Chapter: 15 | The Maze Runner•Hamza"His name is Safwan. You'll call him when you go back to Abuja. He handles all your mum's businesses. Just tell him I sent you.""Thank you! Thank you! Thank you Aunty B. You're the best. You've made my day." I said while dragging my box as I rushed out the door."But don't tell your father or anyone at all. Also you can't tell your mother I'm the one that sent you. I'll speak to her about it on my own."I smiled in appreciation before making a beeline to my car and throwing my box to the back seat. It felt like I was dying as I drove to the airport.I drove as fast as I could knowing the speed limit here was 40mph. I took the car back to the car rental at the airport and boarded the plane back to Abuja.****I'm finally back in Abuja but I'm yet to speak to this Safwan I'm supposed to be meeting.He's been on

Chapter: 14 | Black Out•Aaliyah"I'm about to board the plane. You better cook something before I come back.""What would you like to eat?""Stupid girl! What else will I want to eat?"I listened in silence for her to finish ranting. She didn't explain and she wanted me to just know magically. Do I look like a psychic to her?"Can't you hear me?! Abi you've turned deaf?"I really didn't have anything to say because she always did this. I ask what she wants, she makes noise, insults me and at the end she'll still say what she wants after all the noise making. Crazy woman..."Oh because I'm not there you think you can disrespect me ko? Be expecting the greatest beat down of your life when I come back. Cook jollof rice and make chicken pepper soup. If you like make it too little. Me and Mairo will be coming together. Idan kika ga dama kiyi ba

Chapter: 13 | Money For Evil•RaliyaIt's been three days since me and Alhaji Tanimu flew to Agadez.I want to go out with Hajiya Mairo to visit the malam that came all the way from Zindar to see us but he's too clingy. At first he wasn't so obsessed with my presence and now I have no idea why.The other day he said I love you. He knows I can't love anybody so why is he telling me that? This relationship was based on his wealth and he clearly knows it so his change in character is slightly amusing but definitely irritating me to the point of leaving him but I'll stay to gather all that I can get from his deep pockets."Masoyi na (My love)!" I sat on the bed beside him, folding my legs not to push his feet."One and only, what is it?" He dusted his trousers covered in biscuit crumbs and sat up straight."Toh ka san aminiyata Hajiya Mairo ta shigo gari kuma (You know my friend Hajiya Mairo is in to

Chapter: 12 | Trip To Yola•HamzaAnd that's how we lived in misery for two weeks.No messages, an unreachable number and a devastated family.We called severally and she would reject our calls or her number would be totally be unavailable.Sigh.My father is the one who was affected the most. He tries to put on a strong face for us while we sit to eat our meals together but I alone knew he would cry all night and would wake up each night to pray for her return at 03:00am each night. He was a devout Muslim but this alone brought him closer to the Almighty. If he died at this moment I'm sure he'd make it all the way to Jannah (paradise) without delay.I on the other hand, have cried till there were no more tears left to cry. I'm closest to her yet I feel the most indifferent. I love her with all my heart but deep down I can't help it to think wha

Since Aunty Raliya's trip to the unknown we've had the most peaceful of moments.I'm sure she's going to a resort or something with one of her numerous Alhaji's but for some reason I think it's for something more sinister because days before she had been acting too weird and she told us to tell whoever that came to look for her that she was sick and didn't want to see anyone at this point till she has recovered fully.I asked Safiya since her mother is Aunty Raliya's bestfriend, maybe

Chapter: 10 | Runaway Mum•HamzaOur little episode of pretty little liars had come to an end with Aaliyah finding out and bursting into a fit of fury which I must say was quite amusing.I knew we would get caught the moment she messaged me and I started fumbling. I was a terrible liar and just didn't feel the need to hide anything from her but again I didn't want to hurt her feelings so I lied instead.Today I wanted to go to Imam's bakery to get some pastries for me and Bilal before I leave for work. As I reached the staircase, I remembered I hadn't greeted my mother so I made a turn to her room."Are you sure he's an expert? I don't want to waste time and money going somewhere without getting the expected results." I heard my mum say as

