He looked up at her. "You didn't understand the question?"
Her nod was stiff, "yes sir."
"Would you like to get to know him better?" He asked slowly as if she was dumb, maybe she was because she gave him a confused look in return.
"Sir?" Sabeerah asked again and her father glared at her.
"Is there something wrong with you today or you're being intentionally stupid?"
The insult slapped but it wasn't her fault that she couldn't understand where this was coming from. Was this a trick question? What was the deeper meaning behind it? What could her answer cost?

Two days later and Sufyan hadn't stopped thinking about the conversation he'd had with Sabeerah's mother. It was a very weird discussion they'd had and it plagued his mind.She'd assumed he was engaged, why she had he didn't know but he had set her right and she asked him if he liked Sabeerah.Sufyan had been shocked, it took awhile before he could answer. "She's hard to not like."His answer had pleased her so much and then, "I'd like for the both of you to get to know each other better and see if you're compatible, it'll make me happy to see you married to my daughter, although I must warn you that she has rejected everyone before you."He had gone mute and had stared back shocked at the transparency. He hadn't been able to get a word out when she'd walked over to them. Sufyan didn't know how to feel, he was confused still and it didn't seem like he's understand the situation anytime soon.

Sabeerah had given Tuya the task of buying baby gifts for Zakiyya's newborn, she had once left the task to Sarah and the idiot had wasted her money but it was her fault though, why ever did she trust Sarah to do it, she didn't know. Tuya had bought sweaters, caps, socks, diapers, baby food, baby shoes and so much beautiful things that left Sabeerah shocked.If she took all of these to Zakiyya, she might think she actually liked her or something, or maybe she'll think she didn't like her but wanted to show off. Only one of the theories were correct, she didn't like Zakiyya but she didn't hate the woman either.The gifts were loaded up in the boot by the driver, she sat in the front next to him while her sister and mother sat behind talking about the baby.Zakiyya lived in Life Camp with her lawyer husband, Umar. This was their second child since six years of being married, Sabeerah couldn't eve

"We should get married." Sabeerah said.Sufyan stared at her like she'd gone crazy and perhaps she had because that was the only explanation to this whole absurdity.He had been working on a project graphics when with a small knock, Lillian had entered the office."There's a Munirah Ahmad outside for you, she doesn't have an appointment but she claims it's urgent."Sufyan racked his head to try remember if he'd ever met a Munirah Ahmad but he came up with nothing, he was too busy for unscheduled meetings but nonetheless his curiosity got in the way."Let her in." He said. A minute later, Sabeerah walked into the office with an air of superiority, she glanced at it with critique eyes then nodded approvingly."Hello." She said to him.

Sabeerah woke up knowing marrying Sufyan was a good decision. She'd performed Istighar for five nights consecutively and had a dream only last night, it was the first time her Istighar had ever resulted in a dream, it was an exciting feeling.In the dream, she'd been by herself at the hill staring down at the city as usual when someone had spoken to her, she turned behind her and laughed."I regret showing you this place, now I can't even be alone in my place of solitude." She'd said to the person. He walked up and sat next to her, it was Sufyan."I don't even know how you found this place but something tells me I should throw a work picnic here."She glared at him. "I'll cut off your limbs if you dare and I'm not even joking." She pointed a finger at him."Worth it if I get to be called

It was midday when Sabeerah made her way back to her father's office. Fatima gave her a wary look as soon as she saw her, she stood up."Assalamualaikum ma'am." She greeted but stiffly, her body language was off and Sabeerah knew something was off."Is Baba in?" She asked."He's in with an important client ma'am, please come back later." Fatima pleaded with her eyes for Sabeerah to listen to her. She was a middle-aged woman who'd worked with her father for as long as Sabeerah could remember, she was almost like family but Sabeerah knew she was also aware of her father's dallying habit but yet, she guarded the secret as thou hers."Of course he is Fatima." She said and began to make her way to the main office, Fatima jumped in front of her."I could lose my job Sabeerah, you already know

Sufyan's Istighar hadn't ended in a dream, it wasn't the first time he was doing Istighar on this matter but those times were between Halima and Sabeerah, his dreams always showed him and a lady but which one was it was what had always left him confused.This time again that he was left with just one option, he did not get to dream and he had no idea what to do next.He hadn't spoken to her since the day at his office, he still frequently stalked her on social media, he knew she'd been to a fashion show two of her friends three days back and that there was a ground breaking ceremony that held in Idu yesterday. Why he didn't just call her and tried to get her know better, Sufyan had no idea.Before he got her number, he was obsessively thinking of what he'd say to her on the phone if he did call but now, he was hesitant. She was a fun person no doubt, witty and sassy but it was as

"I hear you are finally getting married." Baba Doza said giving her a knowing smile.Sabeerah groaned as she snuggled under his arms, covering her face."I'm not getting married Baba."It was the night before Fatima's wedding reception and dinner, the Walima was done earlier. The rest of the young girls in the family had decided Fatima's last night before she's whisked off to her new family would be celebrated.Although the bachelorette party was thrown few days back, the girls just wanted an opportunity to party amongst themselves again.

