Breaking free

Episode 3

City view isn't that far from our house so it took us around 7 minutes to get there. We got out of the car and went to the outside eating area since that's where the family like to eat.

"Ina wuni daddy, Ina wuni mami" I squatted down to greet them but mami pulled me into a hug.

" lafiya my dear, how are you, ya jiki?" She asked.

" Alhamdullilah I am much better now" I smiled. I was just about to greet Anti when she spoke.

" Toh ni since I'm not that important ba za'a gaishe ni ba"( your not going to greet me)

" Ina wuni Anti" I looked down but i could tell she was glaring at me.

" Lafiya" she said. I made my way to where salma and farouk where.

"Ya kuke " I sighed.( How are you guys)

" Lafiya, I see Anti is already coming for you" Farouk whispered.

" Looks like it" I sipped my drink that came now.

" Hameedatu wai when are you giving birth ne" Salma said

" ke ni ma I don't know, I'm exhausted"
( me too I don't know)

" I can't wait to meet my niece and nephew" Farouk said as he served some spring rolls on my plate with my favourite sauce combo, Chili and garlic sauce

I have known farouk since js1 and since then, we have been best friends. We went to the same uni and lived in the same block of apartments and to say we were close was an understatement. He was like a brother to me and funny enough that's how I met Ahmad.

" Hameedah, is Ahmad taking good care of you?" Mami asked

" Eh he is mam-" I was cut off by her highness Anti.

" Jameelah she is not the first person to give birth and definitely won't be the last."

" Eh but everyone has their own experiences" Mami replied.

I zoned out of their conversation and was jisting farouk and salma the story when I fell down the stairs a few months ago.

" Za mu tafi" Ahmad stood up.

" But she's still eating ai" Daddy replied.

"I know, I have some work to do" He said. I'm not saying he is rude to his parents but he says and does things and gets away with it.

I bid them goodbye and we zoomed off. We didn't take the right way home so I thought we were taking another way when I saw that we were at Nosta café.

" How did I know, I sensed it" He said.

" Thank you"

As soon as we entered, people were staring but I ignored it and went and ordered for us.

I got myself cookies and cream and ordered for Ahmad chocolate and cofee. I could tell the cashier was flirting with me and noticed Ahmad getting angry.

" How is the heat tho, its been rea-" He got cut off by Ahmad.

" Can you stop toasting her and do your job before I get you fired" He calmly said looking straight into his eyes.

Wow

Wow

I didn't think he would react like that, maybe I went too far.

" Sorry sir, Sorry sir" He quickly packaged the ice cream and gave it to is.

We left and Ahmad told me to wait so he could get the car because it was 10:50pm.
