Saturday
I went down stairs to see Mama's guest and my aunt.
Anty rajjana.
"Good Afternoon" I greeted.
"Halima!,How are you?"
"Alhamdulillah" I said smiling.
"How is Mahmud?" I asked.
"He is fine, he is in islamiyyah".
" Okay" I replied.
My sister was sitting at the dining area playing with her dolls.
"Hey,can I come in your royal highness?" I raised bowing down and holding my blouse.
She giggled.
"Yes you may join me" sounding more like British.
"Umm I see your accent is getting good".
"Yes I got an A in that!".
" Yeepy, we have to celebrate, did you tell Amma? "
"No, she is busy" she said brushing her dolls hair who she called "Baby yaya". That's me!!.
"Okay, she will have time soon we will tell her" I said grabbing a small brush to help her comb her doll's hair.
It felt so good,I think I will be doing it all day to keep myself happy.
"Yaya I want ice cream" Hadiya said jumping off the table.
"Okay, let's go".
" Amma please we want to go get ice cream " I said kneeling close to her.
"Am not giving you money for that,what about your monthly allowance?" She asked.
Seriously monthly allowance #500naira.
"Haba,take and get any ice cream you want" Anty rajjana said interrupting handing me over two notes of one thousand naira.
My mom glared at me and smirked and I smiled back at her.
"Hadiya off we go" I said trying to use the American accent but I knew I sounded awful.
"Yay!" She said running down stairs with her pinky bag and her doll that she carried all the time.
"Mallam habu!" I called out.
"Ma'am hajiya"
"Mallam habu please stop calling me hajiya" I said smiling.
He smiled and said" Am already used to it".
"Where are you going?" He asked.
"Havilla" I replied.
"Okay, Hadiya I want ice cream too" mallam habu said bending low to her height.
"Of course mallam habu, you are always welcome" she replied with a slow mimic voice.
I laughed
"Let's go!".
