Vacation

Its been almost months now since we av moved here, its a month since Fatima started schooling and "its actually fun" just as she said.

"Manual u beta hurry up if not, we are leaving without u" Ammi voice from downstairs yelled

"I'll be down in a giffy" I said putting on my red half jacked over my black jeens.

We were heading to the Albany international airport to pick their mummy.

She was furious at ammi after learning about way happened, well it's wasn't a thing to talk about but she learned about it never the less.

"Halima wallah nai fushi,

am still not okay with what u did, why couldn't u at least inform me" mummy said immediately we got into the car. She's been talking about it. "But then, it's in the past" as ammi always say.

"the house looks beautiful" mummy complement. Well it's not bad, not like the one in Nigeria I thought.

"Wait nikan banga takwala dadi ba, (I didn't see my namesake around fah)" she asked of umimi were about. "uhmmm ta Tai makaranta, (she went to school)" ya Salim informed.

"Allah sarki, keh biki Fara bane" she directed her questions towards me.

"Aa mummy, muna jiran result ya hito, (we are waiting for result)" I answered her lowering my head.

"Toh Masha Allah hajiya nah Allah yah Baku saa, (May Allah see u through)" she payed 'Ameen'.

"manal, meet me in my room" ya ordered. Cutting the call wah wrong with him, I though maybe his bored clearing my head.

"Asalm, I prayed getting into the room the room was empty but the balcony door was open, so I thought he was there.

"ya, u called for me" I asked siting on one of the chairs.

facing me before saying" yes I called for u", minutes passed without anything been said but he bitted me to it.

"it's about ur school", he said in a duh ton. "ya don't tell me, I failed" I asked already panicking.

"no it's not actually that" he said nervously pinching the tip of his nose, a thing he does wen nervous but it's annoying me this time.

"wah is it, you are scaring me" now at the venge of tears I Pleaded with him.

"the thing is that, u ain't going to any interior school until ur 21 that's Wat the law says here. So it's practically means, u are not yet qualified" he said not looking at my face.

"does that mean my dream of becoming an interior, will be shattered ya?" I asked slumping down on my feet.

"no u shouldn't cry, everything will be okay" he patted engulfing me in a hug.

"I know nothing will be okay, ya nothing! only if that witch was never in our life. I could have started going to school" tears screaming down my face.

using his thumb whipping then away "it's okay I'll do, something about it". He assured.

we stayed like that for a moment, Khalid bragged into the room.

"what your problem Khalid, don't u know your a grown up, bragging into a place without salam" ya scolded after pulling apart from the hug.

"oops, am uh-huh sorry to interrupt your lovey momen"t he shattered winking at me, before running off to the door "well dama mummy ce, tace Nakira ku"

' mummy said i should call u guys'

"well clean up your tears, okay will find a way out" he ordered going out-of the room also.

well only if we didn't left Nigeria, I thought. All wah happened comming back with full force, making my water work begins after crying for Wat seems like forever.

Waking up in a supper comfy bed, wait were I am...

immediately sitting up, ya illahi. I faced palmed myself.

"good morning, your highness a muscling voice. Wait ya quiam, my favorite. I jumped out of bed hugging the hell out off him.

"your hurting me" he whined, "oops am sorry ya, are u alright?" I asked knowing his health condition.

His having this chronic ashma, "Am fine" he flashed me his dollar smile.

well he has the most perfect set of grap teeth, both side dimples. So perfectly am drolling over him.

"were are your Manners," my stupid subconscious. "where u keep it" I murmured under my breath rolling my eyes, smiling like the crazy girl I was.

Qaim was starring wildly at me, maybe wondering. If at all I was okay, "yah I know am crazy" I said jumping out of bed.

'well so u have finally decided to wake-up" ya Salim asked sarcastically. Rolling my eyes at him, flipping my invisible hair.

"hahahaha" he laughed so hard, making me curious. Wait why is this fool laughing at me, I thought it was Khalid, the fool.

"well will u excuse me" asked cat Walking to my room. it was perfect. I thought the maids where doing great job here, not like those hausa girls back in Nigeria.

my hair was a mess maybe, that was why the fool was laughing at me. Hissing like a snake, going into the loo.

"whose interrupting my beautiful bath" I shouted "well u beta hurry up, we won't want to miss our flight" Khalid annoying voice. his a pain in the neck. I thought before wrapping myself in my favorite puffy bathing rob, with a matching foot wear.

"what flight are u talking about" I asked Khalid. "well for your information, we are going on a family vacation" he said taking a bite from his beautiful apple, which was inviting.

Taking one, I ran into my closet locking the door. so vacation and I didn't even pack my cloths.

Getting my black trolley from station. Putting clothes, I'll need mostly jeans and tops, one Ankara gown, "I don't like wearing them".

Smiling at the memory from ammi during eid, I worn a maxi gown and she was like, "wallahi, if you get married, I will see how your husband will let you wear this skimpy clothing.

Laughing at her before saying "ai if he loves me, he won't stop me from doing anything I like".

"see shameless girl, during our time. We even cry when marriage is talked about". She started  well Nigeria mother's and marriage, I thought

"that's u guys, we are now in our own time".

Nigerian mothers and marriage I thought again, putting on a maroon Arabian dress, a matching shoe with a mini black bag which contains lots of chocolate, jum, all the eatable things you could think of, inside the bag.

pulling my wrist watches, side to pick a black diamond one, ammi got for the girls wen she went to mecca the last time.
