Sa'eed calls a friend of his who happens to be the crime officer of Wuse II among others. "Hello Bello?"   "Sa'eed ah ahn. Long time. Ya amaryar mu? {how's our bride?}."   "shatap! Amaryata bah amaryar ku bah. {my bride not your bride} anyways we have a situation behind Wuse market. You're still the crime officer right?"    "yes. What's the situation?"    "Brutal face mutality,murder a takaice {in short}."    "Subhanallah! Send me the location. Who is it?"    "a driver of mine. But i don't even want to file a complaint. I just need some muslms to come take him and perform the funeral rites. I'm going to the hospital with my wife yanzu haka {right now}."    "ah ahn. Tohhh! Should we expect good news."    "we'll talk later we're getting late." and Sa'eed cut the call. He doesn't want to tal

Sa'eed enters the car elated. He looks at Halima and finds out she's just sitting there, not even noticing his giddiness. He starts humming to her favorite song, Havana by Camila Cabello while bobbing his head as he starts the car but still, no response. He turns to look at her and sees she has a faraway look in her eyes, she isn't huffing, growling or groaning due to anger as he thought she would be. Neither was she crying hysterically or at least looking sad or broken. She just sits there, looking calm, collected with a faraway look in her eyes. That doesn't make any sense.  He waves his hand in front her face, still, no reply. He snaps his fingers in front of her face, no reply. What's left? He kisses her long and hard, still, no reaction, no reply, nothing. Is she really angry with him that much or has something happened to her? He engulfs her in a hug begging her to talk to him but she doesn't even flinch. She

It's the day. The day for the downfall of Halima Audu Kalshingi. The day has arrived and Aleesha can't be any happier. Nothing can ever go wrong, or so she thinks. Of course nothing would go wrong. It's the one and only Humylash that planned it out and called the Paul man to take it out. Of course it'd work. Aleesha wakes up feeling giddy, ecstatic, happy and propitious. Nothing would be able to ruin her mood even if it tried. She walks over to her suitcases, jumping lightly like a child who has been promised all the sweet things in the world, and takes out an army green French lace with black beads sewn into patterned flowers on it, a black turban and black Aldo flats. It isn't Friday, it's Thursday, yet she is getting all dolled up. Why? Well, that's because she will be going to be her Romeo's.  It has been done and now all she's waiting for is the good news and then she'd head out like a heroine, pretending to come for a visit. If on

Aleesha quickly picks her phone as she parks a little bit away from Sa'eed's home. She types something before deleting it. She types something again and deletes it. After lot more thoughts, she finally types a short five sentenced message and sends it. After taking a deep breath, she looks at Sa'eed's house and mutters "to be mine very soon." before driving to another secluded part of Kuje which unfortunately for her, doesn't have tarred road.  After grunting and huffing she finally reaches a three story building painted in milk and ash from the exterior. She parks her car and alights, intentionally leaving her suitcases in her car. She knocks thrice before remembering she can't be heard from inside as most of the doors are sound proof. The reason behind it is that her parents are always fighting.  She presses the door bell thrice before walking back to her car. She calls Bella, her younger sister.  "keh H

"you must be very stupid. Inept fool. My friend tashi ki bar min gida {stand up and leave my house}. How dare you show your stupid face in my house despite what you did?!" Alhaji AbdulMajid thunders as he throws out her clothes she had arranged in the wardrobe.  Alhaji AbdulMajid and Hajiya Aisha came back three weeks earlier only for the gate to be opened by Aleesha. That angered Alhaji AbdulMajid who locked Hannah up while she was asleep. The doors are soundproof so she wouldn't hear a thing, furthermore, Hannah is a deep sleeper.  "haba Daddy. Can't a daughter visit her parents that disowned her?" Aleesha asks smiling evilly.  "over my dead body. You're not my daughter and will never be. I never birthed a rapist. Better go and look for your parents elsewhere. Oya leave my house." Alhaji AbdulMajid yells pointing at the black with specks of gold electric gate.  "Alhaji! She's yo
