CHAPTER 15

THE BIRTHDAY BLAST

I was tired after the long and hectic journey, so I couldn't wait up for nusaiba to come back from the party.

The next day! I got up early in the morning  to be able to attend my 10:00am lectures and ruky came around  8am or so.

As you know her she started blabbering again. "Tyma!please I need your prayers because I still can't get over lay man. He is always dominating my thoughts even though I am very much aware that he got married.

Ahh! not I again " ruky please spare I am tired of hearing about him" I half shouted.

She just laughed and said "you are becoming mean. Nusaiba's hand work I guessed. "

Nusaiba that was pretending to be sleeping sprang up and started giving us some crazy stares admitting she did heard us well.

Tyma!Ruky! She shouted our names and we answered with a yes in chorus. "I hope I don't have to remind you that my birthday is on Thursday and you all are invited. I mean you must come. In fact y'all are gonna host it" she said not giving us a chance to complain.

I just swallowed my epiglottis due to the gravity of what nusy said. I hate going for parties and the first one I attended was that of ruky's brother's final year party. I hope this should not be the second.

But it was written bolding on ruky's face that she welcomed the idea, and that's how we left for our lectures after having our breakfast in the cafeteria.

Ruky left for her house and I came back to the hostel , bath , prayed ate and yeah SLEPT. Nusy came back in the evening making calls that distracted me from my peaceful sleep.

I had to get up and pray Magrib, she also prayed and be hold she started begging and pleading that I attend her party.

Seeing that I wasn't going to give she sighed and said "tyma do you remember when you went for a weekend I called you and told you about the tattoo less boyfriend I got for you? Well he has been on my nerves that I should sure you make it to the party.

I touched my body and felt how my temperature escalated at the mention of boyfriend. Well, I should feel that way because I am now a married girl.....uh yeah basically, not a married woman.

  Should I just tell nusy that I got married? What if my friends ditch me  and are not ready to be friends with me anymore? No! I wouldn't tell anybody about my little secret.

Surprisingly! SHE persuaded me to attend the party. We are to wear silver and pink English wear. I had to wear a silver kimono gown to go with pink veil I used to cover my hair.

Enough of the sins I accumulated as a married  girl not to talk of wearing something skimpy, I have to look decent.

We got to the party and it was all about dancing and party stuffs. I hate the DJ and a lot of people there because of how  ill mannered they are, geez ! So annoying. I sat down and that when i sighted nusaiba coming towards me with a.... guy!

She smiled at me and said tyma! Meet Abdul also known as slake popularly known as mr 9ice. "What an amazing introduction " I said to my self before giving them a smile... okay let me say..... a grimace, Yeah.. a grimace. It's a pleasure to meet you Abdul i said before nusy left.

We went to cut the cake and my crazy weirdos remained on the dance floor displaying their talents and I came back to my seat. 9ice.. ok I think I prefer slake.. any way slake talked and talked and talked which I chose to ignore and he left me sinking in ocean of guilt.

It feels as if I am on hot seat, so I can't wait to go back to hostel. Going to the party was not a bad idea because I forgot my worries and I had fun.

It ended around 11:30pm and went back to the hostel. Ruky had to sleep in the hostel too. Nobody was able to wake up early to pray because we stayed out late. And that is bad really bad.

Today is Friday and I think we cannot make it to the lectures early, so we both _me and ruky_ rushed out without proper breakfast.

May be you don't know this but, i respect looking good, so even while we were rushing, I took my time in order not to look shabby. Ruky wore my abaya because she can't fit in my normal clothes.

We finished lectures around 12:30pm. Ruky was copying notes and i decided to walk majestically to get us take away from cafeteria. I was sitting seated where we once sat with ruky and i remembered how ruky was describing layman and i started smiling remembering our encounter.

Ma! Here is your food said the waitress after dropping the food on My way out of the cafeteria.

I was outside the cafeteria living when I stumbled on a stone and fell on the ground making my masa and soup to splash on the ground. I made a puppy face my eyes already filled with tears and sadly said "My white shadda is ruined. "

I said sorry to the people around and some people pitied and said sorry.  I got up and  wanted to apologize to the victims close to me. And behold my dearies! It's the forest. Yes I mean them layman and co.

I wanted to talk but ended of  stammering "I... I... I am sorry I didn't mean to. " He hissed and started giving me a downgrading look before saying "  do you know what? You are so illiterate,  just go and get married and have kids is better than coming here with your small brain. If I may ask what is your CGPA? " they all started mocking and laughing at me.

Thanks to nusaiba, she taught me how to be strong and never display my weakness in front of people especially enemies. If it were before, I would have cried but I am not gonna take this shit anymore...

Hello my lovelies! It has been long that I update. I was busy with my other novel, but I promised to make it up to you.

May zainab Muhammad rest in peace! 😢 😭

Your one and only karamarsu babbarsu
