chapter 4
Its been a routine for the past few months, to wake up in the morning prepare breakfast, get Zainab and amrah ready for school pack their lunch, making sure that ya Abba is up early.
Everyday every minute every second, ammi is loosing it,she feels like she can't take care of and its her fault at first for not letting ya Abba fight.
Ammar is always begging me to tell ammi about our decision but an always against it,everything has its time, for now we're good let's just wait for some time.
I was arranging dinner when I heard somebody shouting and it sounds like ammar's voice, I rushed upstairs to where the voice is coming from, and its ammi.
Na shiga uku
O my God
"Ammi!ammi!" I held her hands up but nothing, ammar was busy shaking her,ya Abba carried her and he rushed her to the hospital, I was left alone at home with amrah and zee.
My mind wasn't at ease since they left some stupid things kept coming rushing to my brain, but I kept on whispering addau,my mama,.
"Adda Nana will ammi be fine" amrah asked me, I just looked her with a reassuring smile, non of us I sure,I checked the time it was already 12:56.
I fed amrah and zee,they slept after eating, I rested my head on the bed side drawer thinking about what is happening, I don't even have credit to call them, before I knew I slept off.
**************
"Adda Nana wakeup they are not back yet" amrah woke me up,we checked everywhere but still no sign of them,they got ready for school while I made breakfast for them,they ate and I closed the door, before leading the way to their school.
Coming back home I met ya moha by the door, his eyes were red and his hair look scattered,for all the years I lived in this world I have never seen him like this even when baba died.
"Ya moha how is mama"
Silence
"Ya moha talk to me mana"
"Fatima what should I tell you,that they asked for immediate surgery and we don't have that kind of money,before fajr she followed baba," he collapsed on the floor, tears running that his cheeks
"Nana we have nobody now nobody" he kept on repeating it.
My whole system stopped working, it feels like some kind if wire was disconnected from my body, I was mentally down,no emotions, no happiness, no sadness just the common Nana Fatima Umar turaki, I was mentally down, all my body shut down immediately, I grab his hand
"Ya moha take me to her please I need to see her,she can't do this to us,we need her now,we need a motherly love, we need her to be by our side,she needs to wakeup from her sleep ai it's enough for the day, she hasn't pray fajr yet,its unlike her wlhi, and...."
"Nana keep quite please, it's enough keep shut" he shouted.
"Go and pick amrah and zee from school,me and Abba will go find a malam,and her uncle since he's the only person in her family left".
*************
Its been two weeks now,we were all sitting down in the parlour everybody in he's world of imagination.
The only person left for us uncle Ismail came for her janaiza but after that he left,her friends from Abuja came but they did only one week.
Not even the shadow of our so called siblings came, they only sent somebody with money wai donation,ya Abba send the person back with bruises all over him.
Ammar asked for a meeting that he wants to tell us something and I know what the thing is so I guess I have made up my mind,since lack of money caused lack of happiness in our life we shall get everything over.
" ya Abba am leaving for Abuja tomorrow, a man offered me a job, and he send somebody to come am pick am starting next week" he looked down waiting for an answer
"Toh Allah ya kaimu,but can I know what you're going to do" ya Abba asked
"Ball,am going to to ball,super eagles" he replied
"I have something to say too" they all looked my way, yes I have made up my mind too,marwah Umar turaki get ready for it.
"Am going for a interview in Abuja too,can follow ammar"
"Interview?" Ya Abba gave me a puzzle look
"Yes"
"For what" ya moha asked
"Modelling".
