Jannah's(jummai)POV
    
       Following the sandy path that leads to Baba Abubakar's house to catch up with talatu so we can go to the stream together,I met Gambo on the way,ughhhh the guy is sooo annoying.I pretended I didn't see him and continued walking praying he won't notice me. Since luck was not on my side today,Gambo stood in front of me telling me all sort of things. 
          "See Jummai just give me a chance I really like you,and I want to marry you". The words sounded very funny making me laugh. The expression he was holding was not also helping,his eyebrows were furrowed in confusion as to why I was laughing. " Gambo leave me alone I don't like you and I will never like you,so do yourself a favor and leave me alone"I said and left him still standing.
        "Assalamu'alaikum"I said walking through the familiar cracked door of Baba Abubakar's house. Making my way to the front of Hajia Maimuna's room. I did another Salam to make sure if she was at home or not,But still no reply. I silently left the house. I continued my journey to the stream wondering why no one was in talatu's house because it's unusual, talatu is always at home unless if she was sent on an errand.Weird thoughts started circulating in my head
What if Tala is dead and no one wants to tell me?
What if they were kidnapped?
What if.....
Enough of the what ifs I told my brain. Resetting my brain to be optimistic I made my way to the stream.
        On my arrival,I met kaltumi(the sassy girls)I mentally rolled my eyes because I was not ready for drama i know them and their bossy and sassy ways.i quickly fetched my water and quickly stood to leave " ke,ke,ke ba Ina Koran ki bane(you,you,you am I not calling you?)I heard kaltumi,a fair short girl barely above 5'6. I ignored her and continued walking.
          Everything happened in a flash,kaltumi pushed the clay pot from my head. Seeing the pieces of the clay pot on the floor really pricked my nerves making me sad and angry at the same time"are you mad,can't you leave me alone?,why are you always bothering me?" I asked on the verge of tears because I know I'm in for it today Hajia salamatu is going to kill me. It's better I head home knowing that I have spent a lot of time already which is going to earn me an ear full of shout from her and if I waste any more time it may lead to beatings which I'm not ready for. I left them in tears not before hearing them say the usual demoralizing words she is a witch,nonsense girl,she was abandoned by her parents. " why can't people understand that my parents didn't abandon me they had an accident and died."I silently thought making me shed more tears. I found a little hill and sat there to let out my tears before I go home for part two.
