Chapter 39

Little jamila leaps up and down in joy. She was so exhilarated as rahama gave her the doll baby which she promised her. They made a deal that when jamila comes first in class ,she would be awarded a doll baby which was now given to her.

" I love love you aunt didi.. You're the best didi in the whole wide world " Jamila hugged her. She couldn't hide how happy she was because of the present which she just got. Her mom had disposed all her doll babies because she was lacking concentration in school but all thanks to Rahama's promise, she tried all possible best to boost her grade.

" and you're the best Lil sis I could ever ask for. I love love you so much" rahama said imitating jamila's cute voice while pinching jamila's cheeks.

The two laughed along due to the way rahama's voice end up sounding . She wasn't even twenty percent close to how jamila sound. The young Dabo's voice was just too tiny .

" you couldn't voice it correctly, didi" jamila grin widely

Rahama scoffed, pretend to be angry " but I tried though! "

" just little tiny, try" jamila emphasis by pinching the tip of her smallest finger

The latter gasp" I don't believe you!. What do you mean by tiny? "Rahama pretended to be offended

" OK OK sorry auntie. You tried alot. This wide" she spread her hands wide showing her how she tried just to make rahama happy.

" yay!she finally admitted that I can imitate her, Yay!!!" rahama rejoiced as she picks her up.

A knock on the door interrupted

" who is there? "

"rahama Open up, it's me" Aunty yasira said from the other side.

" ok" she quickly put jamila down and went to open it.

Yasirah enter the room and show sigh of disapproval at how the room looks like

" you still haven't repair your room yet?! " exclaimed auntie yasira

Rahama shrugged " yeah I haven't. Its not like I would be receiving visitors in here today"

" you're to lazy for your own good" auntie yasira took a deep and sharp breath and turn to look at her daughter " and you? have you done your assignment? the one given to you by your mallam"

Jamila slumps her shoulder with a pout " no, I haven't "

" and why haven't you? " she asked sternly

Rahama shook her head disapprovingly and moved forward to interfere " auntie, she only came to collect her present. Don't work yourself too much, she will do it"

Yasira sigh " don't mind her. If you know what she did earlier you wouldn't support her"

" what did she do that made you all in the mom's mood today again, cos I know you don't get too offended by little things " asked rahama ,concerned.

Don't look surprised, rahama is now trying to get use to yasira for the past weeks. Which also came as a surprise for yasira but she never questioned it, she only went with the flow. So far to say, everything is starting to be in place but for outsider, the rudeness is still there . It goes nowhere.

" could you believe that this tiny girl destroyed the cake I made in the kitchen! Upon all the effort I put to make the cake look good, it still ended gotten destroyed by her" she pointed

The said little girl, hide behind rahama " why did you destroy it?" rahama questioned

" I wanted a taste of it,and I didn't know when I slipped off and the cake fell with me on the floor" explained jamila with teary eyes .

" you should have come to me first at least " scolded her mom.

" I'm sorry mummy" jamila apologize as tears pool down her face.

Rahama could only muffle a laugh as she watch the drama unfolded in front of her. Sometimes she get surprised at how this two always pull this kind of drama. It gets even worse when alhaji dabo is around, he never once allowed the opportunity for yasira to scold or beat jamila . She is the egg of his eyes that he wouldn't want anything to happen to her even an ant bite. While jamil is a mama's boy.

After a lot of struggles to muffle the laugh, rahama still let it out loudly. " you two are just hilarious. Ah_ah, there isn't any day I don't witness something like this. "

Yasira slightly chuckles " she doesn't listen to simple instructions, that's just it. I warned her about going close to the cake fa, but still, she didn't heed to my warning with her big eyes there like your dad's"

" haba ,leave the poor girl alone. Don't forget ,we both look alike " rahama defended as she brought jamila closer. She console her softly.

" whatever. "

" haba aunty, kiyi hakuri mana" rahama said.

With furrowed brows rahama asked" not withstanding, who is even coming over that made you and the house helps running heltner-skelter?. Don't tell me the governor is coming over again? " she asked with eyes wide, expecting yasira to say she was right

" sorry to burst your bubble, no. But still, the person coming is so dear to me " said yasira with a wicked smile.

Rahama looked at her sceptically ," don't tell me you're bringing your hidden lover over? "

Yasira let out a choking sound" say what?!..... God!..... No!.... How could you even think of something like that" she said, already disgusted with the idea

Rahama snickered " I was only joking. But it actually worth it though "

Yasira pick the pillow beside her and fling it at her " you .... She goat... How dear you try this kind of prank on me!. You almost gave me a attack, gosh " exclaimed yasira

" ow, ow, my nose. It already bleeding " cried out Rahama as she pretend to clean fake Blood . She turn to a now laughing jamila " instead of you to defend me you're even laughing at me and I defended you when you mom wanted spanking you fa"

Jamila quickly muffled her grin" oops ,sorry "

Rahama fake glared " better run before I catch you" .

