“So let me know, if you don’t want to do this anymore, I won’t disturb you, I won’t hold you! Let me know uwo uwo if you don’t want to do this again, I won’t disturb you, I won’t hold you... But don’t call me back oo, don’t call me back! When you see that I’m with another person, baby don’t call me back oo, don’t call me back when you see that I’m with another girl...”
Kpaaam! Kpaaam!! Kpaaam!!!
They banged on the toilet door again as if they wanted to break it down.
Where? She didn’t even realize anything was happening; instead, she increased the volume of the music she was singing along to through her earphones.
“Even if you call, it won’t connect, ‘cause I won’t be there, I won’t be there to make you forget, come another day...”
She sang while twisting her body like a snake, rubbing her foam-covered skin in a seductive manner.
They banged on the door again, this time with such force that she heard it even through her earphones.
She quickly turned toward the door and pulled out her earphones at the same time.
"Are you not coming out, for your father's sake?!" someone shouted from outside, still banging hard.
Her eyes widened like they would fall out of their sockets, and she hurriedly rinsed her body in panic.
“ZAINAB!”
The voice called again, clearly furious.
"Y-Yes mummy… I’m coming now, I swear," she replied shakily, grabbing a towel from the hanger and wrapping it around herself even though she hadn’t rinsed properly. She stepped out of the bathtub, moving toward the door with trembling legs.
She stared at the door fearfully, too scared to even reach for the handle.
“Are you not coming out?!”
The voice thundered, making her jump.
Her hands shaking, she unlocked the door and prepared to run.
She flung the door open and dashed out screaming at the top of her voice.
Her mother stepped back quickly to avoid being knocked down, grabbing onto a metal railing for support — without it she would have fallen.
Zainab didn’t stop. She ran out, eyes shut tight, screaming again and calling Daddy’s name.
Not caring about what she was wearing, she ran downstairs clutching her short towel, weaving through the house staff who were busy working.
They all stopped what they were doing and stared at Madam with concern, wondering what Zainab had done this time.
Before they could finish thinking, Hajiya herself hurried down the stairs, phone charger cable in hand, shouting after Zainab as she seemed ready to run outside.
The workers quickly ducked their heads until she passed, then watched her leave, shaking their heads at ZAINAB’S behavior.
Zainab burst past the gate workers in the compound. Her towel shifted, revealing her thighs, but she didn’t care — she just wanted to reach Daddy’s part of the house before mummy caught her.
Seeing mummy coming behind her made all the workers lower their heads again and greet respectfully as she passed, furious.
Zainab headed straight for Daddy’s door like she would fly.
He sat relaxed on a soft chair, reviewing something his manager was showing him on a laptop when…
“Daddy! Oh my God, I’m finished!!”
Zainab’s voice rang out. Everyone looked toward the door at the same time.
The door flew open and she barged in like someone being chased by death.
In a split second she was in front of Daddy, throwing herself at him, grabbing him tightly and screaming.
Daddy was completely confused — she was screaming so much he couldn’t even sit up properly, nor ask what was wrong. She clung to him like someone being slaughtered.
The manager stood aside, staring at her, licking his lips slightly when he noticed half her fresh breasts exposed and her smooth red thighs.
Mummy’s entrance made him snap back to himself. He quietly closed the laptop, gathered his belongings, bowed respectfully, and left the room.
As soon as he stepped out, mummy charged toward them angrily. Zainab screamed even louder, burying her face in Daddy’s chest, trembling.
Daddy immediately shielded her behind him and glared at mummy.
Mummy wasn’t deterred by his posture; she kept trying to reach Zainab, who cried even harder.
Daddy grabbed mummy’s hand and snapped angrily:
“MAIMUNA, what is wrong with your head?!”
"You think I’m crazy, right? Yes I’m crazy! And today nobody will stop me from dealing with this useless girl!" she shouted, still trying to grab Zainab.
