Aisha opened the door to their apartment and was surprised to see Ade in with Halimah.
What can this man be looking this man be looking for again?" Aisha asked herself, she forced out a smile and went into the bedroom. She could hear Halimah's laughter from the living room, she wondered what they were talking about. How can a man and a woman can be suddenly so intimate within a short while. She had noticed some changes in Halimah. She is always chatting with him and sometimes rush home to talk with him.
Halimah is a very shy person not outspoken but when she likes you, you become her friend for life.
Aisha sighed as she heard Ade calling out on her. She stood up,use her khimar and went into the living room.
"Good night and safe journey back home. Wishing you a lovely vacation. " he said and left.
" I cant wait to be back in Kano. I had missed home so much." Halimah said and removed her khimar while Aisha did the same and sat down on the mat.
"Alihamdulilah, now a final year student." Aisha said
"Ins sha Allah. I prepared a pot of jollof rice." Halimah said to her friend who looked at her with question in her eyes.
"What is it? " Halimah asked.
"Why is that guy here? I thought you said we don't welcome male visitors into the house. " Aisha said raising an eyebrow.
"He only come to bade us a good bye." Halimah said and went into the bathroom to perform salah.

Halimah placed the bowl of snacks in front of her father and his friends and left as fast as she could. She find it difficult to stare into anyone's face.
"Alhaji, who is that?" Alhaji Ahmed asked Halimah's father who smiled.
"That is Halimah, my daughter. I can't believe you can't recognise her." Alhaji Jamil who is Halimah 's father said.
"Ma sha Allah, she has really grown." Alhaji Ahmed said
"Alihamdulilah, is she not in her final year? " Alhaji Ahmed asked with interest.
"Why this sudden interest Alhaji. Don't tell me you want to marry her?" Alhaji Ibrahim asked
"Which of your wife will you divorce?" Alhaji Ali asked, for Alhaji has four wives already and he will need to divorce one of his wife to get married to another according to Shariah.
"Come on, I am an old man. I like your daughter, I will like you to consider her marrying my Son Abubakar." Alhaji Ahmed said. Abubakar is his only son of sixteen children and the the third child. He had been in the United States since he was sixteen and he is still there for he has a company to his name over there.
"Ma sha Allah, Alhaji, Abubakar is a very nice and religious boy. I will like him for my daughter, but you will need to give me some time to discuss it with her. She is going back to school next weekend." Halimah's father said and Alhaji Ahmed told him not to tell for now that he should discuss the the issue with Abubakar first.
"Yes, that is good. She has her school projects on her mind now." Alhaji Jamil said, it has always been his wish to get her married to a religious and responsible man and he has known Abubakar since he was a child. He believed he is the best for her.
