ZAIN

ZAIN

My best friend In the whole wide world, I quickly checked my phone before heading out to meet whoever was calling me and that was how I saw that I had a missed call from him, Zain, my best friend. He knew not to call twice because I hated it and the reason I did not hear my phone ring was because I put it on silent to avoid risk of being caught by the hostel staff because phones were prohibited. I quickly hid my phone before heading out of the hostel.

Immediately I got to him I was embraced in a warm bear hug, Zain was not as big as my brother but sometimes I was forced to wonder who gave the best hugs but deep down I knew that how warm their hugs were was not as a result of how big their bodies were but because of how much they meant to me and how close we were. I swear that hug lasted for ten minutes a passersby would think that we had not seen each other in months but we saw each other last week which was the first time he left my side since the tragedy because he had to go see his family before resumption not that they minded or anything but it only seemed right for him to go see them

I missed you Soo much , I said to him. I missed you more he said softly, did I wake you up, you look tired he asked frantically.

you are the one who looks tired I retorted which was true because he hated travelling.

that may be true but there's no denying the fact that I woke you up he said again.

yes you woke me but I would have woken up anyways,I can sense you remember I said chuckling he too was laughing,you worry too much I told him

and that was how we bickered until we finally had to go our separate ways to go prepare for dinner
