Second Chance

7; Away from you

Adamawa,Nigeria
12 days later.

    Since the day she arrived at Adamawa,Nafiu has been her  support system...not that She had told him about her family issues because those were her personal problems and she hate complaining to people about her mess.She loves that Nafiu didn't ask as he respects her privacy but as much supported het emotionally.

Her Mum's family couldn't contain their happiness since the day they arrived here,they made us happy and comfort especially their  grandma,aunties  and cousins,and at least that is the bright side of visiting this place.

They had visited a lot of our maternal relatives and had a lot of fun,true to Nafiu's words ,She'll be happy once she met her cousin,the cousin-cousin bond is usually pure vibes.Albeit,She's enjoying this holiday for Nafiu's sake she's made him a promise.Now she'll be going back home to Abuja with only some memories of ecstasy,no complaints whatsoever.

Two days passed in a blur,and she can't believe we're catching our flight back to Abuja,I'm so excited but a bit sad She'll miss some people here.

Today they arrival Yola international airport is an exciting because she's got her cousins in two cars accompanying them.

They arrived and it's goodbye time,the hugs,the kisses,the prayers and tears all of it were sincere since it were from people who sincerely loved and cared for them.Indeed people part to meet again,and she's glad she came to Adamawa this time.

Take off and touch down, her mind and eyes were only focused on the big clouds that had silver lining,at least everything happened for a reason,either it's knowing Nafiu or visiting Adamawa or anything, she was so assured it happened for a reason.

Soon they were surfing their way back home through the hectic traffic of Abuja.After a little while,She's at a place called home,'home sweet home' .

Their maid was already back ahead of time to clean the house and prepare a decent meal for them.She lunged to her room first,had a shower and bounced back into her bed.

Nafeesah slept for 3 hrs,if there's anything the girl loves this much is sleeping Definitely it has to be a ,she woke up to the sound of the pinging amessage from Nafiu.

"Is my girl back to her base"he asked
"Yeah Mi Tesoro,we just got back few hours ago".She didn't leave him a message when she arrived thinking she'll hopefully call him after waking up."So how's your holiday,did you enjoy it"he asked ."I'm under your blackmail right,I had to enjoy every bit of the holiday ,it was fun "she assured him.

"True to your words,I'm happy and had a lot of fun ,but trust me it's good to be back"She could sense him smiling even tho she can't see him.
"I'm happy you heed to my words and you decided to be happy and enjoy your holiday"

"So how have you been ,I viewed your story you look tense"She asked getting worried,she knows the guy is a workaholic but getting tense wasn't his thing.
"Not tensed but stressed "
" You better rest ,I don't want Mi Tesoro to have dark circles under his eyes,wrinkled face and a grey hair on your head"

"No worries I'm gonna rest soon,take a break from work and chill for a while".She logged into her twitter account and searched for his name.
"I'm on your twitter page rn",she told—"Really,what's your twitter user name please"

"Nafee_x"

"I'll follow you back right away"

"Noticed a thing or two about you"

"And what's that?"

"You love football and foodie a lot"

"Yeah you're right "

"Food is life,so the connection is real "

"Do you perhaps love football "

"Yeah,a diehard fan of Barcelona "

"Wow,kin sa me...you're now my best buddy,we on the same team"

"Aww,that's cool"

"Yeah"

"Okay good,I gotta go now it's magrib time"

"Sure bye"

She smiled still looking at her screen that she did not even notice her Mama's presence.When she look up she fluttered when her eyes met Mum's.
She smiled at her and shake her head before she spoke

"Will you keep hiding whatever it is that's going on in your life and I won't find out"she said

Nafeesah open her eyes in bewilderment and look at her searching for a joke situation,but her Mum's looks defeated her and she does not know what to even say to justify the hidden truth about her crush to her mum.

"Maa,it's not what you're thinking "She said with her voice etched with anxiousness

"No I'm not hearing that this time "she said deadpanned

"But errm..."

She burst into a melodic laughter and all the daughter could do is stare at her and give her a confused look not knowing what to say next,so she kept mum.

"I gotcha "she said amidst her laughter

Nafeesah gestured to her exactly not knowing what she's talking about now.
"I pranked you but now I know you're hiding something or someone from me"she said
"I'll tell you everything but not just yet" She said giving her a reassuring smile.

"Alright I trust my girl "she smiled

"And come down for dinner when you are done "

"Sure ma'am "

She prayed,we had dinner,watch movies and retire for the night.

2 months later

  Two months passed like a blur and she didn't know how time flew from August to October so soon,Nafiu and her had drifted apart,he's away from her and as She is from him,life have been so busy for both of them chaos,stress and everything.

Slowly they became distant,but Nafeesah is a little scared their friendship might not survive after this,or maybe he just doesn't like her anymore and she's so sure she offended him in anyway but who knows as human is to err,and now bazillion of  questions pop up in her head.

Or is this what adult friendships look like.

Whatever the reason is she just prayed it's something good and positive.

Hello dear readers,
Now that we're away from our Nafiu ,can you pour your thoughts about their distance in the comments sections.

I wonder how Nafeesa feels about the distance,when she thought of him as a friend as well as her support system and now he went Mia.

Don't forget to vote,share and comment,I get motivated when you do.

Everything in this book is true except for the fact that it was all made up.

Love Islaha_x
