WHAT IS THE MATTER 4???!!!🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄by Ebuka
Cont'd.
Ibrahim wasn't himself anymore. He could not remember his house again.., or probably he didn't want to go back to that place for now.
Dropping off a taxi cab in front of Yusuf's house, with the letter still held out in his hand carelessly, Ibrahim saw his elder brother Yusuf, as he was about driving out of the premises and waved him to a halt.
YUSUF: "What's the matter?!.. Why look so unkept this morning Ibrahim?!' His younger brother's pathetic sight got Yusuf thrilled, as he's talking to him through the driver side door window.
IBRAHIM: (Hissed lengthily) "Aisha dumped me!"
YUSUF: (Surprise) "Aisha?!... Your wife dumped you?! HOW?!"
IBRAHIM: "She took her things and ran away to her parents' house this morning..."
YUSUF: "Unbelievable!... Come in, let's get going. I have an emergency appointment within the town..".
(Ibrahim walked into the car and left with his brother) "...But that shouldn't weigh down on you to this length. What I'm saying is that you're supposed to be on your way to the office by now?!"
The elderly had complained so bitterly, feeling very much concerned about his younger one..".. Besides, you can't go to office dressed like this. I'll take you back home to change into something better" Yusuf added.
IBRAHIM: "I've already called the office, to inform them that I won't be coming this morning. Moreover, I don't feel like going back to that house now"
YUSUF: "I understand how you feel at present. Okay, keep me company then...Haba! Cheer up Ibrahim. Real men don't allow women to bring unhappiness to their lives. Be the man you are!"

ADAMU: "Kaaii!.. Aisha! Aisha!..
Long time? I never see me? Where I go since?" (He's the gate man at Muftai's house. A typical hausa man from Kebbi State. He was excited to see Aisha).
AISHA: (Smiles) "Salamaleku.. Adamu, is Muftai in?"
ADAMU: (Confused) "Isi Muftai ini ?! Haba! Aisha dis englis pass me oo" Laughing sheepishly.
AISHA: "Sorry, Adamu. I ask Muftai dey house?"
ADAMU: "Aaah! Yelwa! Oga Muftai, e don come back, na yestaday e come back. Checkam, e dey por👉(for) inside house"
AISHA: "Nagode Adamu" She said thankfully, walking towards the building.
It was an averagely built duplex, owned by late Alhaji Usman, Muftai's father. There were two flashy cars parked within the premises.
The entrance suddenly opened as Aisha was about touching the door handle... She stood face to face with Hajiah Fatima Usman, Muftai's mother. Aisha greeted the woman in hausa language and tradition.
HAJIAH F: "It's been quite a long while, Aisha. How are your parents?" She smiled happily at the visitor.
AISHA: "We give thanks to Almighty Allah, Ma... I heard Muftai has returned so I came to see him"
HAJIAH F: "Yes my dear, the Almighty Allah brought my son back safely yesterday from Saudi Arabia... He's right inside the house. I'm already going to the shop"
AISHA: "Nagode Ma. Segobe Hajiah"
As Aisha turned her back on the woman to enter the house, Hajiah's smiley face suddenly transformed into hatred for the young lady.. The elderly woman's countenance behind Aisha was so very much and nasty... She felt like strangling Aisha to the death if it were to be possible.
When the visitor finally walked into the house and shut the door behind her, Hajiah Fatima hissed lengthily at her, walked into one of the cars, and started calling on Adamu to go and open the gate for her to drive out.
AISHA: " Salamaleku. Please tell Muftai that Aisha is here to see him" She said to the house help whom she met in the sitting room mobbing the floor"
The house help went upstairs, and returned later, accompanied by a pregnant woman. Aisha's heart skipped immediately at the sight of the pregnant woman.
"You may be seated, my husband is still in bed. But he'll soon come downstairs" The pregnant woman said.
AISHA: "Did you say your husband?!" She needed to be sure she heard what the woman said clearly.
"Yes. My husband Muftai.." (At this point Aisha's legs have started shaking on the ground. She couldn't sit down)
"Honey, are you coming?!" The woman called looking upstairs.
MUFTAI: "I'm coming already baby"
Aisha recognised the voice. She slumped unconsciously on the floor and passed out, the moment Muftai came to sight...
Confusion set in immediately as everybody began to run here and there, looking for an aide to retrieve Aisha back consciousness.
