You are the love of my Life ......

Nailah's pov
want to know about my life?its simple
*My Ammamih:
My Ammamih is my mother,she is the strongest,bravest and sweetest of them all.ever since I lost my Father at the age of five she has always been my father plus my mother.
Yes I call my mother Ammamih is a long name I know but it is all because of the twins one wanted to call her Amma d other one ammih but then their arguments couldn't stop so they merge it with d help of my parents
And I grew up getting use to it. Mom mother or mummy sounds strange in my mouth.
She works 24/7 to see us happy,most especially when our father's family abandoned us.
Shes my best friend and closest to me.she is into catering

*The twins:kamal and Jamal,are the first borns of the family.they are in level four of their studies in Abubakar tafabalewa university in Bauchi state our hometown.
Jamal was the first before kamal ,they are fraternal twins and exact opposites.
Jamal is the type that I call loverboy or playboy I don't know because he likes too much girls.
Kamal is the type that loves sports and music.he pays more attention to that,he sings too and he is the lazy one out of the four us.

*Salim :
Salim is the third born,he is in his first level of studies in Abubakar tafabalewa university also.he is the type of mommy's boy I mean he is into doing activities with Ammamih even in kitchen.he loves house chores,we sometimes tease him by calling him Salima.

Enough of family lets move to friends,lets see they are just three and we have our little sqaud

*Halima:I met her in secondary school,I realized she was worth being a friend.she is really kind,she is crazy and very social but then what would I do without her?
She is engaged to Bilyamin,at first she didn't like him but later she started.now she is waiting for him to finish his studies,get a job then she will marry him.we cant wait also

*Amira :I met her in secondary school too,shes been quiet one of all of us but I hang out with her much.shes the angel and im d devil,she also save me from troubles,that's what I like about her but then she got a crush on Salim.

*Firdaus:she is the model type and she talks less,she got boys after her but she is waiting for her prince charming.she loves fashion and she is very creative I tell you
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Me and my friends are thesame age except different months.
Enough of descriptions.
*******************************************
Friday

I feel someone shaking me to wake up
"Wake up,time for Fajr"Ammamih's voice said

"Ammamih,let me get more sleep"I complained

"Nailah!wake up.if I come back from the kitchen you would not find it funny"she said and I heard her footsteps indicating she is gone.
I quickly got up and left to my bathroom,prayed Fajr then took my bath and got dressed
After that I ran to the dinning room

"The yar Auta(last born in Hausa language)is finally here"said Salim with fake enthusiasm

"Whatever mommy's boy"I said as I took my sit

"Dont talk to your brother like that"Ammamih said as she puts a plate of breakfast in front of me.

"Ammamih!I need five masa and more sugar"I complained

"Eat this one first"she replied
After I finished with my breakfast.
"We will soon start exams and everything will be alright"I said to Ammamih

"I know you can do it teeyoh na(she calls me that,I never asked the meaning because im sure its a form of her endearment)"she said patting my head

"Im off to school"I said as I grabbed my handbag

"Allah ya kareh(may Allah protect you)she said
And I walked out of the home to school bus stop ,my school is not that far from our
home .the bus arrived and I hurriedly went in

"Miss Amir"Tyler,our school bus driver called,he is very nice and funny

"Hello mr Tyler "I greeted him with a smile then I heard a voice calling my name,I turn around to find Halima.

"Whats the princess doing here today?"I teased as I sat next to her

"I didn't want to be late,my annoying siblings were wasting my time.you know I have make-up test "she said

"Oh"I said my mouth shaping into an "o"

"So,its fourth of this month"She said and I puzzled but then I remembered something!!!
My birthday was coming soon

"Yeah,im so happy"I replied and we kept on gisting and gisting till we reached the school.

"Nightmare begins!"Halima said angrily

"What can one do?im telling you Halima lets drop out and muyi Aure (get married in hausa)my bad I got no groom"I said and she chuckled

"We have Raheem that likes looking at you or Naeem that cant do without you and .........."she said listing the boys in our class I quickly put my hands on her mouth.my classmates were like brothers to me,so there is no way she is putting that imagination in my head.she quickly bit my palm and ran away.
*******

We are now in class and I was feeling really bored,Halima was busy designing something in her book.I look back to find the gossip mongers of our class,sawsan and Nazira.

"Miss Amir!"my chemistry teacher called for my attention

"Yes,mr Adam"I answered

"Which compound and element would sublime on exposure to the atmosphere?"he asked,I turn to find all eyes on me

"We did it in Ss one miss Amir"he said

"Well,I got alot of answers in my brain but then I cant say the wrong one but then I think...........Iodine?"I replied feeling nervous

"Are you asking me?"he asked folding his arms

"No its Iodine im sure"I replied

"Well,impressive its correct but next time be more serious in my class"he said and I nodded
He got back to coping the note for us on the white board.
The time just went by and its time for closing as its friday,we close twelve-thirty pm
I came back home to find Ammamih in the kitchen making lots of masa.
"Hello!you look tired"I said after studying her

"I am but unfortunately my one and only daughter cant cook"she said

"Ammamih!I can cook"I complained getting a grip of the fridge handle.

"Oh really?"she said turning the masa
"Maman Usman ordered so I have alot to fry"she said and she mistakenly burnt herself with the kasko(the plate for frying Masa)

"Ammamih!take care of yourself"I complained,I quickly took her hand and put cold water on it.
"You know my love for you"I said

"I know my Nailah but I have to do this if I dont money wont come falling from the sky"she said sadly
I looked at her and deep down my heart was breaking down down...............................................she was right we were on our own
