Sealed Fate (Editing) ✔️

FIVE.

Today is the day they have been waiting for, the day they gets to show their talent to the school and their parents. Kim wore her customized jersey before moving to the stairs meeting Manal anxiously waiting for her.

"Let's go" She said taking Manal's cold hand. They walked to the court , thinking about how the March will be.

" If we win, our parents are going to be proud, we are going to be proud of ourselves"Manal stated.

" I know. But if Hajiya iya gets to know , I am dead for sure "

"Godddd, that woman is a pain in I Ithe ass. Someone can't enjoy his life "Manal said, bending to tie her school lace.

"M, stop it. This is my grandmother we are talking about , at least respect her" She told her. This is her grandmother, the mother that nurture her father. No matter how much Hajiya iya hates her, she will still respect her . Scratch that, she is willing to do everything to make her happy.

"Okay ."

They met the rest waiting for them . "Girls, all I have to say is : Don't make winning your first priority, show your talent there. You can win but you don't have the talent , it is luck. So girls , show them your talents "Their coach said. "So girls what is our motive "

"To show them our talent "they screamed. "Okay . Wish you girls luck. I know you can do it"Coach Alisha assured them. She is just like their second mother and hurts that they are graduating.

They entered the glass house that surround the basketball court. The screaming from the audience increased, they were welcomed by the announcer .

The game ended shortly and the girls lost. They were not happy but at least they showed their talent to the school and the world. They showed the world 'a lady can do what a man can do . Maybe better in Heels'

Kim dragged her sweaty body to meet her parents that were waiting for her in the garden. She moved tiredly to them and hugged her mother . " Baby , this is so ewww. Why will you hug me when you know you have to take a bath" Her mother said , crunching her face while her father laughed.

"Because I missed you guys " Kim muttered. "How are you my little angel" Alhaji Faruk asked. To say he missed his one and only daughter and he can't wait to have a bonding time with her.

"Fine daddy . Did you guys buy the heels for me. The red one " Kim asked, inspecting the bag in her hand " No " Her father said shortly.

The look on Kim's face said it all, she was shocked and heartbroken. She was going to wear with her prom dress and now she have to wear a flip flops since that is the only presentable shoe she has in school.

"He is joking dear. He sealed it inside , you will find it at the bottom . "Her mother told her.

"Okay mummy"

Kim decided to fill them in , what happened in the hostel when the girls pranked their night coordinator. They made the lady go crazy while they laughed at her. The lady had to take a week leave ,she was frightened.

"Kim, you need to stop all this and act like a lady . We are returning to Nigeria you know that and you know your grandmother will stop at nothing to make you suffer" her mother stated furiously.

"Haaba Rukaiya stop talking like that . She is a lady and she acts like one. You are harsh on her this time" Alhaji faruk told his. Then it hits her, she is talking harshly to first priority . She went through a lot to get her and this is how she treats her?

"My little princess,I am so sorry. I didn't mean that way , it just came out, I.. "The words got stucked in her throat, she doesn't know how to apologise to her. She didn't mean to say it, she just pity the girl when they return to Nigeria. Kim is going to face a lot because of her father's mistake.

"No problem mummy , I understand . I have to get back because you guys have a flight to catch and I have to meet the girls later "She announced picking the bag and hugged them for the last time.

"Till next week baby. I love you" Hajiya Aisha waved at her .Kim left the garden to the hostel not bothering where Manal is. She is not a kid so she knows her way.

She took a hot bath before deciding to take a nap. Who doesn't need his/her beauty sleep, no one of course.

She slept like a baby born with no worries when she have tons to worry about. She clouded the thought at the back of her mind and slept.

She woke up after two hours of good sleep, she rinsed her face before going to Room 15S to visit her school daughter . It has been long since they saw each other.

She knocked on the door, patiently waiting for them to open up. "Hey sister Kim. Welcome"a short girl said, welcoming her.

"Thank you. Where is my little pumpkin "She asked sitting on one of the beds . "She just entered the bathroom . Oh here she is"

A petite girl came out of the bathroom, her hair perfectly done . She is a real definition of beautiful.

"School mother, you are here. "Fatma screamed , crushing into Kim . "I miss you " she added.

"I miss you more pumpkin. Why didn't you come look for me"Kim asked.

"I did, but I met aunt Manal and she said she will tell you" Fatma told her . Kim sigh, something is surely wrong with Manal upstairs. She won't pass the important message but the minor ones.

"Oh, I think she forgot "Kim said covering up for Manal .

"Okay"

Kim helped the girl with her assignments even though the session has ended , the kids were given tons of assignment to submit a day to the school graduate. Which school does that?? Depriving the kids their holiday.

"My Ahki said I should greet you . That he is coming to see you soon"Fatma dropped.

Kim froze, no way he is coming back to her live. She has already mend everything , why is he trying to destroy everything after two years, two good freaking years.
