HAJRA POV Baba has come back from work but he was having a conversation with yah al Amin (you asked me how do I know that 😁because I was leaning onto my door room peeping through 😁). My heart was on a marathon race , I know by now yah Alamein is discussing it with baba.
"Hajra hajra" baba called my name Ya Allah I'm scared I hope this goes well , I prayed and made my way into the parlour. "Gani baba ( here I am baba)"I answered. "Umm HAJRA" he called my name in a serious tone "Naam baba" I answered without staring into his eyes "Your brother told me about your request" he said pointing towards ya Alamein "He said you wanted to participate in some sort of art competition Ko" he said "Yes baba" I replied
"He gave me some reasons for you to participate but I have to think about it" he continued "When is the competition?" He asked "In 9 days time" I replied "For how long would you stay there" he asked " a week" I replied scared of his answer
"Toh you can go , I will call you when I think about it" he said and left the room. I quickly went towards yah Alamein "Hey what did you tell him , he didn't shout or yelled at me" I asked "That's my little secret" he whispered "What do you think will happen" I asked worriedly "I don't know but don't worry Insha Allah he would agree , don't you forget goggo zainab is living in kebbi" he reassured before I was relieved
"Yeah yah Alamein it has been long since we've visited her Wallahi"I replied "You see , then you can stay with her untill you're done" he completed "Yesss yah Alamein your sooo good" I replied before hugging him.
"Oya where is your part of the deal" he requested "Don't forget the deal is untill baba agrees" I glared "What's remaining Abeg jo go and prepare it for me" he glared back "Nop untill I hear from baba" I replied before running into my room and closed it "Zan kama ki ne" I heard him before he left .
I quickly picked my phone and dialled my Besty number and gist her about my encounter with baba. ***************
It's has been five days and 4 days remaining for the competition to start and baba hasn't said anything and the registration would be closed in two days time . I was seated in my room wearing a long white with black touch dress , tied my hair with a brown hijab, practicing my arts skill before I heard the voice of baba calling out to me.

I quickly kept what I was painting and rushed towards the living room. "Naam baba" I answered I walked in and found baba and mama with yah al Amin seated with a stern expression and I swallowed hard before seating close to mama "About the arts contest you told me about" he begin "Yes baba" I answered
He kept quiet for a while before he pulled a paper and passed it to me. I stared at him in confusion before he gestured me to open it. I unfold the paper and saw what was written on it, my eyes glittered with happiness, I stared at baba and back to the paper before I yelled out and hugged baba "Thank you baba thank you" I cried out with happiness. "Ah ha what about me does my hard work goes in vain" yah al Amin teases
