Zarah's Pov
Zarah's mom:
Zarah!!! My mermah shout my name from the kitchen where she spends almost half of her day, doing only God knows.Me : Na'am (yes) am coming! I stopped the movie I was watching titled; The northman from my phone, I put on my cap to avoid been scolded by my mermah before sauntering out of my room to go meet her.
Zarah's mom: Zarah go and dress properly, I want to send you to Hajiya Yasmeen's house to give her this broiler chicken.
Me : But maa the sun is too harssssh , I started whining , because the sun is harsh and I wouldn't want it to burn my beautiful 😍 and shiny✨ skin. I went back to my room and drag my long navy blue hijab, I wore it and went back to the kitchen to collect the broiler chicken.
Zarah's mom: I don't know where you got your laziness from Zarah this is past 1pm and Yu haven't bath , You are going out looking disheveled, Don't You know people will be saying Yu are dirty?
but maa I don't care, is not like am going out to look for husband I retorted
Zarah's mom: what did you say?
I am going I replied quickly before she answer back.
Moving down to the garage I remember that I left my phone behind, I shrug knowing that I won't need it and will be back in a jiffy. I pop into my car brand; Toyota Camry blue in color, played my favorite surah; suratul Yusuf and drove to Hajiya Yasmeen's house. On getting there I horn but no response, I horn 3 times again almost getting Annoyed but still no response, I remember that I left my phone at home I could have called Reeda 💙 to come open the gate, I was angry at my self for that. I decided to reverse my car and leave, but immediately the gate got open , a lad of clearly 25yrs of age emerge from it, approaching my car. I was so pissed off that I didn't look at him twice. So I just said sallamu alaika, not waiting for his reply I went straight to the point, my mermah ask me to give Hajiya Yasmeen this, pushing forward the package and he collected it.So I drove back home, saying my sallam at the entrance. I ran to my room because I don't want to face anyone when angry. On getting to my room I remove my hijab and neatly folded it then place it in my wooden brown wardrobe. I walk to my bed to carry my phone, only to find 20 missed calls from khady 🤍 my roomie and also friend from federal university of Birnin kebbi. I was so amazed, like what could have made Khady 🤍 to call me because she never did only chat.
I immediately dialed her number thinking of the possible reason why she called, I sat on my bed waiting for her to pickup but she didn't, I tried calling her again after the second ring then she picked up;
Me: ke (hey), ya dai( what's up)?
Khady 🤍: *sounds of crying* Za... Za.. Zar.. hiccups Zarah
Me: subhanallilah 😟 khady 🤍! What happen? Why are you crying?
Khady 🤍: A marriage proposal was brought for me and Abbi accepted it.
Me: but why will Abbi do that before asking for your consent? Or did you agree to it? Am coming to your place right away.
I looked at my half eaten popcorn and it gave me a pathetic look 😟, Dragging my legs off the bed I decided to change from my night wears. So I took a sky blue torso top and navy blue jeans paired with a black flat shoe, thrown over my white kimono on it and pinned my blue veil. I put my phone, wallet, charger and dairy milk chocolates into my blue Gucci bag that was given to me by my elder brother Yaya hydar💖 as a birthday gift.
I ran upstairs to my mermah's room, I knock , salam, open the door and I walked in seeing her on the bed cuddle with her black blanket made me think whether she is sick. So I decided to ask, maa lapiya? ( Mermah are you okay?) moving my warm palm to her fore head, are you sick?
Zarah's mom: oh sweetheart ❤️ am fine, just a slight headache 😰, where are you heading to all dressed up like this, or is it😉?
Maaaaa , I whine knowing wat she meant and I choose to ignore it, maa I'm going to khady 's🤍 house, I will be back by 6pm seeing it is 2:30pm already and maybe I will pickup Ammar and co from Islamiyyah.
Zarah's mom: alright be safe dear, take care of yourself!
Sure I will and also do same, I will call You every second to check on you ,I exaggerate. Love you so much 😘, bye 👋
Zarah's mom: oh God🤦🏼♀️, smile 😊😊😊, my regards to Ammi (Khady's 🤍 mom) , love you more sweetheart ❤️.
I sauntered to my car, exchanging greetings with the gateman and drove out. The traffic is less today been Saturday afternoon, everyone must have been in their various room taking naps.
From my home to Khady's🤍 is 30mins drive, I horn at the gate and Mallam Abdulmaleeq there gateman open the gate smiling because he recognize me, I drove in park my car at the garage where I saw a space maybe one of the family member is out. I alighted from my car picking up my bag and Mallam Abdulmaleeq ran approaching me, we exchanged greetings and gave him 2k to buy suya.
I walked to the house saying my salam at the entrance, I decided to go greet Ammi before going to Khady's 🤍 room. Assalamualaikum I said at the door of Ammi's room, immediately she replied with her melodious voice wa'alaikumu salam shigo (come in), and I push the door open walking in.
Ah ah ah is it Zarah? .. engulfing me in a hug. You don't come to my house any more why?
Good afternoon Ammi, am sorry I have been busy I replied
Afternoon how are you, your mom and siblings? Oh eyyah dear I thought you forgot about your Ammi.
Alhamdulilah 🤲 they are all fine, no Ammi how can I forget you, that impossible 😊.
Oh alright 😊 Ammi replied.
We chit-chat a little bit before she said my friend is in her room, go check her.
I Walk out bumping into someone and the papers fell to ground, oh am sorry I utter bending down to pickup the papers, then hand it to the owner, You😠 i said , knowing it is ya Fareed , Khady's 🤍 elder brother that always tease me and calls me sleepyhead😴.Sleepyhead!
