Leila's POV

"Leila wallahi if u don't wake up this instant u will regret it" i heard my mom's voice

I quickly woke up in a flash of an eye "mom I'm awake"
"This is not your habit,how come you're late today,you're going to be late for your lectures if you don't get ready on time,come out and eat your breakfast ok?"

"Alright mom I'm coming" I cried out.
I quickly freshened up and wore a lemon green abaya,rolled with a black jersey veil with black sneakers. I came out of my room and sat on the dining table with Abdallah my senior brother,together with hannah and rukayyah my two sisters.

I quickly gulped down my favorite green tea and bread then stood up from my seat and carried my bag which was next to me. "Mom I'll be on my way."
"Alright dear but be careful while trekking please,i know you'll want to trek to get things off your head" my mom said with a smile.
I smiled "yes mom i thought of trekkingh today,and anyways it's not that far you know"
"You're right, you should be on your way now" my mom said.
I was on my way and i heard my phone ringing "leila where the heck are you?"my best friend Noor called.
"Masoyiya ina hanya ganinan."
"Please kiyi sauri kinji it's almost time for lectures."
"Naji I'm coming." I added.

Hey, I'm leila luqman,I'm a 23 year-old and a final year student of university of abuja {gwagwalada}studying fashion and designing,with a passion of being an interior and fashion designer.I love purple,reading the Quran and also glasses. I'm originally from adamawa,but I've been living in abuja (kuje)for almost 15 years. In my free time, i enjoy sketching different kinds of fashion design, i love purple so much,it's literally my obsession.
I live in a small building with my parents and siblings,we find it very hard to put something in our mouths. I experienced traumatic and emotional problems almost 6 years ago. I would never forget what I've been through, and all those thoughts keeps on bothering me, i found it very hard to heal those wounds in my heart.

I was just in time for my lectures and my bestie,Noor waved at me. The lectures went on for about two hours about creative arts and learning about pattern making,garments and so on. I jotted down some key words right after our lecturer finished explaining.
After lectures was over, i came out of the class and went ahead to find a place to rest,i saw a bench ahead and went there to sit. So many thoughts and memories kept coming back to me. " Assalam alaikum bestie" Noor caught my attention right in the middle of my thoughts. "So you still won't tell me   why you're always drowning in that thoughts of yours,I'm your best friend for Gods sake,tell me what is it that's always making you think."Noor added.

"You'll soon know in sha Allah when the time is right be patient bestie,i promise I'll tell you." I told her with a whisper of a smile.
"Thom shikenan masoyiya ta, I'll be waiting. Amma please i don't want you to keep thinking of your past,sai kinje depression ya kama ki,if you don't want that you have to stop." Noor inclined.
"Karki damu I'll stop in sha Allah" i added with hidden tears wanting to fall out from my eyes.

"Oya come let's go and have something to eat,a new snack bar opened last week,lets go and try it." Noor said while pulling me up from the bench i was sitting on.
Noor bought two meat pies and two packs of chicken nuggets. Obviously, she knows i don't have any lunch money,so she bought it for me.
We went back to where we were sitting earlier and had our snack there.

"In baki labari,do you know that guy we did that garment construction with last month halifa?" Noor said almost mouth full with meat pie stuffed in her mouth. "Yes i remember,what about him." I said.
"He confessed his love to me today!!!" Noor said very excited as if she's been given a free car.

"Omg!,are you serious,I'm so happy for you,wait,when did you even start talking har yayi confessing?omg! I've been betrayed, when did you guys even start to talk to the extent that he confessed to you! And i didn't even know one bit." I said with a frowned face.
"Noooo i wanted to tell you buh something distracted me and i forgot to tell you that we've been dating and i thought I've already told you, I'm sorry my bestie pleaseee " Noor said with a pampered smile
"Alright alright,i don't know why buh i can't resist this cute face of yours." I said shunning my mouth at her.

"Isn't he just so dreamy." Noor said folding her two hands together with a smile I've never seen her with.

"Are you sure you aren't the one dreaming,cause it sure looks like it." I said.
"Is someone jealous" Noor said while tickling her and giving her a teasing look.

"Why would i be jealous,kamar banda aikin yi" i said while rolling my eyes.

"Ke mesa kike haka ne leila,why won't you date anyone,your beautiful with the most amazing chocolate complexion any girl would have,you have everything but har yanzu kinki kula kowa."Noor complained
"I don't have time for that,I'm focusing on my studies, I'm going to work hard so that I'll make my parents proud and make them bury what has happened in the past." I told her.

"Alright then as you say. It's already getting late we should be on our way." Noor added.
