SETTLE DOWN NIGHT-TIME, CAST AWAY ARDUOUS THOUGHTS, PEACE BELONGS TO YOU.
Today is Saturday and we are going to Abuja by train, Then hopped to Egypt Insha Allah.
I woke up since Fajr prayers, I took my bath and dressed in a simple blue gown. I put on the last things on my list inside my bag. I made breakfast for us and I finished mine as soon as possible.
After the breakfast, Umma called me to her room.
"Khajiah, You're starting a new life, you'll be away from your family for awhile, Don't forget what you've been thought, don't make bad friends, think twice before you take action. Respect your self, Remember you're a Muslim, what ever is Haram you should try your best to be far far away from it, don't let it come your way, when it did, make sure you turn your back against it for ever. Don't let bad friends to influence you, make good friends, friends that are religious, friends that will remind you of thereafter. Friends that will tell you the pure truth, Friends that would make you happy, and also friends that will help you achieve your goals. Your dressing! I know I've no problem with that, I know the daughter I gave birth to, I know the person you are, please dress how your religion ask you too. Be positive always. Please be the good girl I know. Be at your best behavior. May Allah distance you from the evil eyes, May He be your Protector, May He lead you to the best Path. May he help you achieve your goals. May Allah bless you Abundantly. I love you Khadijah, and I'll always love you." Umma said hugging me tight. Both of us were crying. We stayed like that for only Allah knows.
"Insha Allah Umma I'll not let you down, I'll be at my best behavior. I'll make you proud Insha Allah. Iove you so much umma. I love you Umma." I said bursting into another series of cries.
"Insha Allah. Now let's go outside, I think they're waiting for you." Umma said cleaning her tears.
I just nodded, dragged my foot outside.
We met everyone outside, Maryam, Ummi with bloodshot eyes, It shows that they cried too.
I went to ummi and hugged her.
"Khadijjjaah," ummi called. "I'll miss you. Please be the good girl you are. I know your mom has said enough. Don't forget what she told you okay? Look after yourself and your sister. May Allah bless you abundantly."
I cried alot, I didn't expect it to be this hard. But I failed woefully. It's more than hard. It's the hardest moment I've ever encounter with.
Maryam came back to where ummi was standing. Ummi joined our hands. "Look after each other.". She said.
Ya Yusuf was standing by the car, his head was down through out the moment.
"Ya Yusuf" , I called.
"Yes," he said raising his head.
It seems he couldn't find his words. "I'm here to say goodbye." I said.
"Well, I'm coming with you to the train station, I guess we still have time before the goodbyes." He said.
"Oh okay." I said a bit smiling.
Maryam and I went to Abbi who was standing near his wife,
