The weather is so friendly today,yesterday was so cloudy and sky poured down like cat and dog.

oh!! I wish i could sleep through out the day but i won't enjoy my resting hour without speaking my truth to my daughter Umerah.

How can I have a stubborn child that only listen and make her own decision. The worst part is that she would pretend like she gets the point you are trying to make,just find out that you only wasted your saliva.

God!! that girl gives me headache.

I thought by now all my daughters will be given out in marriage but my daughter Merah has turned has to it to mission to see me fail.

Mrs Haneefa will be clocking fifty before the year runs out,a mother of four and also a grandmother of two. She is light in complexion and a lover of zee world movies although she didn't marry early but she vowed that all are girls must Marry before clocking twenty two years of age. I don't what Umerah's problem are because she refused to date any guy all she does is make videos,dress and surf through the internet.

Mrs Haneefa stood up from her master bedroom and walk towards Merah's room to give her the piece of mind. Mtcheew ,sometimes this mansion feels so big like I am walking in a field .

The building has ten rooms,three big sitting rooms and each is attached with a rest room. an extra two blocks of three bedroom apartment is located in the same compound with another two bedroom which serves has quarters for the maids . varieties of flowers and trees are planted in the same compound to aid ventilation into the premises.

Knock knock she banged the door so loud that even the person occupying the next room room would wake up,when she heard no response, she entered and tapped her daughter.

Umerah wake up!

Mum please.....

Why do you sleep like a log of wood

Sit up ,I have something to tell you

Can’t it wait? I am tired.

Come on get up, when all you do through out the day is make videos and surf the internet.

Life is beyond pressing phone and making calls all the time.

Are you still sleeping?

Hmmmm

Wakeup! Wakeup! Wakeup silly head; I have something important to tell you.

Mum!!!Oh…..

What is it again?

What have I done this time? Can’t I have a good sleep in this house again?

Today this, tomorrow that, all you do these days is complain, nag, and shout about every little thing I do.

Keep quiet! I will do the talking and you will do the listening. How many times have i warned you not to use such tone of voice for me. Listen very good to what I want to say, before you get me angered.

this is piece of my mind to you .'it’s high time you take your life serious ,at your age no boyfriend or husband that's not a good report at all. you need to make yourself accessible and available and also work on your attitude and stop turning men down and forming world champion feminist.

Hmm!!

Sometimes you baffle me with your delivery of speech mum ! Merah sighed. So I should accept all the men that come my way?

Mrs.Haneefah; I don’t want any word from that mouth of yours:Listen and listen good,you have now till next year to look for a good man to marry or else I will do it for you.

I have Friends who have children of marriageable age and talking to them will be easier than doing it for a stranger.

I hope my message is clear Salam.

Peace

.

Merah was flabbergasted and shocked at mom attitude.

She sat gently on the floor of her bathroom and screamed on top her of voice, facing the mirror opposite her. Here we go again.

My mum is very difficult and persuasive. she takes pleasure in spoiling my mood and persuading to get married like my older sisters, but she never ask me for what I want . all she cares about is getting all her daughters married.

Whenever she brings this marriage matter up my day will be spoilt automatically. It seems like my mission in life is to get married and bring forth children.

Merah sighed again......

My immediate blood sister was so frustrated during her twenty first birthday because mum keep make a particular statement "the best gift a woman can have on her birthday is a husband" she said this almost everyday until she got married. She tried the method with me but she noticed whatsoever tactics she used for my older ones weren't walking for me that's why she derived a new style to frustrate me.

Merah sat gently and brush her teeth ‘I won’t let my mum throw me into depression and self pity because of her own selfish interest and public honor. I will do the right thing and achieve my dreams like I have always wanted.

I will get married when I'm ready,I won't be pushed into any form of union that will lead to headaches and quarrels.

For God sake I'm not a child, I see my cousins and aunt divorce everyday and return back to square one.

This world is not for the faint hearted.

She took a deep breathe.
