"They left home around 7:10 to kawo,They stayed for a while before the bus was filled..The car ride wasn't silent because the noise of the chaos that fills in the bus people kept on chattering non-stop ..almost talking just about family,the government work.."she close her eyes feeling dizzy.."she always get so dizzy, for long drives  and to top it all off, it's freezing, but the driver has insisted on opening the window.

the cold air directly hits her as they ride along the freeway, at sixty-something miles per hour.
I should've bought gloves. Should've worn a sweater . Shoulda, woulda, coulda. She thought
She try to bury her hands further into her hijab shivering.Shops and trees pass by in a blur, while she stare at the window, trying to force her headache away. She shift her neck uncomfortably.she finally stick her mask to her nose..she flex her frozen fingers.."

Adda where are we now ?her brother questioned while they passed a couple of signboard.."
We ain't even out from kaduna yet.her mother answered while they kept on looking at the window..
the car right continues as some of them slept off.
