BFFs: troubles within A Year

27. Gombe

Halima's POV

Teemah didn't even let me sleep the yesterday night. She kept ranting about how I'll enjoy the road trip. How I'll love her cousins, Amrah and Shukee. She has ranted my ears off.

We've packed all what Teemah might need for the trip. So we go to our house and she helps me pack what I'll need too. I take native clothes and a few English wears. I know better than to go to the northeast with English wears, I learned my lesson the hard way.

On our way to Aunty Fareeda's house Kalt calls Teemah.

"Where are you? I was thinking we should spend the holiday together away from Halli and her holiness." I pretend to not pay attention so I see what Teemah says.

"Amma fah ni am traveling to Gombe tomorrow In Shaa Allah. Kuma stop insulting my bestie, you should know that I knew her even before I knew you." Kalt hisses.

"Just say you're scared of her. Nikam nafi karfin ta. I hate her. She's such a flirt! First it was Ya Amir, now Sa'eed."

"Kalt wallahi kin shiga uku! Waton am holy and a flirt koh? Kiji Tsoron Allah fah! Hmm."

"Ha... Hal... Halli daman kina wajan ne?" Kalt stammers making me hiss. Useless hypocrisy.

"A'ah. Ina kabari nane, ai kin kashe ni. Ke da Allah. I won't tell you anything."

"Anyways Teemah can I come along with you to Gombe, pretty please?" Teemah looks at me and I shrug. I have no say in this, she's supposed to be asking Ammi and Abba, not me.

"Eeh, you can come."

"Yay! Oh bummer. Ya Amir said he's going to follow me wherever I'm going to spend my holiday at. Can he come too?" She looks at Ammi and Abba.

"As long as he's coming with his car saboda the car won't take us all." She tells Kalt what he said.

"No worries, Ya Amir has plenty cars. He just has to pick one. Send the location of where we should meet." One can hear the overflowing pride and boast in her voice. They end the call.

We go shopping and spent the night at her aunt, Aunty Fareeda's house. She was right when she said that I'll love her cousins. I mean who wouldn't? They're beautiful, fun, amazing friends and oh em gee if you taste the food Amrah made, you might forget your ear on the plate.

I know I eat a lot but the way I ate the food Amrah made scared me, I ate two and a half plates! We don't sleep the whole night. We chat and rant about our schools, friends and whatnot.

When we get tired of talking we dress up and take numerous pictures and videos of ourselves. We even do a tiktok challenge.

Once it's 5am, we take our baths, dress up and go down. We meet Ammi, Abba, Aunty Fareeda and Amir downstairs eating breakfast while the house maids clean the house and take the clothes to the cars.

We see Afnan and Amal entering the house. They are all dolled up in their jeans, tops and turban caps.

We have our breakfast and get in the cars. I follow Aunty Fareeda, Amrah, Shukee and Aunty Fareeda's husband, Ya AbdulHameed.
