Uncovered (The Life Of Sameera). By Amina Haliru

chapter one

So guys I have come up with another story I hope you will enjoy it, it's about a girl who happened to be in a stage of shorck and trauma 😉so let's begin.............

Try to follow and find out what put her in that hectic stiuation.

.....................

Under the darkness my heart aches , seeing them like this make me feel anguish.

It was because of me .... they were in this situation because of me....I cried in anguish,the way my own brother is looking at me with pity makes me feel dehydrated, I want to choke and die.

I feel dirty whenever I see one of their faces, the message they are sending to me is enough to make me feel suffocated.

It was all my fault, I wish I had stopped them, I wish I knew better.

Mom, Dad, Habib and Shua'ib were on their way to Nnamadi Azikwe airport  Abuja.

They are almost at the airport
While that happened_______qiiii!!!..

"Sameerah! Sameerah!!, wake up please"  from the world I was in I could hear some one tapping me and calling my name, probably waking me up.

I did not hesitate to horridly come out of that dark world, from that bad dream that keep hunting me for almost two years now.

"sameerah what happened why are you trembling like someone that just saw a ghost?, you are even sweating she added, I looked at her unable to speak, from the kind of look she is giving me I know she is probably waiting for an answer.

what should I tell her?, to tell her what I have been through, and all the sleepless nights?, na I can't, no no no I can not.

She has been a good sister to me always worried about me,if I should tell her anything about it definitely I am going to add salt to her wounds, after all she has been through so much.

"I am talking to you and you are staring at me as if you are watching a ghost, are you alright? what's wrong with you",maleeka asked all in one breath.

"I__ I'm__ I'm ok just a bad dream", I stammered.

"are  you sure you are alright?" she asked again,uhhhm I answered unable to talk.

"okay next time make sure you pray before you sleep, she said.

"Ok, that's all I can say to her before going out of the bed, without giving her any room to talk further, and rush to the toilet to do my business.

I could feel her staring at me from behind, I know what must be going through her head.

When I came out of the toilet she was not in the room, I was relief that she didn't wait for me.

When I checked the time it was almost time for breakfast, I quickly do my unfinished business before heading to the dining room.

____________

"Sameerah are you alright?,why are you not eating your food, Aunty Safiya asked while looking at me waiting for an answer.

we are sitting at the dining table having breakfast, I, maleeka and aunty safiya.

"Is it that you don't like the food?, she asked 🤨 raising up her eyebrows indicating for me to get to the point.

"I..no it's just that I am not hungry right now, when I need it I will ask Mary to bring it to my room, I answered her question while trying to get off of the chair.

I climb up  the stairs going directly to my room, I can't wait to reach up to my room.

I could hear her asking Maleeka whether she knows what is wrong with me before entering my room.

I sat at the far end corner of my room and started my daily routine which is crying.

I always does this whenever anything or something remind me of one of them.

Who will I share my feelings with?, sometimes I feel like leaving the world for good.

I feel like I am the only one in my big and darkest world.

I feel lonely, how can I keep up with this, my heart is getting weeker day by day, some times I feel like sharing my feelings and my worries with someone.

even if I want to drag some one along, my conscious always judge me, I don't want to put someone in to my problems.

it's not that I don't want to eat the food, it is about the food.

it reminds me of them.....

I don't know if I deserve it or not, but I know surely that one day everything will be fine by Allah's will, it's just my qadr (Faith), May Almighty see me through and those who are in this kind of stiuation I pray.

I heard a nork from my room door and I'm sure that it will not pass aunty safiya.

Samee!! she called out to me, I quickly wipe away my face and check the possibility of her finding out I was crying, compose myself before opening the door.

I open the door for her and smile at her, she gave me a heart warming smile and entered with a tray of cookies and cream cheese.

She kept it on my bed side drawer and sat on the bed.

"Why are you standing there come up my friend, she said while motioning for me to sit close to her, I did as she said.

She shift her sitting position so that we  can be facing each other, when she finally did, she looked at me with that her beautiful heart warming smile that show her dimples.

Aunty Safiya is a beauty itself, she is not that tall and also not short, she has that aura that when she smile it will lighten the entire place, I can't help it so I also smile back at her.

"Samee! my baby I brought something for you to eat, when I looked at the food my stomach started growling for, and at that time I instantly know that if I did not eat I will not leave in peace till the time I decided to eat.

"You know I can't let you be in hunger, I smiled at that, I know aunty Safiya can do anything to lighten up somebody's mood, "please stop being angry with food okay?, she said while bringing up the tray to her laps and she started feeding me and throwing a jokes from time to time till I finished everything.

"You see I know my daughter is very hungry, and you are venting your anger on food or whatever it's, she said while laughing, I follow her and laughed too cause this woman is an angel she can bring the best out of somebody.

I have forgotten about everything until when she asked a question that came out at the list expected, because I didn't expect it, I thought she is done with what brought her here, should I tell her?, what should I do? ohh God of Mercy help me to escape from this woman,"I said are you ready to talk about it, whatever it's that is bothering you?, she said tapping her hand on my shoulder, that brought me out of my reverie........
