Nismat's POV
I was sitting under the shades behind my department my head was focused on the notes in my hands ,I was studying for my second to the last exam which was coming up the next day ,I have been here for almost three hours its starting to get boring am losing interest as I am not understanding what am reading anymore.
I heard footsteps i didn't care to turn back.
The footsteps kept increasing and it was as if it's coming towards me ,before I could comprehend anything I heard Assalamu Alaikum .it was a voice I would never forget.....it was Aliyu's voice .....Wa Alaika salam .How are you sweethoney and how is your exams going ? I have been calling you but your not picking my calls ,your not replying my messages so I saw you and decided to come and ask you the problem........he said, all this while I was looking at my notes even though I wasn't concentrating in fact I don't even know what I was looking at but in other to avoid looking at him I had to look down .
Am talking to you and your not answering me please say something explain to me what I did to deserve this silent treatment my dear........As if he don't know hmmm people are good at pretending I thought .
Aliyu what do you take me for a fifteen year old teenager that doesn't know anything, I know I am innocent but I am not stupid I spat .....you Always mistook my silence for my weakness, when you ignored me for more than a month I didn't complain did I ? and all of a sudden I met you with one skinny gal telling me she was your girlfriend ,and you expect me to still pick your calls and reply your message hmmm I was fumming with anger.
Please nismat listen to me .at least hear me out let me explain things to you he said, OK go on am all ears was all I could say.......
Zainab is not my gal ,she's just obsessed about me ,and
we have ended things up because I want us to be back together ,I miss the old us he concluded with a pity expression.Oh so you had a break up with her and you want us to be back together koh..look am not a piece of trash you can dump and come and carry when you want at least I deserve some respect ,you don't have reasons to justify your action seriously .......
Let bygones be bygones please I beg of you I promise you I will amend and about zainab as I told you earlier its over between us. I am really sorry ....he said holding his ears .
No matter how I want to stay angry with him I just can't ,I will always end up forgiving . the thing about love is that when the person you love does something to you your heart makes you forgive them, because when in love the heart controls even the brain.
I signed OK let it be, even our creator forgive us for our mistakes so why can't we forgive one another ,picking my bag and books I have to go home it almost late already bye .My car is at the garage it broke down yesterday I would have dropped you ,bye sweethun I will call you later
I felt so relieved through out the night it was like a heavy stone was lifted from my heart.Aliyu called me at night and we had a lovely time ,I realised how much I missed him,how much I missed us .
The next morning I woke up in a very good mood ,I had a permanent smile on my face as if I won a lottery well being with someone you love is more than winning a lottery to me..
Even the exams was sweet probably the best I have written . just then bilkisu came over hyy matu how was the exams .....it was fine let me say it is the sweetest so far ......I see your in a very good mood today can u tell your best friend what its all about.
See you so I can't be happy again ,nothing really much well you know this is my favourite course I think that is the occasion. I said with a sweet smile.
My dear can you quit lying and tell me the reason ,I know you better than you know yourself ,yes you love the course but the smile on your there is more to it .
Arghh why do you even have to know me this much.....that's because am your best friend for four years she chuckled .
Okay this is it we've sought things out with Aliyu he apologized and promised never to repeat his mistakes again I split it .
Okay dear if that makes you happy I will encourage it,let's keep praying for the best she told me with an assuring look . one thing I like about her is she always encourages me in whatever I do ,she doesn't impose her opinion on people ,she's so optimistic like myself.
Hayrat appeared from no where hey you two I have been looking for you all round this school but couldn't find you she said sarcastically..... Or rather you've been rooming about, face of radiography greeting everyone bilkisu answered .
Ooo so you want me to be like you Mrs silent biko I was given mouth to talk ......Don't start an argument please am not ready for your endless dramas I rolled my eyes and we kept gisting well mostly about Aliyu .
Uwaisu's POV.
Its been a week since Fatima left ,I have been missing her so much.
Just then Umar entered my office clapping his hands he brought me back to reality...sitting down on the couch ,what have you been daydreaming about that your so lost he said.
Nothing much I was thinking of Fatima,Umar I love that girl so much but I don't think she love me .
What makes you think she don't love ,maybe she's just trying to hide it you know gals and their philosophy ,they said if they show a man love he would take them for granted.
Yes but still immediately after she graduated I wanted us to make things formal but she refused saying till she is done with service and Abba has been bothering me to bring a wife and settle down ,Fahad already has one ,she just finished secondary school but Abba wants me to get married first or we get married together but Fatima is not helping matters at all.
My friend don't think much about it let her finish the service since that's what she wants before then tell Abba to exercise patience with you . Don't over think yourself over the issue.
Umar you don't understand Abba won't take my excuses ....Oh come on at least take things easy bros Umar said patting me.
Hey dearies I hope your doing well.
