Few days have passed and me n zahra were getting along with our new friend, new yaya jawwad. The teenage guy whose dad helped and brought us to the hospital.
Ya jawwad was so nice and he said he's the only son to his parent so he wants us to be his sisters and we agreed.

.....
One fateful thursday morning, we woke up with zahra's condition in it's worst part. She what surprised my life was she wasn't crying and she was in so much pain, that my mum and hers were just crying.
She then ask everyone to that she had some secrete to share with me.
After everyone was out, zahra grab my right hand and say, hajaru you remember when mallam use to tell that if a child dies he/she will be going to prophet Abraham's school, i just nod my head indicating yes to her but i was in tears unknowingly, she then said i know you will miss me sister but i am going there too and i feel like telling you before going. I then said to her but zahra can't we go together i don't want you to leave me here. I promise i will stop playing around and focus on studying. She just smiled and said no you have to stay back. Kinga ya jawwad asked us to be his sisters and we promised to be but i can't keep my promise so you have to stay and keep it for both of us okay. I just sat there crying and she was crying too after about and hour our mums came in with ya jawwad too and saw us in that condition. Ya jawwad was in tears too and just then zahra called upon ya jawwad and hold his hand, she took mine and put them in his and said take care of my sister i am leaving her in your care. Don't hurt her please get to know her well, she might be stubborn but she's nice. Ya jawwad hold mine and hajar's hands and say i will take care of both of you. You are not going anywhere okay. She just smiled - that smile i still see it clearly in my memory - and just then she yawned and said to us i am sleepy guys, you go and rest and allow me to rest too. We went out, i was still crying. We sat at the hospital compound just then his dad and zahra's and my dad too came without knowing we're there me and jawwad and said those words that changed my whole life.
Innalillahi wa inna ilaihi raji'un zahra is gone. I saw my dad breaking down because zahra was his favourite niece. More like his own daughter. After that i didn't know what happen the last thing i heard was jawwad's saying out loud abba hajar ta fadi.
I woke up the next day and banga zahra ba i asked and asked but they all kept on shedding tears and looking at me with pity in there eyes.
Then i went to umma's room, i saw her on her bedside tayi tagumi i went to her and said ummanmu she looked up and she smile a smile i call yake yafi kuka ciwo, she said hajar kintashi i said yes. Then asked her umma where is zahra, she hugged me and said kiyi hajar zahra is gone forever. Sai na sa rigima at that moment saying i want to follow zahra too ai we use to go everywhere together why will she leave and go without me. Nima mutuwa zanyi wallahi sai kun kaini wajen zahra wayyo Allah i was saying it loudly umma tana ta bani hakuri tana kuka ina kuka then mahmud who was zahra's immediate brother came in. He sat beside me and said yaya hajar dan Allah in zaki wajen yaya zahra mu tafi tare nima zanje, umma couldn't take it sai kawai ta fita ta kira yaya jawwad for me. Bayan sun shigo sun tadda mu muna ta kuka muna cewa mu sai munje wajen zahra sai umma ta janye mahmud ta ce yaxo zata bashi alawa and he followed her, then yaya jawwad sat beside me, took my hand and said haba little sis kin manta me hajar tace miki ne before she left, she told you to stay back right sai nayi shiru inajin shi. Kinga kin mata alkwari you will be a good girl zaki ringa jin magana koh, toh yanzu bayan ta tafi xaki karya alkwarin, so kike malaiku su gaya mata tayi fushi dake and i immediately said aa yaya jawwad na dena, he was in tears too but he smiled and said toh kiyi hakuri i am here for you kinji i will always be here. That's how i lay on the bed and sleep over took me.
An hour later
Umma ta shigo ta tadda mu nida jawwad duk munyi bacci shi yana kasa ya jingina da bed din, ni kuma ina kan gado.
Har ta juya sai jawwad ya farka yace umma sai ta juyo yace hajar ta samu bacci. Please kar a barta ita kadai zanje na dawo ne. She said okay bakomai jawwad sannu da kokari kaji dannan. Jawwad smiled and said bakomai umma ai hajar da zahra duk kannena ne.

Days pass months pass years pass.
I still have her in my mind. While growing up i started to realise what going forever mean and realised that zahra was like an angel send to earth to me and she was gone after handing me over to the nicest person on earth. Whom i can only be open to, whom i can cry to whenever i long to be with zahra but she was gone too soon.
During those moment i changed from that talkative stubborn hajar to introverted hajar. I rarely talk. I rarely smile. In aka takura min sai nayi magana i will just start crying.

....
8years later, i was 15years and ya jawwad was 22years -7years older than me-  na fara mafarki da zahra. She's of my height but fuskanta na nan bai canja ba. With that bright smile she will only say hajar yar uwa kuma qawata. And i will wake up. I will cry and cry blaming myself for her death. Na dena zuwa koh ina i spend most of my time a dakin mu nida zahra a gidansu either crying or studying. Yes na koma almost half of my life a gidansu zahra nakeyi. On occasions jawwad will come and ask umma for permission ya fita dani yawo wai a ganinsa in ina zaune haka damuwa xai min yawa. Banida yadda xanyi yaya jawwad ne he's my second zahra so i have to go with him. Muje ya yi yawo dani muje gidansu wajen mamanshi tace sai na zauna kusa da ita. There's this cousin of jawwad that was staying with them her name is zainab, she use to call me with matan yaya jawwad.
Present day
Life goes on but zahra still on my mind.
And on the other hand jawwad's changed into someone new, he cared for me but in an unusual way.
And just yesterday he broke what I've been suspecting. He LOVES me.
That he want to spend the rest of his life with me.

.....
Dan dan dan, what do u think about jawwad's approach.
How about safwan, you must have forgotten about him right.
Ya hajar zatayi bayan jawwad yayanta ne.
Or do you think she also have feelings for him.
