CHAPTER 10

Hello guys I am gonna introduce a new character. She is a little bit weird but I hope you will like her though she is nice.

😘

My room mate

"Zahra,I am your mother even if you did not tell me I know you like sultan. But,do you think he likes you?I don't want you to get the wrong Idea. Maybe he is just nice to you and you also know that you dad will not consent because he is not even a Nigerian." My mother said.

"Ma, I am not sure if he likes me, but i do have a soft spot for him and I become clumsy when I am around him."I said.

"Take it easy zahra"mom said.

"Thanks mum" I said.

I know that sultan is crushing me the way I am into him. But he never mention and beside the feelings surface only when he is around me.

They left for Pakistan after the celebration and I went back to school two weeks later.

Whoah! I am now a 200Level student and I just couldn't believe it. It was soo fast. I did my registration and pay for my hostel since my father would not let me stay off campus. So the arrangement was shuffled and I have to change room.

I was very tired after the hectic day.

Assalamu alaikum I said as I entered my(our) room and a lady probably same as my age who I assumed is a non muslimah answered. She had tattoos around her arms and thigh but it isn't that much.

"Sannu da zuwa(welcome!)" She said sending me a friendly smile.

I was shocked! because even if she is a muslimah I will swear that she can't speak Hausa. But I kept my thought to myself though.

She extended her hand to shake mine. I am nusaiba from katsina state,Nigeria.

What?! my eyes just dropped from their sockets. "I am Fulani by tribe." She added.

Wow!wallahi(by God)this girl is just killing me. No sense of shame at all.

I am Fatima bashir from Adamawa state.

"Well we are Fulanis"she said and I gave her a fake smile.

Nusaiba is anti shy because she is so different from been a Fulani and muslimah. I wonder where she is going because she is wearing a jean,top and a jacket. So she decided not to cover her hair because she uses hair extension, sprays and dye. Oh my God! Oh my god!I don't think I can live with her. I am choking due to absence of conducive atmosphere.

"Fatima,I want to get food what will you take?"she asked."Nothing" I hastily answered and she left.

It was already Magrib(after sunset prayer)I was praying when nusaiba came back,she sprayed her praying mat,put on long hijab(veil) and prayed.

Some one should please slap me. I think I am seeing vision.does she actually pray?.

I am not actually trying to say that am over religious or perfect than her but....she has no direction.....huh...I just... Well,forget it.

MEET NUSAIBA



A WEEK LATER

"ruky I will be waiting for you,come to my new room because I doubt if there will be lectures today. NO EXCUSES." And I ended the call not given her a chance to reply.

Tymah!tymah!oyoyo we hugged.

She sat down on my bed "hmmm...." From that hmm she said I knew that she wants to gossip so I arched my brows at her in disapproval.

"Ke!zancen layman ne fah(hey its about layman) stop giving that look" she said.

Curiosity grew inside me, I wanted to know what she wanted to say so I grab my phone and was like 'go on'

"Layman is getting married!" She broke the news!"his name is jibril, here have a look at the invitation card" she added which I hardly heard a single word she said. All that is echoing in my is 'layman is getting married.'its not like I cared much but you know this kind of feeling, your ex is getting married? Was he actually my ex?I don't think so.

So, I collected the invitation card and its really his wedding IV, JIBRIL GONI is the groom's name.

The rate at which ruky is happy you will think that she is the bride,grinning like a fool."I wish he gave me a chance"she said silently. I hugged her not to console her but to console my self. Selfish right?

"Let's go to class"ruky suggested.

"I am not too well ruky just go,I am feeling cold already." I said.

She said "Lets go to the sickbay then"and i declined.

She left for lectureand I started showing my talent,my professiona,what I am actually good at. "CRYING😭"

I really cried,why am I crying? I really don't know. At that nusaiba finds it the right time to slam the door and enter.

I thought I closed the door. She opened her mouth to say something but quickly shut it,threw her stuffs on her bed, paced to my bed and sat down.

"Fatima! What happened? Why are you crying?"She asked.

"Its headache and fever" I lied well apparently I think I was developing a little of fe..ver

She arched her brows and gave me a questioning and doubtful look she smirked and said

"Bea tell me truth I know that you are not sick,sooo...is it about guys?"

My eyes widened at her guess and she chuckled.

"I don't give up so easily so tell me,who is this lucky champ?" she asked.

I......
