ONE : STOLEN

Discarded paper littered the desk, some tossed aside, perhaps arrogantly by the side of the bin. By the table and bin side are several empty cans of red bull. He stretched, settling into a more comfortable position, he continued to battled with the papers that was due tomorrow.

This was something he should have finished like a week ago, but then he had a habit of procrastinating on almost everything.

The vibration of his phone caught his attention, he closed the screen of his pc, picked up his phone and headed inside the main house "how far? Ka samo?"
"Wallahi it's proving very difficult, look Ajeay the fastest way for you to get this girl number is to ask 'you know who' for it. Besides he's married now, I don't think she means anything to him" the person on the other end of the line suggested.

"Ha'a kai sai kace baka san senior ba? Please just find another way, I'm desperate"

"I can see that"
"Look just do this for me please, I don't care how"
"Sure about that?"
"Yeah"
"Ok" and he hung up.
Ajeay got to the kitchen, the incredible smell of fried chicken mhhhhhmmmm he mumbled "Who's making my favorite" he asked approaching his Aunt by the gas cooker "do not come here dan mama, it's not ready yet"

Zahra tried to sneak passed them, slowly tip toeing across the kitchen tile when Ajeay caught a glimpse of something moving, he turned around and saw her all dressed up "ke kuma ina zaki?" (Where do you think you're going?)
Zahra stopped half ways to her destination "ermm zan karba note ne a wurin classmate ina" (i want to collect my notebook from my classmate) she replied scratching her head. Anty Hafsa did not comment.

"Dressed like that?" He asked looking at her from head to toe, she was wearing a tight skinny jeans and a top, a scarf tied on her head with an opening showing the donut she made with her hair. "Kaman wata karuwa?" (Like a prostitute?) He added asking, Zahra looked down "kin fada wa wane zaki fita?" (Who did you tell you were going out?) he asked again.
"Ba kowa" (no one) she replied.

"Go back and wear something more appropriate and then I'm giving you just 10 minutes" he instructed. Zahra went back inside embarrassed and annoyed.

"Don't be so hard on her dan mama, she's just a child" Anty Hafsat said while putting in more chicken into the frying pan
"Exactly Anty Hafsa, she's just 16 look at what she's wearing" he replied reaching for one of the already fried chickens, Anty hafsat slapped his hands "kul ya min tsame" (no eating from the pot)

"Ouch!" He cried removing his hand
"When did you people even start allowing her to go out at night?"

"Ok? Ni da waye 'you people' din?" (Me and who do you mean)

"Yi hakuri Anty Hafsa, nidai yaushe za'a gama chicken dinnan in samu in ci" (sorry Anty Hafsat, when are you finishing this chicken so i can eat"
Anty Hafsa shook her head and continued working

The morning promised to be though, 8am but the sun was already scorching hot and high up the sky. He rushed inside to greet his mother "ina kwana goggo?" (Good morning goggo)
"An tashi lafiya?" (Hope you slept alright)
"Alhamdulillah, ki gaida min da Anty Hafsa idan ta tashi" (greet Anty Hafsa when she wakes up) he said rushing out of the room
"Abduljabbaar" she called and he stopped
"Na'am Goggo?" He answered
"A dunga addu'a" (recite your dua)
"In Shaa Allah" he replied and rushed out.

At around 10am Huzaifa came to his office, Ajeay met him outside office premises inside Huzaifa's car "how far, did you get the number?"
He made a crooked smile "i got something better" Ajeay looked at him with one eyebrow raised "means?" Huzaifa opened his dashboard, removed a phone and gave it to Ajeay. Ajeay looked at him weirdly taking the phone "what's this?"
"Her phone"
Ajeay's eyes popped open "guy wetin be this, na joke you dey joke abi?"
"Ha'a na you talk say make i get the number by fire or Ice"
"Oooooooo!!! guy why? I tell you say make you rob the girl? Wetin dey worry your head abeg, how you come get her phone now?" Ajeay could not believe what Huzaifa just did.