Chapter: 23 | Dinner Crashers•Hamza"You're the worst honestly!" I said with my eyes focused on the road."I was only helping her. You said you've changed but I know you're lying. Do you know that she knows Fauziya? If she even knows what you did she'll hate you entirely."Fauziya is one of Yusra's friends I befriended at a point in my life. I think at that time Yusra was in her first year while I was in my third year. She would always have sleepovers with Fauziya once every two weeks during the two months holiday we were given.One night I came into the kitchen in the middle of the night to find something to munch on during my movie marathon then I stumbled upon a crying Fauziya.She told me that her parents had forced her to study a course she didn't want to and now that she's failing, they're blaiming her without listening to her side of the story.We connected in a way becaus

Chapter: 22 | Café Meltdown•AaliyahIt was a month later. And with the help of Bilal and Hamza, I was a free woman who now had her rights given back to her again.After following the processes the bank had laid out for us, I was able to claim the money in the savings account my father left for me.Ok, I'm guessing that wasn't elaborate enough so I'll explain what was fast forwarded there.Let's rewind back to when I took the documents back at Aunty Raliya's house. The next day I went to the bank. The manager of that branch gave me a few steps to follow which were to go to the hospital first to get a death certificate for my father then follow the legal procedure of taking it to the court and getting a letter of administration which a copy w

Chapter: 21 | Heart Burn•Hamza"Do you feel anything for me? Even if it's a pint."My heart beats frantically in anticipation to her response."I do, ok." She sighed."That's a relief. You know I was talking about...""Just wait! I'm not done." She cuts me then adds, "I feel something I don't want to feel. I want to go back to school and graduate just like you. Maybe then I'd give in to the thought of a relationship but now is just not the time.""I know an apology will make this worse so all I can say for now is if you know what you feel for me is real then please wait for that moment when I'm ready and surely you'll be able to call me yours."The pain or rather realization of unrequited love is what I'm feeling now. I can't really explain it because it's just inexplicable.But you either know or you don't right?Well

Chapter: 20 | Everything, Everything•AaliyahFeeling like a boss, I sipped from my cup of coffee as I savoured the taste of the croissant lying on my saucer while I typed away on my phone. Since this plan worked out, I haven't had a problem.Bilal came to see me whenever he didn't have to go to work or wasn't busy at all. I'm so grateful to him. If not for him I wouldn't be where I am today.I had plans that needed executing but first I had to finish my breakfast, take a bath and maybe sleep for a really long time.I had a number of things on my mind. The first was to find a way back to school then build something for myself; I needed something that I could make more money from. I didn't want to pay for my tuition and not have payment ready for the upcoming years.I wanted to help the people around me but I needed to focus on my education first. Apart from that, setting things straight with my family wa

Chapter: 19 | Grand Theft Auto & Slush Beat Down•HamzaI literally turned into a fan girl yesterday. Aaliyah-my Aaliyah stepped foot in my house. I wanted to talk to her but I was too shy and I think the feeling was mutual.I was saddened because she looked frail and tired. She couldn't even look at me while I couldn't take my eyes off her.I desperately wanted a change of clothes and more perfume clouding me just to impress her but they'd all know why especially Bilal so I decide against it and just put on perfume before running downstairs to entertain my guests.They came with a man. He looked weak and unkempt. I'd like to help him but I need to hear his story first.He'd narrated it and now we know he's the reason behind my beauty's sleepless nights. I'd like to hate him but in this case he begged for forgiveness and he's in need of serious help. He needed to be fed and catered for but so was my habibty

Chapter: 18 | Gone Girl•Raliya"What do you mean she has been discharged?" I barked at the old lady standing behind the receptionists desk."Who did she leave with?" I asked, my hands flapping up and down as if I was preparing to fly into the sky."She left this morning with her uncle."If utter confusion had an emoji that would be my face right now. I didn't understand a word she was saying. How can she be discharged? I'm the one that brought her so technically, I'm the only one allowed to take her. The hospital has no record of another family member or do they? Faridah doesn't even know so which uncle was she talking about?It better not be Hakeem or he'll be six feet under for real this time!"I need to see someone in charge. Get me someone I can talk to!"Her body shakes like a leaf as she picks up the phone on the table to call the Doctor.
