*kareema's pov*

'Wow!This is really hilarious!like wtf.khardy has totally forgotten who Olumide was.The look on her face says it all.she has forgotten'
"Kareema!!!can you stop laughing already"Amy snapped at me.
"Madam bestfriend, pls don't bite me ooo"I snapped back.

"Kareema speak"khardy demanded coldly.
"Okay.okay.okay......Olumide was apparently your little sister's 'sweatheart'.The one you beat up for sneakily following behind Amy after school not knowing the two were just playing lovers 'hide and seek'.... hee hee...."I really do not want to go further because Amy was already shooting daggers at me.

"ohhh!!!he his all grown up now"Khardy exclaimed.
"but why his he here again"she continued.
"he came to check on me and ... that's all"
"....and what Amy"Khardy demanded.

One thing Khardy and I don't like is seeing Amy in this state If she says there's nothing then that means there's something.

"Amy, talk now"I butted in.

"it's not a big deal tho,he just came to inform me that his school's entrance form are out,which I already know.I listen to the radio,you know.she shrugged her shoulders.

I sighed deeply because I know where this conversation is heading to.if anything,I would love to see my smart and intelligent lil sis go to the university but we are not just financially ready.Mum's hospital bill and .....

"And how much is the form"Khardy asked her interrupting my thoughts.

"Khardy this is not just about how much the form cost okay?Are we ready for the expenses that will come after it"

"I understand you Kams but we just have to try.Let's try and make this ......"
"follow me...."I held her hand angrily and drag her into my room.

"Khardy,you know Amy well enough.You are aware of how brilliant and focused she is.If she sit for that exam, there's no doubt that she's gonna come out on flying colors "
"so why are you overreacting "
"Finance.finance,Khardy.Who's going to finance her.
"Kareema I'm not daft.I know that we were not capable enough to do that back then but Kams be rest assured.Have gat this.No,we have got this.God is in control."

"God is in control.I know.But I'm jobless, you're jobless so how are we going to do that.Mum's ......."
"Enough!!!!!"
"Do not yell at me"
"Kareema calm down "
"I'm calm"
"I'm not jobless anymore.I have a job now and the salary is ...a little bit handsome but let's not even talk about salary but the benefits of being an employee in that company.You can be granted a loan just after three months of working.Only your salary will ......"

"Abeg,spare me with all that explanation.Let's talk about the 'Job' you just got....nope ..the interview first"
"I went for an interview today "
"Yes,you said so.Tell me more"
"There's nothing more"
"what do you mean by that.Hun!.....Hun...you better start talking now "
"And if I don't? "
"oh really!I knew it.i know you can never be up to a good ....."

"khardy!.…....."Amy's voice came from the outside.
"Khardy!tell us about the interview now?"
"were you eavesdropping on our conversation "
"Oh pls Kams,not now"
"Khardy,what interview is it..."she turned to asked Khardy.
"It's a job interview "
"And"
"All I can say is that;it went well "
"Khardy......"

"Okay,fine...There is this man I met when I was working at the filling station.He his an old man tho.He gave me his business card,I don't know the reason he gave me his card so pls don't ask me."

....she continued"Because he hasn't been seeing me at the filling station he asked of me from one the workers at the place and he was told that I wasn't working there anymore, according to him.He got my number from them,he called me and we linked up.I told him about my predicament so he offered to help and the rest was history....."

"ohhh!I hope he didn't try anything funny when you linked up?"I asked hurriedly.
"No.not at all.I'm not a child and you know the kind of sister you have."
"Yup "

"So you have a job now....But what kind of company is it? what's the name of the company and ....."Amy curiously asked but was interrupted by Khardy.

"Osman and Sons"

"Osman and Sons"
Amy and I asked in unison.

"Yes.why are you surprised "
"Why won't we.You don't have any qualifications......but that aside, what's your post"
"Assistant secretary "
"Assistant secretary?Even a secretary needs an assistant?I don't even care.When are you resuming work "
"Monday "
"That's in three days time.You only have one day to prepare ma'am!!! "Amy exclaimed.
"what am I preparing for"
"tsk tsk.How ignorant.....let's go to your room first.

I was rummaging through my sister's wardrobe and I couldn't find a better outfit suitable for an office work.Not even one.

"But where did you see the dress you are wearing"I asked.
"it's mum's"
"No wonder ......"
".....no wonder what?..."
"they look familiar but I wasn't even clear minded to notice that this morning "
"me too"Amy added
"then let's go find some outfit for Khadija in mum's wardrobe "Amy stated happily.
".....hoof"I scoffed because Khardy hates it when her name is been called out like that.
"... correct yourself right now miss" Khardy insisted.
"ok.Khadijah Bello.How about that?"Amy happily wrap her arm around Khardy's shoulder.

I joined them as well and we all stayed like that for some moments.
This moment is bringing in good memories.We stayed like that for some minutes.Feeling each others warmth,scent and love . Moments like this!
Yeah,we can be like that sometimes.Feels good actually.

"So... about  the form?"she asked cautiously 'breaking' the little moment we were having.
"Yep,No problem "Khardy reassured her
"..... don't worry yourself okay? We, your big sister gat you...."she continued.
"....and don't forget we are not alone.God is with us"I added.

And then we went in for another big hug.

family is everything
They are everything I have.
We are everything  we have.
