I wake up by 5:30 in the morning, I observe my prayers, had my bath,dressed up and got ready for my lectures. I decided to call umma.
'Salam dearest mother' I say to the phone teasingly
'oh no this isn't your mother. its me Anty iya well....your mother had an accident and right now she's in the ICU .and father said I should tell you to stay in school that if he should see you here he will cut off your legs and besides she will be alright.bye!
Before I could reply she already hung up.I hate this woman first she took my dad away from us then she made him kick us out.am pretty sure she has something to do with this.no matter what baba does to me I'll still go.
AT THE HOSPITAL
"Ma'am please do you know where maryam aminu jafar was admitted" i asked the nurse.
"sorry only family members are allowed in this hospital" what is this woman saying i swear if this woman "but she is my mother and i need to see her stat" i told the nurse . But the look on her face was as if i am wasting her time and i need to get out of her face " see the person that checked her in told us that she doesn't have any more family members and that we shouldn't allow any one to enter inside" with that she walked out leaving me stunned.
Is this woman bunkers?
i have to find a way to get in .immediatly after she left,anty iya AKA Wicked witch of the south .
"what are you doing here ehn! shaybe i told you what your father said. So you have started disrespecting your father. taurin kai ya miki yawa ko?"
she started shouting bringing attention to us. I didn't even have time for her . I was already stressed . So i turned around and started walking away
I didn't even know what happened next but i felt a slap on my face
How dare she
" don't you dare walk out on me. Look at i'll deal with you now that that woman is out of the way"
What the freak is this woman saying?
"what do you mean"
"your mother is dead we weren't going to tell you. We wanted to wait until you come back from school at the end of the semester before we break the news to you but now that your here i guess that works too"
NUMB
That is the only thing I feel right now. Ever since mama died which has been a week now I haven't been able to focus on anything. I stopped going out for lectures because I felt everybody's eyes on me . And I know those looks they are sympathetic looks. And I hate pity!
Hajiya iya
Even the thought of her sickens me how can a person be so wicked at least she fake cried and served the guests food during our time of mourning
