them everything including how he begged for a chance.
Tim Tim jumped with happiness Alhamdullilah Allah na Gode maka.
Do you think we should leave him do this? He has done so many things for us and I think he needs to do this for us. Said Ummah
Ummah for Allah's sake we are in need and this man gave it to us. We were not the ones that begged him. Said Tim Tim .
Rufe min baki you don't think when you want something Wallahi. Ummah scolded Tim Tim while she pouted. But what do you you think muna
At first when he told me, I also said the same thing you said but he told me that he's doing it for his sister in law and that very soon he'll snatch you from me. I said laughing. I think we should just leave him but maybe tell him . Since he wants to help us.
Gaskiya I need to thank him and I also need to talk to his mom. But muna don't you think this man needs a chance? I mean not because of what he did but you ought to give him a chance. Like what his mom said, he loves you and you also love him. Stop being paranoid and just give him a chance. Even if you wouldn't do it for him or yourself, do it for his mother. She's a caring woman and nice woman. And also he has done so many things for you that he deserves something in return. And if you look at it, he loves you. You said yourself that he let down his guards for you, that he also knelt in front of you begging you to give him a chance. What do you need again to prove that he loves you?
Why are y'all saying I'm being paranoid? It's not a matter of being paranoid or what I need to prove that he loves me. You know what I've encountered previously. I trusted Jafar so easily but he betrayed me so it's not that easy for me to trust him easily. I said sitting down.
Ya muna I am not supposed to say something about this matter but I'll also say try and give him a chance.
I'm telling you to just go and think. Are you going to stay like this without getting married? And I don't think there's someone like Naseer.
Okay but I'll see if I can give him a chance

After all that incident, after the day he left angrily or whatever it is. He didn't call me again like he does again and didn't come again. He called 3 days later and told me to send account number. He transferred 700k to my account. He said house rent and for Tim Tim's Waec fees and any other extra things. He called me to tell me that he has transferred money and Ummah collected the phone telling him it's too much. She told him to give his mother. He took the phone to his mother and Ummah pleaded with her to tell him it's too much but that woman said if he doesn't spend his money for us then who's he going to spend on. After that, he didn't call me again and also I didn't call him again. I kept asking myself maybe he's angry with me because I didn't give him a chance. But why will he send me this money if he's done with me and doesn't want to marry me again. And it's now that I feel I want to give him a chance. He has returned back to Norway .
I tossed my phone on the bed because I've called him so many times but he didn't pick. I don't know if he's angry with me or not. I called again and fortunately he picked up.
Hello muna. Said his husky voice from the other end.
Erm hello I...called you so many times but you didn't pick up.
Oh I kept my phone and went doing important things I didn't see your missed call or I'd better say missed call(s)
Are you still upset about what happened the other day? I'm sorry I would not do it again please.
Have I ever mentioned that I'm angry or upset with you? He said sounding rude.
I know you are angry cuz you didn't call me again or come to our house you just booked a flight back to Norway.
I can't remember mentioning I'm angry. You didn't want to give me a chance so I left you maybe that's what's best for us.
It's okay bye take care. I said and hung up.
Have you told him? Asked munifa sitting on the bed.
I sighed and said, No I haven't he sounded rude so I felt this is not the right time.
She rolled her eyes and said,How long will you be doing that? I mean hiding your feelings for each other?
Shan't be much longer doing that. I'll tell him when it's the right time.
I'll advise you to just tell him now. Maybe he will not be angry anymore if you tell him. Perhaps he may be happy. Said munifa sipping the lemon she made for herself.
Do you think it'll work?
I don't really know but am sure if he loves you he will be happy unless.. Unless if he doesn't want to marry you again. But for now just try your luck. Said munifa shrugging at the end of the sentence.
I dialed his number and luckily for me he picked. Erm... I wanted to tell you... That..erm..uhmm.. I said not being able to say a sentence or I'd better say word
What's it please muna I have so many important things to attend to. Have I ever mentioned that he's now working? If no then he's working. His father owns a company and the head quarter is in Abuja while they are branches in other countries all over the world. Ya Naseer is the head of the branch in Norway, so that's the reason why he goes there often.
So am not important Ko? I said not knowing when I said it because I think my mouth betrayed me and said it without My permission.
Your words not mine now can I go?
And what if I say I love you? I asked unexpected.
What! Are you sure am not having any problem with my ear? He asked in surprise.
Yes you heard me right I like you and am ready to give you a chance.
Alhamdullilah! All thanks goes to Ya Allah. He yelled happily. I've imagined him yelling with joy right now. I'm coming. He said which confused me not sure of what he's going to do. A minute later, He came back. Nayi sujjada just to thank Allah for giving me what I've been eating my heart out to. You have no idea how happy I am.
I thought you said you won't mind even if I didn't give you a chance.
Forget about that muna I am booking a flight right away and come back.
No please don't abandon all your important work and come.
You are more important than they are.
I kept quiet for a moment. Is something wrong muna ? Asked Ya Naseer sounding worried.
Please and please don't make me regret my decision.
Insha Allah Allah muna I'll never leave you. I'll always be with you no matter how hard the situations are

I saw zee zee looking at me like she wants to say something.
She came back from Azare bauchi and the rest all came back from Germany because Mimi and ya tima's school resumed while zee zee came back from seeing her parents . The next day after they came back, mami came to our house she thanked me for giving him a chance I was feeling guilty. Mimi and ya tima danced happily saying I'll soon be thier brother's wife.
