All her attention was on the television, that she didn't know when her mom approached her, until she was tap on her shoulder. She jolted from the touch and averted her attention from the television.

"Amma" she said faintly, as if it was difficult for her to speak. "Welcome back Amma. When did you arrive? because i did not hear the sound of the car nor you coming inside the parlour" She asked while her Amma smiled.

"When you're busy watching film, how would you hear the sound of the car? nor that of the door i opened?" Her mother said.

She smiled with her and said. "How was the wedding, and everyone over there?" She asked her Amma

"It was fun and fine. Since you don't like to mingle with others. They send there greetings to you".

"Amma you know its not like that. Is just that i don't feel like going out today that all". she try defending herself

"Okay whatever you say. Let me go and freshen up and rest because am tired" she said and amble out of the parlour.

"Alright. Rest well Amma".

She continue watching her film. She stand up when it was time for congregation prayer. She went inside her room to perform ablution and pray. She didn't stand up from the praying mat until she was done even with her Isha prayer before standing up from her praying mat.

After taking her bath she walks to her dressing mirror to apply some lotions and perfume on her body. She stand up on her feet and take some few steps to her wardrobe where her cloths were neatly arranged base on colours, gowns,trouser,skirt and so on.

Coming down from the stairs to the main parlour, she saw her siblings and parent on the dinning table waiting for her to come down before they will start eating there dinner. She greeted her Dad giving him a peck on the cheek which he received with a smile.

"Daughter" He called "How are you?".

"I'm fine daddy".

"Have been expecting to see you since but heard you're in your room". her dad stated

"Yes daddy.I was taking my bath" she move towards her mom and did the same before she exchange greetings with her siblings and the maids started serving each of them. After serving them all, the maids stand at the door step in case any of them need anything. They ate silently. The only sound was that of the cutlery's.

Immediately they finished eating they say thank you to their parents and left to the main parlour. They have some little chit chat before each one of them depart to their various rooms.

The sound of the prayer wakes her up from her sleep. Because it was time for her to pray, where she tells Allah all her problems and to make thing easier for her with his guidance, and protection. After praying she take her bath and went out of her room to the dinning area for breakfast, before she went to her Dad chamber to great him and have some discussion with him.

Upon arriving she saw both of her parent. She greeted them and sat on the floor together with her parent. Her Dad notice that she have something to say so he asked her.

"My Mother. What wrong?. He enquire "feel free to tell me what's bothering you okay!" He assured her.

She lower her head, before she speaks up "Dad. Is just that i want to inform you that i will be traveling to Paris tomorrow". She said almost like a whisper to her dad only.

Before her Dad could talk her mom already beat him to that.

"Zaheera. You're going no where. Are you not tired of traveling?. Haba yours is too much. I think it's high time you settle down again. Because you're not a child anymore" her Amma said angryly.

She lower her head "Amma. Am sorry but i have to go. I want to attain my Phd certificate there. I promise to settle down when I come back. But let me go for now". She pleaded almost teary. That when her Dad intervene

"You can go. But you promise if you come back you're going to settle down". He declared making her to promise.

" Yes Daddy". she said enthusiastically.

"Then, that's okay.  I wish you all the best" her dad said nonchalantly.

She left her Dad chamber and entered their own side with smile on her face.

She was packing her clothes when Amma entered the room. She looked at her and continue packing her cloths. Amma sat down on the bed quietly.

"Zaheera" She called faintly.

"Yes Amma". she responded still packing her clothes "Is not that am stopping you from going. It's just that i want you to settle down. I know what you're going through. But with Allah everything is possible. I just want you to be prayerful" she said; worriedly.

That was when she drop the cloth she was folding inside her trolley and face her mother fully.

"Amma, I know you're just worried about me, But even if I want to settle down, I don't have anyone you know that Right?." She said to her Amma "But I promise you after my Phd i will try and settle down, just to make you happy okay". She said. Assuring her mom everything is gonna be fine.

"Thank you my daughter. May Allah continue to protect you for me. Let me go and check what the maids are preparing in the kitchen" with that she left her full of pity.

She continue packing her things until she was done that when she enter the toilet to pack her toiletries that she's traveling with.

They were all sitting in the parlour gisting and talking about how their day went. She was just listening to them and smiling when one of them said something funny.

Abida her junior sister said "Adda Zaheera, Is it true you're traveling tomorrow?". asked Abida.

"Yes. What the problem?". She asked. Furrowing her eyebrow.

"Nothing really, Just that am going to miss you. But if you're coming back you will buy me alot of thing right?". She asked again.

She laugh before she speak again "I know you're asking because of the things I will buy for you, not because you will miss me right" she asked feigning to be hurt.

"Why Adda Zaheera, Why will u say that? You know I love you that why, and I will miss you a lot". Abida defended

"Okay as you said. No problem. I will buy a lot of things for you my lovely sis, If that what you want my baby sis okay". She reply.
