"Ok my child what do you want to discuss" she asked

"I didn't say anything about discussion I only want to jist am bored" I replied.

"Don't you have your exams coming soon?" She asked.

"Yes am just bored." I answered with a sigh.

"Ok I even need to ask you a question"

"Yes kaka am listening" I replied Changing into a more comfortable position.

"Are you close with your cousin?"
"Which cousin?" I asked.

"My husband Mana Haneef."

"Oohhh!! no we are not even close. He doesn't like talking and I like minding my own business" I said.

"You should try and be friends with him he is not a stranger he is someone you will always be seeing for a lifetime Insha Allah." She said with a smike.

"Kai Kaka am I his wife? even his sisters he doesn't say much to them and I am pretty sure he will also be like that to his wife also." I replied with a shrug.

"Then she should try and change him" she said. "people change for love ok?"

"Ok granny that is for his wife to deal with I have no business with that so let's talk about something else, this has even changed my mood I need to go study." I replied heading to my room.

"Ok but I want you to always know that anything can happen at anytime so put it at the back of your mind." She called at my retreating figure.

"Ok ma" I answered without turning back.
