Behind that attitude.

Chapter 9

Farouk's POV

The long awaited day is finally coming. And tomorrow God willing, am going to graduate. I could finally be addressed as a Doctor! Am happy.
I've been planning for the past few days; I have a speech to deliver, i have to look presentable.

I went over my speech a couple of times before finally deciding to sleep. Am sad tho, Maama couldn't make it to my graduation. She have to take care of My dad (Mai martaba) Zayed and The twins arrived yesterday night, they were the only ones that could make it, everyone is busy. Zayed and the twins would be leaving the day after next. I will follow later. I have to rest, before facing 9ja.

The twins went out a while ago, and zayed, i don't know, probably asleep.

D next day
Amna
"Haleemah, can u please remember where i kept that pink ring we bought yesterday? I can't find it, and we are running late."

"Nah" she replied nonchalantly applying her lipstick.

"Ah it's here!" I exclaimed as I finally found d beautiful ring! I love rings. I couldn't stop my self from buying it when we were at the mall yesterday. Yup we went for shopping since we will be going on a vacation in not less than 3weeks. That's after our exams. Can't wait to go back home.

So currently, we are headed to a graduation party of a friend of mine, Mufeedah. Her mom is Umma's(my mom) friend. She had called yesterday to remind me that her grad will commence today.

Am dressed in a simple floral peach colored gown. My Hijaab is a royal blue color. I applied Mascara and a dab of lip stick. I look, presentable.

There, we sat at a table together with Haleemah, after congratulating Mufeeda, which we happen to meet at the entrance. Everything is going on simultaneously, i was busy checking out people's Snaps on snap chat, occasionally, I look up to see what's happening around.

It was then announced that the graduates are coming up to deliver a speech one after the other, expressing there happiness.

The audience applaud after every graduate is done with his/has, and the MC will call the next person.
"Umar Ahmad Saraki" was the next person to deliver.
I never bothered to look up, at times I easily get bored at some occasions i just want to go home.

There is this serene, authoritative and calm voice that was heard in the speaker, I raised my head only to be left shocked by the figure standing right in front of everyone. He's the one. Farouk. Umar farouk! He looks presentable in his expensive looking suit. I quickly pressed the camera on my phone and recorded him as he talks. Gush! So much
Asheesh!!
everyone applauded as he concluded his speech, which if am to be asked, wouldn't be able to state a word out of it, cos i was busy ogling at the articulator.

Farouk

"Yaa Farouk" someone is knocking at my door. Probably one of the twins.

"Yes come in" i uttered with a muffled sleepy voice, as my head is buried under two pillows, not minding to open my eyes or even move an inch.
"Ya farouk wake up"
"Seriously Husnah! Wasn't it a few minutes ago i went to bed? What do u want for goodness sake!" I whined.

"Few minutes?" She laughed! "It is noon already! And we will be leaving @ 2:00" She shrieked yanking my curtains open! Yup, the rays of light reached me under my pillow!

Now i have to get up!
Man i deserve one year of sleep after this hectic study! Ya Rabb! I haven't even prayed! I jolted off and hurried to the bathroom, muttering astaghfirullah.

I came down to find them dressed up, zayed was on the phone. "Ya farouk we should have breakfast before leaving" Haseena said as she made her way to the dining area. Zayed ended the call and joined us on the table. It was a happy breakfast. We chatted and made fun of one another. I love my family.
