Ben and Samiat moved back to Kano after spending a month with Esther, Samiat had pleaded with Ben for her to stay behind with Esther but she refused claiming Roshan would not consent to it. 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

"Mom, you have to do something about this. How else does he want me to convinced him that I know this man enough to make the decision of being with him?" Ben whined as she spoke to her mom, she was tired of what her dad was pulling with her. She's had enough of him.and would go on without his permission."Ben, you have to understand, it's not easy for us to let go of you that way, he's different from us. Why are you still hell bent on getting married to him?" Her mother asked in her usual soft voice."Mom?" She was surprised "I thought we've talked about this." Ben was disappointed.

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

"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

Samiat was still at Annie's place when Ben got back to Kano, she called to inform them about her arrival and told Samiat to come back the next day since it was dark.After having a bath, she laid tiredly on the couch and a smile appeared on her face as she thought of everything that happened when she was coming back to Kano —from how her mother made sure she had her things complete to when her younger sister took countless pictures of the three of them. 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?" She asked."Roshan." He answered and she jumped up, she just spoke with him minutes ago when she got back and he did
