They were back to Kano and were unpacking the few stuffs they got from Ekiti when they heard a knock at the door, Ben didn't tell anyone that they were back. She wondered who was knocking at the door.
"Come in." She said and the door clicked open, Annie and Toba walked side by side and she could see that Annie glowed differently. Been so long she saw her. "Annie." She rushed towards them and pushed Annie into a big hug. "How have you been?" She asked her.
"Very well, you look good." Annie smiled revealing her killer dimples, she got prettier and maybe a little chubbier, Toba was really took care of her and it was evident from how she looked.
"No, I don't. But you do." Ben hugged her again, she missed her so much. "How's everything and hope this young man isn't givi

She was curious and can't seem to take it anymore, it getting too long than she had expected, what was going on? He finally halted the car in the middle of somewhere unknown. "Where are we?" She questioned. "Calm down." He giggled getting down from the car and, she tagged along with him. "He can't sell me right?" She whispered inwardly and they walked through the silent forest. When did Roshan get this adventurous? She wondered as she walked with him. "Wow!" She gasped at the sight she beheld. A beautiful one she had seen never in her life. A garden, a small garden with lots of flowers, and a fountain wetting the flowers. How did he plan all of that? She was sure someone was behind it, maybe Aisha! " I love you." she said excitedly and pulled him into a tight hugged. " I love

Roshan stared at Ben for the umpteenth time, with how her legs were crossed on each other and how bored her expression was, he knew something was wrong with her."Are you sure, you're fine?" He asked in a soft tone."Yes, sure." She quickly composed herself, she was about drifting away when his voice brought her back. "Why are they delaying in serving the food?" She looked over to the counter and saw other customers being attended to. "They are so slow here and I do not commend them at all." She hissed."They're trying." Roshan chuckled, there something about the look she made whenever she was upset that made him smile."It's over twenty minutes and they still haven't brought a meal of fried rice and chicken. Are they even competent? I have better places we could go to, I still don't know why you prefer this places of all restaurants.""Calm down, they will serve us soon."

Ben was fast asleep when her phone began to ring out loudly, she groaned and stood up forcefully to pick up the call."Hello." She said tiredly without looking at the caller on the screen."Hello my daughter." She heard her mom's voice and widened her eyes.Her mother could sense that she just woke her up from sleep from how her voice sounded. "How're you this morning?" She asked her."I'm fine ma." Ben answered with respect laced in her voice this time."Are you still sleeping?" She was surprised, other days Ben would have gone to work and when she tried to speak to her in the morning, she will complain that she was busy and would call her later but she was still sleeping that morning."Yes, mommy." She replied her mother. "Your call woke me up actually.""Are you not going to work?" She asked Ben and that moment, she knew she had messed things up. Her mother would ask her why she wasn't going to work and different other questi

Ben arrived at Lagos very late at night —that was one of the many reasons she hated travelling to Lagos, the unending traffic on the Lagos road was tiring and increased with every blink of an eye. She called Ademide to come help her with the bag of cloths she brought for her, her sister flung up and ran outside the house. She screeched when she saw her sister standing by the gate and looking so tired, she pulled her into a tight hug and released her almost immediately. "Sis!" She yelled happily. "Welcome." She took the bags from her and helped her inside. "You're just a violent girl, see how you pulled me." Ben shook her head and laughed. "I'm sorry sis, how was your journey and did you bring all this for me?" She asked excitedly. "Was stressful, I'm so weak and yes the cloths are for you." She replied her. "I bought them since and decided to bring it all this time." "Wow, wow." Ademide screamed and thanked her sister. "Mom and dad tra

"I have thought about it over and over again and I see no reason, you're hellbent on getting married to this man." Ben's father said clearing his throat roughly, she said nothing and still had her head bent to the ground. "Your mother and I visited the priest and he asked of you, we couldn't even tell him that you've brought home a man." He shook his head and looked at Ben. "Of all the men in the world, you choose to bring home a Muslim. I'm still speechless, no family of mine has ever gone against the culture of getting married to a..." He snorted. "Daddy." Ben called softly. "I'm still speaking to you young lady." He shunned her. Ben looked at her mother and she told her to listen to her father. "I'm a well respected Catechist in the church and the people have high expectations from me, they've been asking when my daughter will get married in the church, how will I tell them that she doesn't want want to marry someone from the church? Worse enough, how do I say it

"How do you feel now?" Esther asked Ben over the phone, she broke the news about her father's approval to marry Roshan to her."I'm supposed to be happy right?" She let out a sigh, it felt like she's just been relieved of a heavy burden."Maybe, you got what you've always wanted. So, any need being sad again?""I don't know but the feeling is just void, I don't even know what I'm feeling dear. I feel like he's just letting me do this because I insisted on it, I feel it's not coming from his heart genuinely." Ben sighed again."What matters most is that, he has given you the approval. Now, it's your turn to act on it. What do you have in mind and have you told him about it?"No, I haven't told him about it. I called to let you know first. I'm happy but not very happy." Ben said."Maybe it's because you've been on this for a long time now, you're not very excited about it anymore.""It could be, I'm glad though. I will call Roshan and w

Even her father contributed when they talked about female things, she was glad everyone was happy with her decision and they were willing to support her.She was still lost in thoughts when she heard a knock at the door, it was late and she didn't remember inviting anyone over, she told Samiat to stay back and she had no friend who would visit her that late in the night."Who's there?"
