Along the road of life

Meany

Chapter 8

"What took yhu long?" Asmee asked
"Nothing" i said wanting to tell her what i just saw but remember the hadith's of the prophet peace and blessing be upon him saying "who ever hide the fault of others, Allah will hide his fault on the day of resurrection. And who ever open or shows the fault of others, Allah will show his fault on the day of resurrection" 
"Let's go then am already tired. Wish that witch is not around cause am still angry about what she did to us this early morning"  Asmee mumbled
"Please just forget about what happened earlier" i begged her while she just glare me and walk ahead of me.

When we got back to our room and saw Munira just removing her hijab probably just took her bath cause she was wearing only towel and her whole back was full of lines, like she got beaten with a cane or something similar to it. Asmee gasp and reached to her while i just stayed there in shocked. Did i tell yhu that she is fair in race.
"What happened to your back" Asmee exclaimed trying to reach out for her back but Munira wince and turned to look at us in shocked probably not expecting to see us.
"Whe...n..d..id...yhu..g.o.t...b..ack" she said stammering while we just stare at her face that was full of bruises. We gasp more while covering my mouth.
She covered her face and quickly turn around put on only her long gown wear her hijab which wasn't usual and put on a niqab, half running put.
We called her but she just walked out.

We sat down the whole day quite, none of us said a thing. We were both lost in our on thoughts. The only thing that stood us up was to pray. We waited and eventually slept off with out Munira coming back.

The next morning no sign of her, we tried her number but was switch off. The next day, the upper day. Today was Saturday, and i was to spend weekend at Yaya Saif's. I asked Asmee to come along but refuses. It took me so much for me to convince her.
Yaya Jafar called and said he was waiting outside. We packed our mini bags with 3pairs of cloth and locked the room.

"Yaya Jafar, ya hanya(how was your trip) i asked getting in the front while Asmee got sited at the back saying shyly " good afternoon Yaya Jafar " . "afternoon, how's your studies" he said not even staring at her.
"Alhamdullilah" she answered putting her earphones on and looking at the window.
We chatted all the way home.

"Yaya Yusrah" i said hugging her.
"Ke kyaleni, banson munahuci. Yaushe ne muka rabu(leave me alone, i hate hypocrisy, when was it that we part ways)" Yaya Yusrah said making Asmee to chuckle while i glare at her.
"Good afternoon Yaya Yusrah" Asmee greeted her
"Afternoon, yhu must be Asmee. How are yhu" Yaya Yusrah said hugging her
"Alhamdullilah" she said stucking her tongue at me
"This is unfair, am your sister and yhu were supposed to hug me too"
"No, yhu just got disowned. Now this is my new sister"
"Meany" i said walking inside the house.  "Where is Yaya Amirah and my babies?" I asked seeing no sign of them.
"Ohh, they have traveled to Kaduna. Aunt Rukky wedding was to take place there, so they went together with Yaya Saif" Yaya Yusrah said
"Oh, i wanted Asmee to see the twins. When i they coming back?"
"I don't really know but perhaps Tuesday"
"Ohh"

We settled down and rest. The next day, after lunch i said to Yaya Jafar "Yaya Jafar will yhu please take us to Mamo's house?"
"No, am busy. Sorry" he said not even glancing at me.
"Please mana, or should i call my boyfriend to take us" i said smirking.
"Don't even dare do that in your wildest dream" he said glaring.
"Then what should i do?" I said wandering.
"Ugh, yhu are such a blackmailer. I'll take then" Yaya Jafar said smiling.
"Thanks, we'll be ready by 3 no African time" i said as i grab Asmee's hand to the room we are staying.

"What am i to wear. All the cloth i came with are casual" Asmee said sighing
"Don't worry, its not like yhu are meeting your in laws. Just wear something cool"
"Sure girlfriend"
We got dressed and ready by 3:05.

"Sannu fah, kunwani shanyani kamar driver inku ( well done, yhu make me wait like your driver). If yhu haven't walked out now i would have leave yhu girls " Yaya Jafar said trying to keep up a serious face making me smile a little before saying "sorry, can we go now"
"Ita abokiyarki batada baki ne (Doesn't your friend have mouth)?" He asked.
"Sorry" Asmee quickly said staring at the ground.
"Let's go"

"Your brother is a meany" Asmee said as Yaya Jafar drove off
"Hey, yhu don't just got to see his good side. And yhu were the one who looked as ic he'll eat your bone, so he's just playing along trying to scare yhu" i said to her.
"He made me nervous during the whole ride and was glaring me through the rare mirror"
"Yhu should have blow him a kiss" i said given it a thought on how he'll react.
"He'll kick me out of his car. And i don't know this place, i'll just get lost or kidnapped. Ugrh, Azee yhu are really wicked" she exclaimed
"I know right, so cool." I said smiling innocently

"Salamu alaikum" we said walking in.
"Waalaikasalam, come in" the maid said
"Good evening." She greeted us
"Good evening, is Mamo around" i asked her.
"No, she just went out along with Yasmin. Yhu must be Azizah, she has been expecting yhu but decided to go to the family house" the maid said
"Ohh, thanks. Can we stay before Yaya Jafar come to pick us up?" I asked
"Sure. Excuse me" and she left us alone in the parlour.

"At least we can watch some movies before its time" Asmee said picking up the remote and start flicking the channels.
"Let's watch this one" i said to her
"What's the name?" She asked while reading out the name.
"12 years a slave" she said keeping the remote  and focus on the TV. The movie was full of abuse, its like historical movie about slavery, we end up crying our tears out.

My phone ring, it was Yaya Jafar that was calling, wiping my already dry tear and clearing my voice. I picked it up saying "Yaya Jafar"
"Azee, are yhu guys through am on my way to pick yhu up"
"We didn't meet anyone home so we have been waiting for yhu since"
"Oh, baku ne bh da shegen yawo kamar shanshani. Am coming"
"Okay"

"Is it that your scary brother?" Asmee asked making me laugh.  "He's not scary Asmee, stop calling him that. If he heard yhu he'll double what he just started"
