The next day I wake up to messages from the post, going through reply only to realize is my 18 birthday caption were like" happy birthday maman unborn,matar yaya,qalbi and many more.
Birthday was never my thing so am very sure it Nana that post it. A very much surprised hit again, Yaya posting my picture with the caption"happy birthday baby wifey" that's when I remembered him.
Immediately I came down, I saw him dress up to second attire taking coffee' Ina kwana"
Kultum bring my breakfast in time" who told you am awake"
She smile going away.
I sat beside him eating my food comfortable" should I get fork for you?
"No"
I ignore him like he is doing now. After am done, I went up bath and arrange the room.
Coming down to meet him still there but pressing his phone.
" Get your books and comes"
Book"!
Uhm!he said that very clamly in all serious face.
I mattured kai" and the look he pass my way made me do as he said"
Gashi'
You're not to give me but study it"
I signed to the trick move in my Tommy" Yaya" I want raw green mango"
He look at me with two head checking his watch to 11:40AM"
Nifa dagaske nake"
You can have me, nima mangoro ne" because I told you to read your book, you bring up this mark
Yaya"! Am serious he said.
But I never bother you about my swing mood. He adjust it position ignoring me.
I pick my phone in mind to call Adda or Mami when I heard" pass the phone" and John has gone to get it".
Is you I want not John from the three here"
Fisabilillahi did you see any mango on the tree there?,and fact isn't yet it seasons"
My mouth is already bitter to the taste of the mango. I look at him with the now teary eye". Fine I will go!
I look at him wiping my eyes.
Very low low in it jaw'must you cry for everything'
Yaya you' I what!.
I watch him as he take his cap going out"lemme get my veil" the look he slap me closing the door.
Few minutes he came back with big mango straight to the kitchen.
My joys no boundaries after he place the tray on my lap.
"Kultum please get pepper for me"
He watch me in displeased way as I take the slice cut mango with pepper to my mouth licking my tongue closing my eyes"
And what's this drama?
Yaya you don't know it? He look at me for go ahead" it's boarding school food and back then in bauchi me and dije used to take it after islamiyya before going home"
I don't want you complaining later he said holding his ear" naji"
Time to time, I could feel eyes on me"you want to try some! It sweet!
No thank you"
Okay.
After am done, I study my book with the person close to me already asleep.
8:00PM
Nana and maimu squad send surprised cake to me, not that I expected it, as there's no much of things to do, I sleep early.
The next day also fly in veiw with nothing, our exam date was drawn back. I focus so much on my reading career without yaya tell me this time, and through out this he's been an understanding partner. Each day he made tea or any sweet thing to keep myself busy with I appreciate it.
Like an empty place in kitchen, today mark my exam day, already set waiting for john when he offer to take me through out the start till end he being taking and bringing me back.
Two days after our exams, he announced our leave to Lagos. That day Mami pressure him to take care of me and all stick warning as we catch a night flight with kultum.
