JANNAH'S POV(JUMMAI)
Letting out my tears was the only way I could feel better but then I will still get my beatings today oh Allah help your servant today. I know that I have no genuine reason to use and defend my lateness and the broken pot. Hajia salamatu is soo going to finish me today I can't lie to her because she will find out I'm not good at lying. I can't use tala's house as an excuse for my lateness,she hates my friendship with tala "the girl that influences you into being lazy" she always says. Still having these thoughts in my head I stood up and made my way to tala's house again so I can stop having negative thoughts about their absence.
Luckily for me when I got to there house,I met tala and ahmadu(her brother) at home. "Ke ina kuka tafi ne haka,na zo Ina ta neman ku(where did you guys go to,I came here and was looking for you guys)." I asked tala immediately I saw her not bothering to even greet her or gambo. "Inna saude ce ba lafiya,so mun tafi mu gaishe ta" it was ahmadu that spoke this time around. " auu Allah ya Kara mata tsauki(ohhh may she get well soon)"I said. "Ameen" Both Ahmadu and tala muttered. "Tohh let me be going since I have seen that you are okay".i said to tala and left the house.
Nearing the house I have dreaded to return,I heart kept beating fast. I know what I'm going to face if I enter the house(beating). "Jummai,jummai,jummai" I heard my Hajia salamatu shouting. I know I'm in for it today. "Ina yarinyanan ta je. Baza ta dawo gidanan sai na koya mata hankali(where did this girl go to,let her come back to this house I will teach her sense)". Oh Allah im in soup today I silently thought to myself. Entering the wooden door of our house I came face to face with Hajia salamatu she didn't wait for any explanation,she just started beating me. "You useless girl where did you go to, Karki ma yarda ki ce min gidan su tala Dan walahi sai kin ci kaniyan yau a gidan nan(don't even tell me tala's house because you will be in deep trouble) she said landing another cane on my body." "Wayyo Allah na Anty ki yi hakuri bazan sake yi ba(oh Allah Anty please I won't repeat it again)I said with hope that she will let me go. "Wai na tsaya Ina tulu Dan kika fita da shi(wait where is there clay pot you left the house with)" she said landing another stroke of cane on my back. Dan!Dan!! Dan!!! I'm in trouble wayyo Allah kaltumi Allah ya isa bazan yafe ba(kaltumi I will never forgive you). "Anty wallahi ya fadi(Anty wallahi it fell)." Kutuma wato ma Dan iskanci kin sa ya fashe(so because of your nonsense behavior you broke it koh)." She said still landing strokes of cane on my body.
"Assalamualaikum" I heard a feminine voice say. "Wa'alaikumussalam" Hajiya salamatu said with shock written all over her face. Using this opportunity I ran as fast as my leg could carry me. This woman is a life saver in the process of running I bumped into a guy I think he came with the woman without bothering to say sorry I ran out of the house and went to a secret hideout where me and tala usually meet for our gist.
