Hajar's POV

Hajarah abdulmalik! I heard my mum's voice calling me. Whenever she calls me by my full name then definitely im in trouble. Naam mamana i said trying to lessen the situation. Where's my brown slipper wai ban hana ki saka min takalmi ba. Mama i asked for your permission fa, mama kin fiya mantuwa fa, i whined. Yimin shiru and don't ever take my things ai kema kina da naki. Uhmm hajia mama i smiled and went back to what i was doing.

....
Today's lectures was boring as hell i said to my BFF fatima, abeg let's go and eat im hungry. Aikin kenan acici kawai. Eh naji din energy nake qarawa saboda next class. Kina da matsala hajar sauran fa 30mins kuma kinsan halin malamin nan. Oh come on fatina please, muje koh maltina ne da biscuit sai na siya. In mukayi latti xakiyi bayani.
That's our usual banter almost everyday at school.

...
After school i went straight back home, mama was already back from work. I said the salam and went inside, mama nadawo i shout, yunwa nake ji. Zo ki cinye ni toh i heard mama's voice from her room i just laugh and went to the kitchen. I washed my hands (wannan dabia tace duk inda naje na dawo sai na wanke hannuna) uhmm mama meyasa akayi rice and beans arrggghhh i whined. Your own cup of tea i heard mutasim my elder bro behind me. I turned to glare at him but ended up grinning sheepishly, he was holding a plate of fried yam and ketchup oh God my favourite. Ya mutasim darling dan Allah sammin kasan ni bana son rice n beans dinnan. In ban baki ba ai sai kinxo min a mafarki come and take. I jumped in happiness and took the yam from him and went straight to the sitting room and eat my yam.
I was about to finish when farisa the housemaid came in and said to me anty hajar anyi bakuwa, wata mata ce baki ganta ba hajia da ita, kinga...please shut up ina ruwanki. Bana hanaki irin wannan banzan haukar taki ba i said to her, she went out muttering sorry to me. I went upstairs and called mama before sprinting down to the main parlour to greet the guest. Salamualaikum i salamed and the woman answered, ina wuni, lafia lao yammata ya kike. Alhamdulillah thank u, mama will be here shortly i said and went to bring in some drinks.
I went back and saw mama was already there and they were exchanging pleasantries. Hajia maryam ga yar taki fa hajarah nasan ma kun gaisa...ahh wallah mun gaisa. Itace hajar din, masha Allah yarinyar ki mai hankali. I smiled shyly, i was about to go out then i heard the guest ( hajia maryam) saying ai tare muke da safwan. Ahh ya baki ce ya shigo ba haba ai gida ne mama said. Hajar jeki kice ya shigo ki kaishi bangaren yayanki. Toh mama i said and grab my veil.

....
He was in the car busy tapping his phone. I salamed but no response, i salamed again and the guy wasn't even moving. I started to get annoyed but i calmed my nerve and salamed again and he was a bit startled, i smiled controlling my laughter and i said to him ance ka shigo ciki. Okay that's was all he said. Wannan dan rainin wayo ne i said to myself. I lead the way and asked farisa to get him some drinks and snacks. Went back to my room.
15mins later i heard mama calling me hajar hajar, naam mama. Your aunt is going. Kaji mama ban taba ganinta bafa kuma har ta zama anty i said to myself rolling my eyes mentally. I smiled and said anty har kin fito toh sai anjima. The woman was smiling at me, yawwa my daughter sai anjima. And they went out.
Mama wace ce wannan i asked mama with curiosity written all over my face. Ina wadda nace miki mun hadu a turkey last zuwana india..ohhh Allah sarki is all i could say and i went back to my room.

....
