Obscure

Chapter five

Hey beautiful people it's been a while.
Hope you're all doing good?
Alhamdulilah your joy is mine.❤️🌹

                                                            Jalila,
  Ya Allah!! Bless him,protect him,guide him and shower him your blessings.
   The Principal told me that safwan is no longer staying in Kano,he is now staying at Jigawa, I hope it's not that Mimi asked Baffa to send him away,but how about my school fees and stuffs, where is he getting the money from?

Two months later......
       It was time for our vacation. I can't wait for him to come and pick me up, I want to see that beautiful smile he has.
"Zainab, why not plead guilty with your brother  to come over to my house for the holz it's just 2 weeks, so I want you to come over to my house and I promise to teach you how to recite the Holy Book and many Islamic stuffs" a good friend of mine, Hasina Umar said to me. She really wants to help me out with my faith.
"Well Hasina I have to ask him first, if he accept I promise to come along" I said to her cause I think following him to Jigawa is very wrong.
    We sat at the masjid as she taught me two Hadith from An-Nawawis' collection.
"Zainab Kabiru your brother is here" Mrs Kate Kibiya called out. I stood up and Hasina escorted me to him. Before i arrived he was given the award I got from the debate. It was a Cheque if  two million naira and Mercedes A black C300. He was over whelmed receiving those awards. He hugged me so tightly.
" I'm so proud of you sister" he said
I felt blessed impressed and happy
   We sat at the reception and discussed so many things he asked me intelligent questions as I answered them as he demanded
      He accepted the fact about my staying at Hasinas' house, he just warned me against talking too much and on no account should I tell Hasina about my real story.
"That's your personal life" he said.
  
                                                       Safwan
The two week is all over so I have to come down to kaduna and find out what she really needs.
I drove a mini bus containing twelve people down to kaduna. I parked at the motor park of our company and booking a taxi to Jalilas' school,as I promised earlier.
                          *                       *
"Thank you very much umma" I said to Hasinas' mum and siblings they are so damn nice and they have played a good role in Jalilas' life.
"Just take a look at your big head in ss3"  I said to Jalila after a long conversation with her. She told me how much she misses her mother and I promise to return her back to her home after her graduation.
"Exactly, but I am not that so small" she said cutely.
" You are" I said in return, we laughed.
"So what's new?" She asked.
"I am the one to ask you that?"
"Nope, that reminds me, where do you work presently?" She asked and continued writing down something on a sheet of paper.
"That's not your problem and don't ask me again " I barked.
"But you're my brother"
"So what? Just forget it" I hate when people ask me about what doesn't concern them, I hate it, Yuck.
"I'm sorry"she said calmly.
     We forgot about that and had a very long talk for about two hours until it was time for all parents and guardians to leave the school. I called both Jalila and Hasina to advice them about their academic performances.
"I don't want you two to let me down, I have this strong faith that you will pass, i believe you two are so intelligent and beautiful hearted. This is the end of your secondary school stage, the years that passed away have come to an end, this is a year that you two will show us that we are not wasting our money.
Never give up
Never give up
Never give up
Keep trying harder and harder everyday. I am expecting nothing less than 300 in Jamb and 9A+ in WAEC and NECO. Don't follow bad companies that will let you down just believe in yourself and nothing will shake your balance.If a situation is more than you can handle pray hard and harder, pray to Allah prayer really works prayer is power, there is nothing that Ya Allah won't do for you. Study, pray and play less. Make me proud my sisters" I said to them. Turning to my right i saw jalila shredding much tears, while Hasina was filled up with smiles of amazement.
"We shall do our very best insha Allah"hasina said.
"I'll make up you proud, I promise you, I won't let me down,you mean more than the world to me safwan" Jalila said in between tears. What she said made my heart to skip a beat,I also felt like crying but I don't want to.
"Alright then, I will be praying for you two,I wish you best of luck, goodbye" I said and lead my way out.
"Bye" Hasina said and waved.
"Wait"Jalila said and came closer. She passed a sheet of paper to me and I fixed it into my pocket. I turned to leave but I didn't know when I turned and hugged her. Tears feel out of my eyes. I am really pitying this young fellow who is too young to start facing all this life challenges.
     I quickly cleaned my tears before I added more pains to her injuries. I released her and waved a goodbye. I couldn't turn back before I see that beautiful face crying.
