Sighing I dropped the book I read for twenty five times without comprehending.... It's like seven months effort of forgetting about Abbah got wasted when I sighted him. Can you imagine my stupid little heart began to flutter? Why did my heart choose to suffer me right before my exams?

I wrapped my head with a scarf and rolled my hijab on my full length abaya

"Where are you going?" Amanda asked "To the library" I blurted "Let me use my headphones if my music is interrupting" she said, I then realised music was blasting in the background "Ugh never mind, I'd stay more focus in the library" I smiled as I walked out of the hostel.

The sun is pretty hot today and I don't want to walk for a while before I get to the library since it's a bit far from the hostel

"Hey there!" Habeeb greeted. I know you might be wondering who is Habeeb? Well let's just say he is a guy who has been trying to get close to me and I almost gave in before I realised that he might just be gay, not that he has feminine features because his hard work at the gym shows, everyone I know said he is gay because he has been single all his life and might be turning thirty by November..... so, what I'm saying is there's no logical explanation, I just don't want to be with him

"Hi" I responded "You haven't been picking my calls" he stated "Well, let's just say exams have everybody in their business" I smiled "The other day I called you I was at your faculty" "Classes has been tight" I said totally not interested "You was sitting at the garden with your friend, I saw you ignore my calls" he said "We were having a tutorial" I tried getting away with my lie by smiling

"Uhm.... okay! I am throwing a little party for my birthday and you are invited" he said. See this abáya(old fool), his mates are getting married and he is still celebrating birthday, God!! How do I ever get 'I am not interested' into this man's head
"I don't attend parties" I stated "Oh come on, it's just a birthday celebration...nothing serious" he laughed at his own joke... seriously someone tell him to stop

"A party is a party" I blurted "Listen I really like you and I wanna be with you but you're making this very difficult for me" he said... God! This man is wasting my time, did he even realise that he had stopped me under the scorching sun, I can feel the burn on my skin... argh! my vampire self shall soon be unleashed 👿 "Habeeb you're a great guy, a good looking one at that and I'm pretty sure there are a lot of girls who would go crazy over you but I don't really know about me" I said
"Just give me a chance" he said, I hope it rains today so sense could fall on him

"Heyyyyy!" Turai screamed and gave me a bear hug as I hugged her back "Hiii" I greeted back, she stared at Habeeb for a while and turned her head back to me "What are you doing with him? Don't tell me you're cheating on Abbah already?" she asked "She has a man?" he asked Turai "Yes boo she do and they'd be getting married soon In Shaa Allah" she said "Ohh.. I am so sorry I didn't know" he apologised "It's okay" she smiled as he walked away and I caught myself feeling really sorry for him... I am actually wicked😣 I hope he finds love soon

"Thanks for coming to my rescue" I sighed "Anytime" she said "You know Abbah and Bash would come visiting later for a get together" she said "Okay..." I said awkwardly "I think you should come" she said "No way" I declared "Why not? Maybe if he sees you more often he might just gain back his memory" she said "Trust me I see him everywhere and it still doesn't change a thing" I said

"I was there when you were on the hospital bed, Abbah was willing to give his life to see you awake" "I still love him you know, I tried my best" I shrugged "So you are willing to sweep him off to another lady like that after all you guys have been through? Just imagine you been in this situation, do you think he'd give you up just like that?" she asked
