SALMA'S POV
Maaama I'm coming.. Mom kept shouting my name from downstairs, ohhh mama won't allow me finish my sleep now, I snorted.
Oh my Allah! Totally forgotten I have school today.

School or exams? My sister asked annoyed.

Wait.. What??? Exams!!! Holy crackers! Like who forgets she has exams on the exam's day( JAMB for that matter), I exclaimed.
Scurrying outta bed,I did all my morning rituals and went downstairs (woah! Am I that fast?)

Mama I'm late,will eat out in sha Allah.. Bye pray for my success and I love you.

I heard her chuckled.. And said Allah ya bada sa'a.

Baba Idi dan Allah hurry up I'm damn late oo, I said annoyed.

Okay! Antyn masu house gani nan ai (OK ma I'm here already), he said jogging towards the car.

Before I knw it I was at "DIALOGUE COMPUTERS" where I wrote my jamb exam. I met other candidates still in rows and columns,joining without hesitation the queue started moving. After three good hours I finished and went back home.

Yauwa yar albarka sannu da zuwa (oh my blessed girl welcome back) how was the exams? Hope you've given them marking scheme? Mama said giving me a wink.

Mama you know me better ai I don't have to say anything, I answered winking back with a thumb up.

Oya go up,pray and freshen up your food is ready but wear your islamiyya uniform before coming down, mama ordered.

Arghh! Mama I know you don't have to remind me, I groaned.

I heard that y'know, mom said.

Was kidding momma, I shouted back.

I got ready and left home, branched my friend's house first and waited for like 30 minutes before running to islamiyya.

Allah Rahma kika sa malam ya duke ni ko ( I swear Rahma if malam flog me today enhhh), I warned.

Bae calm your horses.. Wetin na? You too dey fear dalla (babe calm down, you're always afraid for goodness sake). Rahma responded.

Salma just rolled her eyes at her.

After all the hectic day, I finally got myself back, did all the house chores (girl na only food you cook oo😤) wareva!

Mama I'm done, am I free? I asked with a grin plastered on my face.

Da na kulle ki ne? (Was I holding you back before) mama replied (Typical Nigerian mothers! No even a well done talk more of I love you). I felt the urge to roll my eyes but.. Hell no! Is my momma we're talking about.

We started eating peacefully with my siblings while my mom awaited her Hubby's arrival until my brother ya Mahmud decided to ruin the peaceful moment.

What is this for crying out loud? Mama gashi ne fa a cikin abincin (mom there is hair in the food) Mahmud grunted.

Kai dalla gafara can sarkin sababi, mama fired back.

Mahmud groaned and left the food unfinished.

Tsuntsu daga sama.. Mek I chop his meat, be like say this boy head don dey touch, Fati squealed.

Hahahah let him catch you.. Nawa ido ne kawai (mine is just to look).

Oh after I saved you right, and you bansan rashin kunya, mama said pointing at the both of us.

HONK! HONK!! HONK!!

Baabaa! Fati screamed as she ran to the parking lot.

Mama when will this child of yours ever grow? I asked.

Mama threw me the book she was reading.

Kai maaama am I not your baby too, I said running for my life.

I heard her chuckled after my leave.

Ya Salma you are needed in Baba's study now, Fati announced.

Babe, what's up? Is it my iamb? I stuttered.

Abegg oo.. Spare me that trouble, I dunno, she said emphasizing the "dunno"

Oh lord help me you are my only hope, I prayed rushing to Baba's study.

Ghen ghen ghen
