Jamilah
I am presently standing in the front of my friend's house, my hand is sweating and was rubbing it in my skirt,i was contemplating if i should tell her what happened or not,Ummi Sultana and i had being friends for as long i can remember, we grew up together and we are very fond of each other,we love each other and being through dusk and dawn together, i have never hide anything from her but somehow i felt like not telling her this,my mom reputation is at stake and the last thing i want was someone to see my mom as a bad woman or a slut
No! Am not going to tell a shit,i will keep this in my mind,i need to give my mom the respect she deserves,the door suddenly swung open,a cheerful Ummi Sultana jumped on me and i manage to smile
"Milah oya come inside and feed my ears i can't wait"she said jogging inside and i followed her quietly,i entered her room and sat down,i noticed no one was at home and i decided to ask her
"Where is Umeima and Sadiq"i didn't bother asking about her parent because i know they are at work
"Umeima went to mom shop,Mum has an occasion to attend and she is the one taking care of the shop"
"Oh now i see why Hibatullah is not at home"Hibatullah is my mom last born,she is thirteen years,i am the third born of the family
I have an elder sister and a brother, my elder sister Zuleikha is nineteen years at kogi state university(KSU),She is in two hundred level studying international relations while my brother Akeeb is in hundred level,seventeen years studying biochemistry at university of Ilorin,we are four
"Yes oo,Sadiq went to my dad shop to relax"her mother has a big provision store and her dad is an electrician
"That's cool"
"Oya hit me with gist oo,you know your baby na tatafo number one oo,without gist she go die oo,but remember i go carry you join oo,i no fit die alone and leave my bestie"she sang loudly and i only smiled
"What's wrong with you?,ha! This is not my best friend, my best friend i know will be having comebacks and laughing her ass out by now,hey imposter where is my friend"she said sternly and i started laughing like a psychiatric patient
"Ehen,this is my real girlfriend, but seriously what's wrong with you"immediately she said that i started crying,i couldn't hold it anymore
"I'm going to miss you"i said in between tears
"Don't miss me too much,i will be first person you see everyday,i will make sure of that after all we are going to school starting from monday and it's going to be me and you"she said licking her lips and giggles
"That's not it Sultana"
"What am i not getting?"she shrugged
"I'm moving in with my uncle"my gaze fell
"Your uncle?,who is that uncle and where are you going,i don't understand"she looks confuse
"That man you saw in my compound earlier,is my father's younger brother i always tell you about,he came to take me to abuja"
"Just like that"she looks furious"i mean how can someone just come like that and demand you to follow him like a zombie,which village is he from!"she yelled the last part
"Calm down Sultana"trying to cool her down
"Calm down what,how can someone just come and ruin my day,my plans and everything, how am i going to survive in school without you"she started crying and i hugged her patting her back gently
"It's okay Ummi"i started weeping also
"All our plans,how we are going to celebrate our leaving party,everything everything got spoiled,can't you tell him you are not going anywhere"she asked her eyes full of hopes
