It hurts every day,the absence of someone who was once there.

Tuesday

"Wake up wake up!Mama is calling you"i heard Amra and Amar called loudly jumping on the bed and i groaned

I used to wish I had younger ones but now I am re thinking that wish

I sat up and they ran

"Amra and Amar if I catch you in our room ennn!" Halima threatened angrily

I laughed at Halima's angry expression as I left to meet Mama

Yeah,I call her mama.that woman deserves it
It's been three months since I have moved to their house
Everyone knows me as her daughter
I wrote my jamb,waec and neco in the house

And hopefully we are waiting for good results

During my stay in Halima's house
Mama has done everything for us together
And if she sees me quiet she makes sure I was back to my normal state

I found a second mother in her

"Mama"i called entering her room and she sat up

"Halima said you have headache?"she asked the moment i sat at the edge of the bed

"Yes"i replied softly

"Did you plait your hair?"she asked and it clicked to me
This is why i feel headache
If I don't plait my hair a day after  I loose my hair
I get frequent headaches
And it warmed my heart that she remembers

"No,the salon woman was not around"i replied smiling

"That's why,come sit let me plait it you"she said getting up to carry hair oil and the rest of things needed then she sat at the edge

I smiled sitting on the carpet infront of her

"Any news about the results?"she asked removing my ribbon

"Not yet,till next month but they said Jamb is out but we are afraid  to check"i replied honestly

She laughed combing my hair gently

"I trust my children it's two  hundred plus.in sha Allah"she said hopefully

"Ameen"

And i started thinking of well wisher
He accepted he is a male
And he is twenty-two years old
But he never showed me his picture or told me his name
I get angry sometimes but he is too sweet for me to keep being angry

And Munib hasn't been online for one month and he seemed to have found an American girlfriend

"Nailah!I passed!" Halima squealed running into the room and mama let go of my hair

"Really?"i asked

"What did you score?"Mama asked curiously

"Two hundred and fifty"Halima replied hugging Mama happily before she hugged me

"Check mine!"i exclaimed suddenly curious

After she checked
she looked confused

"Will you tell us or until i slap you?"Mama asked and I was worried

"She scored..."Halima began

"Yes?" Mama and I asked in unison

"Two hundred and fifty two"Halima announced and broke into a smile
I sighed hitting her on her arm

"Really?you scared me!"i exclaimed and she cried rubbing her arm

"I'm so proud of you two"mama said excitedly

And we ran into her opened arms happily

I quickly sent the score to my brothers And aunty asiya then well wisher
I didn't send it to the group because Halima took the responsibility

"We need to celebrate today,get me my phone I'm telling your baba"mama said as we settled back to continue plaiting

"Sure mama"Halima said happily

Amra and Amar ran in giggling

"They are always running!" Halima said annoyed

"Mama i want oats!"Amar said sitting on the bed

"Me too"Amra chirped sitting next her brother

"Okay when i finish plating Nailah"mama replied

"Our graduation is soon,yay
Prom!"Halima said her expression changed from annoyed to excited

And i smiled thinking of how Allah is taking care of me and my siblings through so many people.
I am so blessed to be given two families that make me feel home

With Ammamih and Abbubah gone so soon
My heart prays for their peace










Too short chapters
I know😁
The story itself is short so if I do long chapters it wouldn't reach even this much
