Mardiya noticed how her sister seems to move about aots these days and how she spent money too , she now has a new phone and a laptop sometimes she buys the food stuff in the house and when mama asked how she got it she would say her boyfriend alhaji gave her and sometimes mama would ask I hope you are not begging him , she would say no he gave her willingly and mama will ask her to thank him sometimes she would ask when will he come to pay your. Birds price , it will be better to make things official so that the two of you will stop moving about in town and be real couples , Badiya would say no mama am not ready to settle, I know ones I marry the next thing is to start giving birth and that’s not what I want for myself, one time I asked her what about her boyfriend the one that pays her school fees the reason why she’s in Schooshe scolded me and asked me never to talk about him , that she has moved pass that level, I kept poknosing into her affairs untill one day she left her phone on the bed  while whe t to take her birth , I was folding my cloths when her phone beeped u wanted to ignore it but then I thought to myself maybe I would know why my sister is always busy going out, so I checked her phone it was a debit alert I guess from a recent transaction for the sim of 50 thousand, wow aunty Badiya has that much money? Then I opened her message only to see a 7 figure for her balance , what the hell is this I did t think Alhaji would just dash out that huge amount of money to aunty Badiya and if he did why is she hiding it , why hasn’t she told anyone yet , at that moment she comes into the room she had realized I found something then she shocked me again when she said I can explain she quickly locked the door behind us , Kabirah is innocent she didn’t want this , she was raped , this was not what I expected I dropped the phone on the floor what has Kabirah got to do with this , what is my sister talking about , what happened to Kabirah, she was raped and w didn’t want anyone to find out so she had to leave, tears rolled down  my face  how can my best friend be raped and I have to find out from my sister, where is she now , she’s in gumai nursing her pregnancy, pregnancy ! How , wait what did you see on my phone my sister asked it just occurred to her that I didn’t find out about kabirah on her phone  I probably found something else she carried her phone from the floor to check what I was staring at it was just her account balance, I could see her regret through her eyes , I wondered what else is she hiding and  how comes she knows my friend secrets and not me , that explains why kabirah has been distant.
