Chapter 48

  THE DISAGREEMENT

  "Khadijah", Mr. Usman called to his wife with a smile, as she stood up from the bed.

  He had let her be the day before. By the time he entered the bedroom to sleep, his wife was already asleep.

  "Ina son ki (I love you)", He told her after seeing the frown on her face. He knew that was the way to her heart. Confessing his love for her.

  It wasn't a big deal to him. Because he truly loved her. Even after 23 years of their marriage.

  "Ni ma (Me too)", she replied back and finally smiled.

  "You've been acting all strange since yesterday. What is bothering you, my love?" He questioned.

  "Nothing", she muttered, sitting back on the bed and looking sideways.

  "Nothing? Are you sure?" He asked pulling her next to him.

  "Yes."

  "Tell me what it is dear. Is it about Ayoo?" He asked stressing on the "yoo."

  "I don't really know", she answered with a confused tone.
