"Good morning senior Eshma, wishing you good luck on your exams" different students greeted as I passed by, heading to the exam hall, I only nodded and reply some with a smile

We're starting our waec today and I'm almost late to school, everyone is here and the exams is starting in few minutes.

"Good morning students" the exam officer said

"Good morning Mr Richard" we'll chores out

"I hope everyone is sitting in his/her seat" he asked, some say yes while some say No

"You have five minutes to settle down" he added before walking out of the hall, he came back after some minutes,pass us the exam paper and we start, it's was biology and Alhamdulillah it's went well

It's was a morning paper and we're free to go back home after the exams, I call Ammie to inform her that Afnan's driver will drop me off, she gist me about her boyfriend on our way back home

"Bestie that guy is very handsome and hot" said Afnan searching for his pics on her phone

"Ahh this guy really steal my Afifi's heart" I said

"Wallahi he stole it, and it's seems like his from a very rich family, did you see his outfit omo, the shade he's wearing sef no be small thing, did you remember that Arami shirt I show you on Jumie" she said exaggerating on every single word she said

"Yes I remember" I said rolling my eyes

"See his pic Abeg he's my dream guy" she said passing me her phone to see his pics

"Awwwn My Afifi where did you find his Arab guy, he's handsome Mashaa Allah" I said teasing her

"We meet in Anty Waleeda's dinner" She said munching on her fries

"Ohh you told me earlier" I said, she keep talking about him

I remember the guy from the airport, he proposed to me but I told him that I will think about it, he gave me two weeks to do so and today is exactly a week, I have seven more days now

"Hey what are you thinking about" said Afnan waving her hand in front of my face

"Uhm nothing" I urge

"Eshma what's going on" she said furiously, i sigh deeply and turn to the other side of the window, we knew each other too well not know what the other is feeling, she hugged me from the side

"Stop thinking about your past please, He's in a good place In shaa Allah" she said whipping up the tears in my cheek, tho I'm not thinking about him but her saying something about him makes me  to remember the incident that happened year back, the rest of the ride was silent, she escort me inside and greet Ammie before they drive back home

I spend the remaining hours of the day in my room.

                             ******

It's friday so I decided to spend the weekend at Anty Faty's.

"Ihsan I like this your dress" I said lifting a beautiful fitted lace gown from her closet

"As if you will wear it if I give you" she said with a glare

"Wallahi I will wear it" I said, just then my phone start ringing, "Ihsan pass me my phone now it ringing"

"I'm using it" she said passing the phone to me, the call ends before I collect the phone, the caller calls again after few minutes it was Abdulraheem,

"Ya ilahi I'm not ready for this I mumbled under my breath before receiving the call

Abdulraheem: Hello darling
