CHAPTER 34

Raheem's car horn at the front of Ashar's house, because of the traffic on their way it took them more than two hours to get there. Raheem's horn again for the second time and waiting for the gateman to come out, Ashar just put his hand on the car's door and just looking didn't say a word.

Raheem horn again and the gateman ran to the gate, raised his hand up telling them sorry and quickly opening the gate. Raheem drove inside the compound, packed at a corner as the security guard told him because the garage had full with cars.

"Get down now Ashar and let go!" Raheem said with low voice as he was looking at him putting his hand on the car's door.

Ashar opened the door widely, straight the native cloth that he was putting on and getting down from the car, two of closed the door from their side and going inside.

Ashar's father was on an office call with his customers outside Nigeria, their two mothers were together charting and when Iqmat and his father were talking and also charting.

Sound of the door opened and closed, Ashar and Raheem and all of them paid attention to him.

"Good afternoon Ma and Sir!" Two of them greeted with respect that their hands almost wanted to be touching the ground and two of them were standing at their fronts.

"I have thought that you are not coming! Look at the time that you are just coming since morning that I have called you Ashar!" His father said with low voice as he hanged up from his business call.

"It's immediately you hanged up that I started dressing and after some minutes we have been on our way Sir!" Ashar said with low voice.

"We are so sorry Sir! It's some minutes after that we left the house but the traffic jams was too much, sorry Sir!" Raheem said with low voice.

"It's your house that he is! Thought that he gone with that so girl called Somia!" Ashar's mother said.

"Well! I need an explanation on what happened at the birthday party? I want a clear explanation on it-----"

"What happened or why he rejected his wife to be and went to the party with that girl. Why did you rejected Iqmat!" Ashar's mother cut her husband short and said.

"I didn't rejected anybody! Why is it difficult to get this right. I am not the one that invited Somia to that party, it's Shukuran so why is it difficult to get it right!" Ashar shouted.

"So that is why you are are shouting on us!" His father said.

"I am sorry Dad! But call Shukuran out and ask her!" He said with low voice after the apology.

"Agreed that it's Shukuran that invited her! But you went there because that girl was going because I remembered how I forced you to go but you instead so why suddenly change of mind, it's because that girl is going!" Shukuran came down from upstairs.

"Sorry Sir and ma! As brother said I am the one that invited Somia to that party birthday even I forced her because she didn't want to go and brother was in the room with us that day, and him too said that he will go but I don't know why and he didn't say anything!" Shukuran said.

"It's because that girl was going! If it's not why didn't you call your wife that I am going, I have change my mind. Why didn't you?" Iqmat's father asked.

"It escaped my mind!" Ashar said with low voice.

"Just warn him to respect and honor me as his wife to be, threading all over the social medias everytime and it because of that girl. Well don't worry it's few months that remains for our wedding you have time to do anything you like" Iqmat said the word on intentionally and all them looked at her.

"What are you saying that after the wedding he will have time to be doing his rubbish, that is the time you should respect yourself Ashar and don't let all this be affecting your home!" Iqmat's mother said with low voice.

"Even it's that wedding that I am waiting for and let me be hearing any stupid complain like this! This time you may behaving that you are still single because no ring on your hand yet but after wedding I don't want to be hearing all these rubbish!" Ashar's father said with loud voice and with anger.

"It won't repeate itself again, sorry Sir!" Ashar said and Raheem too joined him to apologise.

"Maybe we should just draw the wedding backward and let it be next month instead of upper next month!" Ashar's mother said.

"Let it be the way it is!" Ashar said loudly.

"Let do it because I hate all this or we should just sack that girl Somia, she should go elsewhere to work!"

"You can't sack her, why will you sack her? She doesn't do anything wrong now, you can't sack her at all!" Ashar said.

"Look at his eye it had changed because of what I just said! And agreed or not tomorrow morning the secretary will prepare her sack later so we can have peace of mind!"

"You can't do that mon! Count Somia out of all these! That girl is the breadwinner of her family and need a job to take care of them, you can't sack never or I will employ her and be paying her with my own money not company money again!"

"You can never do that! How dare you what to do that!" Ashar's mother fly up and said with anger.

"Calm down my wife! If you sack Somia, who will be helping with the staircase now!" Ashar's father said.

"I will be helping you! I will support you!" Said loudly.

"Since all these years when did you support me to climb the staircases, even something you will just pass beside me and going upstairs. This Somia will assist me, said some encouraging words and jokes! You can't sack her!"

"You can't sack her because who will be helping with my assignment now!" Shukuran too said.

"Ah! Eh!! That girl have bewitched all my family with her witch power!" Ashar's mother shouted.

"Calm down! I don't support sacking her as well, it's like you collect food from someone's mouth. It's our children we have to talk to behave themselves, I don't want to hear all this again at all. Ashar anything that will cause all these don't do it again and let everything end here!" Iqmat's father said.

"I heard you Sir! Thank you very much Sir" he greeted him.

"You just have to respect me and honor me as your wife!" Iqmat said with low voice and pressing her phone.

"To you too Iqmat! When are you going to sell all your investments in California and invest here in Nigeria or start working at my company, you are not doing anything!"

"I have told you father that after my wedding I will know what to do it!" She said with low voice.

"After the wedding that is when you will know what to do on it, how many months is the wedding now. That you can't sell everything you want to sell, start a new plan here or do you think you are going back there that is why you left all those things there!" Her mother said.

"Let me do my thing the way I want it! I said after the wedding"

"After wedding! After wedding!!! That is what you always say what is your plan after this wedding because I don't get!"

"Mom! Please stop, I want to use the toilet am coming!" She got up from the chair with her phone in her hand.

"I know what to do, I will call my agent there and order him to sell everything and send the money into your account"

"Father don't do that don't touch my things!" She said with low voice and going to the visitor's toilet upstairs.

"After wedding! You leave all that there and tax is charging on them!" Iqmat's father said. Ashar and Raheem left the living room going to the small lobby at the backyard.

Sound of the toilet door opened and closed very well and Iqmat entered. She picked the call as her phone started ringing, it was because she wanted to make a call that was why excused herself from the living room.

"Stop calling for now still after the wedding, no call for now please!" She said with low voice.

"When it's the wedding it's in few months now! Almost two months now, let leave it like that because I need to take my time and don't want any trouble" she kept silent for few seconds, it was this same unknown person.

"I understand very well! I will surely execute the plan after wedding, just don't call me for now. Thank you!" She kept silent again and listened.

"Nothing is going to happen, I know what I am saying. Please accept this and stop all this now! I will surely call you after the wedding don't worry! Bye!" She hanged up and looked at everywhere in the toilet, she opened the door and came out and going back downstairs.
