He entered the bedroom and dialed Aziza’s phone number again, it rang for the second time before she picked the call up. “I am sorry, didn’t know how the phone fell from my hand.” He said to her and swallowed hard, and there was silence from the other end. “Aziza, are you there?” he asked her. “Yes, I am, I will hang up now.” She said and just like she said, she just hung up and he eave a sigh. How dare she? He had never been disrespected that way before and also, he can’t remember the last time he called someone crazy out of anger, he always try so hard to keep his temper in check and for the first time in twenty hours, he became scared of what the future holds for him, he want to stabilize his home, he wanted to try the best for both of them and he realised that it might not be so easy as he thought, Sadiqah was not that easy. He remember how they met; It was a busy day for him and a rush hour as well, he had hardly left the office when he received a call from Aziza and plead

“Adunni, you can talk to me… if you are not okay, we can go see a doctor.” He said to her and she shook her head and slowly she laid down on the bed and curled up her legs while she placed her two hands under her ear and closed her eyes, she felt him cover her up with a duvet, before he went to the rest room, she took a deep breath, adjusted herself and closed her eyes immediately he returned back to the room and that was when his phone rang and he went out of the room to receive it, he didn’t return back to the room until she was finally in her dreamland.She woke up early the next day and after her Fajr prayer, she went to the kitchen, for some minutes, it does not look like hers, it looked like the kitchen has been rearranged, her big spoons and some cutleries, position has been changed from their usual places, some plates were no longer where it was supposed to be. She sighed deeply and just stood in the middle of the kitchen for some minutes and looked around trying to scan with

She parked out the whole packs of clothes from her bag and went straight to dump them into the washing machine. As soon as the last cloth got there, she eave a sigh of relief. She smiled to herself and her some water into the matching, then add some detergent there before she switch on the machine.“hunnnnn....” The machine started working , she left the machine and walked back to her room, it is the third day of their quarrel and they try so hard to avoid each other, they had bumped thrice and had hissed loudly at each other and both had went their different ways. Musadiq avoided her totally and she could bet he slept in her room... Well it is he turn of the night anyways and she would start her turn the following day and she had already decided on what to do and how best to handle him, after all she had made her forgotten his home before . “I can do that again .” she said to herself. She know he would choose her over her all the time..She laid down flat on the bed, and begin to

She took a deep breathe before she finally open the door for him , she had rushed to lock the door as soon as she heard his car drove into the compound, she had been avoiding him for two weeks, she would not let him in to the house not even when it was her turn for the night, he didn’t want her to create a scenes , so he always go back to Sadiqah's place, and sometimes he wonder if the women staying in the same compound is a great decision after all. She seem to have blocked his number from calling him, he could not reach her and when he does use another number , she pick up and as soon as she heard his voice , she drop the call, she is twenty two weeks or was it twenty three weeks gone and she haven’t start her ante natal … they haven’t even discuss about the baby …and he was worried … Even though he always takes his son to school and bring him home but he will just not see her, every morning, the boy would come out of the house himself and no matter how much he knock at the door, s

As soon as the call got connected, he said his teslim.“Adunni, is it Vanilla you want or strawberry you want?” He asked her“Okay… is there anything you need?” he asked further. “Alright dear.” He said and disconnected the call and looked at her. “You said you want chocolate too, so you get two large bowls of ice cream and you can get what you want as well.” He said to her and gave her some money. .“Am I the one that supposed to get this?” She asked not collecting the money from her. “What are you talking about?” He asked, they were on their way home and he stopped by the eatery to get Aziza her bowl of ice cream, most times he usually buy the ice cream before he branched to Sadiqah’s store to pick her up but that day, he went to her store early and stayed until she was ready to close for the day and thus he had to get the bowl of ice cream on their way home. “Do I have to get it?” She said to him. “You wanted one too, don’t you?” he asked her and she nodded. “Then what is wro
