It was on Monday morning. Somia had dressed for work as usual, she packed all the makeups back inside the makeup box and left the dressing mirror side. She walked to the wardrobe, opened it and took a belt, she used it on top of the cloth that she was putting on and left the place.

She spread the bed sheet well and smooth it, she carried her bag and wanted to be leaving when she heard a text message entered on her phone. She used the handbag to cross her arm, she unlocked her phone and checking the message.

'Good morning Somia!

"Thank God! I am just about to leave home and also it will reduce my transport fees" She said with low voice and going out. She turned to her left hand side as she came out from her room and going to her mother's room to greet her before leaving.

Sound of the door opened, standing at the entrance and met her mother praying. She was standing and waiting for her to done.

"You are leaving my daughter!" Her mother said as she finished praying and sitting on the praying mat.

"Good morning Ma! That is why I am here to greet you before leaving"

"Okay! Go safety my daughter" "Wait Somia" She called her back as Somia just turned back and wanted to be leaving.

"Yes Mom! Hope no problem?" She asked with low voice.

"Not all my daughter. It's about Nibia and Ibrahim, this Wednesday is their visiting day so I want to ask of how it will goes? We really have to go and visit them" Since it was private university, they have some rules and protocols that they followed and for parents as well.

"Oh! About that, I and Semirat have planned it already, we are going to take a day off from work so we are going. I will tell Ashar today and I believed he will give me; Semirat doesn't has problem, her assistant will cover up for her" She said with low voice.

"Alright! That is very good then!" Their mother said with low voice.

"Okay! Bye Mom and take care of yourself" She said with smiles and leaving the room, sound of the door closed and her mother got up and went to the bathroom.

Somia opened the entrance door, closed it back and got down to the compound. She walked out from the gate and the tax that she ordered had arrived, Somia opened the door and entered into the car.

"Good morning Ma. And I have been about to start the trip" The driver said with respect and started driving out from the estate.

She closed the door and going inside, the security guard greeted Somia as he opened the gate and Somia entered with smiles on her face and replying to the greetings.

She faced front and going inside when she saw Ashar's mother outside and talking to one of their maids, Somia changed her looks and walking slowly. She always uses to be afraid of Ashar's mother and didn't uses to cross her part.

"Good morning Ma!" She said with low voice as she wanted to pass beside her.

"Morning!" She said with low voice, Somia passed beside her and going inside. Ashar's mother looked at her and she followed Somia in.

Sound of the door opened and Somia entered, as she entered saw Ashar's father coming from the dining room and holding a mug full of coffee.

"Father! Good morning Sir" Somia said with smiles and knelt down a bit for him, door opened and Ashar's mother too entered and going upstairs.

"I am good Sir!" She was looking at Somia as she was climbing the staircase and observing something with the way Somia did to two of them, she ignored them and going upstairs.

"Today is Monday morning, it's company you suppose to resume to. Why did Ashar ordered you to come home?" He said with low voice and not like he was angry or something just said so.

"It's like he is not fleeing too well Sir. Also no much at office, because of the trillion naira contract that we are expecting" Somia replied.

"It Okay! Even it's good that you are here, I will have someone to chart and argue with" He said with smile and Somia giggles.

"Enjoy yourself Okay!" He turned back and going upstairs.

"Yes Sir!" Somia removed the handbag from her right hand, put it down on the floor and sat down on the chair. She brought out the laptop, opened it and waiting for it to load when she saw Ashar coming down.

"Good morning Sir!" She stood up and greeted with smiles.

"How are you doing? It's father that told me that you are here and just arrived"

"I am good Sir! Yes it's just right now" She said with low voice and sat down back.

"Sorry for sending you an emergency message, I wanted to go to work today but as I woke up this morning I don't think I can and it's Raheem that caused it; forced me to go to a party and with all the stress we went through that yesterday. Even lost our way" Somia giggles.

"Sorry for that Sir. How are you doing now Sir?" Asked with low voice.

"I am good now. Let me allow you to work" he said with smile and wanted to be going to the kitchen.

"Excuse me Sir! Please wait" He just took a step when Somia called him back.

"Alright! Anything you want to say?" Starring at Somia.

"Please Sir! I want you to give me Wednesday as off day, I and Semirat want to go to my sibling's school. It's their visiting day Sir" Looking at him and waiting for his responses.

"Anything you want is done, you can go okay!"

"Thank you very much Sir!" Somia was so happy, Ashar looked at her and he smiled.