Zee zee ta Neymar is something wrong ?
Can you please tell me what's between you and ya Naseer? Why is he doing all this for you why he got a helping hand for you, always call you, mami calling you her daughter while the rest calling you sister in-law. You do so Many things without caring to let me know. I thought friends never hide anything to each other.Said zee zee looking annoyed
Zee zee I am sorry. We were not supposed to hide anything from you as friends it would not happen again. Explain to her Mimi. I said looking at Mimi who was on the counter laughing at her phone like a lunatic. She was watching funny videos on tik tok.
I expected her to ask me about what she'll explain because how she acted as if her whole attention was on the phone. Ashe Yar banzar tana jin Mu.
Okay it started......... She explained everything to see zee from the beginning to the end. Zee zee's facial expression didn't show she is happy. I realized that nowadays, since when Ya Naseer started changing his attitude towards me, since when he got a helping hand for me zee zee always frowns her face when with me. I shrugged it off and continue slicing my chips. Today is a Saturday morning so I'm cooking breakfast for them and also because I have a helping hand now I only cook thats why I cook breakfast lunch and dinner or sometimes wash thier toilets when am done with my work. The helping hand they got me is a small girl also from Kano. She a very hardworking girl that's respects people. I cried for the girl when she told me her story. Ya Allah I wonder if people forget they will be judgment day. This girl's mother died when giving birth to her. So all her life she knew her stepmother to be her mother. But her step mother never loved her for once. She does everything for her stepmother since when she was small. She beats her with no mercy and her father has no say. The Evil stepmother sold the girl to a rich man when she was ten years old and nobody knows the man's job. He took the girl to South and kept her in a room waiting for the time to use her for rituals. Allah helped this girl run from there and that was how she found herself here.
Rahina brought me back from my revire. Anty muna what can I help you with?
Don't worry Rahina am almost done are done with sweeping?
Yep I'm done with everything now.
Just go and rest it's okay I'll finish it on my own but I'll call you to help me set table.
OK
She left the kitchen. I checked just to see neither Mimi nor zee zee are in the kitchen. I wonder when the left. I finished everything just in time. My jerked chicken, fries and colsow is ready now.
I called Rahina to help me set the table because I know how she likes setting of table. Ya Naseer was the first to sit.
My Jadwa are you done? He asked sitting down.
Jadwa? How am I now Jadwa?. I asked looking puzzled.
Yes Jadwa means gift in Arabic and you are a special gift that Allah gifted me with and which I can never get something up to this gift.
I chuckled putting chips on his plate.
I've been calling you but it's not going through. He said sipping the Mango juice.
Wallahi my phone mistakenly fell in water and it's not functioning now.
Uh-oh but why didn't you tell me?
Never mind I'll put it in bag of rice I've heard so many people saying they did it and it worked.
I said smiling.
He shrugged well which car do you like and you'll advise people to buy. Asked Ya Naseer
Are you going to change car? I asked him while he nodded meaning yes. But why am I the one to choose for you. I don't really know cars
Because everything you are okay with am also okay with it. It's okay but what about phones
Uhmm.. But also not a fan of phones but I can tell you among the little I know I'll prefer iPhone X but that the problem is, it isn't durable. I'll advise you to buy what's durable.
Ladies and looking for durable things. He said laughing.
Did you see our fault here? I asked laughing. He also laughed with me but we were cut by ya tima and Mimi. Awwwwwn! Couple crush said Ya tima taking a picture.
Hope you are not posting this picture? I asked my eyes about to budge out.
Of course we are posting it babe. Said Mimi
Don't post it Mimi do you want people to see my one and only Jadwa. Said Ya Naseer smirking.
Awwwn ya Naseer when did you change like that. Muna you've changed him Wallahi. Said Ya tima serving herself. I left the place closing my face with my palms
---------------------_-----------------------------
Ya Naseer is here. Said Tim Tim. I put my viel and ambulated outside.
My Jadwa Kinganni yanzu Ko? You know I can't sleep without seeing your face.
But I left your house not long ago. You saw me how many times today Ya Naseer.
Oh common it's high time you stop calling me ya Naseer. Ya Naseer makes me feel old just find a suitable name call me with. Maybe like habibty, chukulata, sweet heart, darling and lots more.
I laughed so hard chukulata kuma I prefer to call you habibty
It's okay I like it since it's from you by the way I have something for you. He said opening his car. He came out with something in a small paper bag. You have to close your eyes first. I closed my eyes
He opened a nylon and told me to open my eyes just to see a brand iPhone X in it's box. This is for you. He said handing the phone to me.
So that was why you asked me the type of phone I recommend.
Yup this all yours.
But don't you think it's..... He glared at me because he knows exactly what I was about to say.
Alright love am going now but.... His ringtone interrupted him
He looked at me and rejected the call. I didn't bother to ask who it was.
Thank you so much habibty. I said closing my face with my palms.
He roared with laughter and said, she who is shy and...... He was interrupted by the ringtone of his phone again. He hissed and rejected the call. The phone rang again which I had to talk now.
Won't you pick the call. I asked
Nahh it's not important. Alright I have to go now. Bye Jadwa. Take care. He hopped in his car and drove off
****
After the day he came, when he was setting my phone for me, I took his phone because he told me to save my new number on his phone. A message popped up on his screen with contents that are confusing a number texted him " hey love. I didn't see you for the whole of today fah my Naseer and also I want us to talk about our wedding. See you! Bye " I felt my sight blurry
