Story of three friends follow me and see how life treats them
"Hanifa, hanifa" I was sitting in my room, eating, when I heard yaya calling me i know my brother wouldn't call me like that on normal basis.
"Kai what's your problem" my mom asked him
"My problem? Ask your special daughter here what she did, and you, explain what's the meaning of this" he showed me his phone, his friend sent him the picture because I refuse to go to the club with him.
"Yaya I can explain wolllah"
"Explain what? What will you explain, the fact that you were having fun with my friend, I get it , no need"
"Wolllah yaya he framed me, he even threatened me that if I don't follow him to the club but I refused,i know my limits ai, banje islamiyya a banza ba ai, Kuma mama bata min tarbiyan banza ba, so stop accusing me please, it will be better if you go and ask him if what am telling is the truth, never mind I know he won't speak the truth, but when the truth comes out we shall see" I left them stand with wide eyes and open mouth, I know I don't use to talk back at my parents but I couldn't help it, I have defend myself.
"Sarauniya!" I said almost loudly but not enough for my friend Bilal to hear, "who is she?"
"Aaliyah. She's the late Alhaji Mujib's daughter. " Bilal said seeming uninterested with the topic.
"Ina gidan su?" I asked, sounding a bit like a crazy stalker.
"Ka kamu da ciwon so ko?" He asked as a smile spreads across his face, "They live in Asokoro district. Remember Aunty Shamsiyya? The place isn't far from your habibty's home too."
"Ok, thank you. Allah ya maka albarka."
"Let me know when to be expecting an invitation card." Hamza said while trying to stifle his laughter but fails woefully and I smack him on his arm as payback, joining him to laugh too.
I wanted to follow her and speak to her but I heard the music start, signaling the commencement of Bilal's cousin Nadiya and her groom; Saleem's overpriced dinner party for both families.

Aaliyah's only way out is when Aunty Raliya tries to sell her off to a man who's twice her father's age but she's swept off her feet by another who's done nothing but try to make her happy.
Read to know how she struggles to dodge every rock thrown her way and how she manages to reach the top victorious.
