She didn't get to finish before mom gave her that slap"rukayya ni......
"Rukayya ni sa'ar kice(rukayya am I your mate)"ki kalleni kina fadamin irin wannan maganar"(you look at me and be telling me this)I was stunned because everything was just surprising and there's no way am saying pim
"Ba gaskiya nafada ba"(isn't it the truth I said)"Wlh naji kunya mama kece mama ta,amman kiyi hakuri tunda gaskiya itace bakya so Insha Allah bazan kara cewa komai akan ki ko yayanki ba"(I swear am disappointed mom you're my mother,but am sorry since the truth is what you don't want by God grace am never saying anything about you or your children again)she spat disgustingly,looked me up and down and said"watarana zakiyi nadama najma har in baki canza ba"(one day you will regret najma as long as you don't change)"keep it in mind"she said and walked away slamming the door loudly in the process.
I still am shocked from all what happened even though mom tell me to forget it,rukky have always been like this among us four children she's the different one(neat,arranged,organized,respectful,kind and modest)she always do the right things people adore her so much,she's never one who cares about the worldly things,that's why we were completely opposite and i bond with asma'u more than her considering we're thesame,she will always tell me to stop doing what am doing but I never listened because I feel like she's hating on me but today after seeing the pain in her eyes I feel something like am I really doing the right thing?
"Yo my hot sissy what's up"asma'u said sitting beside me"all good,how's work(yeah she's a public servant,working in the local government office)"work is still a bore,mom said you got a new catch babes"she said"yeah some guy you know "that's great girl,keep it up"I nod thanks and look at my phone "you sound off any problem" am good just something happened "what"and that was how i narrated everything to her" I don't know what exactly is wrong with that girl,to think she even said that to mom,she really did deserve that slap,who is she expecting to give us money if not a man" my point exactly and there goes away the feeling "I sometimes feels like she's hating on me or something "rabu da ita dan Allah(Abeg leave her)"she's such a villager I can't believe she's my sister sef i said"ummmm let her be and tell me about this hottie" and yes I started grinning forgetting about everything and telling asma'u the story "interesting,I love your love story"asma'u said grinning "keep him,yes big sissy "so tell me where's my bro in-law"who exactly?she asked" your bae of course"ewwww please,I have totally forgotten about that idiot"you didn't dumped him?i asked surprised "what do you think she said sipping her malt"big sis you're bad "not my fault duh,I asked him to give me 100k and the guy was like I don't have it,I should wait till his salary,imagine!!what do you expect I should do? "I don't blame you for dumping him"IKR"just 100k and he can't give it easily "exactly what I said "God please send us a CEO "Ameen my sister "haba this is too much poverty "I agree oooh"at least you have a salary asma I said "a salary of 40k is not what I need but a salary of 500k najma"she said annoyed "I don't blame you really "thank God"we continued talking till my phone rang,it was bae so I excused myself.
"Na tafi kitso"(am off to plait my hair)uhmm mom nodded,just then my phone rang "hashim it says,"haffa hash"all good,why are you not online he asked"i don't have charge that's why what is it?I asked walking out"We have resumed school"I felt like a load was lifted off my shoulder "are you serious"yes I am najs that's what he always calls me "OMG am so happy damn,when is the due date?i asked "tomorrow and we are starting with biology he replied"my happiness died down "seriously not that woman again"sorry love but it's her hash said "can't we skip" we can't,test is in two weeks you know "urgggghhh I groaned fine whatever I will start packing "okay babes see you" alright I hung up.Am really happy am going back to school but not because of the school but because kaduna is my chilling zone,God I can't wait to go back,but that stupid woman with her eyeglasses i will forever hate that biology lecturer how I wish i could bump that class but nah'wishes'.
I didn't even get to plait because they were people and I couldn't wait because am leaving today,I came back quickly and started packing "Ina zuwa kuma"(where are you going)mama asked "school mama,mun koma"(school mom,we have resumed) "Toh kibari se gobe mana"(leave it till tomorrow now) "aa mama bazan iya ba,test ne da ni(no mom I can't,I have test)"Toh bari in tayaki(okay lemme help you then) I quickly finished packing,freshened up and leave for the bus stop "Toh najma se munyi waya"(okay mom bye)I left and quickly board on a car that's leaving for kaduna "I text baby boo and tell him,he didn't reply busy I guess"we left kaduna by 2:30 and will arrive hopefully by 5(I know the journey is quite long so I rested my head on the headrest,put my phone on DND,drop it inside my wallet that's with me in my jacket and drifted to sleep.Hello readers❤️,I hope am not disappointing you,please vote and comment on my work please🙏🏽
