Letters To The Ones We Love The Most

NOT FAIR!

Yusrah's pov:
I was in the room laying down doing absolutely nothing just laying down with my eyes wide open. There was ventilation as the wind kept blowing through the rusty windows,.The door kept creaking even  though i put a stone next to prevent it from making such sound.I was about to sleep due to the cool breeze hitting my face on the mattress laying on the floor when suddenly....

Yusrah.....someone called out my name so loud that I had to sit upright and sigh making my way towards the door

Yus..
Here you're I kept calling your name mom said

Well I'm here mom what's the emergency? I asked

Your friend's Dad got promoted yesterday,we will be going to his house this evening .Go get ready

Is that all? I asked  slightly annoyed

What's with that attitude young lady?Who do you think you're speaking to that way?.Isn't bahija's dad your dad?Hasn't he been doing good to us Mom kept shouting at me ,while I stood still with my eyes fixed on the ground, composing my stature as I said my apology immediately she was done shouting.

Well my mom is a Yoruba woman,dad a Hausa man so it was in me to be disciplined no matter what it takes .That's how things go within our tribe

You'd better go get ready this instant she said standing up making her way towards her room

Yes ma'am I slightly replied leaving the scene

.................
Laaa! Hajiya Maimuna(Hey!)
Mom said engulfing her in a big hug before letting go

Na'am ,Ga munan munzo ba sanarwa(yes,here we are with no proper announcement) she replied back with a big smile plastered on her face

Haba dai ba komai ,Dan Allah Ku shigo(Oh please no problem,please usher yourselves in)

Alhaji sannu Da zuwa (Alhaji welcome )

Sannu Hajiya ( Same to you Hajiya)

Inawuni mama(Good evening mom)Bahija said

Lafiya lau yanmata na (  All is well ,my dear)

I was just about to give you a call   about us coming over , you know how things are work,home the kids i totally forgot to let you know.

Ayyyah... Ba matsala (no p) please have a sit

ok she's in the room you will find here there
.............
Assalamu Alaikum (peace be unto you)

wa alaikumussalam (so shall it be unto you too) i replied back

ke!(you) bahija laughed seeing the room in a mess with clothes ,scarfs and hijabs thrown at every corner of the room

what's all this?

Mama ofcourse i said rolling my eyes

I should find a suitable outfit to wear for Dad's promotion party

it's not one biggie, mama just want to stress you and herself i mean ......look at me What am I wearing?

A big baggy top and a pallazo I replied

Exactly! So why stress yourself ....you should also wear something like this

Come let me help you check for something similar to mind she said searching through my wooden closet

I stared at her outfit , the calm scent of her expensive perfume fill in my  nostrill ,not to talk of her leggings which is a top notch. How i wished i was in her shoes I thought inwardly

Here..wear this she said passing over a top and leggings to me

i looked at it once and gave a disssaproving remark shaking my head

NO ifs and but ..Come on in let's go let's go she said pushing me into the toilet to go change quickly

I could hear her silent giggle as she shut the door unto my face ,then walked up to the bed to wait for me to quickly dress .I looked at the mirror in the toilet and wiped a lone tear from my left  cheek .Why don't i have rich parents like bahija's?

I washed my face,grabbed a tissue and removed the Kohl that drolled on my face straighten my self and opened the door to find a now composed looking room and a smiling Bahija now standing

You done already? She asked

mmmmm...

Great shall we she said making her way towards the door when i realised something in her beautifully painted henna hand

Hijs this.....i  said getting a hold of her hand and looked surprisingly into it

oh...she smiled

Dad suprised me by bringing  me a new phone just two days back , well i kept it aside  before i get a sim card and because i don't want to get too attached to it she replied back honestly

it's lovely can i see it I asked

Sure she replied back passing the mobile phone to me

It was a new big redmi phone,I've seen the advertisement on tv .The last time mom went to change her phone she asked the phone price and was told it's Dad's half a year's payment.

Holy shit!.Bahija must be so lucky to have such parents

What? She asked me .Not also your type cos it's not an ios...you know mom also was like.....

Nothing it's lovely I immediately replied

Shall we I asked immediately reaching my hand to the doorknob

Mmm yes hijs smiled sweetly at me
