6:30pm.

Datti coming down the stairs with his luggage, his impression was not that pleasant at all. His father voice keep ringing to his ears.


' If you truly ever loved your mom, then you must leave to US immediately my son. Because, you staying here will bring nothing to her but troubles and you know everything about her health. You yourself, you're a doctor. So you understand everything right? At least i can expect that of you'. The last word keep repeating 'of you'.


The family is shocked about the sudden decision of Datti traveling. But to  Alh.Gidadi is a different case. Despite he is very sad about his son leaving but he feels good at least his beloved wife could have some peace. He breath a sigh of relief.


         " I don't seem to understand why is brother leaving so suddenly, just like that?" Wud'i said, looking very sad. " Dad said is a business trip and it could happen anytime" Nana replied, explaining to Wud'i.


Boddo who's busy watching what's happening feel a little bit sad. Despite she doesn't know anything about Datti nor does she want to see him especially the looks he gave her earlier doesn't look good to her at all. But she's a little worried as he is her husband no matter what despite she don't know much about husband and wife but she saw her parents lives with each other and now her's is going away without any word or anything. That makes her feels a little bit disturbed.


" You are ready?" Alh.Gidado asked looking at Datti's eyes. " Yes Dad. But will love to see mother first before leaving" He response. " Is ok my son, you can go in and see her. She's still sleeping though". " I will be quick" he respond.


       " Assalamu Alaikum!". As she set her foot inside the sitting room. All turned to look. They all look shocked by her presence especially Alh.Gidado. " who is she?" Curious Yidi asked, looking at Alh. Gidado third wife Haj. Amina. " She's Maman Nana elder sister". She replied.


" Are we not welcome, mother?" Safina said, looking at how everyone is busy staring at them. " Don't say tha...". " Oh my god! Sister is that really you?" Maman Nana said, as she hurried to her sister giving her a hug.


     ' Why is she here? I thought she said she will never step her foot into this house and now. what's really going? Is she here to dis__'. " Nana!" Safina interrupts. " What were you busy thinking when i am here? Are you in love by any chance?" She asked, laughing. Nana hurried nodded her head, knowing how weird her cousin can be.


" Greetings to you Doctor". Haj. Maryam said, staring at him smilingly. He is not happy with her presence at all knowing what fully what might happen, if she happens to see Kamal around. The family sit exchanging greetings with Haj. Maryam. While Nana, Safina and the rest of the girls went inside there room to chat.


Datti is busy staring at his sick mother who is busy sleeping. ' am sorry mother, I have to go as much as i hate leaving you. I hope you will understand and won't get angry? Please mother'. He's too emotional at the moments. It took him more than 20mins to bide her and come out of the room where he meets Haj. Maryam and there father talking. He is not shocked to see her despite knowing how she has sworn never to step into the house knowing the type of person she is.


      " You're ready?". Alh. Gidado asked. Datti couldn't speak, rather he nodded his head. He is very emotional that anything can break him into tears and he does not want that. His father got up and went out with him. That's when Ahijjo calls out to the rest of the family to bide Datti farewell. Datti finally left the house everybody is sad Alh. Gidado and Ahijjo followed him to the Airport.

" Tanimu, I am not happy with your work at all". Dr. Haydar said, looking at Tanimu. ' look at this stupid doctor he thinks i am here to please him. As if he's pay__' " do you want money?". Dr. Haydar interrupts. Tanimu nod his head with a wide smile quickly nodding his head at the same time. " Ah, what are you saying to me doc who wouldn't want money? And everybody in this hospital know my love for money, i can do anything thing for money, doc". He stated, filled with confidence.


Haydar smirk. " Did you just use the word anything?". " Not just word doc. But even in action, I can act when it comes to money". He replied.


" Now that we're clear, what I want from you is something that needs to stay between us" Dr. Haydar said. " Haba! Do you think I am stupid or foolish? No i am not. I knew from the beginning you're up to no good doc, but i ju__" " how do you mean?" He interrupts.


" That day you tempered with that pa.

      Tanimu is very shocked and quickly step back staring at Dr. Haydar very shockingly. " Don't tell me that your love for money is just within your lips" Dr. Haydar said, with a smirk.


" No is not. I am in, and I will do exactly as you command". Tanimu replied, forcing a smile on his lips. " Well, I am glad your love for money is that high. But let me warn you about this again, nobody should ever find out about it. And also about that patients and what you saw___" " I maybe naive but I am not foolish to put myself into that life threatening situation. I love money more than myself so have no doubt nothing will ever go wrong, trust me". He interrupts him.


" You can go i will be expecting you tomorrow". Dr. Haydar said. Tanimu smile and thumb up to Dr. Haydar and left closing the door behind.


     Dr. Haydar sighed of relief as his work is going to be easier now that he has a helping hand. " Thank god! He's going to do all the work from now, I don't need to stress myse__". His phone started ringing. ' KB' the name showing on the screen.  He sighed closing both his eyes " And why is he calling me now?". He asked. He opened his eyes quickly as the call was about to cut and quickly received it.


" He__". He discontinued listening. "Yes, ok". He said after a few sec and end the call.


Same Day 9:34pm...


" Minal i don't seem to understand you nowadays. What's wrong with you sister?" He said, looking at her. " I know what i did is wrong but...I can't let that village thing have him". She said, with empathetic voice. " But you love Kamal don't you?" He asked again. She lower her gazed quickly. " I know your expectation brother. But I just can't love him more than Datti, which is why i choose to be with the one i love more". She stated looking very disturbed.


       " Look Minal, you're my one and only sister. I am not against you choosing the one you love, just that I feel a little bit worried about all this if Kamal happens to love you. Do you understand me?". He asked. She nods her head quickly. " Do you remember when our parents passed away in that horrible accident, when everyone left us. I still remember how we went on asking for our relatives for help one place to another but no one is there to give us shelter. But thank god our first day at the street we happen to meet him. I still remember it all you have a high fever on that day and haven't had anything to eat we're both hungry, when he came to pass by and he saw us and offer us help that time if i was asked it was the only money he had on him, but spent it all on us. Especially for your medicines". He discontinued and sighed.


Minal eyes are filled with tears, She's very emotional the reminder of there bad times even though at that time she is very young. She still has some of the painful memory that of there first meeting with Kamal, and how kind he was to them as he was also homeless at that time and young too. On that very day she pledged to marry only him and now her heart is betraying her.


" He took us to that abandoned building were we meet with our new parents Dad and Mom who help us took care of us and we all became family since that time. We face a lot of ups and down but we have never break no matter what" " yes brother, and big brother have to do a lot of work to earned for all of us and now look at where we are? I even get a chance to study abroad and we have a lot of money now it was all thanks to him but, can we ever be able to repay for his kindness?". She asked, looking at her brother very emotional who's also very emotional.


He nodded his head. " I don't know. But i do know he hates Datti a lot despite he is not saying but am sure they have some personal stuffs, and i feel like he wants to used you to revenge something". " Yes i know he has already told me". She interrupt. He is very shocked by her revelation. " You mean you know this all along and still you have the gut to fall in love with his enemy and even this!". He knuckle fist and hit the table.


         " You're not marrying Datti and that's final!". He angry stated. " What's going on here?!". Kamal intervene.