"Tomorrow! I will send you to them on my behalf" He said loudly as he was going into the kitchen. Somia repositioned the way she was sitting and started working on the laptop.

Some hours later. Somia had closed the laptop after finished replying to some emails and took the food that a maid brought for her on the table, she sat down on the chair very well and eating and also watching a movie.

Ashar's father came down to the living room from the library at a corner in the living room, passed at the front of Somia and sat down beside her.

"Why don't you called me that it's our movie time" he said with smiles as he sat down.

"Sorry for that Daddy! Just closed the laptop right now" Somia said with low voice and two them started watching movies and laughing very loudly that Ashar was hearing them in the second living room that he was.

"That man is a good man, look at him" Ashar's father said.

"He is a bad man, look at his face not friendly at all" Somia too threw a comment.

"Don't judge like that now!" Two of them were busy with the movie and showing different emotions.

"The man is actually a good man oh!" Somia said and felt sad.

"I told you now!" He was talking when Ashar's mother got down from the staircases and walked closer to them.

Somia got up as she saw her and carried the laptop.

"I will be in the second living room Sir!" She said with low voice and wanted to be leaving.

"Why are you always trying to avoid me!" Somia firstly stopped walking as Ashar's mother said the statement. She started walking back and did like maybe she was not the one that she was talking to.

"It's you that I am talking to, Somia!" Somia rolled her eyeballs and faced back.

"Why are you always trying to avoid me, is there anything you are scaring off"

"Eh! Ma" Somia said with low voice and looking at her.

"My love! What is all these for now?" Ashar's father said with loud voice, Ashar walked out and standing at the entrance of the second living room.

"I mean no harm! But Somia, you uses to talk to my husband, chart with him and free with him. Same thing to Shukuran too and she too likes you so why are you always use to avoid me? And running away from my present" Somia was just looking at her and didn't say a word.

"Don't see it like I am wicked or harsh, no but I am just observing you to know the kind of girl that you are. And for some months now that you have been with my son as his P. A I see that you are a decent girl and not like all those girls. If it's one of them it's a way to enter into the family that they will be looking for. If they are unable to enter through the son, they don't care to be from the father but I see that you are totally different and passed all my tests"

"Thank you ma!" Somia said with low voice.

"So be free with me as well, I see you as my daughter and this wedding we suppose to be planning it together and with Shukuran" Somia was so surprised and just looking at her and didn't believe it.

"Come and sit, so that you can continue with your movie"

"I can't believe this, so you like Somia" Ashar's father said and she just giggles and looking at Somia.

"Come and sit now, I am not harsh just want to be careful and fight for my son's wife to be but now the wedding is in a month so nothing to be scaring of again" Somia smile and going back.

"Wow! Mummy likes Somia" Ashar said with smile and going back to his seat and to continue working on his laptop. He sat down on the chair and smiling as he was working.

"Why are you looking like this, oh you are just getting better! I am back now Okay!" She said with smiles but saw that him didn't.

"Let me get a chill water, I am coming" She said and going to the kitchen with the heels that she put on.

She opened the fridge, saw different soups that Basit's mother cooked. She took the water, closed the fridge and going back to the living room.

"I saw different soups inside the fridge, did you invited your ex-wife over here?" She said with anger and Basit's father looked at her.

"I am asking you?" She said with loud voice.

"Since Friday evening that I have called you that I am sick, you are just coming on Monday afternoon and all what you can said or asked is did I invited my ex-wife over here. Are you for real?" He said with loud voice and with anger showed all over him.

"Good afternoon Sir!" The P. A said and just passed beside him as she saw the angry looks on his face and rolling the travelling bag to upstairs.

"So your work is more important than my life. The studio, that it's you that own it and you can leave anytime that you like and you are saying now that you are busy. Even if it's just five minutes, bring the medicine, check on me and go back but you didn't. No even a phone call and all this is because you are busy right?" His girlfriend breathe in.

"It's because you are not there that is why you don't know how busy I am. Are you not the one now that is talking now and even have the strength to be shouting. That mean you are good and the sickness not much"

"Really! So did you know how I managed and able to be fine now!" Looking at her and burning inside him.

"You don't eat them! I am not a vegetarian like you, just forcing myself to be and it has stopped right now!" He said with loud voice and going upstairs.

"Is he for real!" She said with low voice and giggles.

Some minutes after the argument. His girlfriend opened a door, entered the guest's room upstairs and saw Basit's father laying on the bed there. She stopped at the entrance and looking at him.
