Chapter 12_____>>>>>>>>Disturbing Dream.
**END OF FLASHBACK***
Hazbullah turned and stirred on his bamboo bed as he murmured inaudibly.
"Mother mother" Bintu heard the murmurs which scared her at first but she soom realize where it was coming from.
She stood up and peeped over through the small window wondering."Did he just talk..?" Bintu asked herself observing the muscular man stirring uncomfortably on the bamboo bed drenched in sweats.
Upon seeing the condition he is in, she rushed out of her room and straight to Hazbullah's room.
Bintu rushed to his aid putting her palm on his forehead to feel his body temperature which was unusually high.
"The medicine is not suppose to give this effect, then what's happening..?" Bintu asked herself as she furthermore inspects his wound.
The light bruise on his forehead has only a little mark is still covered with the herb she applied.
Bintu got a clean rag as she wipes the herbs off his forehead.
"Mother" Hazbullah called again making her scrunched her brows in confusion.
Hazbullah unconsciously held unto her palm which was on his forehead diverting her eyes back to his hands which were hot."He seems to be having a disturbing dream" Bintu said to herself as she continues wiping his forehead nevertheless of the fact that his hands were on hers.
"Can you hear me, your mother is safe, calm down" Bintu tried soothing observing his feature as they calm downed slightly.
Hazbullah's ragged breath were becoming steady as she wipes his forehead clean off the herbs.
"I cant believe, so he talks" Bintu chuckled as she stood up and attempted to leave but was caught off guard due to his hands holding hers.
She released his hands off hers exiting the room only to come back later with a fresh herbs.
Bintu gently applied the fresh herbs to his forehead hoping that they'll help with his body temperature by morning.
"Papa will not be happy if you don't recover early" Bintu said as she concentrates on her job.
"Mother, mother I'm coming mother" Hazbullah murmured again as he tried to get up but could not.
It felt as if there was a force holding him down, he felt so weak.
"Stay still hey" Bintu said applying as she finished her jobs but still stayed where she was.
Bintu stared at the stranger who seems to have calm down now as he dozes off to sleep.
Bintu yawned before resting her head on the wall of where she sat on the floor feeling exhausted.
************************************
The light casting from the window of the small room settled on Bintu's face as she turned her head the other side.
"Bintu!" Tanimu shouted as he entered the room and was welcomed with the sight of his sister sleeping near the stranger's bed on the floor.
Bintu opened her eyes alarmed hearing her named being shouted like that.
"Can my morning be any worse now" she said as she stretches her body which is sore from the hard floor.
"What are you doing in the stranger's room?" Tanimu further asked.
"He was sick yesterday so I just reapplied the herbs" Bintu tried explaining to her brother who stood over her with his hands on his waist questioning.
"Why do I even need to explain to you, get out" Bintu said side stepping him as she walks out of the room.
Tanimu walked towards the stranger walking him up just as Bintu walks back in clearing the herbs she bought with her earlier.
"I wonder how someone who is deaf and dumb wrestle" Tanimu said shaking Hazbullah violently to wake him up.
"He was talking yesterday" Bintu said to Tanimu who laughed at her like she has said the silliest joke.
Bintu shaked her head unbelievably as she exited the room to get ready for the day.
She carried her bathing scrub and a bright brown wrapper as she exits to the bathroom outside her room.
The bathroom had two doors inside separating the female's from the male's own.
While Bintu and her mother share the female's bathroom, Tanimu and his dad share the male's own.
There was a large ceramic container already filled up with water which Mr. Audu had filled up for her daughter.
She scrubbed her body clean with the waswe plant, the plant the Zoma people use to bath.
The plant tends to create a forming ability with scents depending on the color used.
Bintu prefer using the red waswe because it produces a very feminine scent of roses.
She exited the bathroom to her room after finishing her daily task.Hazbullah's POV:
The young lad directed me to a small looking building calling it a bathroom.
He showed me the specific one to use and also showed me a weird looking plant telling me to scrub my body clean with it.
"Oh I forgot you are deaf and dumb" He mocked as he turns to using sign language to explain while I just watched him.
It will be devastating for him when he finds out that I am very well normal.
He finally left after the long explanation and restricted warnings.
Although their house is manageable in size, I would have to give it to them that they are very neat.
Their house has been clean ever since I came here including the bathroom which looks local but still very neat.
It is something I always look at in people.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Creation is hard!
