Hajara's Journey (A Love Story)

Chapter six

Enjoy...

Third Persons POV

It was Sunday mid-afternoon but the weather was so cold.
It had been raining for the past three days.

The rain decided to end with a slight drizzle which ended in the early hours of the morning.
Most of the streets were deserted due to the fact that it was a Sunday and an additional cold weather adding to the reason why most typical Ghanaians will be lazing at home still in their pajamas or others still snoring in bed refusing to acknowledge the fact that the following day was a Monday.

For Hajara it was an entirely different situation.
Although she was laying on bed her mind wandered faraway from where she was.
Tears fell from the corner of her eyes wetting her pillowcase. She hugged her teddy bear tightly to her bosom.
It was a gift from a classmate on her 16th birthday.
Its stood around her shoulders so it was a perfect substitution for her.

She missed he parents! She wanted someone to hug her so tightly and tell her all was well. She appreciated her grandma but what boarded her most was that she didn't know if her parents were alive or not.
The face her grandma gave her each time she tried to ask about them was enough to prevent her from asking again.
Come to think of it, she didn't even know any aunt or Uncle. She only heard her grandma talk to a few relatives on phone. As much as she tried, the old woman was way smarter than her and never left a clue on her phone for her to at least figure something about her family.
Her grandma was really intelligent and being a literate was enough.

The constant knocking on her door brought her out of her thoughts.
She quickly wet her handkerchief with a little water which was by her bedside and cleaned her face before turning to open the door.

Hajara's POV

I faked a yawn and stretched myself when i realized it was grandma at the door.
She looked at me from head to toe as if trying to tell me she knew better.

"Here Hanna is saying something about the results bla bla..." she said handing me her phone.
I hurriedly grabbed the phone from her without even waiting for her to end.
She frowned at me and left muttering something under her breath.
"H-e-l-l-o h-e-l-l-o" I was surprised i was stammering this results really got me.
"Easy,easy girl "she replied laughing.
"How are you doing?" she asked irritating me more.
"I am cool. You said the results are out? Where did you check? Where did you here it? Whats did your parents say about your results? Wha... "
"I haven't checked my results yet."
She said cutting me of whiles stressing on the yet.
I could just imagine her rolling her eyes.
"Just get ready i am coming with my new car *squeals* then we go to town to check our results after we go for some shopping have lunch and i have a surprise for you"
"Hmm whats the surprise" i asked eagerly.
"mtcheew Madam gets dressed before i come and slap you over there" She said sarcastically as she hanged up the call.
I squealed and jumped on my bed my worries long forgotten. And before i could say jack, grandma was in my room with her stern face.
I slowly jumped from the bed and run quickly behind her in an attempt to escape from her since i knew she would pull my ears if i spent the next minute with her.

...........

I sat down in the hall waiting for Hanna with grandma who's attention was on the television.
Dressed in a jeans trousers and a long sleeved button-up shirt which stopped right below my knee and a blue crinkled scarf to complement my looks.
I decided to put only a lip shine on my mouth due to how nervous i was and a blue sneaker since i didn't want to step on any mud.
My clutch bag hung loosely on my shoulders and i tapped my left foot as i waited impatiently for Hanna.

In less than a minute Hanna came into the room i stood up and she greeted grandma before we made our way to her car.
"OMG Hanna" i screamed on seeing Hanna's car.
She just shrugged her shoulder and i hugged her to show her how happy i was for her.
We entered her car and she handed me her phone.
"This is the surprise! Dad Got me an iPhone 8 and mum said she wouldn't mind if i gave this one to you." I couldn't scream or cry or laugh i was so happy.
A whole Samsung edge just for me.
"Thanks so much dear" i was almost in tears and Hannan gave me that look that said she wasn't ready for all my emotional stuff. I nodded in understanding and hugged her instead.

I put on my seatbelt and Hanna started the car as fancy gadams total cheat played.
We decided to have lunch after we checked our results.

............

I sipped my mango juice as i watched Hanna who had only been twirling the drink with her straw.
I held her hand and she smiled back at me. I got 7A's and a B whiles she got 6A's and 2B's. She was scared she wasn't going to be enrolled in the scholarship.
I tried telling her to have faith and pray but it looked like she was still scared.
Our meal came and we ate in silence after we decided to postpone the shopping due to Hanna's mood.
The drive back home was boring it was the radio that was my companion.

Just as we were about to take the curve leading to my junction, a speeding car came from behind in attempt to curve before us. "Innalillahi!" Hanna and i screamed she pressed on the break so hard that i would have been dead if not for the seat belt.
Before i could turn to see if Hanna was okay,she had already stepped out of the car and was fuming with anger.

You dare not joke with an angry Hanna most especially her new baby car! I went out to join her.
"Are you freaking crazy?"
she screamed as she opened the door of the car that almost hit ours.
"I am asking you a damn question fool"
i quickly run to her side trying to calm her down but she shrugged my hands of her shoulder.

This is going to be so interesting.
"Answer me fool" she screamed again whiles pulling the young man out of the car.

This time i was able to get a better view of him.
He was slightly fair in complexion with a bushy afro and by looking at how he carried himself one could tell that he is from a rich home ,he was dressed in a white shadda with gold embroidery that fitted him perfectly.
He removed his hat and sun glasses and i could swear he was scared just by the way his mouth quivered.
I stiffened a laugh that almost escaped my mouth. He was dragged by Hanna to our car to see if the car had got any damage.

What we saw was a shock looking at the distance between the two cars we wondered how it happened.

Long time....
What do you think happened to the car?
