~°°~A heart is made to share~°°~
Wuse 2, Abuja, Nigeria.
7:54 am.
Standing in front of the mirror in her room, Tauhida packed her hair to the back with a pink ribbon then plaited its edge into a knot.
She picked the bottle of perfume on the mirror desk and sprayed it over her body, the enticing fragrance of her perfume clouded the atmosphere of the room.
She looked at herself through the mirror and her lips quivered into a smile, she was satisfied with what she did to her hair.
She was already in a navy blue and white dress so she just tied her head tie and flung her veil on her shoulders.
She picked her backpack which she arranged everything she'll need inside and left for school, she was studying computer science in Base University.
She trailed down the stairs and picked a car key from the chess of drawers which was at the study room's corridor. After which she did a quick detour to the kitchen.
"Hafsa, have you packed the snacks yet?" Tauhida asked after she spotted the person she came in to look for. "Yes Adda Tauhida, let me just place them in a paper bag" their maid said trying to do just as she said. "Toh yi sauri (be fast)"
The irony of it, someone married calling her Adda. But she was indeed older than Hafsa, just that her parents were inconsiderate enough to marry her off at a young age without much as a proper education.
After she placed them in the bag, she rushed over to Tauhida and handed it to her before wishing her a safe journey to school. Tauhida who was in a hurry could only shout her reply as she walked out of the kitchen and then the house completely.
She approached her car, entered and drove off to Cadastral zone, Base.

Her beautiful eyes lingered on the horizon, her defined face glowing with the warm rays of the sun as she walked away from their department to her car with two of her squad, Sophy and Humaira.
Zeezee and Husnah attended Nile University, each in different departments.
"This sun itself is enough make a barbecue out of someone, charcoal wouldn't even compare" Humaira complained wiping off her sweat from her face with some wipes. She always carried them with her to avoid unfortunate things from happening.
"I thought it was only me that is suffering, if not for today's class was interesting, I'd probably be angry by now" Tauhida also complained.
"And this is winter fa, I wonder how we'll cope when the real hot season arrives" Sophy voiced chuckling at the end of her sentence.
"I prefer both than raining season" Tauhida said. "That's because the rain easily makes you sick"
"And I don't like to unnecessarily get sick, so I avoid things that make me" Tauhida said observing the weather even more. There could be a drizzle for a minute and Tauhida will fall sick.
When they reached the parking lot, they didn't directly enter their individual cars to leave no. They opened a new chapter of discussion.
"I get excited whenever I remember we'll be having an interesting weekend, Sophy bless your family again for me" Tauhida mentioned remembering the camping vs picnic they were invited by Sophy's family for the weekend.
It was their parents' anniversary so they organised it as a one time thing, to wind away from everything else. And of course, others who wished well with the family were coming.
