BORN A NORTHERN DAUGHTER

NAFISA STORY

After all the warnings given to Abigail by Zara and nafisa, Abigail never talked about the water incident again and some times get to tag along with the two girls as she doesn't have any friends before.

senior Rabi was discharged from the school clinic next morning and was escorted back to the hostel by her bunkmates, she felt better even though her skin became roughly patched with purple bruises as she was a fair young lady, she scratches her self and caused wounds on some part of body, it was all for a good lesson because other seniors in the school reduced bullying and punishing the junior ones and also learned not to take advantage of there power and prefectship. Rabi was taken to her room and she asked for Zara and nafisa to be called for her, The two girls appeared before her and knelt down in front of her. " senior Rabi we are here" Zara said with faked concern on her face, senior Rabi looked at them both for a minute without uttering any word, she then called on their names.

" Nafisa and Zara"

Nafisa and Zara

Nafisa and Zara

how many times did I call you both?

Answer me ehn?

How many times did I call you both ehn? she said in a calm and teary voice as if she remembered the pain she went through again. her eyes were teary as she speaks due to the disappointment and pain she felt in her heart as she wondered why the two girls did that to her.

Senior Rabi how is your health? Nafisa asked hypocritically.

Answer me both of you,why did you put something on my bath water hnm?

let me tell you something, Even if you both deny it ehn I know it's you because I myself have not been fair to you both. I have never treated you nicely and always gives you big buckets to get me water, I didn't consider the fact that you are both small and the buckets are heavy for you to carry,I sometimes send you on errands that makes you missed your lunch at the dinning hall.so I acknowledged my wrongs towards you both and I am apologizing to you both please forgive me,I promised to treat you both nicely and help you with your assignment hnm? is that okay?

" yes senior Rabi"

Good! now you need to apologize in return for what you did to me. both of you should look up and look at the way my body has turned.

They both looked up at her and felt guilty and sympathy towards her because they were not expecting her to apologize to them but punish them.

" senior Rabi we very sorry"they both said.

we won't do it again.

it's fine, you can both go now that's all I wanted to speak to you both about.

the two girls whispered within themselves as they turned to her and said " senior Rabi bring your bucket let fetch water for u for fre...Nooooo! I don't want thank you! Rabi shouted.

the bunkmate bursted into laughter.

ahn ahn bunky u don't want? but why na she asked nothing thank you ehn both of you can go. Zara and nafisa knew that it was because she was scared of anything happening to her again but they didn't insist and just left the room.

As they both walk around the school that Friday evening Zara asked nafisa about her town, family and tribe. they have been friends throughout there junior years in school but don't know much about each other's personal life.

Nafisa looked at her and said my mom is at Minna while my dad is at lambata. where is lambata Zara asked? it's along suleja to Abuja road. okay but why are they in different town and where do you stay and who do you chose to stay with hnm?

okay it's a long story but let me explain, nafisa said.

" my parent are not together for a reason I don't know because I grew up to it that way,so I think it happened when I was little. my dad is very popular business man with three wives, my mom gave birth to two of us.. my brother in the senior section and me .

ohh you have a brother?

And his in this school? wow! Zara asked surprised.

yes I do! I have other siblings too from my stepmoms and cousins too that live at our house.so that's why they are both living in different town I guess. I will introduce you to my brother though he knows you already but you don't know him ha ha ha nafisa laughed.

alright then, thank you for telling me your story which I knew is personal to you.

we should hurry up so we don't miss out on the egg that will be shared today at the dinner. okay. And they both started running towards the school dinning hall.

It was the end of session and everyone was getting ready to leave the hostel as the students were busy cleaning and getting ready to go home.That is also the end of Zara and Nafisa year of being a junior student as they will resume as senior girls too. This thought alone made them so happy and excited to resume for the next session.They were also sad and not happy that they will not be seeing each other for the next two month they will be spending at home but nafisa promised to spend just one month at her dad's place and come back to Minna to spend the rest of the break with her mom,that way they can visit each other easily. they helped each other packed there boxes and also took same ride as they depart at the school junction and promised to keep in touch with each other. they already missed each other badly as it was hard to say goodbye.they kept hugging themselves and promised to resume early to see each other again.
