When Love Lasts

Chapter 5

"Hola Familia" (hello family)
"Wa alikumussalam habibti" Mani replied with that look on her face that says don't even start.
I took a seat and said "morning to everyone "they all replied. It's not always we eat together as a family so we appreciate while we still can.

It's Saturday 10:00am
When everyone was done we heard the bell ring ." I'll go get it " I stood up and left.

As I opened the door, Jadwa came in and immediately gave me a tight hug and I hugged her back.
"you're quite early " I said as we walked down the corridor.
"yah I decided to come early so we could have more time before we had to go ".
"Oh" I simply replied.
The outing is nothing special we're just going out to have fun and chill.

Jadwa's like a family member, so she actually does anything she wants. She went into the kitchen, picked up an apple and came out. We went so she could greet my parents, they were still in the dining.

"Assalamu slacking ina kwana "(peace be upon you, good morning) she squatted and greeted them.
"Wa alikumussalam Jadwa " they both replied.
"Ya maman ki " (how's your mother)
"Lafiya lau, tananan lafiya " (I'm fine and she's doing well)
Abi nodded and told us to have fun and call him if we needed anything.

" hey superman, how are you " Jadwa asked while ruffling Ali's hair.
He smiled a little and said fine after which he immediately took off.
"let's go upstairs " I told her.

As we arrived in my room I closed the door, Jadwa sat down on my bed, took my phone and started going through it.
Typical Jadwa.

" Ah, I see you've been checking up on him " she said showing me my phone.
I was confused .
I saw the posts a out Farhan, I forgot to remove that as I was still going through it.

" No , I was just going through people's posts and happened to stumble across it " It wasn't a lie.
" don't even try darling, I can see through you . I know deep down you still have feelings for him, neither will you forget about him nor will you stop thinking about him, especially now that he's back. You keep denying it but you know it's true. I'm not supporting what he did to you at all, hell I'm still so angry " I just kept mum didn't have anything to say.

"Let me tell you something, the people that actually love
you are the one's who always tell you the bitter truth, even if it's bitter ". Feeling like she just said the most sensible thing she winked at me and took another bite out of her apple.

" I'll never know what goes on in that mind of yours, but thank you I'll keep that in mind ". I said with a small smile.

"Anyway, enough of whatever this is, where are we going to first " she asked.
" I don't know yet let's wait for Iman to arrive then we'll decide, but the cinema is the last place were going to. " I looked at her and she nodded.

........................
It's 12:10pm and iman just arrived, we're currently in my room getting ready.
I'm looking for something simple and free in my closet right now.
I decided to go with a long, black chiffon dress with a white belt by the waist and a slit from the knee downwards, with some white jeggins underneath and a white veil wrapped around my head and neck.

So first were going PAINT BALLING.

When Jadwa and iman were ready we left. It took 20 minutes to get there . It's currently 1:35pm.

When we arrived, there were other people and it honestly looks do fun.
There were four groups, four people in each; Jadwa, imam ,I and one other person were in a group. Then the remaining players.

LET THE GAME BEGIN

Immediately we heard a whistle we started. After a while of throwing paint balls at each other I got hit on the arm with red paint and that actually really hurt. I was close to Iman and she was hiding behind a very colorful barrel.

" tthis isn't oover yet, you shall aavenge me " my voice was cracking like I was about to die.
"Ay ay captain " she responded and we both laughed at our stupidity.
It was quite a colorful sight to behold. People throwing different coloured paint balls, ranging from blue to black to pink, orange white and so on at each other.

At the end we lost but it was worth it.

"yeah that was worth it ",Jadwa shouted.
" agreed" it was quite fun, that was Iman.
After a few pictures we left to our next destination.

DEVRICK PARK

Now, this isn't the kind if park you usually have in Abuja. It's an amusement park with roller coasters ,to win prizes, games, arcades and so much more.

We first went for the roller coasters, it was named 'turbo speed ' .After we buckled up and we were ready it started moving, your usual slow pace at first but before we knew it it started moving very fast that we couldn't comprehend. I think I now understand where the name came from, we were moving in different directions from up to down, zig zag, we were twirling around and all through the ride I was just laughing because of how Jadwa and Iman were screaming their lungs out.

At the end Jadwa came down looking like she was about to puke while Iman looked like she wanted to cry.

"That was fun, right guys"they both glared at me.
"let's go"

We were moving ahead when I stopped to throw something in the dustbin, then mistakenly I bumped into someone. I looked up and couldn't believe my eyes.

"oh no "I muttered to myself.
