She woke up with her name being called, "Ma'am, Ma'am",

She lazily opened her blue Doe eyes that are a bit puffy,

"Am sorry Ma'am but we are about to land in Aminu Kano airport in Kano Nigeria, that will be in 25 minutes you have to fasten your seat belt" the air hostess said in her thick british,

And it clicked in her, that she was in the bussiness class in a British airline flying to Nigeria from the UK,

She nodded at the woman and adjusted her seat from the reclined position and then fixed fasten her seat belt.

It then finally downed on her, she was going back to Kano Nigeria for the first time in 3 years,

She was just 18 years of age and now 21 years of age, but say what,

Alot have changed in her, the once soft hearted ALEESA IMRAN NASEERU,the morally and dispilined uprighted, the jovial, hilarious, and Family loving and caring girl, was no more,

She was now ALEESA IMRAN NASEERU, the uncaring, broken hearted, stolid, Smoker and an Alcoholic,

For the 3 years she spent in UK, it was a life of solitude, pains and heart break and life full of sins, but she cared less, afterall for every iota of sin she committed, a reason there is, to how it all started,

The plane landed on the runway in Aminu kano airport, some minutes later she was out into the arrivals hall, she had no idea who was coming to pick her,

She could recall, it was just a simple, empty and uncaring text she sent to her mum and at that time she was tipsy after draining two bottles of her favourite alcohol 'CELESTE'

"Coming back in two days" the text held no emotion nor respect as expected of african child but like it is said, all bad she committed started with a reason.

On coming out pulling her only dark purple moderate size box, she glanced at the departures hall , she removed her sun glasses and it all came back to her,

ALEESA

It was just like yesterday, I was just 19, it was 3 years back but my the wounds still ache, they kept aching for every single day of this past days and it still does,

I remembered clearly, My Momma was there, Nana my bestfriend , the new bride Khalisa who happens to be Nana's senior sister and Khalisa's immediate junior sister Munaya, then my immediate junior sister Ameerah, Yaya Ashir, Nana's cousin and i was there, broken and hurt, even the pain and heart injury i experienced wasn't as hurtfull as what was done to me,

For three years i didn't bother keeping intouch with any of them, i don't call them nor text them not to talk of video calls with any of them, they do the calling, the talking, i only give short answers and rarely smile, and sometimes i simply ignore the calls but they still don't stop, they keep on acting like what am doing was normal and nothing.

Unlike my first year in UK, its like they were with me because we were always on phone, chats, video call and so on, especially my Momma,

But what was done to me changed alot in me, i broke the rules alot of rules, but in breaking the rules i shielded myself from more pains.

I was pulled out of it all when a soft feminine hand was placed on my shoulder, and that instant i knew who it was, it was my one and only blood sister, Ameerah, a smirk played on my face as it is the closest i get to a smile for the past three years
