Parents are key to happiness

The next morning is Monday Aleena wake up happily she is so much excited by her dream, perspiring with excitement she dives in to bathroom to take shower after opening the drawer carries her towels with her, Aleena washes her body cheerfully marming her best and favorite Hausa song, as she bath she sing clearly but softly.

Look at the sun and Moon they are always bright

My choice is you my queen

Weather the Sun and stop being bright

I will still choose you my queen

Our love will remain forever because we are perpetual Lovers

I love you baby

My queen baby

Our everlasting love

Yes she is beautiful....

Coming out of the toilet she is still singing Happily she first dry her body with her towel then trudge to where mirror is in her room sat on stool in front of her mirror, she look at her self in the mirror smiled before spraying her best perfume khalta Maryam, carried a dove lotion and start rubbing it gently on her silky soft body still singing and smiling at the same time, she rose up from the stool and move to her Wardrobe open it and start looking at what to wear all her dress are good, and suit her beutiful thin body but still today is special she thought wearing something special is necessary.

Her eyes fall on one Ankara it a red designed with golden color she carries it smiling in absent minded delight, but what the happiness on her face suddenly vanish due to sudden thought, because another person in her reminded her of something important she seems to forget, that dream in most of the time remain dream forever the idea make her angry and suddenly become physically and mentally deficient, she languidly finished dressing herself up, and keep telling herself to Stop living in an imagination, yes wake up you are still dreaming she shouted and beat her head.

After ligaturing her headtie carried her shoes pull it on her bare foot before going out of the house, from her room she went directly to her father's room, to her surprise he isn't their her plight grow, she hate it when she wake up without speaking to her Dad, for that she is very sure if to say she see him this morning and speak to him her pain would have reduced with her Abbas words.

She look at the watch on her wrist, her mom is not yet done with her prayers but she has to try her luck, she seriously want to know where her first love and best friend is. Unfortunately her Mum is still praying so she languidly turned to live but her Mom stop her by clearing her throat, which is a sign of stopping person by a person praying, so Aleena get in to the room, and sat at the edge of the bed, she is looking round the room as if it's new to her thinking of several unreasonable things.

Finishing the prayer umma rose from the prayer mat fold it and place it on top of wardrobe, and closer to her daughter, Aleena squats down a little saying "good morning mam", Mam smiled "morning dear how are you Mam?" asked. Aleena reply with "am finep", she replied smiling all in her attempt to look normal, mam look at her carefully and say "but your body says no, i am not fine, yes your physical appearance says something different from what you said, what happen?, I know you are not fine, i can see it, yes Aleena what is wrong with you?", Mam ask with care peering directly in to her daughter's eyes, she wanted to figure out what is wrong, she want to the reason of her being like this.

"Mam Allah is nothing i am very ok," she said faking a giggle, Mam snapped a little "Aleena as I said earlier you are not fine, you giggling won't make me take back my words, I am your mother just because i doesn't interfere in your way of life doesn't mean i didn't notice a single move from you, i never interfere in your life because i always see my daughter in a condition i want her to be". Mam said in a soft polite voice, she really want to calm her daughter down, for that she don't want the grief on her daughter's eyes she seing.

Aleena hold her mums hand "mam blief me it is nothing" she said escaping eye contact with her mum for that she knows that Mam may figure it out she is lying if she can see her eyes.

"Was it because of your project mam suddenly asked, and she snapped a little and added "or is project supervisor maltreating you suddenly asked

Mum sudden question almost shock her she's supprise praying in her mind secretly hoping that mum do not figure out that her problem is not only because of project but also because of man, Aleena quickly keep that thought aside and say "yes Mam this project is totally a trash and annoying at first it was fun but not when i start my analysis i spend a whole day at laboratory only to find errors in my result and my supervisor refuse to accept the result he is insisting of not approving my project if i do not correct the errors", Aleena said with sadness.

Mam Tapped her shoulder "did you ever ask him how to correct the errors" Aleena shakes her head signing no before saying " he never give me the chance to", Mam smiled "ok now and today if you did the analysis and still find the errors go to him gather all your courage never consider his personality over you, so just look at him and ask him you are his student, if he refused to tell you how to solve the errors you then tell me or your Dad we will see what to do".

Aleena smiled not because all her problem are gone but at least one of the major was solved, she now reconfirm it parents are always the way to happiness to their own kid, she springs up after watching the clock on wall, she don't want to be late she hate explaining or pleading to let her in just because she is late "mum i have to go I don't want to be late ok safe trip regards to Sakna" mam said.

She stop by the door before going out her mum made her almost forgot to do what she come for she turned her head look at her mom and say Mam "where is Abba? I went to his room but he isn't there". Mam smiled she was at first suprise by the fact that Aleena decided to live without asking where her father is.

"He flies to America earlier today", Mam said grinning, "what Aleena widen her eyes, Mam did you really say he is out of Nigeria without my knowledge?, we were together last night and he did not tell me, Alena complain with wet eyes, it wasn't his fault actually he doesn't know about the travel he received call from minister of Agriculture that it's urgent, I wanted to wake you up but he insisted of letting his baby sleep, he said he will call you when he is less busy to ask for forgiveness".

Aleena smiled "ok" and went out of the room, mum watched her out smiling today was her first day discussion something important with Aleena now she understands what her husband is saying, to know her daughter she really needs to show care.

Aleena find her older brother eating at the dinning area she walk towards him smiling, "good morning Yaya are you going out" she added without him answering the greating he look at her seeing her dress up made him frown his face for that he don't want her to ask him to drop her at school morning he answered before saying what do you mean by am i going out why will i eat at this hour if not for that am going for work?"

She smiled, she know why he is being like this but she most speak "Yaya i most ask no matter how you will react" she said laughing, "please will you drop me at school on your way to work", she asked politely steepling her hands together.

He made a wrinkles forehead "And what about your driver?" he asked even after knowing she won't respond to his question. As he thought she did not respond rather start serving food for herself , despite how she love yam she eat little of it, raised to standing position look at her brother and say "Yaya am done let's go".

He do not look at her no does he say anything rather continue pressing his phone while chewing, "ok then since you won't drop me, thank you" she said faking a phone call saying "Hello Baba Bala (Her driver) i am ready" .

Shakir snapped before saying "ok then i will drive you but you need to eat again", he said that because he watched her while she eat and he saw the little food she take, she do not hesitate rather trudge back pull the chair forward and sat on it and start eating. She eat little of it again and then "say let's go".

He rose up dropping a cup and walk out while Aleena went to her room to carry her veil round it over her head to form a hijab before going out, he already drove the car out of parking lot so Aleena moves forward, open the car and sat not in front of the car seat, Shakir look at her, for "only today i will drive you while you sitting their" he said his face not showing any chance of disrespect.

She smiled because she sit their on purpose for that he don't like her sitting there, he always complain that she should sit at the front chair he is not her driver but just helping her.

He turned again and say "Do you know why i let you sit, she shakes her head without uttering anything, ok it is because Abba loves me more". He knows she hate it if he said Abba Loves him more, "yes he loves me more, for example today he left the country without you knowing but i myself accompanied him to airport and he wakes me up himself" Shakir said laughing.

A sudden idea cross her mind, and smiled over the thought "that's because it's urgent he don't want to wake me up because he cherish me alot, but for you he wakes you up become he really don't care about you, he just turned you in to his driver" she said giggling "yes you are our driver" she said again, placing earphone on her ear, Shakir snapped with high sound turned to her angrily...
