shamsiya's pov
it was bright and cold I left my window open the night before , the cold dusty dry weather was getting to much I decided to get up from bed it was 8:30am , which is ironically early for a Sunday morning. I decided to get ready for the day . while dressing up I am confronted by the pendant leo gave me I felt a little disturbed , I felt like life was knocking on my chest . I then thought to myself am I being cruel and unusual or am I being childish and un realistic . I just musadiq and he has already made me to shun leo but maybe , maybe I do need some space musadiq is just the best infact am gonna text him so we can hang out . I grab my phone and text musadiq to meet me at tutti frutti , replied with a big yes wow that was fast . I grabbed my bag made sure I had money and my cards with me ,then I made my way to tutti frutti.

morning sunshine I woke quite early for a Sunday , I made my way to he kitchen where I see my mother fixing breakfast . I love my mum so much although she was devastated when we moved to NIGERIA she still manages to wake up early to fix breakfast for me my sister and my father . ugh speaking of my sister , her name is ummul-khulthum she wanted to stay in the uk but dad insisted she spent her first university life in NIGERIA which she has not been happy about she is meant to be a boarder but she comes home every now and then , which is really annoying . she doesn't even help my mom anymore she acts like a complete spoilt brat . I don't get why ummu acts that way. I take a seat on the dining and greet my mother as she serves my breakfast , ummu walks in the room and takes a seat . ummu stares at mom the whole time and she doesn't say a word . mom is about to walk out then ummu says uh mom you haven't served me breakfast yet . then mom says ummul-khulthum have you greeted me this morning . ummu says oh sorry mom salam alaikum may I have my breakfast now . mom sighs and says yes you may. mom serves ummu and storms back into the kitchen. I wanted to talk to ummu about her recent behaviour then suddenly I heard a beep from my phone , it was shamsiya she said I should meet her at tutti frutti . I immediately replied and began to rush my breakfast , I rush the water and take my dishes to the kitchen. I asked my mom if I could go to tutti frutti she said ok as long as I am back in time for lunch. I promised that I would come back on time , she then opens her wallet and gave me some money and a card with my name printed on it . I hugged my mom and said thank you . she then said she would text me my pin . I went upstairs grabbed my stuff and went to tutti frutti to see shamsiya.
