UNEXPECTED

Hayrah's P.O.V

What's he doing here or is he their cousin too.

" Take a picture it lasts longer" he said again rolling his eyes.

This one is mysterious, so boys roll their eyes too.

I looked at his eyes again " Am sorry".

" Whatever " he answered leaving.

Yes it was the mysterious guy that saved me.
" God Hayrah I have been looking for you, please I want you to escort me to a friend's house" I heard Safna said behind me.

I rolled my eyes " why can't you go alone ",or you want me to go back home today by 12 midnight right" I added sarcastically.

She smiled sheepishly " Please, besides we are not going alone"

" OK am escorting you " I finally said sighing heavenly after many pleads.

She squealed " Yayyy thank you"

Who knows whether she's five!!

~~~

Am already done and waiting for Safna to go to her so called friend's house.

" Hey babe" I heard that playful voice behind me. I turned around smiling " Ya Na'im how're you".

" Am fine, I can see you're escorting Safna too"

I sighed again " you know Safna, she forced me".

" Don't worry you're going to enjoy it because I will be there" he winked at me. I laughed " Your wish guy".

" OK guys, let's go" Safna interrupted what he was about to say. She was dressed in a beautiful maroon vintage gown.

" You look beautiful Masha Allah " I admitted smiling at her.

She hugged me " Awwn thanks babe you don't look bad yourself "

" OK girls let's get going " Na'im interrupted us.

~~~

We got to the venue and it's a beautiful house, looks like they are loaded too. It's the girl's birthday party and she invited Safna and gave her three extra cards too. We got out of the car and made our way to the backyard where the party or more like get together is taking place.

" Hey Saf, thank God you made it" A voice said coming from behind us. She was dressed in a blue trouser and black shirt with ' I AM THE BIRTHDAY GIRL' written boldly at the front. Guess she's the birthday girl.
Safna hugged her back " Yes Iman we made it". She turned and look at Na'im "Hey dear" she greeted trying to hug him but he stepped back waving at her.

Isn't she Muslim or what?!

" Uhmm.. Iman meet Hayrah my friend and Hayrah this is Iman the birthday girl". Safna said introducing us and the Iman of a girl just waved dismissively.

Well who cares after all..

We went and sat down looking at our environment, the place was beautifully decorated with flowers surrounding the environment. She should just call Mallam( Islamic scholars) to pray for her rather than organizing the party of the year. What's the use of celebrating when you're getting closer to your grace each passing year.

" Safna am tired, can't we go already" Na'im finally said what has been bothering me. She eyed him playfully: "Stop using reversed psychology, just tell us you're enjoying seeing your ' babe' " she said air quoting the ' babe' as she busted out laughing , I couldn't help but join her too.

" OK what's happening" I asked after the laughter subsided. He looked at us annoyingly " Safna I told you I don't Like the girl, she's too fake" he said irritatingly.
Safna looked at me " You see Hayrah, this girl has been crushing on him for a very long time now, I know she didn't invite us just like that, she did that so that she can flaunt to her friends that the oh so Na'im Ibrahim Maigari came to her party" She said sighing at the end.
I looked at her confused " Are you not her friend?"

She chuckled " we are not that close, she's obsessed with material things and you know how much I hate people like that".

" Baby please let's go and snap" the Iman girl said to Na'im as she sat close to him, is he 1 or 2?! Why is she even calling him baby. Na'im looked at us pleadingly to save him.
" Am sorry Iman but we have to go ummi just called me" Safna finally saved him standing up and I stood up too while Na'im has almost reached the car.

" Saf just one picture " she said pouting her lips that was colored with red lipstick. Safna sighed almost getting annoyed " Some other time but not today " she said getting hold of my hand.

" OK then since you insist, but let me get your souvenir for you, you know there are many expensive things inside you can't afford to miss it ".

Is she flaunting or what?!

" Yes we know but we don't need it now, bye" Safna answered already dragging me to the car.

" OK that was rude" I said looking at her. She chuckled " I know she was just annoying me you know".

" what took you so long" Na'im asked immediately we entered the car, he was sitting in the driver's seat already.

" you know that girl with her trouble"

" Hayrah how's Nafeesarh?" Na'im asked looking at me through the rear mirrow. " she's fine Alhamdulillah" I said smiling because she asked me the same thing yesterday. What's about to happen?.

" Ya Na'im who's this Nafeesarh that you're smiling dreamingly" Safna said grinning.

He looked at her immediately " you're not serious ". Safna pouted looking at me " Hayrah who's Nafeesarh since he won't tell me".

" Nafeesarh is my only friend and he met us together in the mall last week".

" what are we to you?" they both said at the same. I chuckled " Am sorry guys, you know she was my only friend before I met you guys".

Safna looked at me smiling " I understand, but please we are all friends now".

" Safna when are you going back to school" I asked her.

" Am not going back there anymore, I want to stay in Nigeria for now, I have gotten admission in Nile university and Hayrah please you're escorting me next week for registration "

" OK no problem, am honored" I said grinning.

" you're not serious " she said laughing just as the gate opened automatically and I saw made me to supplicate.

Inalillahi wa'ina ilaihi raji'un!!!
