"Najma!!!Najma,my aunt called startling me "yes aunt is everything okay? I should be the one asking you that najma,she replied.you were completely zoned out and I have been calling you since you weren't answering,you didn't even realize when I came in here she said all in one breath, "am sorry aunt I was just thinking about school nothing serious I replied,she seemed reluctant to believe but shrugged otherwise and told me to come out for lunch "okay I said giving her a small smile,she wanted to say something but then just leave.
I released a breath I didn't know I was holding,truth be told I was lying to my aunt,what actually got me thinking is sadeeq because lately he's been acting weird ever since I came back to kaduna we barely even talk for 30mins straight,he is always giving me excuses here and there,either he is busy or he is tired am beginning to think just maybe he is avoiding me but then i will have to confront him to know the exact reason,yes I will do just that.I take my phone and entered the messages app,
Baby boo❤️: Hey,good afternoon how are you? Am please later in the evening when you are done,call me because we need to talk it's important.
I send it to him drop the phone and went out for lunch.
Some time later
I was in the parlor watching one American movie(MONSTERS INLAW) the movie is really enthralling especially the episode where Jennifer Lopez handle the so called mother in-law,I can't believe even the whites deal with their mother in-laws too,I thought it was just us Africans "aunty najma the maid bahijja called me" yes what is it? I asked "wayanki nata kara tun dazu(your phone is ringing since) "really" I didn't even wait for her reply and just rush to my phone.Alas it was sadeeq that called(4 missed calls)i called back immediately."Hey baby,God where were you he asked sounding concerned,I rolled my eyes and muttered internally(as if you care) "I was in the parlor I replied "ohhhh I see" yeah I replied "so how are you,how is studies? "Everything is fine I answered icily "great then,so I saw your message earlier and called you,is everything okay you said we need to talk?he asked "uhmmm I replied " seriously najma,what's wrong?you are answering me shortly and as if you're being forced he asked half annoyed(the audacity of this man, I thought to myself) "oh please sadeeq so you even have the right to be annoyed when you basically ditched me for how many days now? I asked yelling completely annoyed "baby I... he started calmly now" save me the explanation just tell me are you over me oh what?i asked yelling again "what!! Of course not baby,you know I really love and i will never want to leave you baby,never it's just that work these days is pretty demanding that's why I barely have the time but baby it's still you and nobody else am really sorry I make you feel unwanted but I swear it wasn't intentional and I really love you so much please forgive me baby am so sorry"he said at one and God guys my heart really warmed with this because he said it in a calm and soft voice that makes me melt that very spot "ummm,you're just trying to sweet talk me nothing more am so sure I said now with a cool voice "baby I swear am not you know it that I love you and I promise I will change,no matter how busy I am but I will still try to call you at least so you could be calm I give you my word,am sorry again baby please forgive your husband now"he said,he sometimes love calling himself my husband and it always did it for me just like now "fine then you're forgiven"I said smiling "really baby thank you so much,i so much love you and I promise I will make it up to you he said sounding happy "you better I replied back.And yes from that day he did keep his words he even send(200k) to me and boy was I grateful,he kept pampering me caring here and there,showering me with love and yeah I was happy because I got my baby back.
It's been weeks since our comeback and yes true to his words he really did change,today is Saturday so I decided since it's a weekend we should spend the whole day together actually so I called him "baby good morning he said in his husky morning voice "good morning mine,how are you?"i asked "am fine baby,you?did you slept well "yes I did mine,still sleeping I see!i said" yeah babe but....am hold on babe I will call you back in a minute he said and didn't wait for my reply and just hang up"pffffffffff I breath out am so damn sure it's work again.he called after few minutes "baby am really sorry,office called just now and I have to rush I will call you immediately am less busy,love you,bye"I couldn't even said anything to him and like I predict it was work even on a f*cking Weekend he doesn't get rest.
If I tell you I really wasn't pissed then am a big liar so to kill my time and not dwell in boredom I got into Instagram,I checked my activity for followers I have to confirm because I have a private account and guess who I saw follow me back,it was that handsome big boy,I have forgotten about him because I was offline for a few days but he followed me back I confirmed him immediately and guys guess what he did next.......................
Hello readers❤️how are you,I hope you all are well so guys here is an interesting date and yes I make sure it's long,guys please,please am begging you vote and comment on my work it's the only way I know am doing the right thing please.love you all
