Finding strength in pain.......
Wednesday
I smiled today I'm going to be done with trial exams
I didn't sleep through out yesterday
Ok ....I slept around three am
After Isha prayers yesterday
I went on whatsapp
I replied to Friends'wishes
Thanked all of them including Usama
Ahmad also wished me
I'm surprised he remembered then I went offline and I started studying physics
It's one of the second subject after maths that I disliked.
"Bye everyone"I called as I rushed to the school bus.
"After today,then break"Halima said
"Yes"I agreed excitedly
"I'm going to miss seeing your silly face"I added pinching her cheeks
"Shut up idiot"she retorted
We arrived at school and greeted our Agricultural science teacher while he smiled proudly.
After the exams,Halima and I left to the bus waving good bye to Amira and Firdaus.
"I have something to tell you"Halima said sadly
"What's it?"I asked worriedly
"My grandmother is against my engagement to Bilyamin"she said
"That's bad news"I said rubbing her arm
"I know"she sobbed
"Just keep praying I'm sure she will come around"I assured
"I hope so Nailah"she said hope fully
I made a goofy face and she started laughing.
I arrived at home and met the biggest surprise of the year.
"Aah?"I asked
Yeah I saw Ammamih and her mother in the living room gisting in our language(jarawa)
Well me and my siblings can't really speak it but we do hear it.
For some reasons we grew up hearing our Ammamih calling her mom that Maybe it means mother.
"As salamu alaikum"I greeted
"Wa alaikumus salam"Ammamih and Aah replied
I gave my grandmother a hug and she chuckled then she kissed my cheeks mildly.
"My granddaughter too bad you don't know how to speak Hausa or jarawa and your mother is the cause"Aah said in Jarawa
"You know how busy we were and their father wanted his children to know the universal language"Ammamih replied in Jarawa
Is true Ammamih and Abbubah(father)never taught us how to speak jarawa maybe it was their love language.
I chuckled and Ammamih and Aah turned to me
I shrugged and they smiled.
I just normally smile or hug my grandmother if mother is not around to be our translator.
Enough is enough,I picked my phone and texted my friends in the group
"Girls!!!friendship alert I have to learn hausa.it's time you teach me😢"
"Finally😇"Amira texted
"Say it politely😈"Firdaus texted
"How much are you paying?😤"Halima texted
"Yes👍😊"I texted Amira
"Kiss my foot 💅"I texted Firdaus
"Your dowry💶"I texted Halima
I giggled and Ammamih looked at me"is that your boyfriend you are talking to?"she asked in jarawa
"Ammamih,I don't have one"I replied in English
"You are old enough"Aah said in jarawa
"Where are those silly brothers?"I asked looking around
"Kamal is sleeping,Jamal went out so did Salim"Ammamih replied
"Okay.I will go get some rest"I said walking way
I took my bath and dozzed off.
Few minutes later I heard noises downstairs.
I got to the living room and find Ammamih giving Kamal money.
"Ammamih I'm not trying to be nosey but where did you get such amount of money?"I inquired
"I sold a house in Kaduna"she said softly
"Why?that was where you and Abbubah stayed when you newly married"I said sadly
"I had to pay your school fees dear"she reminded
"Besides memories are in the heart"Aah said in Jarawa
"Then remove me from that school take me to a cheaper school"I said angrily
"You are in your final year stop being foolish"Salim said
"Don't worry"kamal assured patting my back
"Don't mind them"Jamal said smiling
The door bell rang
Jamal got up to get it
Few minutes later he arrives with a lady,very tall,dark in complexion,not too slim and dressed in a simple way.she was beautiful in her own way.
"Ammamih,everyone meet the love of my life
Hannah Robert"Jamal announced
There was a silent moment until Ammamih spoke
"What religion do you practice ?"she asked
"Ammamih"Jamal called
"I'm a christian"Hannah replied
"No wonder you didn't cover your hair anyways come in"Ammamih said softly
Aah glared at Hannah
She then looked at me and I shrugged
"I don't like her"Aah said in a language only we understood
"Another bad news"I whispered
The day went on
We prayed took our dinner
Hannah insisted to clean the table so nobody stopped her and also she washed the dishes
Cleaned the kitchen
Then she left
Ammamih liked her
I also did
But Aah and her other two grandsons didn't .