Need not to be told twice, jamila ran out of room with her tiny legs screaming 'help, help'

The room was now left with the two adults

" Next time don't play that kind of games with me"

Rahama faked glared " can't you even take a joke? "

" oh, wow!..i don't take this kinds of jokes. I take my husband seriously! " Yasira said in a duh tone.

" well done Mrs husband and we that don't have husband should go and die ko"

" soon. Soon, my dear, you would become a Mrs somebody." teased yasirah

Rahama's face was now covered with blush

" I just pray it isn't Mansir " yasirah added, quietly

" did you say something? " rahama asked brows furrowed.

" nope, I didn't "

She shrugged and let it slide " so who did you even say was coming? "

" my nephew "

" Your nephew? Don't tell me you're talking about muhammad RINGIM!, the hidden RINGIM? " she exclaimed

" yes of course, which other nephew do I have if it isn't him " said yasira like its something Normal

" But why didn't you tell me earlier. I would have come down to help prepare! " she exclaimed again

As if you would

Rahama is so lazy that yasirah didn't even think of calling for her assistant and even when she is called, she loves to behave bossy which would slow down the work.

" you don't need to bother. I have got it all covered"

" ok" said rahama, with a shrug. " so what time is he coming over?"

" By five. He will be here around 5pm"

" OK then. I will come downstairs when he arrives. After all, I have always want to meet the mysterious RINGIM "

With a wide smile auntie yasira replied " he will also be glad to meet you, dear. Very glad"

" Man, you need to slow down on this hyper self of yours. Don't forget I will be the one going there not you and what makes me even more confused and surprised at the same time is that I'm the one having a clash with her but why are you even making it your problem? " asked a skeptical sadiq

The mischievous grin was still plastered all over Jafar's face " I love drama, that's just it. If it was possible for me to be there for the dinner, I wouldn't miss it for anything . I just want to see her reaction when she sees you!! "

Sadiq shook his head " you will never change. He buttoned up his shirt and move forward to pick up his wrist watch which was laying on the bed.

***

Mansir stroll down the stairs in his casual wear.Since he was having a free day today, he wore a simple T-shirt and a three cutter trouser with one hand pocketed in his trousers pocket and the other hand holding a phone.

After long search for kameela today, he decide to resume home to have a rest. He just doesn't know why he hasn't gotten a call from her and he has been trying her number but is way still no avail.

What disturbs him more is that he doesn't know why he was even disturbed by her absence. Yes, he knew he was only using her as a tool and nothing more .

Then why am I so bothered about her. She is nothing but a trash for me, period.

He let out a deep and sharp breath and then decide to stroll to the garden of their house.

Rahama

Her thoughts just came to mind. Maybe I should give her a call. He shrugged. Anyways she loves me and I know that nobody can take her away from me. Even that idiot sadiq, can never take her away.

He chuckles, after all ,he is just a mere mechanic in her eyes.

He knew that he needs to act fast before she finds out about sadiq. Mansir wants to be the one who rules her world,all he need is to have her in his palm. I want her to see no man but me, just me alone. He chuckles sardonically.

He dial in her number and waited for the call to ring.

" Habibi"

She answered on the first ring. Just the way I like it.

" yes world"

" world? when was my name changed to that" she asked and he was already picturing her rolling her doe like eyes. So bright like the sun.

" Don't you know that since when you agreed to be my fiance, you've become my world, my shining star" he smirk

The ways he said that brought her mind back to the event at the office yesterday. His voice sounded more like sadiq's

He had expected her reply soon but it didn't come

" hello? World? Are you there?"

She finally end her thoughts and was brought back to the world of the living . She hit her forehead for being too careless. How can I be day dreaming about sadiq when I'm on the phone with mansir?

" ermm, I'm so sorry, the twins wouldn't stop making noise so I had to drive them away. So, what where you saying? " she tried sounding normal but nevertheless Mansir still believed her.

You are so stupid and doom, rahama, her subconsciousness apprehended

" oh, OK. I was only reminding you about when you became my world. So tell me what you're up to right now "

From the other side of the phone her face brightened up at this question. How can she almost forgot to tell him about their mysterious visitors " guess what? "

" what? " he asked, confused

" guess who is coming over? "

" ermm ok, you know I don't like guesses. Just tell me who it is" he said a brow raised .

" OK then. Its your brother, SURPRISE!!! "

WHAT?!!!

" wait...wait... What do you mean by my brother ? Which of the brother? "please ya Allah don't tell me sadiq had told her already
