NAJMA'S ORDEAL

Chapter 7

We arrive kaduna at exactly 5:15 and I board into a keke napep and leave for unguwan dosa(I stay at my aunts house not hostel)

Am so exhausted God,I sigh"bahijja kawo min ruwa"(bahijja bring me water)I heard my aunt saying that to her maid so I went to meet her at the parlor "salama alaikum"I said announcing my presence "waalaikum salam,ah najma welcome"she said all smiles "thank you aunt I said sitting down,good evening aunt I greeted her "evening najma how was the journey "fine Alhamdulilah"I replied "ahhhhhhhhh I sighed for the umptenth time"kin gaji ko sannu(you're tired right,sorry) "so tired indeed,where are my cuties,I asked referring to her kids "they're off to their Islamic school "oh okay then,I will see them when they're back"I said standing up "okay freshen up then and rest,dinner will be ready by 7"aunt said "okay aunt,please bahijja should bring me a cup of coffee "okay then she would"I nod and drag my bag tirelessly and head for the room.

I freshened up,thank God for that coffee because i was able to rest well. "Aunty najma i heard my cuties calling me,oyoyo(welcome)they said embracing me in a hug "welcome back lovelies,how are you? "We are fine aunt najma and so happy to see you,when did you come"Minal asked me(she is the first child,followed by adil then samha) "few hours ago my love,now stop asking me questions and let's get you changed"I said,okay aunt they answered all excited "this kids always warm my heart,I love them so much.so munchkin that's what I called adil(he is 7,minal is 10 and samha is 4)I bought you your favorite(kit kat)is his favorite "thank you so much aunt"your welcome and you my girls here are yours,they squealed and thank me too,I had fun with the kids and afterwards we left for dinner.

Sitting inside my room(yeah I call it my room because am the only person who sleeps in it)I was scrolling and checking on Instagram when I came across someone(hot is an understatement and from his looks he screamed rich) I immediately liked all his pictures,reels,some of his highlights and follow him,thank God am popular and got followers (8k) so I know he will follow back.my phone started ringing it's baby boo "hello baby,he said "don't baby me is now you remember me right"I replied angrily because yea am angry with him "am sorry my love,I was in a meeting so I couldn't call and when I finished,I called but I guess due to network coverage that's why it wasn't reachable" please baby am so sorry please,he kept pleading till i finally calm down "fine but next time am not taking it easy" "agreed"he said I could hear the excitement from his voice and I was happy at least he values me, we continue talking and somehow I fell asleep on the call because I was so exhausted.

I have never been grateful to my baby for waking me up early except today because if not for him I would have missed the annoying class "you in blue where is your note?i heard her asked,i raised my head only to realize she was talking to me and God i don't have the note(handout) "actually ma I forgot it at home I replied" what!!and how did you not forget yourself too"she asked annoyingly,this is why I hate this woman "technically I couldn't I said equally annoyed and I forgot it due to rush sorry I said not entirely apologetic"she looked me up and down and murmured a "it's fine and better not forget it next time"I brushed her off and continue listening to her unending talks that I didn't get to understand a single thing from.we finished her boring class and went to the cafeteria to get something to eat with my guys and yeah am not leaving because we still have another class.

"So najs,how was your holiday"that was khaleel asking(a coursemate and a friend) "boring,tiring and unadventurous I replied uninterested"awww sorry sweerie that was meelah(jameelah) "it's fine I said waving her off "how about you fadee(fadeelah) how was yours "it was the most amazing holiday guys,she said happily(we went to our family house in Bauchi and almost all of my cousins were there too,we had so much fun,we attended this lovely wedding,did some family picnic and lastly went to the yankari game reserve)she finished her story sounding so exciting like she's reminiscing the memories "well that sounds indeed amazing fadee"I said "Ikr amazing it's she replied" we continued talking with everyone telling about his holidays while I just listen to them (hashim went to UK for his vacation,meelah went to morocco because that's her origin,khaleel did some computer training and chill in Lagos island and hafeez also a friend and the last of our gang did some NGO work.we are six in our gang(3 girls,3 boys) Me and hash are birds of thesame feather(you know what I mean),fadee and khaleel are chillers too but keep it low while meelah and hafeez those two are bookworms and the most serious of us all,always preaching here and there.
