           HUSNAH'S POV

  " Husnahhhhh" my crazy best friend Lee woke me up from my beauty sleep,she almost damaged my eardrums note the key word "almost",Lee dad's birthday is coming up soon and i totally forgot that we're going out for shopping today with Lee "my friend go and freshen up you are stinking" Lee said scrunching her nose up in fake disgust" i carried my body jejjely to the bathroom not wanting her to start giving me the lecture of my life about me being a sleepy head,like seriously i love sleeping it's like my second hobby.

Enough of my blabber, we've been best of friends with haleemah yusuf AKA Lee since diapers so we know alot about each other and our house is like her second home,she comes any time she wants and does whatever she likes because she took my parents as hers,and it's also applicable to me because i also do the same in their house,to sum it all,we are neighbors.After i freshened up and was about to start dressing up for our shopping,Lee was staring at me as if wanting to say something but decided against it,i was well aware of the stare she was giving me but pretend to never see it,you see i have this boyfriend of mine who ditched me the day we're supposed to get married and since from then i vow never to give any guy the chance of playing with my feelings, that's the look Lee was giving me she has been bugging me to at least give someone a little chance to show me that not all men are the same,but i was hearing none of it.

After our little banter here and there we finally got ready to go,we bid ummi goodbye and off we go to the busy streets of Abuja,we are both in Lee's car since she came with it,i have no problem driving any car around,i tell you that's how lazy i am,when we reached our destination which is the Mambolo mall of course,Lee dragged me to the shelves where all assorted baking utensils are situated,me being the lazy me decided just to sit there and watch Lee pick out the utensil she came to buy and from there we shop for a few more things and we are good to go,but unfortunately luck was not on my side because the next thing i here is "husnah would you mind helping me with those?" She said pointing out what seems to be like heart shaped baking pan from the top shelf, sincerely speaking Lee is short and since when we were young,I'm always the tall one amongst us, don't tell her i said so.

"Here you go and don't forget,i owe you one since the shelf is dusty and now my hands are dirty"i said in a dramatic tone,"why don't you go ask for where to wash your hands"Lee said like it's the the most obvious thing in the world not minding how busy the mall is."Ok anything you say Lee"I said in a bored tone "and don't forget to start with your shopping before i finish things up here"she added.

i was already half way though but i heard her,i just wave my hands to let her know that i heard all that she said.I was busy walking fast after being directed to the washroom to get this dirt off of my hands only for me to bump into something hard,i raised my head only to come face to face with an angry looking man"I'm so sorry I didn't mean to stain your clothes"and he started raining all sorts of insults on me and hissed,that makes me more angry  than before because i seriously hate it when someone hissed at me or anyone,and before i say or do anything he was out of my sight looking for God knows who so i decided to at least shop for something before Lee joins me in the 'shopping',i started by going to the kimono section picked four kimonos, beage, brown, purple and ash respectively but my mind was still wandering around that grumpy arrogant jerk,that flammed up my anger even more and i started marching up to where Lee was and loo an behold there she was chatting away with another lady that i can't recall her name,but she looks very familiar,they were standing together with the arrogant jerk of earlier i started sending daggers his way because he really is annoying and he reciprocate the same way,the nerve of this guy, I groan inwardly totally unaware of the other lady who has been trying to get my attention but i was busy glaring at the arrogant jerk to even notice what she's saying"husnah get ahold of yourself"Lee yelled gaining  my full attention now"oh I'm so sorry about that"i said smiling to Lee and the other lady sheepishly and glaring at the jerk in the process, that's how Lee introduced the lady to me as Yasmeen Muhammad Kabir and i introduced myself to her as Lee's friend, that's when she started blabbering about her knowing me that Lee told her so much about me, typical Lee i trust her with that.The arrogant jerk cleared his throat to remind us about his presence, that's when Yasmeen introduced him as her elder brother Zaid,we bid Yasmeen goodbye as i dragged Lee out of the mall
