Chapter 4 You destroyed yourself

When Sa'ada and Maryam arrived the office Usman wasn't there they have to wait for some minute.

When he come back he seems not in a good mood he just smile saying what brings you here.

A'a don't tell me you forget about us getting married, you promised me back then that we are getting married this month.

I do not forget but Sa'ada didn't you see what happens I need more time to prepare and think of what to tell my mum if not because of this divorce nothing will change everything will be as planned.

Mttt Sa'ada hissed, what prepation she asked, my problem with you Usman you are so clumsy.

What sa'ada are you calling me clumsy he mentioned in anger please leave my office before I did something that we will all regret he said showing her the way to door.

They left the office while sa'ada was in tears and Maryam is comforting to not worry her self.

After they left he sit back to his chair and said stupid girl kawai.

*******

Usman who seems like reading news papers while sitting in his office but he's mind is somewhere else, his phone which is plugged on charge was keeps ringing.

His secretary entered sir your phone was ringing she has to speak louder for him to come back to his sense.

Pls bring the phone he said 7 miss call he just hissed he knows it was sa'ada before he could check to see who called another call come he just pick saying "Haba malama kin damen"

Usman what wrong with you are you shouting at me his mum who is on phone reply.

Sorry mama I do not check I just pick the call.

Whatever am in front of your hause to drop Ummi and Amira but the gate man said Abu wasn't their for almost 2 weeks where is she her kids want to see her she asked.

Eh to daman she went to Katsina for ceremony he mentioned.

Usman which kind of ceremony is that any why may she return safely Amin Mama.

Mama smells something else more especially when she remembered what Amira told her in the day drive bring them the girl said Hajiya Babba do you know something she says no wallahi ummanmu and Abbanmu are fighting since yesterday.

Ummi interfere saying wallahi she's lying since ummi was the elder she has to pay no attention to what Amira said.

Amira most be telling the truth she said to her self.

Malan manu we are headed to my in-laws house Hajiya babba said to her driver he just say ok before he starts driving.

It was unfortunate for Hajiya to hear about the Divorce she sincerely loves Abu although her in-laws put the blame on their daughter she knows that her son was one to blame.

She stayed in her in-laws home for almost 2 hours all she does was comforting Abu.

The kid were very happy to see their mum before Hajiya babba leave she gave Abu some cash and told her not to worry about the kids they will be visiting her regularly that's the only thing that make Abu feel some relief.

*****

When Hajiya go back home she called Usman telling him to come and meet her after work.

He quickly finished everything and went directly to his mum.

She was sitting in a praying mat in her palour he has to wait for her to finish some azkar.

His kids were very happy seeing him more especially Amira he played with them while waiting for Hajiya.

After she finished he asked Baraka to take them with her and pay more attention to his mom.

Usman why do you divorce your wife Hajiya asked.

He have no words to reply he just put his head down.

Hajiya continue to say I don't know what get into you but am sure you will regret it, it's not like am Abu was too good for you.

For the first time when you introduce her to me I thought it was because she is bright and beautiful but I later understood that it was because she is kind and simple.

She is your world and you loose your world just becouse of some love passion you have for another women.

You know how you live as a product of broken home and you let your kids to experience that she said looking at him in anger.

Hajiya it was a mistake he said without looking at her.

Well whatever it's I already decided that you are not marrying that girl Sa'ada and I mean my words.

Amma Hajiya.... Kai keep quiet you have no words to convince me please leave before I said something bad about you which will destroy your future.
