Afterglow.

chapter 10

I've been thinking about steph and her ideas I can't figure anything out ,I think I'll just tell daddy about it.

"Hey, reihana." I hear him call for me from his room .

"Yes Daddy." I answered ,I say the teslim (greetings of peace that Muslims do)nd entered his room .

"So I was thinking of sending you to aunty Asma'u's for the holiday , since the kids are on holiday too It will be fantastic having you reunite again, you've not visited since jabir's graduation." He said nonchalantly.

"Ehm ..."

"What?" He asked .

" I was thinking of staying back , I didn't have any plans for traveling daddy ."

"What plans do you have then?"

" I wanted to register for summer classes and learn new things instead of wasting that time ."

"Ha-ha, reihana!"

"Yes daddy."

"You don't need summer classes baby , you've never had extra classes your whole life and you've been doing great , you are still toping your class."

"Daddy but I need to do more , there are so many things I don't know ,you see if I learn them now it will be easier for me to do much better in my next class. "I said pouting.

"Okay calm down reihana ,trust me you don't need summer classes or any classes you where born wise and witty , all you need to do is focus when the time is due . "

"Hmmm" I  let out .

I don't want to argue anymore , maybe going to Aunty Asma'u's will be better, its keeping me away from steph and the so called party , I pray she don't hunt me back .

"Okay daddy I'll just travel then. "

"Good girl !" He exclaimed.

"So we'll be going during the weekend ,you can start packing your things from now okay ?" he said .

"Yes sir." I spoke with a smile on my face.

I don't want to go to Aunty Asma'u , and I don't want to meet steph or even party ,I've not been going to islamiya (Islamic school) and our graduation is around the corner , great!

"Are you ready?" Dad asked from his room .

"Yes I'm just bringing my stuff out. " I yelled from my room .

"Alright let me Start the car before you come ." He said.

I'm so happy he's taking me there , I was thinking I'll be left alone in a plane , phew!

Going to birnin kebbi is a really long long journey.

I've asked like seven hundred and seventy seven questions from Kaduna to birnin kebbi , ha-ha trust me I like learning new things .

"Maraba maraba!! " (Welcome!!)

Aunty Asma'u welcomes us as she comes out of the house .

She hugged me like she always do,and called for jabir to get my things inside for me .

Jabir is at home , yay! My subconscious is jumping from the inside ,at least I have someone to talk to , even if he'll say I ask so many questions .

"Good afternoon aunty. " I greeted.

"Good afternoon my dear ." she answered.

"You are welcome how was the journey?" She asked as we walk to the door.
