Along the road of life

Mamo

Chapter 6

"Kekuma Azee i asked yhu to snap the twins for me but yhu refuse. I'll snap them myself enemy of progress."
"Ni ba ruwan, dake da Yaya Saif, he's the one that warned me not to snap his children"
"Why"
"I support his reason. So don't ask me anything"
"Yaya Amirah, is it true"
"Yeah, and he has valid reason for that. He even made me promise him that no one will snap the kids"
"Woah, this serious"

The naming ceremony will be next tomorrow and am so happy to finally i'll know the name since Yaya Saif won't tell anyone.
"Autarmu"
"Yaya Jafar,when did yhu come?"
"I don't get it, is it that yhu don't miss me or yhu don't want to see my charming face"
"Eww, where is the charm? I miss yhu though but why do yhu keep on coming without notice"
"There is this word called surprise, i doubt yhu know it"
"Never heard of it before"
"I thought so too"
"So, are yhu hungry or yhu want to rest now?"
"Food Azee, we all need some energy before resting"
"Yhu really eat a lot"
"I know, that's why am  on a mission"
"What mission?"
"Get me the food first then i'll tell yhu"

"What's the mission?" I asked after serving him.
"Amma sai kinyi rowa"
"What? Don't tell yhu can finish this food and still be hungry"
"Of course, that's why i want to finally get married and settle"
"Masha Allah, that's great. But wait what's the mission yhu are on?"
"In search for my bride" his said mouth full
"Eww, stop talking with food in your mouth. Its disgusting"
"Shut up, where is Yusrah?"
"She went out with a friend for some shopping and will visit Yaya Amirah later"
He nod his head and continue eating taking my advice of not talking mouth full of food.

Today is the naming ceremony and the twins were named Aisha and Ahmad. Its really exciting being an aunt. The only problem is that i can't snap and post them.Yaya Amirah will be discharge  the next day and i'll return back to school.I informed Asmee and Munira about the event but they couldn't make it.

"Earth to Azee, what are yhu thinking of like this"
"Nothing, are yhu going out neh?"
"Please don't tell me yhu have forget about the naming ceremony of your first born niece and nephew"
"Ohh"
"Please go and get dressed, something presentable will yhu?"
"Yes ma'am, as yhu wish" i said bowing.
"But wait, who is going to take us"
"Yaya Jafar, now go yhu are wasting my time"
"Sorry, am going"

I got dressed in black abayah which was design with white lace and pearls. I applied light makeup and put on my black slippers. I know Yaya Yusrah will say something about me wearing slippers like she always do but she don't understand how much i hate heels.

"Are yhu going like this"
"Yeah, don't i look stunning"
"Yhu look like a dead body out of grave" she said rolling her eyes.
"Thanks for the complement"
"You're welcome"

"Good evening aunty umaima" we said simultaneously to one of Yaya Amirah maternal aunt.
"Evening to yhu girls, yhu are look stunning. Come mamo is in her room"
She said delighted referring to Yaya Amirah's mother

We walked to mamo's room, greeting the elders as we passed them with a smile on our face.
"Salamu alaikum, good evening mamo" we greeted her
"Waalaikasalam, how are yhu girls doing."
"Good, alhamdulillah"
"Masha Allah. Azizah its now that yhu decided to apprise me with your presence"
"Ohh, mamo am so sorry, i have been busy with studies"
"But at least yhu could be thoughtful enough to visit during weekends"
"Am sorry, i should have"
"Yusrah, what do yhu think. Should i forgive her?"
"Well, i'll have intervene yhu but i'll still be an outcast between yhu two so do what ever yhu wish with her"
"Adequate, yhu are forgiven"
"Thanks mamo, i'll make it up to yhu. I'll visit every Sunday from now on insha Allah"
"Yhu better stay to your words young lady"
"Oh i will by Allah's grace"
"Good"
"Um, mamo is Yasmin around?. Its been long i have seen her"
"Yes, i thinks she's in her room"
"Alright"

I was left with mamo and her guest.
The first time i heard her name i was furious, wanting to know the story behind it. When i asked why she was called mamo? It was her first born Yaya Salim who couldn't pronounce her name mamy correctly and end up calling her mamo. Mamo has 8kids, Yaya Salim who is know married with 3children, Yaya Sadiq also married with  the most cutest baby girl i have ever seen. Yaya Kasim engaged ,Yaya Sadie married, Yaya Khadija also married, Yaya Jabir who just start finished his studies. Yaya Amirah and finally Yasmin. Yasmin is almost the same age with Yaya Yusrah, so i was supposed to call her Yaya but she said it makes her look old and she wants to stay young forever. She has great taste of fashion and is always jubilant and funny which makes her cool.

"So how is mamo doing?" Yaya Jafar asked while driving us back home.
"She's doing great, she reminds me of mama. I really missed her" Yaya Yusrah said.
"Me too, i feel like am with mama every time am around mamo. Its really been long I've wanted to talk about mama since after her death. But seeing mamo today makes me want hug mama and tell her how much I have missed her. I'll tell her that i'll never disobey her again, nor will i go against her. I'll apologize to her for all the wrongs and trouble i have caused her. I really miss yhu mama, may Allah give the highest rank in jannah yhu and baba. I miss yhu so much both of yhu." I said sobbing.
"Ameen" both Yaya Yusrah and Yaya Jafar said.
"We should continue praying for them. May Allah lighten up there graves and forgive them" Yaya Jafar said
