An update as promised
"wake up sleepyheads" said Anty Leema
"Anty Leema two more minutes please" I said covering my head with the duvet
"Allah if you did not wake up I will pour a very cold water on you guys"she said
"Ihsan you're not hearing what I'm saying koh"she added
"Atnyy Leema pleassse" Ihsan said change her position
"Where is the cup" she said opening the bathroom door
"We're awake" we shouted and jumping out of the bed
"(Laughs)hmm god save you, oya hurry up and get ready we're going out and their Husaiina are going to board the evening flight"she said stepping out of the room
I sashayed to the bathroom, do my daily routine, dress into blue abaya with brown loafers and channel bag, apply my usual makeup and my favorite perfume(faux semblant givenchy).
I went to Anty Faty's room and greet her before hopping downstairs, Almost everyone is ready, so we start snapping pics before the rest get ready, they also join us and we drove out of the house to Adda Sumee's house
"Sumee will be surprise seeing us" said Adda Moon
"I swear, she ask me to come over when I told her that we're coming to Abuja" Anty Leema added
Soon we arrived in their estate (brains and hammers), the security guard ask us were we're going and we told him we're going to the Bamalli's resident, he want to call their landline to confirm but we stopped him and ask him to call her husband instead cos we want to surprise her, after pleading for ages he agreed and we zoomed in,arriving at their block we park the car and ring the doorbell
"I pray she won't check the CC camera" said Muhseena
"I hope so" added Husaina
"Ding dong"
"Yess who's there" Adda Sumee asked
Ding dong
"I'm coming" she added opening the door
"What" she said dropping her jaws
"Is like we're not welcome" Anty Leema said
"No come inside"
We all walk in and sit, before greeting her
"Jam bandu Anty Leema, Jam bandu Anty Moon"
"Jam jam, Noi awoni" they'll answer
"Jam Alhamdulillah" she replied
"Adda Sumee where is baby Amal" I asked
"She's sleeping in her room you know she like sleeping" she answered
"Let me get refreshments, one of you should come and fry Samosa and spring rolls" she said drifting inside the kitchen
Me and Sakinat went to the kitchen to fry the snacks
"Eshma dama I want to talk to you" said Sakinat
"Toh fah what did I do" i said
"There's this cousin of my, he really loves you and he want me to give him your Number" she said
"don't give him please" I said putting more samosa inside the pan
"Why, don't you think it's time to get over the past and move on" she said holding my face up to look at her
"No, I'm already over it, it's just that I'm not getting into any relationship, at least not now" I said leaving the kitchen
I went to Baby Amals and found her awake trying to get down from the bed,
"My Baby come" I said extending my hand to pick her
"No Maama" she said in her baby tone
"Adda Summe Baby Amal is awake" I yelled picking her up from the bed
"Okay I'm coming" she said hopping up
"Kawo ta in mata waka(bring her let me bath her)" she said
"No I will bath her just get her cloth food ready" I suggested
"Okay, Sweetheart be nice to Anty Eshma okay" she said
I bath her and dress her in a beautiful pink gown before we hopped downstairs, Adda Sumee where is her food I ask
"Maama" said baby Amal wanting to start crying because she saw her Mom
"Toh Maama's girl go to your Mom" I said given her to Adda Sumee, I will not give you chocolate, I said getting chocolate from my bag
"Maama chocho" she said wanting to get the chocolate from my hand , No I will not give you and she start crying, sorry dear here take I said giving her the chocolate
We converse for some hour before strolling to Adda Narnah's house, they live in the same Estate and their Husbands are cousins
My babes she said and hug us not before opening the door, we exchange greeting, chitchat and had our lunch there before zooming back home.
Me and Ihsan help them in arranging their clothes and the gifts we got from our cousins
"Eshma when are you coming to Yola" asked Husaina
"When I'm done with my exams" I said
"Ihsan what about you and their Saudat" asked Hasiina
"After waec I don't know for their Soffy" said Ihsan
"Senior student, which university are you joining" asked Muhseena
"We're joining Cairo university" said Ihsan
"Ihsan are you serious, I don't know" I said
"Last week Uncle Muhammad came and they discuss with Mom" said Ihsan
"I'm happy wallahi, at least I'm not going to be alone" I said hugging Ihsan
"Saudat what about you and Khadijah" I ask
"I'm going to Nile" said Khadijah
"I'm still thinking of which one to choose" said Saudat
"You should choose Cairo please" said Ihsan
"Okay i will talk to Abba" said Saudat
"It's almost time fah let go" said Muhseena
"So Muhseena you're tired of this house" I said
"It's not like that I miss my Momma" she said
"Awwwn Momma's girl" We awed
"Whatever, let go" said Ihsan and we all laugh
We escort them to the airport and snap some pic before their plane take off, We drive Saudat and Muhseena before driving back home. Sadiq call me on our way back home and I decided we meet in Chic cafe cos it's close to Anty Fatys House
I dress up in a beautifully peach chiffon gown with a matching veil and flat shoe, i dash out to Anty Faty's room to inform her
"Assalam Alaikum" I salamed
"Wa'alaikumu Salam" she answered
"Anty Faty I'm going to meet a frnd in chic Cafe" I said sitting beside her
"Okay You should take the driver" she said
"Okay thank you" I said pecking her
We arrived almost at the same time,
"Hlo Eshma" said Sadiq
"Hi Sadiq"I said waving at him
"Finally I get to see you again" he said with a smile
We get in and sit in a silent corner, I order banana milkshake while Sadiq order mango smoothie, we chitchat for an hour, I get to know more about him, before parting our ways.
Hmm past 🤔, what happened in the past, is Eshma really over it, let keep diving into the novel and see what's in the past.
