Yaron Mama

Episode 8

Typical mid-week at home, boredom eluded the atmosphere around Zibu. She kept turning on her bed, there was no corner of the bed she hasn't touched already. She wrapped herself with her silky bed duvet, the room was very cold, thanks to the air condition. She stayed still on the bed for a while, looking at a framed abstract painting on the wall. She had always wanted to remove that painting from her room, she never liked it, it was given as a gift to her by her uncle. Her mind was blank for a moment, then the thought of Nino clouded her mind. She let out a little smile, She started thinking of the night she and Nino met in school, she knew she struck his heart that night. Then she remembered how Nino attacked her with that question and how she answered the question.

'ugh!' She frowned her face and turned her head

'I really messed up' she hit her head on the pile of pillows on her bed

She squeezed one of the pillow so hard with one hand and she clinched her fist with the other

'I need to get me some movies, this boredom is killing me' she stood up and headed for the bathroom

The only place she could possibly get movies was from Nino, he always had the latest movies. She got ready but she couldn't stop looking at the mirror.

'I hope he likes this dress sha' she muttered

She finally left the house heading to Dai'ba's place, it wasn't that far from her place, just a N100 bus ride.

'woooss! heiiisss! Sister you fine o'

Zibu didn't even turn to listen to the guy, she knew this had to be a Yoruba street guy. She felt insulted but she was also humored too. She had always seen memes on social media about how Lagos guys called ladies on the street and it was just funny that today, it was her turn.

Dai'ba looked at her phone, she rushed down to open the gate

'hmmm, en mata, kwaliyan nan ta hadu wallahi' Dai'ba looked at Zibu from head to toe

'Na gode' she blushed a little

'That was how one agbero was calling me, wai "woooss heiissss"' Zibu and Dai'ba laughed hysterically as they walked into the house

'wooooss! heiisss!!' Dai'ba mocked Zibu as she walked ahead

'Is Adamu around?'

'ai that one doesn't leave the house now, kaman wata sabuwar amarya'

'Alhamdulillah,i came to collect movies, boredom wants to kill me'

'Toh barin na kira shi' as Dai'ba walked towards his room, then she turned, looked at Zibu like she was doing something mischievous 'Wait, so all this make up is for Nino?'

Zibu was stunned by the question 'Since when did that one start, so i can't wear fine cloth again?'

'Hmmm' Dai'ba wasn't satisfied with the reply but she just let it go

Dai'ba walked into Nino's room, only the light from the TV hanging on the wall illuminated the room, she couldn't make out exactly where Nino was in the room

'Adamu?'

Nino switched on the lights in the room behind her 'Na'am'

Dai'ba jerked, she was scared and caught unawares 'ama kana hauka ko?'

Nino laughed hysterically 'fear fear, shey you like horror movies na'

'mtcheew, please give me your laptop'

'why?' Nino walked down to his desk 'i want to use it'

'So because i asked for laptop, that's when you remembered that you will use it abi?'
