The next morning After her azkhar she heard Hajiya lantana shouting her name "na'am Hajiya" she answered and ambled to her, A sharp pain immediately engulfed her face, she realized she have been slap, she slowly raised her head to look at Hajiya and she was slapped hard again, she couldn't stand on her legs so she fell, her eyes started to fail her, tears were streaming down her face "you offered your body to my husband so you can pay for your registration, after all I did you, shegiya mara gata maciya amana" she went on and on about how betrayed she feel "Zainab!!" She called and Zainab was out in a jiffy "park your things, you and this useless girl are leaving my house, go and school and leave me and my husband alone" she commands and Zainab knelt down and keep begging her telling her they don't have anywhere to go while jidda is finding it hard to digest everything, thinking about when it was she lured Hajiya's husband, she wanted to explain to Hajiya but she knows it will be of no use.
She went back to the room and packed her clothes, she woke Hadi up and narrated to her what ever happened between her and Hajiya even the part Alhaji offered her money if she agrees to sleep with him.
The three girls cried and cried, even though it's not been long they met they still adore each other so it's hard for them to separate
"My prayers are with you" Hadi said as she bid her two friends farewell.
Jidda and Zainab had no idea where start there sojourn
"Jidda!!! Jidda!! Zainab" a voice called, turning around she saw a familiar face, is the boy that helps them to wash plate at Hajiya's
"Bello what are you doing here" jidda asked
"I live nearby and I saw you passing by with your bags so I wanted to know if you're traveling"
Zainab took over from jidda and narrated to him what happened, he took pity on them and asked if they wanted to work with his former boss who leaves in the heart of the and they immediately agree because they need shelter and food, he warns them that Hajiya is very strict and doesn't like laziness.
They took a bike to her shop, she owns a restaurant too but a beautiful tall one, with five chairs attached to a table, each chair looks like royalty, beautiful big chandelier just like a palace and some some strange painting of a chained crying woman, then other paintings like a full crescent, a sun flower and a painting of cutleries, and she could relate to the chained woman paint, she felt as if it was her caricature.
After introduction, Hajiya briefed them about her restaurant and warn him them about laziness, she showed them to a fully fitted room and ask them to freshen up then come out to start work.
Jidda and her friend were so happy and they wish she they will be able to save up for their registration before the time is due, but not all that glitters is gold.
It's been their third day at there new work place, Hajiya gives jidda tips and sends her to salons to fix herself, and buy new expensive clothes.
She was so happy, for the first time she feels girly.
After A month jidda and Zainab have already saved up for registration and work with Hajia is fun because there are many employees
But jidda didn't make new friends because she found the girls uncultured and mannerless, they were tight clothes and makes inappropriate jokes with customers.
Sometimes she misses Hajiya lanta's shop because Hajiya is a very respected woman and she's stern with her customers, sometimes she remembers her onetime customer lover that she hadn't seen again and it hurts but she's use to loosing everything she loves and this makes her think of home, her cute lovely siblings, her selfless father and sometimes.
She still hadn't stop admiring the view of her new place of work, because she has never seen anything like it. "Jidda" Hajiya aisha called "get tables in VIP ready put 12 chairs to it, there will be a business meeting here in an hour, change the table clothes and ask Sadiya to prepare tuwo da miyan kuka with dried fish and chicken, another plate of spaghetti bologna and some stick meats, ask Huraira to make lemonade, watermelon smoothie, banana smoothie some and pasta salad.
Jidda was jotting down everything in her notepad
And tell of them to make it how Imran wants it.
Jidda walked away asking herself who Imran is, after she delivered the message, she arranged the table and changed the table clothes, she puts some bakhoor in the room and it was smelling pleasantly, she was patiently waiting to see who he is and boom four black SUV parked a number of men came out wearing black suits and holding out some files but one wore a light blue Kaftan, He is tall, chubby and fair he has beautiful dark hair over his Tangaran cap which sits perfectly on his head, he walks majestically and check his wrist watch, everything about him shouts elite.
Jidda was asked to serve them and Hajiya gave her a pep talk and asked her to wear a smile and she took a mental note of that.
Asalamu Alaikum she said and all the men turned to look at her expect for the guy in the Kaftan "serve me tuwo" he said, his voice is manly and amazing
She got to work, she severed them the food and was about to leave when she felt a hand on her back, she quickly flinch and slapped the person who touched her, the sound of her slap echoed in the halls and all attention were on her "how dare you touch me disrespectfully, how dare you" she shouted at the aged man in the suit, the door quickly opened and revealed Hajiya, the aged man denied ever touching her and demands she is dismissed, Hajiya apologized to him and was about to dismiss the poor girl when the guy in the Kaftan talked "she's not lying, I saw him touched her back" he said and gave his business associated a disgusting look.
Hajiya apologized and dragged Jidda with her
"Ke shegiya an miki gata kina son kin ci mun tuwo a kwarya, they are my highest paying customers and you want to chase them away, thank God for Imran if not u could have ruined my reputation, and so what if he touched you, we satisfy our customers how ever they want it, why do you think i buy clothes for you to look fine" she scolded "butHajiya is inappropriate, nobody has ever treated me in that manner" Jidda wailed
"If you cannot, leave my shop right away" she points at the door. But jidda knows better, she knows she can't leave, she has no shelter, she decided to put with her until school starts,she apologized and run back to her room, she look over to where her clothes lies, so this is why all the girls here a uncouth.
She now avoids serving food and keep her self workin in the kitchen, where she learns new cosines and improved her cooking skills.
It was a hot summer Monday at the early rise of sun, there were no customers at the restaurant, because of work maybe, jidda keeps herself busy with cleaning the halls when a Familiar car parked and he walked in, Imran walked it, she wanted to run away because men like him are disgusting and she can't be around him "ke" he called, she turned to look at him
After taking a seat, she followed him to take his orders, she kept her distance, he gave her the orders and she left.
After he ate and pays the bill, his bill was 7000 but he gave 10000, she counts the money and returned the rest of his money "keep it" he ordered "no" she said walking away, he jerked her hand and threw the 2000 naira mints to her face, she badly wanted to fight and put him in his place for touching her but she knew better than to disobey Hajiya so she forcefully set her hand free and walk away leaving the money sprouted beautifully on the marble flow
"Hajiya! Hajiya" he called and told her his money fell and wants her to ask that employee to pick it, his ego was touched, how can a common waitress do that to him, he is one of the youngest billionaires in town, he is from a reputated Family 'The sarkin Yara' family.
Jidda hand pick the money and hand them over to Hajiya, she is stubborn, really stubborn after her job was done she walked away and so did he.
She left him with the thoughts of, girls are used to hovering around him like bees but this girl is not even affected by his presence anyway she's not even his type, she's just a stupid village girl.
Gen Gen What do you think about Imran
I think he's hot
