Abandoned Hearts

Chapter 2

R.U.K.K.A.Y.Y.A

Abuja, Nigeria

"Hamma stop it! Give it back!" She shouted as she chased her elder brother around the house.
"Give me my phone back!" She shouted yet again.

"No sweetheart, until you tell me who it is you're chatting with that you're so distracted" he replied still running.

"WHAT THE HELL IS HAPPENING HERE?!" a stern voice reprimanded them both from behind. They stopped on their tracks both with scary looks on their faces knowing who the person was.
It was none other than HAJIYA HAUWA in her full glory. The ever loving and caring mama.

Their mama!

"Lafiyan ku?! (Are you both okay)
Are you kids? Have you seen the time? It's 9pm for God's sake and you both are running around like kids" Mama said enraged.

Typical African mother!

Rukkayya swallowed thickly, "Mama, it's hamma, he snatched my phone from me" Rukkayya was quick to defend herself.
"Is that a reason to behave childish? " mama retorted which made Rukkayya to shut up. She knew better than to talk again.
"And you Rilwan why did you take her phone?"
"Ehrm... Mama... She ehrm...." He replied scratching his nape. He couldn't even answer.

"You go dey explain tire, because no evidence" Mama said with her poor pidgin English making the two siblings to burst out laughing and mama also.

"Mama, Ina kika ji wannan?"(Mama where did you hear that one?) Rilwan said amidst laughter.
"Ahap! What do you take me for?"

"Okay now, Rilwan give the phone back since you don't have any solid reason." Mama said with a now serious look emphasizing the "solid".
Rilwan slowly handed the phone to Rukkayya and she quickly collected and stuck her tongue at him making him glare at her.

Typical Rilwan!

One minute he's laughing the next minute he's frowning.
"Both of you to your rooms!" Mama commanded. They both rushed upstairs to their respective rooms.

Rukkayya was filming her skincare routine for her YouTube channel when her mom entered the room with a soft Salam.

Yes! Rukkayya is a content creator.

" Habibty you're not asleep?" Mama asked.
"Oh yes mama, I actually promised my subscribers a skincare routine video, sooo....."
"Yes yes yes, I know" mama replied making herself comfortable on Rukkayya's bed.

An idea suddenly popped in her head.
"Mama can you pleaseeeee join me?" Rukkayya asked with the cutest voice and puppy eyes.
"There's no saying no to this cute gestures." mama smiled.

"So you guys, we have a special guest joining me in my skincare routine video and the special guest is none other than my mom!! Soo.. mama introduce yourself to them "

" Assalamualaikum everyone my name is Hajiya Hauwa Ibrahim Sherif popularly known as Kulu IBS and I'm Ruky's mom, today I will be joining her in her skincare routine video,which is probably the first time I'm showing myself willingly in her vlogs." mama added playfully.

The duo had so much fun filming the skincare routine video, it was easy because the mother and daughter use the same skincare products. With a few spanking here and there.

"So guys thank you for watching and I hope you enjoyed the video as much as we enjoyed making it! Don't forget to like, share and lastly subscribe if you haven't.. for now we'd say bye to y'all! Smooches!!!" And she turned off the camera and kept it aside.

"THAT WAS FUN!" Rukkayya engulfed her mama in a bear hug.
"I know I know habibty, get some rest, we'll be going to Umma's tomorrow". Mama said making Rukkayya squeal.
"Keh! Dare ne"
"Oh yes, I forgot" Rukkayya said grinning.
"Wear something nice and make sure you're ready by 10 am! In ba haka ba takawa zakiyi! ( If not you want to trek)
"Yes mama, in sha Allah!"
"Goodnight habibty!" She kissed Rukkayya's forehead and left.
Rukkayya just smiled and lay down on her head, thinking of today's event.

Rukkayya Abdullahi Maidala, the third born of her family and 23 years, she's a final year student in Nile University, Abuja, studying business Administration. She has 4 siblings;

Ya Ramadan, the first born and he's 29 years old, married to Nahal Mustafa. He's a private pilot in Dubai.

Hamma Rilwan; the second born and he's 25 years old also Rukkayya's fighting partner. He works at their dad's oil company, which is among the biggest and successful oil companies in Nigeria.

Rumaisa; the fourth born, 19 years old and CEO of Glamour touch. She's a makeup artist and a Third year student in Nile University studying Architecture. Then lastly;

Ramlat; the last born, 17 years old and Rukkayya's look alike but a chubbier version. She's a First-year student and studying Law at Baze University, Abuja.

Rukkayya wasn't feeling sleepy at all, so she brought out her Mac Book to edit the skincare routine video and post it on YouTube. While doing that she put on some qira'a and did muraja'a.
By the time she was done editing and posting her eyes were closing on their own and it was already 2:45am.
That was the time she normally wakes up for tahajjud.

"Way to go Rukky, clap for yourself! You go explain tire later by 10 am" her subconscious self reminded. She performed wudh'u,recited surah Al-Mulk, and did all the dua'as she is supposed to do and drifted to la la land.
