She switched off the phone and plugged it to charge before looking back at her laptop screen at the assignment she needs to submit to her lecturers email latest midnight. It is an hour to midnight. He had given them that same day. She's exhausted, in the span of 24 hours, she has submitted almost five assignments. The next day is matriculation but with the way things were going it might as well be another school day. She typed and concluded it, wrote her reference points and where she got the data and by the time she had submitted it was 10 minutes to deadline. Alhamdulillah!

She stood up to iron her matriculation gown, pick out a clothe so by the time she was done, she could pray nafilah and witr before going to bed

She switched on the bedroom light and picked up the gown, she took the iron and immediately ironed it, it took awhile with all the bumps and the fact she was trying not to burn it but the result was worth it, after that she performed ablution and prayed then went to bed

The sound of alarm woke her up and she groggily stood up, cleaned up her room then showered, the adhaan sounded when she was done so she wore her hijab and prayed. Done, she walked out of the room, cleaned the gigantic house then went to make breakfast, by then it was 10 minutes past 7 and the ceremony starts by 9am

She made pancakes and grilled sausages topped with strawberries and syrup then served him in the dining room before going back, she cleared the kitchen, ate and washed his plate. He always walked in for breakfast from either his morning run or the well equipped home gym. He had gone upstairs so when everything was spotless she also ran to her room

She dressed in her clothes, took the shoulder bag and wore the gown over her dress and shoes. She took her bag and walked out almost crashing with Ahsan who was on his phone talking. He looked dashing in the dark blue kaftan and cap he wore with his hand in one of his pockets, they were both attending her matriculation since no one else could come for her. If only her family could see her now

"You look amazing" he told her

"Thank you" she replied looking down

"Come on girl, let's go and listen to old men talk about education" he said leading her downstairs "while 80% of the population ignore them"

They took his car and drove off to it, the place was filled up with parents and students, some in the same gown as her "wow, this is big"

She nodded, it is like half of Kano showed up, she could see a couple of kids playing, some parents hugging their kids and many more, makes her miss her family. Will they be proud? They would have been excited that's for sure but not everything is meant to be

He parked in the already full parking lot and they both came down "lead the way"

She led him to the hall and went to take her seat beside Nabila who was waving at her like her life depended on it "you look good"

"Thanks, so do you" they sat down and Nabila began to snap pictures of them both, she is selfie obsessed. Soon the boring speeches began and Nahar instead began to read a book to pass time. Somethings were just boring tbh!

After the matriculation, Nabila led her to meet her mother and the rest of the family, turns out she's a Ministers wife, she was a beautiful plump fair woman with a dazzling smile and kind face "mama"

After the hugs, the introduction began "mama, meet Nahar, Nahar meet my mum, Adda Hafsa, Hauwa, Kabeer and Jaabir, my siblings"

"Hello"

After small talk she excused herself and called Ahsan who directed her to the car and they drove off  "so why don't we order in today?" He asked climbing the Kano highway "and maybe go for a drive, I know how annoying staying in a big house alone can be and after that some Netflix and chill?"

She nodded "okay"

He wound down the windows and began to drive like a maniac. They stopped at a restaurant and he went in to buy things then came back holding leathers, he dumped them on Nahar "there are two drinks in there, fries, chicken sliders, cake, some Mac and cheese, burgers, chocolate cream brulee, pastrypuffs, chocolate gelato I'm getting ice cream when we are on our way back with some roasted fish. Is this okay or do we need anything else?"

Nahar was wide eyed staring at him "what?"

"Ahsan, it is too much" she replied looking at him and back at the things he bought

He looked at her with wide eyes "ops"

She just laughed at his expression and separated things as he drove off. They spent the day driving around Kano and getting to know each other
