It has been some weeks now since when they last visited Ibrahim Muhsin's house .
Waleeda is in the parlor, sitting on her usual and favorite sofa of the house , her father and mother are sitting together on the other sofa , she could tell from the way they're laughing that they're enjoying whatever they're talking about .
"Yes and they were very nice to us as usual but your daughter didn't even eat a thing at least to show them respect " Abubakar said to his wife who's interestingly listening to his talks .
"But I showed them respect and ate " Abubakar added . Waleeda heard what her father just said .
She could only sigh and rolled her eyes which she was sure her father didn't see . "How can someone eat to show respect?! Just say that you ate and enjoyed their food " Waleeda thought inwardly.
The two continued to talk while Waleeda just acted as if she wasn't hearing their conversation but she's actually keeping one ear on what they're saying and the other ear from the sound coming out from the sole television in the house .
Abubakar saw his phone ringing so he excused himself like he usually does when he received a call . Even Waleeda doesn't know why her father never answer his phone call infront of people . This habit of Abubakar almost caused a fight between him and Munira .
Waleeda could still remember the day her mother claims that Abubakar is talking to another woman through his phone and that's why he never answers the call infront of his own wife .
Waleeda didn't blame her mother , she feel like her mother is just scared of loosing her husband to another woman .
If she was in her mother's shoe , she would have done the same because how can anyone afford to loose a nice looking man like Abubakar who never seem to age . But the misunderstanding got cleared up in a few days after Abubakar walked up to his wife and explained things to her but by not .
Munira wasn't completely convinced but she still told her husband that 'she understand and it's okay '
Abubakar came back some minutes later with a wide smile on his face signifying a good news . His good news is always a bad news to Waleeda so she still kept a frown on her face knowing that it's gong to be a bad news for her .
"Guess what ? " Abubakar asked , he didn't really specify meaning that he is taking to both of them so they both asked "what ? " at the same time .
"Black or white ? " He asked again as he grinned even more .
"White " Munira replied in curiosity
"It's probably black " Waleeda mumbled . Abubakar heard what his daughter just said but for the first time in history he ignored her remark.
He walked back and sat down where hw was sitting earlier before saying "kamil is back .... "
"So they asked if we can come tomorrow to introduce him to Waleeda " Abubakar said to his family who are listening interestingly .
" And what was your reply Baba ? " Waleeda asked hoping that he has declined their request but she should have known her father better.
" of course I said 'yes'. " he replied his daughter's question and chuckled at the end of his sentence.
"When are you people going back there ? " Munira asked curiously, she would have join them but she couldn't because someone has to stay to maintain and protect the house as they have no gateman .
Moreover, Munira can't stay in a car for more than twenty minutes without vomiting.
" I told them that we will come today but they said kamil just returned and he is resting for today but we can go tomorrow. " Abubakar replied his wife calmly like he always does .
Abubakar left the house some few minutes later to work . He works as a P.A for Muhsin's company,Muhsin helped his best friend and gave him a job three years ago when Abubakar was in need of one .
The day continued normally and ended with Waleeda drifting to sleep in the parlor, her mother woke her up and directed the half- awake , half - asleep Waleeda to her room before going back to her own room.
