Two days after

/"Assalamualaikum/" I said in my sweet calm voice

/"Waalaikumusalam/" came my dad deep voice

/"Abbah an tashi lafia?

/"Lafiya alhamdulillah/" he said

/"Mashallah, Abbah I'm going back to school on Saturday inshallah/" I added.

/"Okay Allah ya kaimu ....do you need anything? are you done with your shopping ?

/"Aa I don't need anything , am almost done with my shopping/" i said my eyes still fixed on the rug.

/"Okay tooh , your driver will drop you to school , you should make sure your done with everything before Friday and you should leave as early as 7:00am you know the road to Abuja is not good.

/"Okay inshallah, nagode Allah ya Saka da alkhairi.

/"Ameen. He answered.

I stood up immediately and left , I went to mama's side, I greet her and told her I was leaving for school on Saturday .

/"Do you need anything ? Are you done shopping? she asked looking at me straight in the eye.

/"I averted my gaze immediately and replied her , no I don't need anything, I'm almost done shopping , I'm going to ya zulaiaha's house now and then I will head to shop rite and finish doing all the necessary shoppings, Halima will be joining me.

/"Okay toohm ki gaishe ta and my grand kids too.

/"Inshallah , Allah huta gajiya/"with that I left to go and get dressed .

I dressed into a black and white palazzo trouser and a white top then I threw my black kimono which has a dotted white all over , I wore it on top and pinned my hijab , I slipped in my jimmy choo flat shoe and my Gucci Quilted shoulder bag with my yazole flower quartz watch on my left hand i headed outside. I called my personal driver Audu and we headed straight to ya Zuzu's house.

/"Assalamualaikum/" I said pushing the door

/"Walaikumusalam..what a surprise came ya Zuzu's voice.

/"She hugged me and I hugged my two little cuties.

/"Anti amished you ..they pouted

/"Ayy I missed you too sweethearts come here/" I said picking Affan up to my shoulders.

/"Look what I brought for you ...I said raising the chocolates up for them to see.

/"Yayyy ...they said in unison I gave Aisha and Affan the chocolates and they ran to me hugged me and pecked me on my cheeks before running to there room saying mummy will not let them eat all....ooh how I love this kids.

Ya Zuzus am going dama I came to tell you I'm going back to school on Saturday ne/" I said standing up to leave .

/"So soon/" She said in a sad voice.

/"Halima must be waiting for me we are going for shopping ...my regards to ya Khalil.

/"Inshallah ..safe trip Babess.

/"Okay bye !she walked me up to the door and we drove off before she headed back inside.

/"By the tell tale ping of the notification I knew it was a new message , I quickly looked up to my screen and saw a new message from Halima saying /"Hello Dumbo! Where are you ? anyways meet me up at the new restaurant i will be waiting for you...pls be quick it's getting late.

/" I didn't reply her message knowing am at the gate of shop rite.

I quickly went up and to my surprise I found my girl with her man being all lovey dovey...I smiled at the site , they didn't even recognize I was standing there for almost about 2 minutes , I cleared my throat and they all turned up to look at me.

/"Hello I said raising my hand/"

/"Amaani/" finally your here.

/"She said while standing up to hug me....hey hey sit quietly/" I said pointing at the chair.

/"I exchanged pleasantries with Farouk who has been staring at us with a huge smile on his face ...seems like he's enjoying our little drama...came my inner conscience.

/"I'm gonna leave you two here, I will be back in an hour/" I said and headed to the shopping mall /"I picked a basket and headed inside where all the girly stuffs are...I packed some sanitary towel, panty liner and some inner wears for me and Halima , I then headed straight to buy some chocolates and cookies for us ...when I was done I went straight to pay the bills .

/"I handed the cashier my card but before he could collect it , a young man looked nothing short of 25 summers handed him his card.

/"I looked up immediately and told the cashier to use my card, when I heard farouq's voice telling the stranger .... I'm here with her young man and then he handed his card to the cashier.

/"I and Halima stood there staring at them blankly, when I heard the stranger called farouq's name in surprise.

/" looked like they know each other/" came Halima's voice.

/"Yeah yeah whatever , the guts of this guy make me wanna throw up , how dare he? halima was just laughing at me as we made our way to the car, seconds later Farouq came out with the shopping bags in his hands and the stranger tail behind him.

/"He handled everything to my driver/" and then I thanked him, I can still feel the strangers eyes on me.

/"How disgusting/" came my inner conscience.

/"Babeee/" came farouq's deep voice.

/"Meet my friend Aymaan/"

/"Hello he said waving his hands at I and Halima/"

/"Hi/" Halima said raising her hands .

/"Uhmmm I'm so sorry Mi lady I didn't mean to/" came his deep husky voice/" I almost flinched he's voice is scary and full of confidence.

/"Raising my head up , I took a glance at him for the first time, he was wearing a white spandex tank top and a blue jeans trouser , he's a black handsome with brown curly hair , light brown eyes , he's kinda tall and he has a long pointed nose and a muscular body not too muscular thou ...huh! Mashallah , not bad came my inner conscious again/" I didn't bother to reply him ...I turned to Farouq .

/"Uhmm Farouq I'm going it's getting late, ajebo are you coming with me or your boo ? came my calm voice.

/"Nah lets go , I think this two need to catch up/"

/"Hey babe, you know I'm gonna miss you so much/" She said making us laugh .

/"Yeah babeee, imma miss you too Bebe/" he winked at her.

/"Okay imma go inside the car I can see you both can't get enough of yourself , Altata two minutes , I'm giving you just two minutes then come drop your fine ass let's go/" I said in a serious tone , without

waiting for her reply I entered the car and sat down.
