Recap:

"This key signifies home. And you are my home" he said and made me wear the bracelet
"Always keep it with you"

"It's so beautiful. I promise"

"And I'm falling in love with you"

I didn't even wait for him to ask for a kiss. I just leaned in.

In case you're wondering what I wore......

Dear diary...

Diary diary. I know I haven't had time for you for three days. That is if I did the math correctly. Whatever! You should just not be mad at me because a lot has been happening.
Yeah yeah I know I'm supposed to share everything with you but I didn't have the time to do that. Now what's the use of this suspense? And why do I always talk to you as if you can actually hear me? The answer to that question is I DUNNO. I have to go to Hafsat's house

Okay. Bye!

******
After I told my friends about my relationship with Aminu and blah blah, I didn't hear much from Hafsat -none of my friends did. We found it weird you know. Like normal Hafsat CANNOT stay away from her phone for 30seconds. So Mufeeds suggested that we should go to her house to check on her. Beginning of wahala.

We went. And we saw her. Not in a good state. "Hafsat what is wrong with you?" I asked ohh. But Hafsat did not answer me. I asked again but the girl did not answer. When I asked the third time was when she decided to answer. I just wonder who she was forming for. Don't tell her I said that. Me Hauwa Ahmed that went for that girl's suna- naming ceremony. I just love blabbing.

"I just hate that woman" was what she said. I didn't need to ask who 'that woman' was because I just happened to know who she was referring to. You see there's this one thing that we both (Hafsat and I) have in common -our grandmothers hate us!  SUPERRRB

Why does Hafsat's grandma hate her? Because Hafsat is dark skinned and all her siblings and cousins are light skinned. I know you'll agree with me that that's a very very stupid reason.
A stupid reason to hate someone that much.

Why does my own grandma hate me? Because Maama grew up abroad and Daddy met her when he went to do his masters in Australia then they fell in love and got married there. Daddy told kaaka(grandma) who was not so happy about the marriage because 1. Maama didn't grow up in Nigeria 2. Kaaka prefers auren dangi- marriage amongst relatives so she can control the wives of her sons. Then Kaaka wanted me to study a professional course but I chose interior design and decorations instead. So she hates me. I just hope she knows that the feeling is mutual. I hate her too. Thank God Hafsat hates her kaaka too (I hope so). Then another fun fact is our grandmothers both hate each other. We don't know the story behind the hate but if we consider the fact that I like trouble, this is too much fun. Kick!

But we're not here to talk about haters right? Lemme carry on with my story. So when Hafsat said she hates her Kaaka I said "yeah I know. You've been saying that for Allah knows how long and you haven't exactly done anything to show her you hate her"
