Usman’s POV;
I scoffed trying to sound more confident. “You're what?” I questioned her in a serious tone. And she repeats herself again for me confidently.“Woah! I know you're crazy but not this crazy. Who's going to college? Lol” I clapped my hands and laughed humorously. “You and college NEVER.” I alerts laying more emphasis on ‘never.’ “oh wait what are you even going to do in college? Or do you think dumb people like you are allowed there?”
To my suprise, she just nodded and I watched her as she pressed one to two buttons on her phone. What is she trying to do? Is she trying to call my mom?
“Hello afternoon mom” she greets and because the call was on handsfree I can hear mom greeting her back.
“Aisha honey how are you? How are you feeling now?”
So she called mom, what do I do now? What if she tells mom what has been happening in this house? Or no! Then I have to stop her. Just as I was about to jump over her bed and caught off the call, the logical brain in my head suggested.
Why won't you wait and see either she's really going to tell mom or not, don't hurriedly jump into conclussion Mr arrogant. I nodded and waited patiently to listen to what she is about saying.
She turned and looked at me with a mocking grin on her face and I shook my head signaling her not to tell mum the truth. “Much better, you don't have to worry anymore” mom sighed relieved “don't play with your medicine okay?” “okay mom” she added “the reason I called is to let you know that I want to get on with my education, I want to re-write jamb this year and apply into Unilag...”
“Wow thats a brilliant idea dear, if you called to ask my permission about it then you have my blessings.”
“Thanks mom but theres a problem” Aisha stated as she turned around and looked at me and I quickly averted my gaze somewhere.
“What the problem honey? I hope I can be of help.”
“Its Usman mom, he don't want to let me into college, he said i'm never going back to college again.”
“What?” Mom exclaimed “do he want me to have an attack? Omi'god.” she sighed. “Are you guys together?” “Yes” She replied.
“Pass him the phone.” She stood up and walked over to where I was standing and passed me the phone. I eyed her head-to-toe before grasping the phone. “Yes mom.”
“Baby why won't you let Aisha study, huh? You suppose to be the one encouraging her and not the one discouraging her. You know what I want of you now?”
I feel like screaming at the peak of my voice because of how angry I am.
“Yeah... to go and buy the registration form for her”
If you do that mummy will be damn proud and happy of you. Pass the phone back to her okay?”
I gave her a deadly glare before passing the phone to her.
“Aisha, don't worry yourself anymore okay? It'll be bad for your current situation, I've talked to Usman he'll buy you the registration form and all that you'll be needing okay?” Mum assured her and I felt like kicking her ass so hard.
“Okay mom thank you. Bye” She hung up and glanced at me smiling, thinking that she's now the boss. I hissed and left.
On reaching to my room, I laid flat on my bed. I have thousand questions running on my mind and I seem not have the answers to it. I can't go down by Aisha, ever since I've been the boss in here and that remains that. How? Gosh! I ran my hand through my hair just then my phone started ringing beside me. As I glared at the screen I saw it was Humairah calling. Though my mood isn't good I cannot ignore her call and I picked it up.“Hello babe...”
“Hi baby, I have no where to visit today am thinking of coming over.”
“Oh really? Why not come tomorrow I'm kind of busy today.” Gosh! This is the first time I'm saying no to her.
“Babe is something wrong? You've never say no to my wish. What's bothering you?”
“Its nothing really, just exhausted from work.”
“Why won't that wife of yours give you a massage then?”
“You know I won't let her touch me for the world.”
“Awwn! I love that then I'll come and give you the massage instead. I'm hanging up” and she did before I could get to talk. Today is such a bad day I hoist up from my bed and get changed into a ¾ jean trouser and black T shirt. After closing my door, I saw how dirty and eww the dining area was looking, Aisha really have no intention of tidying it up and if not because of what she'll do to my mother, I would have beat the devil out of her and force her tidy it up even if its with her tongue.
Humairah said she'll beoming, and the house is a total mess I can't let her in at the state of this house and surely I can't call her back and tell her not to come she'll think maybe Aisha and I are starting to get along. I have no other option than to tidy up the god damn place myself? Seriously I can't remember the last time I swept probably since in college and I'm going to now. “Aisha!” I muttered her name angrily under my breath “you're as good as dead to me, I'll make sure I do you something evil that'll forevever remain in your stupid dumb memory.” I went over to the kitchen and brought the broom and dustbin with me just when I returned back to the dining area, Aisha came out of her room busy pressing the buttons on her phone and giving it her full concentration I felt like collecting the phone and hitting it to the ground a thousand time so she wouldn't have something to cheer her up. If I have to choose the one thing I hate right now it'll be Aisha’s happiness I hate to see her laughing or even smiling I prefer seeing her crying all day long and night with red puffy eyes. I hissed and started sweeping the dirts off just then she sets her almond shaped eyes at me. She scoffed and went over and sat on one of the sofas in the living room.
I swear she wants me to kill her, she really wants to sleep in her grave today. I tried my possible best and ignored her after tidying up the place, I left the house immediately in order to buy her the jamb registration form whatever I pray she fells the exams 'cause she doesn't look like she've got brain at all.
On my way back home, that was around 6:30pm I saw Humairah’s car around the corner to our house. I honked at her and we reached home at thesame time, some minutes later the gate opened and she entered and parked and I did thesame. I stopped the ignition and shoved myself out of my car in order to welcome her and even forgot that I was holding Aisha’s jamb form.
Just then, she saw the paper I was holding, before I could get to close the heading she've already read it out.
“Baby?” She called with a questioning expression on her face I had to put on my best mr cool smile. “Yes honey” I answered back charmingly. “Whats that paper about? What are you doing with a Jamb form?”
“Ohh this” I brought the paper out, “it belongs to one of my colleague he said his wife wants to re write the exams this year” I lied sounding guilty and ashamed, this is the first time I'm actually lying to her and for that I felt ashamed of myself.
“Ohh” she heaved a sigh “I thought you were the one to sit for the exams.” She smiles teasingly. And I replied her smile. As we enterd into the living room, that hard headed ass (Aisha) wasn't there and I felt relieved. Humairah sat and I served her with some snacks and drinks.
Instead of me to excuse myself in order to keep Aisha form for her, I ignored that thought and started having fun with her just as we do always.
