Najma's Residence
"Hey why are you calling me by this time? Don't you sleep at all?" Najma asked slumberous as she pinned her phone to her left ear.
"Sleeping beauty what time do you think it is right now? Or do you want another night to be scheduled specially for you?" Basma asked.
Basma knew Najma would still be sleeping by this hour and her excuse would be , she's done with her exams so she can sleep all she wants .
"Hope you remember Muntari told us to go and get our clothes by 12:00pm today?"
"Hearing this, Najma opened her slumberous eyes" And what time is it now?" She asked,
"It's 11:50am Najma ! It's 11:50am!" Basma repeated herself exasperated,
"Shhshh you're too loud , just give me a break, will you? I just woke up now or would i rather say you woke me up. Allow my brain to boot first" Najma pouted as if Basma could see her .
At this point, Basma felt like dragging Najma by the hair and give her the spanking of her life.
"Najma I'm going to give you just Ten minutes to get your ass down here!" Basma declared hanging up , without waiting for Najma to give her one of her flimsy excuses.
"Arrrghhh! I'm going to beat this girl black and blue when i set my eyes on her today! Najma I'm going to give you just Ten minutes to get your ass down here" She mimicked Basma as she rolled her eyes.
Najma got out of bed and headed to her wardrobe and smiled immediately she opened it because of the Turaren wuta scent that was coming out of it.
"What should i wear? And that chimpanzee didn't even give me enough time to shower not to talk of getting ready. Well since it's just Ten minutes walk away from our house, I'll just wear a Jilbab."
She brought out her favorite mustard color Jilbab that she usually wears anytime she was going to take a walk around the neighborhood.
"Oh no ! What burnt this Jilbab?" She pouted as she studied the burnt place , which was by the edge of the Jilbab.
"No one is even going to notice and why do i care ? It's not like I'm going to meet my future husband outside. " She shrugged as she proceeded to wear it .
Her phone started ringing which caught her attention, "This girl won't allow me to rest today, it's not up to ten minutes " She walked to where her phone was and smiled after Abbakar's name appeared on her phone's screen. They've grown very fond of each other now.
"If i pick this call now, i know we are going to spend hours talking and Basma would kill me, I'll just call him back later insha Allah." She picked up her phone and purse and headed downstairs.............
"Good morning Mummy" She greeted , Mummy open her eyes wide open looking at Najma flabbergasted, "Are my eyes lying to me or is it really you that is awake by this time?"
"Come on Mummy it's almost 12 and besides i wake up by 1:00pm .
"Where are you going to with this burnt Jilbab? Mummy asked ,
"So it's this noticeable? Well actually we are suppose to get our clothes from the tailor today, he is traveling so he told us to go and get it by 12pm."
"Change into something much presentable then" Mummy declared staring at Najma ,
"Mummy I'm not going far, and besides it's not like I'm going to meet a dashing prince outside you know" Najma winked .
"What if you meet that dashing prince?" Mummy motioned the way Najma just did,
"Come on Mummy , just let me go I'm already late."
