Chapter 3

Hauwa's POV

I had graduated from the university months ago, I was now suppose to go for NYSC(National Youth Service Corp) -this was a one year service  which you perform to serve the nation- and begin to look for a job.
"Umma, umma."I called upon sighting where I had been posted to.
"Mè(what)?"she asked.
I showed her my phone while saying"they posted me to Lagos."
"Wow, Alhamdulillah,"she said with excitement.
What!
I expected her to be discouraged, and all she did was be happy?
I didn't really like the idea of me going to another state entirely and staying miles away from my family all because of serving your nation....
It just didn't make sense to me.
I went back to my room and locked the door.
As I was deep in my thoughts of NYSC life, a knock on the window interrupted.
I went there, pulled open the blinds, and to my surprise, I saw...
I saw...
Amar.
I quickly grabbed a near by scarf and threw it over my head.
Was I dreaming or something?
I rubbed my eyes to see if I was dreaming.
"Amar?"I whisper yelled as he held tight to the balcony rails.
"Open up."he looked frustrated.
I was lost, I didn't know whether to open it or not.
But eventually I opened it for him and he got in.
"Hey, beautiful, did you miss me?"he questioned once he was on his feet.
"You could have just come through the right way."I told him.
"And you could have also gotten into trouble if I did."he winked.
I had feelings for Amar back in my secondary days but those feelings vanished after I graduated from secondary school and I didn't know whether they could ever come back.
"So why are you here?"I asked.
He was about to answer when the door knob twisted.
"Hauwa."I heard Umma call while twisting the knob.
Amar stood still, and I hushed him into my bathroom. "Don't make a sound."I told him and tried to act normal.
I unlocked the door, and let Umma in.
"Why did you lock the door?"
"Umm...."I searched for the right lie. "I was about to change, and didn't want anyone to just barge in."
Perfect lie.
"Whatever."umma rolled her light brown eyes and went to the bathroom direction.
I ran to the front of the bathroom not allowing her to go in.
"What are you doing? Are you alright?"she questioned.
"Umm... Do you want to get something?"I started to sweat.
I didn't want to be caught.
If not... Hmm
"I want to get my sponge, I left it here when I used here yesterday."
"Okay, don't worry I'll get it for you."I entered the bathroom and pulled down her sponge.
"Here you go umma."I gave her the sponge and she looked at me as if I had lost a bolt or something from my head.
She left the room, and I locked it again.
"You can come out now."I opened the bathroom door.
"Wow, that was close."he gave me a grand smile which I returned.
"So?can you go now, we can chat."I said with my hands on my hip.
"Not after this."he pulled me by the hand making me land hard on his chest... Like really hard.
We kept staring into one another's eyes which seemed like forever.
Before I knew it, he placed a soft peck on my cheek and hugged me making my boobs and his chest come in contact.
"Bye."I watched him climb out of the window then  out of the fence.
"Bye." He waved and began walking to a car.
Oh God please forgive, I know what just happened wasn't right, please forgive and turn this sin into a blessing for my family and I.
I walked to my full length and admired my reflection.
"I think you just found the right guy, hauwa."I said with a bright smile on my lips as I winked at myself.
