She sat in her driver's seat, hands on the starry, and gripping it tightly to her chest. She was getting frustrated, annoyed and blue. She didn't expect to meet Maryam and concerning what they spoke about with Ceo Natasha and Kelvin.
She sat in the car, trying to calm herself but she was so hurt that nothing could make her calm other than to play the Quran on her phone.
Few minutes after letting the words of Allah sink into her head, she started the car engines and reversed out of the parking lot and hit the road. The thought of Abdul befalls her as she quickly connected the Bluetooth and dialled Luqman's number and he picked on the third ring.
"And hello,!
"Luqman. Ya kake?"
"Holding up, Alhamdulilah. I was even about to call you"
"Oh really? What's the matter?" She asked.
"Nothing biggy. I wanted to hear from you, it seems like you forgot your best brother!"
She laughed. "How could I? Never in a thousand years"
"Hmm. Haka zaki fa da ai, (that's what you will say now) by the way, how is work?"
"Wlhi Aiki ba dadi. (The work is not nice) loads of work"
"Got a new client?" He asked and she was quiet. Should she tell him about the case or should she let it slide?
Let it slide. A voice within her head said and without even second guessing, she agreed. "No. Not yet!" She lied and she hated that.
Luqman sighs. "So then. Why did you call? Not because you miss me eh, I know you. You want something. What is that?"
She giggles. "I still greet you ai!"
"No. You greet me because you want something. Not just call me few seconds just to greet me"
"Haba my bestie"
"Chup. Don't say a word. Now tell me."
"I want to see Abdul at school, I don't know when he will close and I don't want to call him. I want to surprise him so I want to ask if you know when he comes back home"
"Ohhhhhh... finally decided to see him eh"
"Do you even think he wants to see me?"
"Now take that thought out of your head. He always wants to deep down, even though he doesn't utter your name like before."
"Alright, I will see him. Which department?"
"Physics I think. He is probably in the main campus. It's almost 2pm. He goes with mama's car, so be there on time before he comes back."
She nodded. "Thank you. Bye"
"Yauwa bye!" And they both ended the call. She pressed the accelerator then pushed the gear shift to D as the car started to move faster, overtaking some cars and heading to the airport road.
Meanwhile, Abdul had just finished his last class for the day and was making his way out of the faculty with a friend of his, John. When two girls walked up to him. "Excuse me Abdul. Are you less busy now?" One of the girls asked.
He raised a brow and looked at John, then back at the girls. "No, why?"
"Can we speak to you? Privately?" The second girl asked and that was when Abdul got colder. "Sorry, I don't entertain private discussion. If you really have something to say to me then you should say it in the open. What is it you want to ask me about?" He asked.
The girls suddenly lowered their heads, getting pretty embarrassed. When they were not ready to say a word, he started to walk away but the second girl mustered the courage and asked him for his number, leaving John and the other lady shocked.
