Sul's POV

"Alright" i collected the POS gadget and input my card pin.

The price was deducted from my account and receipt paper slided itself out of the POS.

They put the phone into a white bag which had the phone shop logo and handed it to me.

I put my ATM card back into my wallet and stepped out of the shop with Khayr's new phone in my hand. I took her phone the last time after she ruined it to try fixing it. It was a Samsung s10. However, it was after I'd just started the process of fixing it that i thought, why not get her a new phone? Especially since the fixing would cost a lot already... So i got her an S20 and i plan on giving it to her tonight insha Allah along with her sim and memory card which i had removed from the old one while i was processing it's repair.

I entered my car and quickly turned on the ignition. I wasted no time in flipping the AC on. It's so scaldingly hot today. I didn't leave the car out here in front of the shop for that long, but it already feels unbearable to be in. And then, that's Sokoto sun for you. I curled my fingers around the steering wheel, reflecting on the events of these past few days as the interior of the car tardily cooled down.

I mean, i don't understand this unending streaks of misfortune.

One catastrophe followed by the other has been encountering me ever since Sherry arrived. Infact, her arrival was the first to begin with.

I've always thought that i was a blessed child, a lucky child, until the final days of this year's Ramadan and this Eid as a whole.

Has made me start to believe that I've been cursed or struck by thunder or something.

I'll fill you in.

The first was Sherry's arrival; obviously.

On the day i went to visit Sherry after lodging her at that hotel, i received a call from my secretary that Aisha Hassan requested to see me.

Of course, after all of these years, i ought to see her and hear what she'd have for me. I was curious. So i met her the very next day, on the twenty fourth of Ramadan. And boy did Aisha's confession fucked my mind up. It literally made my brain somersault and put my entire mental system into blind chaos.

I fell sick after that chat with her. I forced myself to go to work for the next few days, but malaria eventually knocked me out. I remember i didn't see the sunlight for days. I couldn't go for work, couldn't go anywhere. My phone even died. Hell even within myself i felt like i died. I was holed up in my room, allowing myself to be tormented by the truth about my existence; which was relayed to me by her. And also by my high fever which i was yet to treat. The next time I'd step out of house again would be on the twenty ninth.

I don't know what happened, but i just decided to snap out of it and face reality on that twenty ninth, after long agonising days. Since i now know the truth, there's no use being a baby about it. I needed to face reality and plan my next steps with my life. Know who to add and who to subtract out of my life. There's Khayr too. I had no idea what has been going on with her during that timeframe even though we literally lived under the same roof. Also, i needed to rejuvenate myself. I needed to get medications, restore my health so i can think ahead and plan appropriately.
