Cike da wannan charisma din yake takawa har ya qarasa waren da motarshi ke jiransa, budeshi mishi suka yi ya shiga kai tsaye ya bada umarni su wuce Maitama.

Bai san yayi kewar Ummi na wuce misali ba sai da yaga sun iso gidan. Wani irin urge na son ganin Ummi na taso mishi amman sam idan ka kalleshi baza kace hakan ba.

Bayan fitowarshi kai tsaye ya nufi main building din dake cikin mansion din. Wani irin hadadden gida daya amsa sunansa, kamar baka a qasar. 

Da sallama ya shiga part din Ummi dake nan a gyare komai tsaf sai kamshin turaren wuta ne yake tashi, irin kamshin nan mai tsayawa arai. Da kallo yabi parlourn da kallonsa kawai zaka san dukiya tayi kuka, it was screaming luxury ta ko'ina.

Fuskarta babu yabo babu fallasa tana operating waya ta daura kafa daya akan daya. Yadda tayi kai tsaye kana kallonta kasan she's a no nonsense woman. 

Sallama Fu'ad yayi mata da wannan husky voice din nashi. Hakan yasa ta dago da sauri jin muryarsa. Akansa ta sauke idanunta, sai dai kamar ko yaushe kamannin da yakeyi da Ammi bai bari ta kureshi da kallo ba, because idan tana kallonsa tana jin mugun tsanar Ammi yana qaruwar mata arai ne.

Kunneshi ya kama yana marairaice fuska kaman wani yaron goye yace "Ummina I'm really very sorry. Ki yafemin, ban son fushinki dani please Ummiiiiiiii."

Kamar ta basar dashi sai dai ba zata iya ba. Bata hada Fu'ad da komai ba duk da bashi kadai ne danta ba akwai dan uwansa AZZAM.

Dagowa tayi ta kalleshi tana son harararsa amman ba tayi ba "daka zauna acan ai Fu'ad."

"No way Ummi, I missed you." Y qarashe yana kamo hannun Ummi da yaji jan lalle don Ummi irin 'yan gayun nan ne masu son kwalliya sosai.

"In as much as kasan yanda nayi kewarka Hayaty da you wouldn't have said that..."

"Ohhhh come on Ummi it's a bygone. Ya wuce let's face the reality...." Zaiyi magana kenan aka kirashi daga baya "Hamma F." Da sauri ya juya yana kallon matashin da yake haurowa, a shekaru bazai haura 26yrs ba.

"Long time Hamma F. Ka guje mu." Wani murmushi Fu'ad yayi masa mai mugun sanyi wanda ya fito da zallar madarar kyan da Allah ya bashi. 

Azzam ya dauke kansa yana kallon Ummi dake kallonsa. Wani irin deep kallo da yake dauke da ma'anoni.

"Ummi lemme go and shower. Kince you cook my favourite right."

Kai Ummi ta gyada masa tana cewa "yes yes Hayaty. I'm waiting for you." Miqewa yayi yana kallon Azzam yace "see you later Azzam."

FU'AD'S POV 

Sanye yake cikin baqin trouser da rigarsa na kamfanin Calvin Klein. Ba wai kwalliya yayi ba amman yayi kyau as komai kyau yakewa Fu'ad. Duk abinda Fu'ad zai saka sai ya yi masa kyau, hatta kayan bacci kuwa. Yana da wani irin kyau ne mai sanyi marar hayaniya. Banda kamshin Pur oud na Louise Vuitton babu abinda ke tashi adakin. Sanye yake da baqin loafers na kamfanin Hermes daya mugun haska qafarsa dake nan kaman bai taba taka kasa ba.

Kai tsaye part din Ummi ya nufa hannunsa dauke da wayarsa. Calmly haka yake taka kasar sai dai cike da kuzari da wannan giant jikinsan da kana gani kasan yana gyming.

A dinning table ya tarar da Ummi tana shirya komai duk da ashirye suke sai dai tana son komai ya kasance yadda Fu'ad yake so.

Wurinta ya nufa yana cewa "Ummina." Kallonsa tayi tana murmushi sosai "yes Hayaty."

