"I care" they'd say forgetting that we watch their actions
"Oh hey I didn't see you there" I said, walking towards him
"You dropped your phone AGAIN, second time today" he said handing it to me
"Thank you, I don't know what's wrong with me today" I said collecting my phone
"Mention not and ohh I already saved my contact just so you know" he said winking.
I strolled through my contacts and couldn't find his"I can't find your contact, what do you save it with?" I asked still strolling through
"Guessy guessy" he said with a wide grin
"I'm not good at guessing" I said pouting
"Heart desire" he said with a wink
"What?!? You've got to be kidding me, Kabeer I barely even know you" I said in astonishment
"Oh come on, you don't have to know me with time you would, what about couples that gets married without even knowing what their partners look like" he said blushing. This guy is something else
"That's not possible, doesn't happen"
"What about auren dole (forced marriage)?" He asked
"This is the 21st century,it doesn't exist anymore"
"It still does, heard a lot of stories"
"Maybe it's the reason behind a lot of divorcées today"
"Most of there marriages do work out, a Nigeria fah muke (we're in Nigeria)"
"It doesn't matter, I don't believe in such. It's getting late I should hit the road" I said pointing towards the direction of my house
"Yeah sure you should, do you mind me walking you?" He asked looking away. I was just there staring at his cuteness but then I snapped out of it when I heard him cough
"Oh no need for that I'd be fine, thanks for everything" I responded with a smile
"I guess this is a good bye but for only today and do mind the phone I wouldn't be there to save it this time" he said laughing
"It's in safe hands, thank you. My regards to Beelarh and the rest" I said walking away only after returning his wave. On getting home, I freshened up said my prayers and cooked noodles, I can never get tired of eating it, I switched on the TV and was getting ready for a nice evening, I then thought we were advised not to eat in front of the television because it was said you'd eat more, more food, more calories and yeah more fat, oh well who cares about that. I shook off the thoughts and Jennifer's diary came on screen making me squeak in excitement but I was home alone, I'd not have the good laugh I have when they're around I thought, I actually miss them like a lot, I'd call them tomorrow. My whole evening was filled with laughter, Jennifer would not kill me, I thought to myself and then my phone began to ring, looking at the screen I saw heart desire, can someone tell me why I haven't changed his name yet and again I was talking to myself
"Assalamu alaykum (peace be upon you)!" I said answering his call
"Ameen wa'alayki salam, hmm irin wannan salama fah? Sai kace wata ustaziyyah (peace be upon you too, you out here acting all saint)" he said laughing
"Baka sani ba kenan, ai ni ustaziyyah ce (of course I am a saint, you just don't know so)"
"Ke din? Na fah sanki (Who's the saint? You? I know you tho)" he said laughing again
"How?"
"Wasa nakeyi ni ban sanki ba, yau ma muka fara haduwa (just kidding, we just met)" he said now serious
"I know you were only joking" I said laughing now
"Ni dai ki daina mun turancin nan (would you please stop speaking English?)"
"Nikam ban iya Hausa ba (I don't know how to speak Hausa either)" I said with a laugh
"Yazaki ce baki iya ba bayan gashi nan kinayi (why would you say you can't speak and you're right here speaking)"
"Nidai ban iya ba. Ya! Ina beelarh? (I still can't speak no arguments, Wassup! Where's beelarh?)" I asked
"She's there finishing the food of house"
"Aah haba dai! (Seriously!) Beelarh doesn't look like the type" I said immediately defending her
"I wonder what kind of sorcery she does, she eats a lot especially junks yet she has never exercised but yet she's skinny" he said. And I was thinking I'd like to know such kind of sorcery too, I'd really like to be her kind of skinny
"She's one lucky girl I'd ever know"
"Gashi nan bata iya girki ba (She's also a bad Cook)"
"Kabeeeer! Stop already, why are talking about her? I never knew men gossips too. Besides I'm pretty sure she's still learning"
"She just got me thinking 9years is too much to still be a learner, she's 19 now and she's got to learn, you know because of her husband" he said that with a chuckle
"She could still make it before then, can't men help in the kitchen?" I asked
"Of course we do, my wife would be one lucky woman in the universe, I'm a good cook or should I say a great one" he said and I'm pretty sure he was blushing
"Yeah right, why don't teach Beelarh then?" I asked
"I just can't, she thinks she's Queen bee ever since nicknamed Beelarh, ta raina ni wallahy (she disrespects me a lot)"
"She's still your sister, what if your wife can't cook?" I asked curiously
"Impossible, I'd mock her for the rest of our marriage, I mean come on, she's no match with me in the kitchen, fine boy kamar ni kuma bata iya girki ba (a handsome dude like me and she can't cook) and my love for food is incomparable" he said laughing
"So much bragging, all I hear is blablabla"
"Like seriously you know I'm good looking, no lies" he said soothingly
"Yeah yeah whatever, what if that wife of yours is me?"
"Of course I'd treat you like the queen you are, I'd glady teach you"
"It's late, gotta crash" I said rubbing my eyes
"Alright dear, sweet dreams, sleep tight and you know what to do, dream of me"
"Seriously now? I'd have a nightmare if I actually do"
"Ouch! That hurts my soul. Anyways, good night my Barbie"
"Fat barbie you mean"
"Don't disrespect yourself like that" he said that aloud and I could hear the anger in his voice
"Hmm okay fine, thank you? Good night" and with that I drift off to dreamland
