Hadiza in Lagos(Unedited)

CHAPTER 24

Hadiza's Pov

    Aunty Aminat's friend,the teacher was very impressed when she saw my results and doubted for minutes and promised to talk to the headmistress on my behalf if I could work as a nursery school teacher which had me excited as I waited for her response.

   During the time I waited my aunty had already gotten me a small phone for her to contact me anytime she needed me to do something for her and Aunty Lisa on the other hand brought her younger sister and sick mother to be treated in the city.

   At around 6am,I was always awake because Aunty Aminat goes to work very early due to Lagos Traffic.

"Whose clothes did I pack inside with Aunty Aminat clothes like this?",I asked myself as I saw a strange clothes I wanted to spread back outside.

   I took it back outside to lay on the spread when Aunty Lisa's sister,Stella came outside to ask if I saw any purple shiny top when the rain was about to start last night.

"This one ?",I said as I stretched it out from the few clothes remaining in my hand.

"Ehnehn na",she said as she collected it from me.

"Sorry I packed it with my aunty's clothes".

"I was sha looking for it this morning as I wanted to spread my wet clothes na".

"Ohh sorry",I said and left her outside when  I finished what was I doing.

   At first when she came asking for the cloth,I thought she was going to accuse me of stealing because it looked like what she could do but just the face I gave her didn't allow her to talk.

  "You don't talk to Stella why Hadiza or you are shy",Aunty Aminat asked later in the evening when she got back fron work.

  "I just don't like her ".

"Haba but you know sooner or later you people will still talk because she will be staying in this compound and Lisa is my friend".

"I spoke to her today when she came asking for one of her clothes on the rope".

"Ehnehn".

I knew Stella told her sister that maybe I acted somehow to her but wetin concern me.Suddenly we heard noise of fight and as we were wondering what could be happening.Stella banged on the door shouting my Aunty's name to come and see.We rushed out to see a woman grabbing Aunty Lisa by her clothes.My aunty quicly stepped in the middle to seperate both of them.

"Madam what happened",Aunty Aminat asked the woman that locked Aunty Lisa's clothes.

"Is it not this stupid girl that did not allow my husband to give me and my children money again?",the woman said angrily.

Aunty Aminat asked the woman to allow her speak to Aunty Lisa in private.

"Don't use style style and let her escape oo",the woman shouted as she untied n tied her scarf.

"Madam she said she knows nothing about what you are talking about",Aunty Aminat said to the angry woman.

"Ehnehn that's what she has being saying since but I know she's a liar and husband snatcher woo!!woo!!Ashawo,gboko gboko!!!".

Aunty Lisa broke down into tears  as the woman called her names.

"Which stupid tears is coming from your eyes because I have not started with you oo,you will see pepper because I am fully prepared".

"Madam take it easy now",my aunty said as she and Stella consoled Aunty Lisa.

"Ehh Madam who exactly is your husband since she claims she doesnt know him",a man from the compound asked and few people that were around agreed too.

"Who else but Wale?".

"You too do you know Wale",the man directed the question to Aunty Lisa.

"It is my fiance,Wole that is my only boyfriend".

"She wont still confess can you see?,is it until  I pour acid on your yellow body",the angry woman replied her.

"Or what if Wole is Wale?",Aunty Aminat asked.

"See it looks like it is your husband that you will go and meet because he lied to my friend".

Aunty Lisa was speechless as she kept thinking of what my Aunty said.She fainted from the shock.

"Let her pretend very well I will wait for her Oloshi..onishina",she said and hissed as we rushed to revive her back.

"Ahnahn kai dont you have human feelings?..you should be going home now Madam",Aunty Aminat said angrily.

The woman realized that Aunty Lisa might have truly fainted so she just hissed and left promising to come back again if she didnt leave her husband alone.After some minutes,Aunty Lisa was back to life and given milk to drink.

"Has the woman gone?",she said slowly.

"Yes dont mind her",my aunty and Stella took her inside to sleep and asked me to get cold water to massage her body as she already had developed a fever.
