The Apology

June 3rd

"How long are you staying?" An elderly man ask making him to look up from the breakfast plate.

"Maybe two month,
The school insist i stay for a while before they will give me what i need,
Teaching isn't something i want to do." He say and the man node.

Khalid isn't one that love stress,.raised as an only male child sorrounded by three younger female siblings, his dad adore him and is always proud of how well mannered and generous his son grow up to be,
He still cannot process the fact that he's going to start teaching today but what can he say, sometimes life throw us in a bit situation where you have no single choice than to do as it plan,
He glance at his wrist watch and sigh.

"Uncle i should get going,
It's past time for my class."he say standing up and the elderly man node.

He grab his car key and exit the parlour quickly sauntering to the black Mercedes Benz gle450,
Apparently his dad sent him to a school in nasarawa state to have a slight knowledge of how things are done, his dad is a businessman and want to invest in a minor project in a school, so technically he's in the school for a period of time to understand a few things about school business.

"And so what?
I still didn't regret what i did he throw a can of malt on me,
Beside i don't know he was the one." Khadija say slightly annoy as she rummage through her backpack.

She's currently sitting in the class with her group of friends as nafisah narrate what happened between khadijah and the estrange new sociology teacher.

"Just apologize to him,
This is the last semester before our National board exam you won't want to mess up things." Jidderh say and as bad as khadijah want to protest about the apology she knows her friends are right.

"I heard the exams is been shift to next week." Aisha say and all the girls give her a look of bewilderment.

"Where did you hear this sensitive information?
Kaiii I'm not ready fah." Nafisah say with a sigh.

"The news is everywhere in the school, if it's Monday they will definitely place the timetable today or tomorrow." Aisha say as the class room door open and they all look up.

Khalid scan the class with his eyes,
There's about 30-40 student and he release a deep breathe of exhaustion,
If not because this is for the benefit of his dad and him he wouldn't ever stand in front of a class room let alone as a teacher.

"Okay,
I don't know how this work,
This is my first time teaching and i hope you will both cooperate with me and well..... Hopefully we all get along." Khalid say as he scan the student with his eyes studying there reaction.

"Yes sir." Few student answer and he node.

"Well,
Maybe let's start by knowing each other,
My name is Khalid Ali Ado,
I'm from Bauchi state,
A graduate of sociology." Khalid lie, he is an MBA graduate but how can he say that to the student when he's going to be teaching them a different thing.
A student raise her hand and Khalid node at him.

"Are you married sir?
Sorry to ask but to clear of everything the girls in this department can be a little bit persistent especially to bachelor staffs." The boy say and the student murmur among themselves mostly the female student insulting and Khalid clear his throat.

"Can we start from here please." He say pointing at the girl in the front sit.

"Maryam badamasi
From kwata state." She say and Khalid node, the next student stand up as the introduction go on his eyes caught the familiar face sitting at the back seat secluded in the 360 angle of the classroom and he slightly avert his gaze back to the student introducing himself.

"Khadija you will stand up first." Jidderh say and khadija just hiss lowly.

She doesn't understand why her friends are overreacting about the whole situation, it's obviously just a mere bad first encounter.

"Nafisah bala,
From Benue state." She say as khadijah glance at her bestfriend, she watch as her friends all introduce themselves before she quietly stand up.

"Khadijah Dan-musa,
From here...uhmmm nasarawa state." She say slightly embarrass and sit.

"Did i ask you to sit?" Khalid ask and khadija look up slightly confuse and drop her gaze on the table.

Once the introduction is all over, Khalid give them a slight rules in his class, his likes and dislikes before leaving saying they will start lecture in his next class and leave.

"I can't believe this idiot ask me to stand for almost an hour." Khadija say and her friends just sigh.

"Khadija anybody in this man shoe will react same or even worst
My advice just go and apologize before things escalate to something else." Nafisah say and khadija grumble but didn't protest and exit the classroom.

Standing by his car speaking with the school head, Khalid watch as the familiar figure walk towards them.

"Good morning sir." Khadija greet gaining the old man attention.

"Dan musa,
How are you doing?"he ask and she node muttering fine.

" I want to speak with Mr Khalid."she say and the man shrug excusing himself.

Khalid stare at the girl in his front he doesn't know what to think of her, no Lady has ever disrespect him the way she did but maybe she was having a bad day, he thought.

"Sir i apologize for my yesterday behaviour towards you." Khadija grumble and Khalid avert his gaze from her.

"It's fine,
You can go back to your class." He say and khadija node.

She honestly don't know what to think of him, how can she apologize and all he can say is "its fine" such an idiot she thought as she climb the stairs and her friends instantly bombard her with question.

Opening his car door he spot a receipt on the floor and pick it.

School fees payment receipt
With her name written on it, he sigh and decide to go give it to her in the class, as he quietly climb the staircase, he can hear clear the voices.

"He's a jerk,
Or is it because he drive an expensive car than everyone else,
Ni wlh haushin mutumin nakeji,
Ya cika iyayi." The familiar voice say and Khalid halt eavesdropping.

"Khadija you barely know this man,for the record do he's nasir bestfriend so you better get along with him because he's going to be the bestman." Nafisah say and Khalid clear his throat gaining there attention.

"You drop this." He say handing the receipt to khadija who collect it muttering a thank you wondering if he heard there conversation.
