Maryuda's P.O.V
I walked out of the bathroom wrapped in my bathrobe,and sat on my dresser,i oiled my skin and dressed in an Ash Sweat pant and shirt.
the weather is cold today,what am i even saying?it's the month of December,so the weather is bound to be cold.
My phone flashed as it vibrated,It's Hauwa,it has to be her seff,nobody calls so early except her.i picked on the third ring and placed the phone on my left ear."Amimah why are you just picking up my call? wait let me guess your phone was on vibration abi?wai what is wrong with you?you are the first person I know who always puts her phone on vibration mode and claims that her ringtone irritates her.okay change the ringtone so that when someone calls you'll know,you said no. wai menene damuwar ki?(what's your problem)".
Uhumm I cleared my voice after hearing her turn mute all of a sudden."are you done beating your drum and dancing?now why did you call so early?"
"I wasn't beating drum and dancing I was just talking some senses into your head".
"Madam you said you're coming today that is why I called to confirm let me know,if you're not coming again so I'll go fix something for myself and manage,and if you're coming let me just go and relax,so you'll come and make something for us".
I laughed hard and sat on the floor,"as your personal cook that I am abi? If you know what is good for you just go into that kitchen and make something to save your life,and your punishment for sounding so stupid this morning,you'll have to prepare breakfast for two, because I'm not planning to have breakfast from home,you'll be feeding me today.you can't afford to keep your guest hungry right?"
"Yenyenyenyen see your mouth",she interrupted."who's the guest, because I can't see one? madam I take it as you'll be coming over to prepare breakfast for you and i,so if you let me I might as well hang this call up,to go and get the kitchen ready,for the biggest chef herself,is gracing the kitchen with her presence".
And she hung up immediately.
Hey God Hauwa has suddenly turned into a joker,it's me that would come and make breakfast for her abi?when she knows i usually do not have anything to do with kitchens,no matter how beautiful it is.
Hunger is gonna wanna show her pepper today. I thought to myself,let me just go and help myself with those fries that Asiya made, because if I go to Hauwa on an empty stomach,I might as well be signing my death warrant,that girl will never cook.
I think that's why we both fell in love with each other at first sight when we went for our interviews into secondary school,because there's this feeling when you meet someone that's exactly like you.I strolled down the stairs to the dinning,but nobody was there it seems they all got tired of waiting for me and had their breakfast.
But one thing I'm sure of right now is,I'm going to receive an earful from Mom for eating late. Does she ever lack anything to give someone an earful about?no.
I walked back to my room wore my Ash coloured Jilbab. Today it's all about Ash colour,I twirled before the mirror and swiped my lip gloss on my lips, picked up my phone,car keys,and purse and left to Mom and Dad's room,been satisfied with my looks."Assalamu Alaikum",I salamed before entering mom and dad's room. Wa alaikum Salam they both chorused.i greeted them but I could see the look mom was giving me.
"Tell me you just had breakfast?"she looked at me sternly telling me to lie if I have the guts to.
"Mom i promise I didn't wake up late I've been up,I was just doing a little sanitation in my room".
Lies.
"You haven't answered my question young lady,I said did you just have your breakfast?"
"Yes Mom I just did,but I promise I woke up early to..."
"If it's not guilty conscience that is eating you,then what is ?I just asked a simple question,and you've gone ahead to give me a passage in place of an answer. what did I tell you about eating late?"
"You said it makes someone grow dull,but mom I'm not a child,I'm a smart young lady, besides I'm already grown up".
She crossed her legs one on the other.
"That's your problem,but the next time you come down for Breakfast by this time,will be your last breakfast"
"My last breakfast alive or in this house".
At this point dad who has been looking at the both of us,as if watching a TV show,burst into a fit of laughter, while mom removed her shoe and threw it at me.
"Wallahi na kusa in koya miki hankali a gidan nan.(I'll soon teach you a lesson in this house)".
I ran out from the room not before telling them that I'm leaving to Hauwa's place.
I immediately remembered the main purpose for going to Mom and Dad's room,but one thing is sure,mom will definitely have my head for lunch the moment I step back into that room,and that was how I gave up on going to spray mom's perfume and zoomed off to where I was going.
"Peace be unto this house"
I shouted the moment I entered Hauwa's room.
"Hauwa why are you like this Dan Allah (for God's sake)I thought we just spoke over the phone,and now what are you doing sprawled on the bed like a snail?"
"Isn't it obvious, please don't come and stress me here,I'm very sleepy right now, just find your way to the kitchen and don't be noisy please".
I spanked her on her buttocks and ran out of the room, while she ran after me,I mean it's only us in the house both her parents are out of the country and being the only child she's alone at home.so there's no fear of disturbing anybody.Assalamu Alaikum everyone,how's the book? I'll need your commentsto get my answers.
