Allah's Sent:book 1☆(completed)

Chap 16:~life is hard

                -Your mind is both your saviour and your enemy

Fourty days later
Monday

Its been Ammamih's fourty Days
For everyone you will think is fourty but for me I saw it as years because everyday I tried to convince myself I wouldn't see her again

Aah left this morning,she said she can't stand to watch us starve so she went back to Kaduna,she has a farm there

Aunty Asiya made calls with Jamal severely
Sending us money ending of last month

Our school went on break two weeks after Ammamih died which I guess we will soon resume,I'm still on my grounds of not going to school

My brothers went back to university last few weeks but came back as soon as they finished examinations
Now we are all on break

Speaking of Aah,we grew closer with the little Hausa I learnt we communicate a little bit
And with her teaching me jarawa is a nice thing
I see her as someone Ammamih came from while she sees me as someone that came from Ammamih

"No food in the house"Salim annouced the moment i entered kitchen

"Why is it that?" Kamal asked with furrowed brows

"I cooked the last rice yesterday"Salim replied and we all sighed

"Inna lilahi wa inna ilaihi rajuun (from Allah we come and to him we shall)"Jamal said softly

"Up till now you haven't been paid the money?"Jamal asked Kamal
He edited a picture for a studio

"The guy is not even answering my calls"Kamal replied angrily

"But I think I found garri(cassava flakes) so we are going to just do kwado( salad)and eat for today.we are sorry Nailah"Salim said and they all turned to me

"It's life I will learn to survive,we all will
I'm sure Allah has a reason for all we are going though"i said smartly with a small smile

"You are too matured for a seventeen year old you know"Jamal said placing his arms around my shoulders

"Yeah I do"i admitted placing my head on his chest

Salim mixed the cassava flake with a little water and the left over oil
Then he puts some spice turning it till it was good for eating and then served Every one in their plates

We ate in silence before the call for Asr was called

I took the responsibility of washing the plates since I was not praying while they all left immediately

After I finished with the dishes,I left to my room

"May your soul rest in peace Ammamih and you too Abbubah"i whispered the moment i landed on my bed

Suddenly I received a text message from Halima

"Load the credit I need to tell everyone something important-0980345568889"

I sighed copying the number,it's been a month plus since I went online.

Come to think of something Dr Abba's number has not been going through,Salim thought they soon inform him about Ammamih's death
I hope he is okay,even though he broke my heart I still love him

My phone kept vibrating with diffrent messages coming in

Halima:Girls🤗,I am on my way to the  airport.Dad didn't inform us that we were travelling untill today even mum is not back
Make sure you all take care and send me a list of all you want in Dubai❤

Amira:Amazing,I will write the list right away💃

Firdaus:Perfumes!😁

Me:Safe trip,and thank you for the credit💚

Halima:Ameen I will be calling on WhatsApp now that's why I made sure you have data,bye🏃‍♀️

And she stopped typing,guess she is off

I decided to go through my insta messages

_your_well_wisher:hey!what did I say about sharing Everything with Me?😢

That was the last message out of the fourty messages he sent to me

Me:I am sorry🤧

I quickly apologised seeing how worried the person seemed

_your_well_wisher:you have been off for a month plus
Hope you are fine?😥

The person asked and decided to just tell him or her the truth

Me:I lost my mother I don't think I will ever feel fine😢😭

_your_well_wisher:inna lilahi wa inna ilaihi rajuun( from Allah we come and to him we shall return)
May Jannatul Firdaus be her final abode...Ameen😢😭
I have a confession 😥
I knew you before seeing you at the hospital 😑

I stared at the message speechless on what to say till my brain clicked

Me:Ameen💚
really?how?😲

_your_well_wisher:story for another day but one thing I promise praying for
Your mother will be added to my praying lists💯
But make sure you stay strong and avoid bad company even boyfriends of now adays are not to be trusted ❌

And that made me furious for a person I don't know

Me:so should I go date an ancestor then?😑
Thank you for wanting to pray for my Ammamih 💚
But I don't think my dating should be your business

I gave the person a piece of my mind

_your_well_wisher:may Allah increase your Sabr(patience)💯

And i suddenly felt bad at my rudeness

Me:Ameen💚
Good bye well wisher
I can't call you miss or mr since I don't know the gender🤔

I exited Instagram and I saw messages from Usama,Ahmad and an unknown number

Unknown:I heard what happened to your mother,may her soul rest in jannah...Ameen
My mango lady you are strong,
Continue being strong.wish I could be there for you😭

And that's when it clicked to me that is Munib
I saved his number and texted a reply before switching off my data and flinging my phone at my pillow side before I was stolen by a thief called sleep

Okay ladies and gents
That's the end of today's chapter till we meet again 💃
