Ghosts of the Past ✓ (EDITING)

Chapter Thirty-Five.

Idara
*******

Why did Ahmed want to talk to me?

I seriously don't want to talk to him now, or anyone for that matter, didn't he get it, heck!, I haven't even talked to my siblings or best friend and I'd talk to him.

“Ahmed, please, I'm not just in the mood to talk to anyone.”

“Well, okay, I respect that, but I'm still going to talk to you, so come on.”

He dragged me with him. He held my wrist so tightly that it begin to hurt.

“Ahmed, could you let go of my hand, you're hurting me, I promise I'll follow you, just let go.”

He released my hand and mumbled a quick sorry, so much for being polite.

What does he want to talk to me about, wait!

What if he wants to tell !e that he....no, that's not, he can't, what about Chika?

“Ahmed?”

“Yeah?”

“What is that you want to talk to me about?”

“When we find a quiet place to talk, I'll tell you, for now, just follow me.”

“Okay.”

I should just stop thinking about Chika, but how can I, I mean that girl is, she's a goddess or mermaid, whatever she is.

He took us me to the back of the dinning hall, where the excess benches are kept. It was calm and quiet.

“Take a seat.”

I hadn't even noticed that he had sat down. I sat opposite him.

A few seconds had passed and he hadn't said anything and I was beginning to think that he didn't want to say anything to me.

When I made up my mind that I wasn't going to sit there until he finds the courage to say what he wants, he spoke up.

“Why exactly are you avoiding everyone?”

“I'm not avoiding anyone, I'm not just in the mood to talk to people.”

“For goodness sake Idara, don't give me that shit, you and I know that there's a reason behind what your doing, now tell me, what is it?”

“There's no reason behind anything, who told you there was a reason?”

“Wow, abeg, stop this nonesense, I no one shout give you (I don't want to shout at you), just tell me what's going on, I could help you.”

Help me?

Help me when you're the source of my problems?

But I couldn't put the blame on him, it was Chika.

This whole situation I'm in is because of Chika, I can't tell my brother about this, he'd go angry and I didn't want to get him worked up.

And to be on a safe note, Ahmed's the understanding one, he wouldn't tell Luke unless I asked him to, I might as well tell him, he may have a solution to my problem. All I ever wanted in this life was for my life to be peaceful, yet the devil will always find ways to ruin my life, but this time, I'm not going to let him, he doesn't have any right over my life.

I heaved a sigh,“Okay Ahmed, I'll tell you.”

“I knew you would.” He was shining his teeth.

This Hausa boy.

“Continue shining your teeth, nonesense.”

“Don't talk to me like that I'm still your senior.” The smile never leaving his face.

“And you act like a baby.”

His face got serious, “Back to what we were saying, now tell me.”

“Well, I had this nightmare, well, I would call it a nightmare, it was more of an incubus, I was really terrified, Chika was in my dreams.”

I told him everything, from my incubus; when I saw Chika in my dream, how she threatened me, even up to the point where she said that she loved him, gosh, the look on Ahmed's face was priceless, it was like he had been told that he won a scholarship but then sent back because the name was his, and that the spelling was wrong, he looked so shocked.

I told him everything, I didn't leave out a single detail. There was a point where I even broke down and he came over to hug me.

“I never knew Chika would be capable of doing such a thing, that's just pure wickedness and you said she did this just because of me?”

“Yes, it's all because of you.”

“Well, that explains why she was being so affectionate this morning.”

“Yeah.”

Wait, what?!

“What did you say?”

“Chika was being over affectionate this morning, first she greeted me, then she ran her long manicured nails up my arms.”

The way he said it with so much disgust caused me to laugh, well, it seems like he doesn't fancy Chika a slight bit and she's wanting to love him.

Akwa love. (That kind love).

“Uncle Ahmed. Please spare her small.”

“How should I even start sparing her? That girl is pure evil. Jira a nan (Wait here).”

“Where are you going to?”

“I'm bringing everyone.”

Why? Why I'd he going to fetch everyone? I'm hope he isn't going to tell them what I just told him.

I think he noticed the look on my face because he said, “I just want you to talk to them, it's been days, they must be worried.”

And then he walked off, probably to go look for all of them.

I wonder why he didn't say anything when I told him that Chika said he likes me?

Can it be true?

I was able to update before the three.

Hope I satisfied your needs. If I'm able to update again today I will.

Today's my mom's and classmates birthdays and I'm not sure I'd be able to update later that's why I posted this now.

So what do you think of Ahmed?
Is Idara doing the right thing by telling him about her problems?

How are we sure that Ahmed won't tell Luke?

So your thoughts on our Mami water Chika? That girl nnn.

Anyways, till my next update,
Have a great day.