Zama yayi a kujerar dake facing din Ummi yana ajje wayarsa akan dinning table din. Fura mai sanyi ta fara miqa masa a cup don tasan shine babban abinda yafi so duk abin sha. Ya amsa yana cewa ya gode. Serving dinshi sauran dishes din tayi duk da tasan ko yana so bawai da yawa zai zage yaci ba. Chinese rice ne da salad sai pepper chicken da yaji veggies sai dayan plate din ta saka masa abincin gargajiya da tasan shi kadai yake so wato alkubus da miyar taushe.

Furar ya shanye tas kamin ya tattaba sauran yaci kadan bada yawa ba. Ummi dai kallonsa take cike da so da kauna. Irin wannan kaunar mara algus.

Yana ajiye spoon dinsa ya jawo tissue yana goge lips dinshi suka yi ido hudu da Ummi dake kallonsa admiringly irin like wannan dana ne proudly dinnan. Murmushinsa mai taushi ya mata yana cewa "Ummi."

Mayar masa da murmushin Ummi tayi tana cewa "yes son har ka koshi. Rashin son abincinka gaba yake dada yi Hayaty."

Shagwabe mata fuska yayi yana cewa "Ummi na ci fa. Ko so kike cikina ya fashe ne?" Da sauri ta girgiza masa kai tana cewa "a'a" 

Da kansa ya taya Ummi sukayi arranging wurin duk da cewa akwai maids din da sukeyi kamin suka koma parlour suka zauna.

"Ummi ina Abie? Rabon da muyi waya dashi tun day before yesterday wayarsa bai shiga."

"Ya tafi Lagos wai za suyi wani taro maybe ma sai next week zai dawo."

"Allah ya dawo dashi lafiya." Ta amsa da Aameen. Duk wannan abinda yake Fa'iz yana ranshi. Ba wani hira suka yi sosai ba Ummi tace yaje ya huta tasan ba wani hutun arziqi yake ba don he's a workaholic. Da murmushi ya miqe yana fita daga part din gaba daya.

Wayarsa ne yayi ringing hakan yasa ya dakata a tsakiyar katuwar harabar gidan yayi picking call din ganin Abbansa daya gama zancensa ynzun ne yake Kira.

Daga can saman balcony din part dinsu Azzam ne a tsaye yana kallon Fu'ad. Wani irin kallo da kai tsaye zamu iya kiransa dana zallar kiyayya. He despise Fu'ad so much. He hate him with passion. Fifita son Fu'ad da Ummi take shine abinda ya fara sakawa yaji ya tsani Fu'ad sosai. And da yazo Fu'ad ya fishi nasibi sosai a komai.

Fu'ad irin mutanen nan dake nan suna da sa'a a komai. Fu'ad yafi shi farin jinin mutane kowa son Fu'ad yake both maza da mata. Ga yazo yana gama uni ya samu offer din aiki a Bechtel. Now that he owns NoveBuild yana jin kamar shi bai zo duniyar da sa'a ba.

Irin like duka dream life dinsa ita Fu'ad yake kanyi. Duk irin abubuwan daya tsara na rayuwa su Fu'ad yake kan samu. Yana son ya zama mai kudi na sosai, Fu'ad ya zama. Yana son ya zama famous a duniya, Fu'ad is now famous. Yana son kowa ya soshi, amman kowa Fu'ad yake so. Fu'ad ya fishi kyau nesa ba kusa ba, abubuwan da Fu'ad ya fishi idan zaiyi counting ba zasu kirgu ba sam. Is like Azzam sak halinshi irin na Ummi ne. Halinsu daya na son suga sune a saman kowa.

"I promise sai na rabaka da komai Fu'ad, duk wannan abinda kake ji dashi. Zaka dawo zero behind decimal point. Sai na rabaka da duk abinda Ka mallaka. Hatta kyan da kake taqama dashi na rantse sai na rabaka dashi......" 

(Is like Azzam yana manta cewa Fu'ad yayansa ne uwa daya uba daya, this guy here ya gado Ummi har kaman ya fita fa.... oh ni dai yayi min gsky I'm in his team🤐)
