Yaron Mama

Episode 12

'Folake, How comes everybody is finding where to put their heart and you are just there' Fa'ad said

It was the mid-semester weekend, the week went by like breeze. Nino had invited all his dearest ones to his place for a good evening chill, he called it 'Weekend eat out'. The regular culprits were already present, apart from Asma'u, she was running late.

Everybody turned their attention towards Fa'ad like he had said something wrong.

'Matsala na da kai kenan, your mouth just keeps running, no filter' Dai'ba attacked

'I don't need a man to make me happy, i am fine this way' Folake replied with a straight face

'See, babbar yaya calm down first, are you guys scared of her ne' Fa'ad replied with so much temerity

The whole time Zibu and Nino were in the kitchen fixing up the chicken and some other things.

'Come, where did you people keep Asma'u, till now she is not around' Nino was really concerned, he was panicking

'Haba mallam no fear, she dey road' Zibu teased him

'Let me even try her number one more time, where is my phone' Nino looked around the kitchen

'Fa'ad, help me call my phone abeg, i don't know where i kept it' Nino was looking around the room

'Ok' Fa'ad replied looking around to see where the ring tone will come from

'You people are attacking poor Folake, what about Dai'ba' Nino said and left for the kitchen

There was decorum in the room for about 3 seconds

'ai, Dai'ba is on another level, she na marriage she dey look for' Fa'ad teased

'Ehen, how far that guy now' Zibu posed the question towards Dai'ba

Nino rushed down from the kitchen

'Hollup! Hollup!! what guy?! and i don't know him!' Nino asked with all seriousness

'Mallam you need update, let's go back to the kitchen, zo ka ji labari' Zibu said dragging Nino back to the kitchen

Zibu dragged Nino back to the kitchen, Dai'ba sat down speechless, she had a lot on her mind to say but her mouth wasn't just responding. Dai'ba has had her own fair share of relationship tantrums, her last relationship ended due to infidelity on the guy's part. Well, some several months later the guy came back pleading but it was too late already, she had walk past that part of her life. Ever since then, she has just been flowing with the wind, just friendships, she doesn't tie any meaning or importance to the acquaintances and once they put forth their feelings towards her, she shoots them down. For now her priority was to make sure her cousin brother exclusively asks Asma'u out. They have been on and about each other for close to 2 months now, that's enough for them to know if they like each other enough to go exclusive.

Asma'u walked into the room 'Assalamu alaikum' she poked her head through the door first

'Haba Asma'u! We have been calling, you couldn't even pick' Folake said with a mildly harsh tone

'Answer the greeting first na before you attack, Wa'alaikumu salam' Dai'ba said

'It's about to go down...' Fa'ad sang a part of the popular song by Neato-C(Montana)

Nino walked into the room from the kitchen with a large tray filled with fried chicken wings, behind was Zibu with a bowl of diced peppered meat. Nino stopped and looked at Asma'u, after about 3 seconds, he continued what he was doing, not a word he uttered. Dai'ba knew this look, he was angry already. He can be over sensitive at times and other times he couldn't give a cluster hoot what you do with your life. But in this case, Asma'u was different. So he was sure he was angry.
