Tired

Aleena after returning back home from school she went directly to her mom's room as her normal tradition, whenever she is out and back home she need to tell her mom she is back before going in to her room, she finds her mom not in the room and she is tired enough not having enough energy to go and check the house premises, so she plodded to her own palour from her mum's part, where she lay slum on the center carpet. After resting for about thirty minutes, she extended her and towards her bag which she keeps on the floor since her arrival, she brings her phone out of it and dialed her mom's number.

Answering the call mam said " Aleena what Happened are you not back yet", her mom asked with curiosity because Aleena hardly call her on phone unless for serious matters, Aleena smiled "no it's nothing i just want to tell you that i am back and I went to your room but you wasn't in the room, i am too tired that I can't look for you around the house" Aleena said in a lacking energy voice.

Mam giggle "ho Aleena this your laziness anyway welcome back, you thank God that you do not look for me i am not home, you can have your food" Mam said in a laughing manner voice.

"Ok mam may you reach back home safely" Aleena said briefly and end the call.

She was too tired to stand up and go to dinning area though is not very far from her but still she can't go, she use her leg and press the bell in front of her and few seconds of her pressings the bell two women show up, The older woman said respectfully bowing down "Hajiya (name giving to someone above you to respect her) what do you want us to do for you? The oldest asked while the younger woman greeted Aleena respectfully, Aleena smiled before saying "oh no didn't i tell you not call me Hajiya pls Umma i prefer my name" she begged politely.

The woman Waves her two hands "who i am to say your name, I can't" she said shaking her head. Aleena smiled "ok can you please help me and bring pineapple and tangerine here" the two women look at each other in little shock even after knowing Aleena would never do something stupid to them, the young woman gather her courage and "say i think we don't have pineapple may be tangerine".

Aleena keep quiet a little looking at them she wanted to shout at them but the fear she saw on their face made her change her mind and she said "i thought Abba gave enough money to everything, let say the money he gave is not enough do you decide to bought what you wanted and Skip my choice?" she said her face showing plane expression.

The old woman voice tremble as she speaks "no Hajiya who are we to skip your choice is because Hajara in charge of going to market is having fever the whole week, she is now at her room" the woman said

"what you mean a person is sick and no body told Mam about it, did she go to hospital" Aleena said her eyes wide open.

"No Hajiya i bought some pain relief drugs to her yesterday" the younger woman said.

Mtss Aleena hissed bringing her lips together and shakes her head abit, "you guys have problem ok go and bring the tangerine to me" she said and the young woman rose up to go while the older woman stay, Aleena look at her and say "what and what did you cook for today?" she asked pressing her phone.

The old smiled "i know the main dishes is not your choice but i fried Yam for you and made a Yam ball too", Aleena giggles "ok Umma please help me and bring it here, you see today i am so tired" she said languidly, The woman stand on her feet and stroll to dining area.
