Hajara's POV

12:00pm
"I know its late grandma. I know. But let me just finish solving these equations after that, i will go to bed. "
I said pouting my lips in other to get her support.
"Okay! But make sure you sleep before its one o'clock.
"Said my grandma using her stern but caring tone.
"I promise i will grandma, Goodnight! "
I'm having my third paper in three days time and its Further mathematics i really need to get an A in this subject, that explains why im busy studying at this time. I took my alarm from my bedside table and set the time to 12:45pm.
Just as i finished solving the equation ,my alarm went of so i decided to pray before sleeping.

The rest of the papers went on smoothly and before we realized we were done with all our papers.

We are now waiting for our results.
Hanna and two other girls in our school applied in the scholarship. I was always praying to God that i will be selected since grandma couldn't support me into the tertiary.
After our results are out, those who do exceptionally well will be selected.

"How much is a medium sized honey and chocolate cake ? " a customer asked interrupting me from my thoughts.
I smiled at her and told her the price.
"okay i will need it to be delivered next week Sunday at 16 Mango avenue for my sons birthday "
"You will have to pay three-fourth of the price before your order is processed then, you pay the rest on delivery "
i told her in response.
"okay! Here's the money and my. Number "
I gave her the notebook for customers and she wrote diwn her name, phone number, address and signed before leaving the shop.
I have been working in this bakery and snack shop for a month now that's, since i completed high school. Alhamdulilah the pay is okay it's more than enough to cater for our food and excess for savings.

Two teenage girls about my age entered the shop and ordered for two cold cocoa drinks obviously to quench their taste and save them from the hot sun outside with extra milk and a slice each of red velvet cake.
I served them and they paid me.
I went stood behind the counter praying for a successful day.
Later on, i saw Amina entering through the glass door making the rays of the sun creak slowly into the shop and disappearing immediately she shut the door.
I smiled and waved at her and she waved back.
"Asalaamu alaykum "She said in her over loud and piercing voice. I swear this girl can go for Miss Voice! She's so loud and on top of that she's always shouting to.
"Wa alaykum salaam "i replied her with one of my best fake smile plastered on my face praying that, she doesn't continue the conversation since she was standing at the other side of the shop.
And Amina being the Amina i know won't bother to ask you any embarrassing question without coming nearer to you even in the presence of the customers. "I hope you are fine? " She asked again i felt like sinking into the floor! Why doesn't she come a bit closer to me and stop shouting in the presence of the customers.
I nodded my head and quickly busied myself with the computer on the table to avoid anymore embarrassing scenes from her.

It seemed like she realized what she had caused a bit late because i saw her fair coloured face turn red from embarrassment as she slammed the door to the kitchen to greet Hajia Mari the owner of the bakery.
Amina is my mate in the bakery we run a seven hour shift system so she coming meant my time was almost over.
She returned back and joined me at the counter already dressed in the bakery's uniform.
It looked like Hajia Mari scolded her for her loud behavior to because she didn't talk the whole time she was with me and only managed to wave me goodbye when i was leaving.
I went to greet Hajia Mari and entered into the changing room and changed into a pale pink abaya and wrapped my veil loosely around my head,took my purse and hurriedly walked to the bus stop to pick up the 3pm bus before i miss it.

Alhamdulilah we are making steady progress.
Wattpad has really gotten me this time around. Im so lucky i saved the chapter on my notepad. This is like the 5th time im writing this😪
