chapter 3. A Graduate 🎓

After a year...

Alhamdulilah, i can proudly say I am now a graduate.

I just got back from my NYSC last week, is not an easy task but finally school life is over no more lectures,test, exam and what not .I decide to rest at least for a month or two before I start looking for job,i will be going to sister Maryam place later . I took my bath and change into something comfy and skip down the stairs, then straight to the kitchen. I met mummy there and join her in making breakfast.

Ina kwana mamana i said cheerfully

Aba mummy can't i speak my tribe again

Hmm she hummed mokingly

Mummy... and you have not even answer my greetings yet

How are you dear, hope you slept well

The rice is already on fire so,start with preparing the salad while I blend the tomato and pepper she said
