  woke up with a start, Khadijah had said she and Yusuf were stopping by today quickly grabbing my phone to check the time 11 am it reads I groaned I was expecting them by 1 pm and I have done nothing but caress my eyes with sleep. I reluctantly  stood up from bed to go clean up while ordering fast food on my phone,  the trodded to the bathroom throwing my phone on the bed carelessly  I didnt hear acrashing sound and I smiled I was getting better at throwing things, call me weird or whatever but I get excited by most things people find uninteresting.

  Lunch with Khadijah and her husband went very well. We were currently at the balcony facing my neighbors beautiful garden. We talked about school days, work and all. Yusuf said he was going for business trip to Dubai and Khadijah admitted she was tagging along while blushing I laughed at their cuteness "awwn" I awed, " She can't do a day without me" he said smirking while playfully touching his chest, Khadija laughed " oh please I could go a whole year without you" she said her face pulling up into a half smile I usually called the Devils smile, just for clarity most people call it a smirk .  Khadija and I attended the same university in the USA, I still remember it like yesterday when she approached me asking about a hall or something she had thought I was an old student probably due to the confidence I exude I explained that I was just a new student like her and she made an "oh" with her mouth I laughed taking a liking to her cute face and vibe.Our friendship bore wings that day.

  I smiled while waving at them and shouted at them to bring their own food next time since Yusuf had outrightly said his wife's food tasted better than my food. I argued my case  even though I only ordered the food, I had to argue in my defence, I cant cook but  defending good food is what I do .something my mother always makes drama of I remember the first time she visited my house at Lagos she almost wept when I told her I ordered food and soups.

  I groan on my bed when I remember tomorrow is Monday, work work work is all Monday screams. I sighed while texting Umar back he was trying his very best I had to admit, but I wastired of going in circles with him playing his useless annoying games after catching him in his cheat games . 9 pm and my eyelids started to gain weight again I made a mental note to call ma tomorrow. Sleep took over me.

  MONDAY

  Currently, at work, I work in my pa's company alongside my brother the CEO who speaking of which barges into my office all business-like '' Mah-mah said she told you to call her and you haven't she said it's urgent and you should call her right away" he says in a mouthful, I roll my eyes behind my desk "hi to you to Sadiq, hi to you" I say rudely, it is his time to roll his eyes and glare " its good morning Zarah, to early to be rude " he says angry I couldn't help but stick my tongue he was rude to me first, he bags my office door shut and I couldn't help but laugh at his childishness. Sadiq says I'm his worst sibling when in fact we have a yin yang relationship I smile at that. And of course he was the childish one between us something most people would never admit.Quickly taking my phone out to call Mah before she sends the whole office to me I cringe internally when I realize that she could do that.

  The phone rang three times typical mama she probably left her phone upstairs or somewhere far away from her which made me wonder why she had a phone in the first place. I called again the second time she picked after the first ring" Zarah!" she yells and I had to put the phone away from my ear a bit rolling my eyes I allow her to finish," so if I dont call you you wont call me abbhi?" she asks her voice far from subtle. I sighed and pinched the bridge of my nose. " Mama its not like that nah I have been busy" I say trying my best to pacify her, she doesnt even let me finish before she soeaks " ah!" she says her voice sounding as though she wanted to cry and I sighed here we go with the drama.' what you people are doing is not fair oh ehn, is it?" she asks sobbing which of course I knew was fake.Avoinding the trap she set there ," no mummy sorry" I say an apology that seems to calm her a bit. " ehen did your father call you" she asks in a happy voice as though she was not the one sobbing just minutes ago," no, why?" I ask curious " well he wants you to come to Abuja tomorrow" she says in a serious tone.

  Currently at the airport on my way to Abuja Mah had sounded urgent on the phone, said I had to fly back ASAP . I was able to pack a few things while my assistant booked my flight before I arrived at the airport, I was scared Lagos traffic would affect my flight I, however, made it just in time.
