Countdown to my 18th birthday

Chapter 11- 12 days to go

August 14 2016

Dear diary...
I know I haven't been telling you what's up with me and Aminu but guess what!!! He took me as his date to a party. It was actually a birthday party. I don't even know why I was excited. Dearest diary I really wish you were a human being. We'll be such good friends **squeals** I'll do the talking and you'll do the listening and nodding. It'll be so cool! Bye for now diary... Sorry. I don't really have time for you these days but I have to sleep. Don't be 💔. I'll make it up to you soon. Actually I'm sad right now. Gotta go

Good night!

So Aminu called me this morning to tell me he wanted to take me to a party. I was wondering what kind of party he meant then he said it was just the birthday party of a friend or relative. I dunno. After like 3 hours of wearing something and deciding it wasn't fit for the occasion, I finally decided to wear a purple long sleeve gown with purple beads and a beige scarf. That was what I tried on first. Story of my life

Aminu came to pick me up around 1:30 pm just after zuhr. Not like I prayed the zuhr ohh. What? I'm off... Duhh! Ehen back to the gist. As usual it was only me and our maid Nafisa at home so I called her to come and lock the door because I was going out. By the way...... I think I'm going to spend the rest of this month home alone. I'm growing up. Yay!

We got to blu cabana and everything was wow! It was actually my second time there. First time I went there was when FEBOGA had their 25th anniversary. By FEBOGA I mean Federal Bauchi Old Girl's Association of FGGC (federal government girls' college Bauchi) and that was Last month. Don't think I graduated in 1995. Lool. It was Maama's reunion not mine. I hope we are clear.

Wow. This guy must be really rich. I thought after carefully examining the whole place. Everything there screamed MONEY! Okay not everything. I'm just exaggerating. But seriously most of the things I saw there were MONEY MONEY and MONEY. I just had to drag Aminu to one corner. I couldn't help it. "In this Buharecession??" I asked but he just laughed and said "the birthday boy is a spoilt brat". Then it all made sense. All those kids that will be throwing tantrums and doing stupid things if they don't get what they want. I'm setting y'all. Just wait till I become the president. I will be worse than Buhari. Heh. Just kidding. I don't even want to go into politics. But when you think of it... The first female Nigerian president is not a bad title oh. Maybe I'll add it to my to do list when I'm older or even write a book about it. Whadya think? I think I'll get a new diary of journal to write about my journey to presidency/villa

Back to the party gist. After our little gossip. Little gossip with my boyfriend. So romantic!
Aminu went to introduce me to the birthday boy whose name is Kamal.

"Birthday boy ... Meet Hauwa" Aminu said to the birthday boy then he turned to me and said "Hauwa meet the birthday boy"

"Nice to meet you birthday boy. And happy birthday" I knew his name is Kamal but I just called him birthday boy because..... Because I like trouble

"So cousin Aminu this is my future sister in law huh..." Kamal winked at Aminu and in return he got a cute glare from Aminu. And since when did glaring become cute? Anyways. Kamal turned to me and said "nice to meet you future sis in law" I hope he didn't see me blushing behind my melanin "nice to meet you too. Thank you so much for coming. I've heard a lot about you and for the first time.... I agree with my cousin's choice"

"I'm really glad to hear that. Good or....."

"I have to introduce you to some friends. Let's go" Aminu interrupted

"Alright. Enjoy!" Kamal sighed and left

"He seems nice. But he doesn't look like a spoilt brat" I said turning to Aminu

"And when did I say spoilt brats are not nice?" Aminu said and wrapping his arms round my waist. And dragging me closer to him

"You're a bad boy"

"How? What did I do?" He frowned. So cute

"You want to kiss me. And there are 10000000000 people here"

"You  can so exaggerate" he chuckled "and I was just teasing you. I wasn't going to kiss you. Unless you want me to" he said with a wink. I was about to reply when a group of stupid idiotic girls who wore what I would call skimpy clothes interrupted.

"Meenu. Oh Meenu is this you?" One said and he frowned. Meenu. What a nice nickname

"Aminu. Dear Aminu. You've changed. You're much more handsome now" one of them said

"Aminu can I touch your face?" another gushed. Nonsense

"Aminu you stopped picking my calls. Why?" Another said in a fake sad tone

"Aminu dear. I still love you. Let's get back together" the one that said this had to be his ex. I don't know her name though.

Aminu this... Aminu that... They went on. At a point I started pitying him because I was imagining the condition he was in at that moment. Then they dragged him like he was a piece of trash and I was left all alone. I waited and waited and waited for Aminu to come well I only waited for like an hour. Then I decided to check on him. When I finally found him, I saw him saying something to a girl. Something that made her smile and then kiss him on the cheek. And that's when he saw me. He quickly pushed the girl and walked over to where I was standing with a frown on my face of course

"Explain what I just saw"

"It's not what you think. I swear"

"And what am I thinking? How could you Aminu? Did you bring me to your friend's ex girlfriend's friend's friend's friend who just so happens to be your cousin's party just to leave me and tell girls stuff that will make them laugh and kiss you on the cheek?"

"Why couldn't you just say cousin?"

"Because I wanted to sound dramatic. Duhh. But that's not the point. The point here is I saw you flirting with a girl. Why Aminu? Why?"

"Hauwa wallahi it's not what you think. Yes I said something that made her smile but I honestly didn't see the kiss coming. I can't do that to you Hauwa. Please...." He held my hand

"Don't touch me. I'm leaving this place"

So I left the beautiful blu cabana and was expecting Aminu to come after me but he didn't. He didn't call. He didn't text. But when I checked his snapchat story an hour ago he was at Harrow park. Partying. And chilling. He's still there. When I'm here dying. He's an idiot. Nothing but an idiot. I never wanted our relationship to be like a typical telenovela relationship. But I guess I thought wrong. Aminu why??

Why do I feel so deceived?
Guess I believed what I wanted to believe
It's perfect in my dreams
But nothing's really what it seems
