Sufyan instructed as he scrolled through his tablet.
The lady nodded. "I understand sir, we won't disappoint."
He looked up at her with a smile. "Thank you Marie, I appreciate you."
She blushed and hurried out. Lillian poked her head into his office.
"Nuha is here sir, should I send her in?"
He nodded with a look of surprise, it'd been long since he had seen her, she had been out of the country for her master's program.
She walked into the office with a frown, and a flowery scent enveloped the air.
"You'll think with how long I've been coming here Lillian would actually allow me to be able to surprise you but no! She

Sabeerah was in a good mood, at least she was until Alhaji Faruk call came through. She contemplated not answering but that wasn't even an option."Assalamualaikum." She greeted in a stiff voice."Sabeerah..." He began slowly, "my princess, how're you?""I'm not your princess Alhaji, can we please be professional?" She snapped before she could stop herself, she regretted her words immediately."Meyasa haka kike ne- why do you do this?" He asked in a calmer voice. "Do you not respect me anymore?"She bit back the instinctive response she had for him. "That's not so sir, not at all. How's the family?""Alhamdulilah, alhamdulilah. I'm heading to the site in Kubwa now, meet me there."

"What do you think of Alhaji Faruk?" Her father asked flippantly going through the documents on his desk.Sabeerah choked on her spit. "Sir?"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?'would you like

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.

"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.

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

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."

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.

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."

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
