"Not all lecturers are strike" Farhana said
"True but also not all are easy going. I can't actually study for this course if all i can think of is Dr A. I chatting while marking my script" say's Munira.
"Ugrh, especially when he had a fight with one of his girls. Just consider yourself coming back for his course" Asmee blurt.
"I'll read and pray that his phone get lost or spoil before he start marking" i thought out.
"Who came up with the idea of exam. Just tell me his name and i'll meet him in his grave and kill him again and again and again forever" Asmee said making us laugh.
"It seems yhu have find yourself a job. Bravo" Farhana clap her hands still laughing.
"Yhu girls are amazing. I can spend the rest of my life with yhu forgetting my worries." Munira exclaim.
"Hey, your worries are ours, vice versa. We are always here for yhu, that's friendship. I mean if we don't care about yhu then what's the use of being friends. We will always stand by your side through thick and thin, today, tomorrow and forever." I said holding her hands smiling.
"We are more than friends we are sisters and sisters helps yhu get up when yhu fall. That's what we are" Farhana said smiling.
"Awwwn, i wish i have captured this moment. It's so touching, this calls for a group hug" Asmee jump up and hug us all.We are finally done with exams and departed to our various ways. Munira was sacred of going home at first not knowing whether to share her misery with her parents or not. When she called to inform them about her return they were out of country and was asked to book a flight to Zimbabwe. She said She'll stay with a friend since the holiday was not long. We stayed together at Ya Saif's .
FOUR YEARS LATER
"I have never been to Yobe" Munira said.
"Is that so, let's go there then" i said.
A lot has happened in the last four years. Munira will only spend weeks her relatives that stays in bauchi since her parent have not return yet. Ya Yusrah is now married with a bump on her with her amazing husband Dr. Ahmad. They work at the same clinic in Yola. Ya Jafar is engage with annoying girl Sarah. She's just too much. The twins have a sister now Afrah."Ya Saif we want to go to Yola this holiday please" i said.
"Why? " Ya Saif asked.
"Munira has never been to Yola and she didn't get to attend Ya Yusrah wedding"
"Allow the girls to go Decorum (handsome)" Ya Amirah said to him
"Alright then, get ready by Friday i'll take yhu myself"
"Thank yhu so much"
"Thank yhu" Munira shyly said.
"Its okay.""Aunt Munira are yhu leaving me?" Ahmad asked
"Why will i leave my handsome boy. We are just going to pay a visit to Ya Yusrah. And before yhu know it we are back" She said to him smiling.
"Can i come with yhu?" Aisha asked
"Aisha what about your school? Don't yhu want to study" i asked.
"I do but i don't want to miss yhu"
"Don't worry Aisha, we will be back in a blink of an eye" I said to her as she blink her eyes and said "are yhu back" making us chuckle.
"We have not even left and yhu blink your eyes"
"Aunt Azee, stop tricking us its not working" Ahmad said being the smart one.
"Yhu are so cute and i can't resist staying away from yhu for more than a week. Don't worry we won't stay there forever" Munira explained to them.
"Ahmad Aisha come and get ready for Islamiyyah " Ya Amirah calls them.
"Bye aunt Munira, bye aunt Azee" they simultaneously said and run off.
"I love those twins so much" Munira said.
"Me too".It was Friday and we have already reached Yola.
Ya Yusrah rush out and hug us.
" be careful amor, yhu might be hurting my baby" Ya Ahmad jokingly said while she playfully glare at him.
"I have missed yhu so much, can't wait to see this beautiful niece or nephew of mine"
"Come in please. Munira how are yhu? Its been long, yhu have forgotten me bh?"
"How can i forget yhu? Its Azee's fault"
"Which part is my fault so that i can vividly defend myself"
"Uhmmm" Ya Saif clear his throat "give me way let me hug my brother in-law since yhu girls are forgetting us"
"True, i have already start thinking of a way to get my wife's attention"
"Poor us, let's go in am really tired before hitting the road back to my wife and children"Ya Saif left. We took our bath and took a nap in the room we were given.
The next morning, we help Ya Yusrah clean the house and make breakfast. Since today is Saturday they don't have work to go to her husband decide to leave the house for us. We spend the hole day chatting and watching movies. The next day the same thing happen.
"Azee help me with the food please while Munira clean the house am really tired" Ya Yusrah plead.
"What's the occasion?" I asked.
"Ahmad best friends are on there way to Yola and wants to spend a week here since its been long they have seen each other. They'll be staying at a hotel but it will be nice to cook for them" she explain.
"How many are they?" Munira asked
"five"
"Let's get to work then while yhu go and rest" .We finished the task we are assign to and put them on the dining table. We decided to go out and stroll around. We have not been out since the day we came to this state.
"I would show yhu my house let's go" we hop in a taxi and went to the house we stayed before. It was so closed so we walk around the area. I decide to have a peck on Khadija's house. As expected they weren't home. I really miss those days, my friends and annoying Khalil. We were walking back to Ya Yusrah house since its not deadly far. Its 1hr walk. I was narrating a story about Khalil and his endless girls when Munira suddenly stop and hold my hands.
"He's the one Azee, i never thought i'll see him again in my life. Ya Salam, innalilahi wa ilaihi raji un. Azee......... " before i comprehend what's happening she faint.
"Munira, wake up, Ya Rabbi someone help please my friend is dying here. Can someone give me water" unfortunately the area was quite only few kids playing around and a man who has water in his hand. He jog to us and was about to spring the water on her face when he stopped, gaps and froze there. I snatch the bottle and do it myself. She finally regain conscious. "He's the one Azee, he's the one"
"Relax, i don't get yhu"
"He's the one that rape me" she whispered sobbing.
I stared at him, i thought he'll be helpless and guilty but he smirk and look at both of us.
"Your friend can't do anything about it love. So just quit telling people about it because its getting odd" he said.
"I might not be able to do anything but someone can.......... . "
"Shout up please. I hate drama's" he walked away.
I run to him and stood at his front stopping him and slapped him twice on the face making him freeze.
"Did yhu just slap me?" he asked
I raise my hand to slap him again when he hold my hand and pin it around making me cry in pain.
"You'll regret raising hands at me" he let go of my hand and walked away.
Munira touch my shoulder saying " yhu shouldn't have slap him. Yhu don't know what he's capable of. I don't want anything to happen to yhu because of me. Yhu and your family have done so much for me. I can never repay yhu" I hug her as she cried her tears on my shoulder.
"It's okay. Don't worry nothing will happen to me in sha Allah (by Allah's will) let's go home"No one knows about what happen to Munira, we kept it a secret between us.
We redo our makeup and continue walking back quietly.
"Salam alaikum(peace upon yhu)" we simultaneously said walking in.
"Wa alaikum salam" Ya Yusrah and her husband answer
"Where have yhu been, the guest have already left." Ya Yusrah said
"We decide to walk back from home"
"The state is quietly beautiful" Munira comment.
"Well, it'll have been more beautiful if yhu have stayed and meet the guest. You will have find yourself a spouse and we'll be making arrangement for your wedding" Ya Yusrah tease.
"We are too young for marriage, and where will we find a spouse by staying indoor?"
"Ahmad friends mana. There are all single only one is married"
"True"
"Yhu have to agree with her ai since she's your wife"
"That again is true"
"We still are not interested"
"No worries, wait until yhu see them. They'll charm yhu"
"We shall see then"How do yhu like it?
