CHAPTER 15
I opened my eye slowly and I looked to my side on the bed expecting not to see Ridwan there and
surprisingly he still was sleeping peacefully and then I just watched him for a minute smiling as he
slept. I loved watching him sleep, I know it seems weird but really it's always fun for me. I loved waking
up to his beautiful face and it always made me so happy when I woke up before him to watch him
sleep. I decided to make breakfast this morning as I was overly excited. I got out of bed and as I was
about to leave the room, my phone started ringing where I had kept it on the table. I reached out for it
and when I checked the caller I.d I realized it was Hawa. Then I figured she had also called me late last
night but I had missed her call.
"Hey dear"
"How are you doing" I asked "I am sorry I missed your call" I added
"Ohh, no problem. I am good. I just wanted to make sure you were fine. I figured you had not gotten
back to me about the result and all" Hawa explained.
"So, when will you be starting work" She asked and I just stayed silent for sometime. I didn't know what
yo tell Hawa, she had worked so much on my application and was very excited for me to start but then
again I really didn't want to start a fight with Ridwan again especially since we just reconciled. Maybe I
was the one pushing too hard, maybe if I listened to him more, we wouldn't fight so much" I thought.
"Are you still on the call" Hawa asked
"Yeah, it's just that I realized that since I just got to Abuja and all and I just recently got married. Maybe
I need more time with my marriage before work comes in the picture. You know how much working in
the hospital can demand from someone" I explained not knowing what else to say. Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
"Are you sure this is what you want, you were so excited to start the last time we spoke about this. You
sounded do enthusiastic and optimistic about everything"
"Yeah, I am sure. This is what I want to do" I said
"Okay then, are we still up for my birthday dinner tomorrow anyways" Hawa asked "and don't tell me
know, you promised. Remember tomorrow is my birthday and I only invited a few friends.
"Yeah, no problem" I said even though I wasn't still sure about how Ridwan would react to it.
"Take care of yourself dear, see you later tomorrow"
"Take care of yourself too" I said before dropping the phone.
I turned to look at Ridwan and he was still asleep as I thought about how much I actually really wanted
this job but then Ridwan was more important to me and keeping my family together is a big deal to
me.
