His face break into a huge grin as he saw me walking slowly towards the front door, even though he has waited for quite a long time before I appeared.

"Yes, I'm here. I had been waiting for you" he said and he didn't even slightly bothered by how prickly I was being, or by the way I am giving him a deadly-eyed stare that obviously wished him gone. My gut now feeling somehow. He gave me a slow smile.

"Uhmm...Ok.. you already know that and I am sure you know that I came out here unwillingly, and I have something so let's be fast" She speak out boldly.

His smile faded, wondering how this beautiful creature could be so beastly. There was just something off about this girl. "Maybe she really don't like you after all" He thought to himself.

Anyway, we talked for merely 30 minutes.
"I am going home and I want to inform my parents about you and when I am back you'll be officially mine" he said and I stare at him shock.

"Don't you think it's early?" I pout and I narrowed my eyes at him. He was making it pretty easy to be angry with him.

"Nothing is early, I am very eager to make you mine wallahi. I can't wait any longer." He said it straight at me.

My mind was a total blank. Worse than that, I could feel my face starting to grow hot as I did nothing but stare back at him for several seconds.
"We will see then, goodnight" I said walking away before reality sinks into me.

Bauchi State, Nigeria.

It was a day to the passing out from the national service (NYSC), when I got the most shocking call from Ummi.
She narrated all that had happened. 

What?!!! How did that happened?!!

"Ummi... please don't make me worry. Please why do you sound so sad?
Can you please say something?"

"Who am I to you, Ya Ibrahim?" She decided to ask.

"Is that what has been bothering you?"

She nodded in silence.

"I don't have to answer that, you do know who you are to me, Ummi."

"Tell me how much you love me"

"I love you so much that I can cry an ocean for you if you leave me"

"He did think of me as his girlfriend already. I need to apologize for doubting him." I thought to myself.

"Ok you've to see my parents so that I'll be officially yours, and only if you don't want to lose me" she said.

"Now I have to go but I love youuu sooo much" I said and she blushed.

Today feels like the end of a life time. I barely got any sleep as the night seemed long and dark. I kept twisting and turning, checking the clock from time to time. I thought about every stupid thing I could remember. Building houses in the clouds. God! I even tried counting the stars in the sky.

It was almost an hour to Fajr so I just decided to get up and pray. Finally it was time for Fajr, I prayed together with my friends as we all went back to sleep afterwards.

The program went well. It was good for me as it was for everyone. Trust me when I say I'm officially done with the service year. My certificate was handed to me and we took a lot of pictures then headed back home. Home! That sounded like a paradise to my ears.

*****

"Home sweet home" I said out loud as we headed home from the park. It was late at night. I stucked my head halfway out the window and closed my eyes as cold air brushed my face.
I let out a deep sigh because it really felt like home.

The look on my face as we reached home, it seemed like forever. It hasn't changed much but it almost looks new.

God knew I was hungry and I grew hungrier at the glimpse of mama's food. There was mama's special waina and vegetable soup, Tuwon shinkafa and Egusi soup. "Yaay me"
