Yours

Chapter 14

I and Hauwa stopped stuffing out faces with food after our stomachs started to hurt.

Then she dragged us to the dance floor where most of the family members were as she and Halima tried to copy Fahad and Aliyu's dance moves, I was the person taking the videos laughing at them and to spite the two guys even more I moved the camera to their faces to get their reaction.

I'm sure if they had tomatoes they would have thrown it our way.

We took tons of photos, with Hameeda and Umar, the girls, Aliya, Aliyu, everyone.

And Umar  looked happy and that was what Hameeda had wanted the most so I can say that overall it had been a very good night.

I had to leave before everyone and while the party was still going on because well...I have a curfew.

Aliyu dropped me home and I entered into the house with anxiety knowing that I had passed the time mama gave me.

She always gave me 9:30 but today I reached 10.

But I mean it's only 30 minutes and she'll understand...right? I mean it's Hameeda's family.

And well she did understand...but a bigger Wahala was that baba had came back that night and I had to get the scolding from him! Which was WORSE.

I was currently in front of the both of them listening to a 30 minute lecture on how the country is not safe.

"Ku yaran nan bakwa ji! In an fadda muku abu Sai kuyi abu daban, mu ah lokachin mu yara in za su fita an basu lokachin dawowa kafun ma lokachin ya chika za ki gan su ah gida!, Amma Keh kin ma samu maman ki ta bata ki tana ba ki har 9:30! Ai 9:30 ya ma yi yawa! Ah lokachin mu in er mache na dawo wa gida tara da rabi ai ya dawo abun magana, balnantana Keh yanzu ma  goma kika dawo!"

(You children don't listen! If they tell you to do something you do something entirely different, during our time if a child is going out and they're given a time to come back, they come back even before the time is up, but you your mom had spoilt you and lets you out till 9:30! 9:30 is too much! During our time if a lady is coming back home at 9:30 it has become something to talk about, talk-less if you who's coming back 10!)

That was what I had to listen to for 30 minutes plus, after he was done I apologized and I rushed to my room before another lecture began.

I blame mama for not calling me to tell me he's back! I would have rushed back since! But I guess she wanted this to be my punishment.

After taking a shower and saying my prayers I laid back on my bed and I groaned when n registered how bad my back hurts.

I picked up a hot balm from my bedside drawer and I applied it to my back as much as my hand could reach.

After that I kept it back in its place and I washed my hands in the toilet before jumping back on my bed.

It didn't take up to 10 minutes and I fell asleep.

Today is Monday, I hate Mondays.

But I'm thankful that it isn't Thursdays because I hate Thursdays even more! I have my CDS on Thursdays.

I pushed myself into a black skirt I haven't worn in a while, I was surprised on how tight on me it has gotten, when did I add weight?? I contemplated wearing it but I didn't have time to think of what else to wear so I hissed before walking to my perfectly ironed button up white shirt and I wore it, after buttoning up the last button I picked up my veil and I placed it on my head and I quickly sprayed perfume before picking up my tote bag and stuffing my laptop in it before rushing out of the room.
