Jalo estate.

24

The first day we stepped our legs into this estate, I had no wish other than leaving this place but today that we are leaving,I don't want to go.

I feel like we should stay.It is so fun and amazing in here,the people around here love me so much and I love them too.

Dahlia hugged me tightly as she sobbed wetting my lace.I pat her back trying not to also cry "I promise to come here and meet you guys often."

"Y'all should visit us too." I mumbled and she nod her head before letting go of me.Ramlah turned away and wiped her tears before she hugged me also "Aunty M,thanks for being a sister figure for me."

I hugged her tightly and tears rolled down.I wasn't able to stop them from falling down.

Grandma Tee and Grandpa Ali smiled at me "Don't forget to write you will miss me on your diary." I cheekily said and she smacked me "Just stay."

Shaking my head, I hug her "I will miss you two oldies."

"We are not old!"

The shouted together and I nod my head "Of course, I am the one who have a wrinkled skin and white hair." I sarcastically remarked dodging away from Grandma Tee's smack.

I will miss this.

Letting out a laugh, I looked at Mr Dauda who just finished talking to Abba "You really do laundry well.I will advertise your laundromat to my friends." I will really do,he nod his head happily thanking me.

"Advertise my restaurant too." Aunty Ruks popped in and I nod my head "For sure!"

She smiled giving me a thumbs up.

I hugged her also and said bye to all the rest.

I waved at them as I walked to the car.Tears were rolling off my eyes as I stare at the building of Jalo estate.It isn't just a small building to me anymore,it is a home to me.

I gently wipe off my tears but more kept trailing down.

"GOODBYE JALO ESTATE!"

•••

It was as if we never left the house.

It seemed like I am just coming back from a vacation,like I used to.

Everything was exactly the way we left it and the house was sparkly clean.I walked inside my room and happiness surged in my heart.

"I am finally back,I am back my dear room!" I jumped and then walked around the room dancing to no music.

I touched my big bookshelf and kissed some books on it giggling happily,I went to my reading table and sit down.

It all looked foreign to me,it looked new to me yet it feels like I am used it.

Walking into my balcony,I started watering my flowers that have already turned dry "I will change new ones."

The slow breeze washed over my face making me smile.

"WE ARE BACK!"

•••

I made myself comfortable into my fluffy towel as I walked into the bathroom to have a warm bath, I walked into the bath tub full of flowers as I sat in.

Bliss!

Gosh, I miss this.

After 30 minutes, I walked out having a sudden urge to have a shower.I miss having a shower.

I had a very long warm shower before stepping out of the bathroom feeling so clean and alive.I made tea from my dispenser and sipped it while I increase the Air conditioner.

Closing my eyes in happiness.I started humming to a song that came to my mind.

Life is sweet oo.
When money enter life is sweeter.

I know it is love but in my case,it is life.Hehe!

Finally standing up and rummaging into my walk in closet, I opened the drawer that contain my comfy clothes and bought out a pair of t-shirt and short nicker.

I walked out and sat on my dressing mirror.

I look like a mess.

I have turned darker and I look a little bit slimmer.

My skin is no more smooth and soft,it is now rough.

I carried my skin care products and start applying,after that I wore my clothes and walked out to have dinner.

Everyone was present in the dining area.

The scent of turaren wuta hit my nostrils and I closed my eyes in bliss "I miss everything about this house!"

Bashir looked up at me smiling "All of us do."

We all laughed.

The table was full of food,as usual.

I decided to go for yamarita and a strawberry smoothie then fruits.

We conversed while eating and I smiled happily,everyone looks happy.

Yay life!

After dinner,me and my buffolo brothers played a football match through the play station and I won!

I am pretty good at it.

Al'amin kept groaning like some sort of a sheep just because I won the game.

"Keep sulking,Lamin." I said stucking out my tongue to him and Bashir just laughed.

•••

My bed is soft,very very soft.

Sipping the mock tail,I kept it on my bed side and continued reading the novel I chose to read.

Smiling a little at the cute moments, I started day dreaming of my own love life too.

I also want to fall in love.

Just like they do in books,give your heart to only one person.

Fight for the love no matter what the case might be.

I also want to fall in love.

One day, I will also fall in love.
