REBEL SISTERS

“I will not take this nonsense, you better get a solution for yourself. I will not take it” Saeed voiced out harshly. Hafsat replied; “ You know you are the first person to, and I only know you. You must take it”. “Am not ready to be a father now, look for a solution”. Hafsat replied; “ It’s a normal thing, we can abort it, I just don’t know where to”. “ I know of a doctor that can abort it”. Saeed said. Hadiza went to visit her children without informing them as it was a holiday. When she went, she overheard them quarreling from inside, she bagged in angrily into the parlor. Hafsat was shocked after seeing her mother. She nearly fainted. “My daughter, am I dreaming or it’s a reality? Is this what you have turned to?” Hadiza asked her daughter with tears filled up in her eyes. Hafsat was still scared, her heart pounding in her chest. “ Am asking you Hafsat??” Hadiza yelled at her. “It’s not what you are thinking Mom”. Hafsat replied with a suspenseful voice. Hadiza turned to Saeed with the look in her eyes, it wasn’t budging. “ So you did this to my daughter?”. Hadiza asked Saeed. “ No Mom, she requested it from the beginning. I’ve never wanted the affair between us.” “And she forced you to do it without you wanting to? Had it been you are the girl, I would have agreed maybe you are r***d, but this one, you can’t tell me you are forced to”. Saeed replied; “ Mom I swear I did not want it at first” “ But you liked it at last and you continued to have it right?? You took away the virginity of my daughter, huh??” “Am sorry Mom” Saeed said. “Young boy, just get out of this house before I bombard all my anger on you”. Hadiza replied. Saeed replied; “ I'm very sorry Mom, it wasn’t my fault.” “ GET OUT” Hadiza yelled, sobbing. Saeed then shamelessly walked out of the house. “ And you!, I will deal with you, but this time, right in front of your junior sister, maybe that would pain you the worst”. Hadiza said with her voice breaking. Hadiza then went straight to Hauwa’s room. She opened the door to Hauwa’s room, then she met Hauwa and her friend Mufeedah inside. “OH MY GOD”. Hadiza said, tears streaming down her cheeks. Hauwa was shocked, her heart racing in her chest. “ What am I seeing Hauwa”. Hadiza asked, tears streaming down her cheeks. “ No, Mom, I can explain everything”. Hauwa replied. “ Explain what Hauwa? Explain what??. I don’t need any explanation from you, I have seen everything”. Hadiza yelled at her. She then turned back and left to the parlor. “ Have you seen what you have caused for me bestie” Hauwa asked her friend with regret on her face. Mufeedah her friend replied; “I have healed you from your pain before. Now that another problem arises, you can call me whenever, and I promise to heal your worries anytime my dear” “Pack up your belongings and leave immediately” Hauwa told Mufeedah. Mufeedah then packed up her belongings and left. Hadiza went back to the parlor. Hafsat and Hauwa followed her to the parlor. Both of them were in shame, heads down, they couldn’t even make eye contact with their mother. “ My children, WHY??. Why all this???” Hadiza asked her children, with tears falling from her eyes. HER CHILDREN BEGAN TO NARRATE THE STORY. One day, Alhaji Zango was in town. He called Saeed; “ Son, I want you to deliver these files to Alhaji Garba at his residence, he will check through them and sign on” Saeed replied; “ Okay Daddy, I will go immediately “ “That’s my son, have it”. Alhaji Zango handed over the files to Saeed. “ Take good care of yourself”. “Okay Daddy, bye.” Saeed drove his car and went to Alhaji Garba’s house. He parked his car outside and went inside the house. He wanted to meet Hauwa before meeting their father. When Saeed opened the door to the parlor. He met Hafsat chatting with her phone, with EarPods in her ear. “Excuse me, sister”. Saeed said to Hafsat. Hafsar did not hear him. Saeed then walked towards her; “Hello sister, excuse me”. Hafsat then realized someone was approaching her. She dropped the phone quickly and raised her head. As she raised her head, she saw a very handsome and charming boy, with very broad shoulders and very beautiful black hair. “Good morning handsome” she quickly greeted him. Saeed replied; “Morning sister. Is your father around?” Hafsat was busy staring at him, he had already taken away her heart and mind. Saeed asked her again;” Is dad around?” “ Yes, he is here.” She said, after coming back to her senses. “ Have a seat please”. After Saeed sat down, he said; “can you please talk to your dad that am here”. Hauwa nodded her head while smiling and said; “Right away boy”. She then began to walk to her dad's room. Slowly stared at Saeed until she left the parlor. Hafsat went and jumped into Alhaji Garba’s room without excuse. “Hafsat are you okay?” Alhaji Garba asked her. She then came back to her senses and replied to him; “Yes Daddy. There is a young boy in the parlor asking of you” Alhaji Garba knew it was Saeed. He stood up and went to the parlor. Hafsat desperately wanted to see Saeed again, so she followed her dad to the parlor abandoning the tradition of their house, that when a male visitor came, Hafsat and Hauwa must give space and leave the parlor for their dad and the visitors only! Alhaji Garba walked in and sat down, while Hafsat stood beside him. Saeed greeted Alhaji Garba; “Good morning sir. I was asked by my father to deliver these files to you” He handed over the files to him. Alhaji Garba collected the files and checked through them to make sure everything was set. He then signed on to it. He then said; “ Hafsat, go inside and call Hauwa, that her coursemate is here”. Saeed was surprised that Alhaji Garba knew Hauwa was his coursemate. He didn’t even want Alhaji to know about it. He was even shy. Hafsat on the other hand was very angry after knowing Saeed was her sister’s coursemate. Hafsat went to Hauwa’s room. “Hey, Dad is calling you, you should meet him in the parlor right now.” “I hope everything is okay?” Hauwa asked. “ You will find out when you go”. Hafsat left, leaving Hauwa in suspense. Hauwa walked into the parlor. She was surprised to see her coursemate Saeed with her father. She was thinking of what brought him into their house. Saeed waved at Hauwa smiling with his hands down a bit. Hauwa pretended as if she did not see the waving. Alhaji Garba said; “ Come over my dear” Hauwa then went and sat down beside her father. “ This is Saeed Zango. He is the son of my billionaire friend Alhaji Zango. I have learned that Saeed is your coursemate right?”. “ Yes Daddy, we are in the same department”. Hauwa replied. “Saeed informed his father about you, and his father spoke to me without Saeed knowing,” Alhaji Garba said. Saeed couldn’t hold the happiness inside his heart, so a smile appeared on his face. “His father knows you are a very intelligent student, so he wants Saeed to be close to you since your examination is approaching. He wants Saeed to learn a lot from you so he can pass his examination without carrying any course. Alhaji Garba then turned to Saeed and said; “ Son, I have permitted you to always come to my house after school hours for some extra lessons with Hauwa even when I am not in town”. “Thank you Dad for the opportunity”. Saeed said excitedly knowing it was a chance for him to be always together with Hauwa even after school. Hafsat was much more excited than Saeed. “That would create more opportunities for me to meet Saeed and even more in their house.” She said to herself. “I know Mufeedah will not be happy after hearing this news, but I have no option, I cannot go beyond my father's words. But, how will Mufeedah react when she hears this news?” Hauwa keeps on questioning herself.
