"Is that the Abbah you've been talking about?" Khadija asked "Which kin question be this now?" Linda been the Nigerian that answers a question with another "But that is dj Ab now, he is a musician" Khadija stated "How come you weren't able to tell from his picture?" "I didn't see his picture. Remember you showed Amanda not me" she said
Sarah kept repeating non stop of how she had warned me and I'm truly getting sick of it. Linda getting all the blames of hooking us up in the first place. If all these words is supposed to help, it is only doing the opposite. I grabbed my hijab and head out
"Where are you going?" Linda asked concerned "I just need a moment in my own space" "Are you sure you'd be Okay?" She asked again "I'd be fine" I lazily smiled hoping she wouldn't be hard on herself. The only place on my mind right now is the mosque. Purified myself and observed some nafilah
👿👿
I fell into a deep slumber and woke up in a strange place. It looks like a forest only that it isn't green but orange, the trees are spiky and leaves similar to faces with teeth which would open once in a while and laugh horribly. I began to shiver as fear ran down my spine
"Where am I?" I managed to stutter
"Where are you?" A leaf asked with all the leaves echoing after it and they all began to laugh. My heart began to beat really fast 'What do I do?' I thought 'Pray' my consciousness reminds "Ohh! Pray" I said "But how do I pray? I don't remember" 'Recite ayatul kursiyu' my consciousness said again "Ohh! Okay" I said and began"Allahu la'illaha illa huwa hayyu kayyum..." "STOP!" Someone ordered and I look around to see Mukhtar
"Mukhtar?" I called out, astonished at the sight of him "Yes darling" he answered "Are you not dead?" I asked
"Me? Dead? How? When?" He asked "You died five years ago" I replied and he laughed "How is that even possible?" He asked as I began to wonder what was going on"This has to be a dream, I have to wake up" I said trying to pinch myself "Does it hurts?" He asked as I nodded
"Do you get hurt in your dreams?" He asked "No" I replied "Exactly" "But you really had died. Your legs got crushed by the train during our trip to maiduguri" I said trying not to seem crazy "It was all my fault, I had taken my father's blackberry which he warned me against taking it, it had fallen from my bag onto the track and you went to pick it despite the roaring engine of the train, scared of it been crushed and me been punished you raced to pick it not knowing the running train was close. I am so sorry" I teared up, stream rolling down my face as I remembered everything in details"Well that was tragic. Why are you sorry? I am still alive" he said wiping my tears "I'm glad you are" I said with a sigh of relief escaping my mouth "Let me show you my kingdom" he said "Well I never knew you were a prince" I said "Forgotten so soon?" He asked "You've always been my princess" he said and I smiled as I walked with him. I observed that he walked with no legs
"Mukhtar how come you walk with no legs?" I asked surprised "Ohh let's just say it got crushed by the train" he laughed "I'm serious" I blurted "Okay fine" he said seriously showing me his legs "Satisfied?" He asked and I nodded as all the guilt of that day finally leaves my memory
"How do you walk on the motion? That is so cool" I stated "Don't worry, soon you'd walk in the motion too" I said smiling as he stares at me "What?" I asked "You just get beautiful everyday" he complimented "Thanks. And you got more handsome than I could remember" I blushed taking all his handsome features in with his now long hair, broad shoulders and all what puberty does in a good way
"Well thank you" he saidWe appeared in front of a golden castle and he smiled indicating we should get in. We were welcomed by strange looking creatures which are very hideous to the sight, long necks, with no faces or probably lost in the sky, perky sharp nails, if they're short, they would either have eyes all over their body or bodies full of hair and wart, four legs and every feature monster like.
I hid behind Mukhtar digging my face into his shirt "You're scaring her... switch" he ordered "Your highness" they roared in dreadful voices "It's okay my princess" he said and I looked around, now everywhere filled with beautiful maidens and handsome guards all smiling at me and I smiled back
"Welcome to my kingdom! I hope you'd like it here" he said warmly "I sure will"A/N: All these updates before I fully resume school.... I hope you like it sha
Have a beautiful week💓💓