Sabeerah was back from Bauchi and Sufyan was eager to see her again, they'd spoken every single day on the phone and it was harder with every passing minute to keep her away from his mind. She was the most fascinating woman he'd ever met, it made him want to get to know her even more."Should I come see you?" He asked on one of their phone calls that was late at night because they'd both been too busy during the day."Do you want to?" She asked."Of course, I need me the things you bought."She scoffed. "Of course you do, just saw you want to see me because you miss me, don't be averted.""Maybe I just want to see you, it doesn't necessarily mean I miss you." Her argued."Tell yourself that..."He interrupted. "Sev

It was the second day of her wedding programme, the wedding Walima.The men from her family and his were at the mosque with an Imam to get her an Sufyan married in the eyes of Allah. Sabeerah was very nervous, she was seated in her bedroom dressed up in a blue laced dress, her face had been adorned with make up, her hands shone brightly, yesterday had been the Salle where all the ladies had gathered for Henna to be designed on their hands and feet by professional Henna designers.Sabeerah's Henna was a mix of black and red that suited her skin color perfectly, leaving her looking all the part of a stunning bride. Everyone around her showered her praises and the older woman paused to throw in an unsolicited advice or two, it didn't e

"That was nice." Sabeerah said.He raised a brow. "Just nice?"She nodded. "Just nice." She affirmed."You can't even admit to truly enjoying yourself, it must suck to be you." Sufyan said with a sympathetic expression.She was shocked, "you are so... I don't even know. What?""What is it again?" He looked at her confusedly."You're not alright." She said."But it's the truth, I'm sure you've not had so much fun in years like you did today, you were so carefree and you walked in water not minding that your trouser something would get wet." He pointed out.She glared at him. "It's not trouser something, it's CROCHET!""When I said you shouldn'

"Oh be fast and come out already." Sabeerah heard Umama scream from her room. She was in her closet trying out one of the numerous clothes the tailor had just brought in.Her wedding was in one month time and somehow it seemed they were behind preparations, everything was moving as fast as possible so they could meet up for the wedding.Sabeerah stared at the mirror before her as she ran her hand through the one of traditional wears she was going to be wearing on the day of her Kamu. The Ankara was sewn into a blouse and a fitted skirt that flowed down and covered her feet, it was beautiful.She finally went out of the room into her main bedroom where her mother, the tailor, her friends and two of her aunts were seated."It's beautiful." They cooed admiringly as they all surrounded her, from the side of her eyes, she saw the tailor hur

"Firstly, this can only be black magic." Matt said as he walked into her office on Monday morning.She eyed him. "A very good morning to you too young man.""How are you getting married and you didn't tell me?" He asked her, Sabeerah saw Sarah's eyes widen from the corner of the room."I told you now." She said shrugging."By texting me, Matt I'm somehow going to get married to someone called Sufyan Khalid, find out all you can about his relationship with another someone called Ahlam. Really Sabeerah?" He asked.She nodded. "Yes, what's wrong?'He gave her a look of annoyance before settling himself on the couch. "You're something else.""So I've been told.""God! When did this happen? We're together almost all the time and I had no idea, I don't even know what to think." Matt said."Don't be dramatic Matt, you don'

Sabeerah was dreading this meeting, she sat down in her car and just stared at Umama's house. She'd called a meeting between Sabeerah and Hannah to resolve their issues, Sabeerah didn't have the heart to say no to Umama's request so here she was, in front of her house.She'd been sitting in the car for almost ten minutes now, a text came into her phone from Umama;Come inside now or I'll come drag you in!!She sighed unlocked her car and got down from it grudgingly. It was a Sunday and she was plainly dressed in a crochet flapped trousers and a big grey T-shirt her go to comfort wears."Why are you dressed in your sleep clothes?" Umama asked eyeing her outfit."This is a very fashionable attire Umama, you'd know that if you were fashionable yourself." Sabeerah said giving her a hug.

Her father led them both back into the main house, Aakhil walked noticeably slower making him and Sufyan stay a little back."So you want to marry my sister?" Aakhil asked. Sufyan glanced at him questioningly."Yes I want to." Was his reply."And surprisingly enough, she wants to marry you too... Interesting."Sufyan didn't say anything as they kept up their pace."Do you know the last time Sabeerah had ever actually wanted to marry someone? Six years ago and after that didn't work out, she'd never looked at any man with interest. What's the secret this time Sufyan Khalid?"Aakhil paused his stride to ask the question.Sufyan stopped too and stared at him squarely. "I don't want to know any history if it's not coming from Sabeerah herself Aakhil, thank you very much."He continued walking leaving Aakhil behind. He entered the sitting room, thi
