Amna shifted in her seat "Marriage? Who got married?"

"Wai dama baki fadda musu ba?" He said looking at his wife with a small frown on his face, Aunty Saadatu simply looked away.

(You did not let them know?)

Amna was skeptically looking at her father, for some reason I believed she thought it was him who got married.

"Your brother" He said to Amna.

"I can't be the brother you're talking about since to my knowledge I didn't get hitched today" Ya Khalifa said out loud trying to analyze it.

"Which leaves us with Yaya, but that's not possible because the mention of marriage has his entire week spoilt" Ya Khalifa said.

Ya Muhammad let out a soft chuckle.

The younger brother turned to look at his father "So which other brother does Amna have?"

"Muhammad din dai da kayi mentioning" Baba replied.

(It's the Muhammad that you mentioned)

Ya Muhammad continued eating the rice in front of him quietly as if he wasn't the current topic of discussion.

I couldn't even touch the food, I felt sick.

Amna gasped.

"Huh?" Ya Khalifa said dropping his spoon on the plate.

"Please don't tell me it's Zara, just when I'm glad she left" Ya Khalifa said shaking his head like he was in pain.

His mother who was next to him whacked him over over his head.

I let out a chuckle.

Amna still wasn't at ease, she turned to her father "Baba who did he marry?"

"I would have said you ask him since he's right here with us, but since the wife is here too, just look to your right."

The way Amna turned so fast to look at me has me almost jumping out of my seat.

I turned to her and she was literally looking into my soul.

Amna sat straight before turning to her father and pointing at me "Manal?!"

"Considering she's the only person to your right then yes mamana" he said.

She say down quietly for a second before her jaw dropped open and she turned to me with a wide grin "so when I called you sissy in law you're telling me I was saying it into life???" She exclaimed before throwing herself on me.

We almost stumbled out of our seats.

She pulled away "oh My God! Oh My God! When did this happen? And why am I just finding out??" She said.

Don't worry, I also found out an hour ago. Literally.

She moved to Ya Khalifa to say something to him but as she looked at him the grin slowly fell from her face.

"Shit" she whispered to herself.

I looked up to see what she was looking at, Ya Khalifa was looking down at his plate.

He didn't say another word before forcefully moving back from his seat, his chair fell on the floor with a bang causing I and Amna to let out a gasp.

He walked out of the room without another word.

"Ah ah" Baba said, looking at the rest of us for an explanation.

I frowned at his actions.

I looked at Ya Muhammad and he was doing the same, he turned to look at his mother who was refusing to meet her other son's eye.
