781 Words
Time is really flying as only 2 days remaining for me to travel to the country I couldn't even remember the name something like kenada or whatever I can't remember and I was told I will be travelling by plane, I used to know that planes are the fastest means of transportation back then at school.
But i'm wondering will I be there alone? Alone in a strange place probably meeting strange people? I just pray all will be right. I can't even believe it that finally I will continue with my education so I'm so eager to go.
Umma's pov
"hahahaahha Hajia batula for life! I really like your smartness the girl is there overwhelmed with joy thinking that she will be in school in the next two days" poor her.
" i just hope it worths it, I'm not suffering in vain."
Hajia ladee I assure you all will be alright it's just a matter of time I'm even sad that you're doubting me came hajia batul's voice
"noooo noo that's not the case, I trust you let me just hang up the call in case she's eavesdropping bye thank you" I replied as I hang up. I think I should continue to be nice to her but I need to call atika and ameer my children and inform them so that they won't mess up with my plans because I know by this time this girl have already told them about her trip since she's head over heels and they are really close to her so they might say something bad.
"Amiiiirrrrr! ateeeekahhhh where are you ??" "Yes mom we will be here in a jiffy" they replied in unison. "Alright be fast" i answered impatiently ...
As they come inside my apartment I saw azeezah with them honestly I was scared what if they told her something....." I shout did you hear me call azeezah "?
I quickly remember and maintain my mood and said "azeezah darling you can go back emmm I want them to do some work for me and I want you to rest since ure leaving soon" I said in between fake tears I can predict she's convinced she came and wiped my tears and said "sorry umma I will be back" she said almost in a whisper and she left.
"Well, I coughed I called you guys on an important note or I should say issue. But before I start what were you guys doing together with her?" "We are studying" came atika's voice.
"Ohhhhhhhh" I sighed. "Okay I know you are all aware that this girl will be travelling in two days right? I'm sure she told you"!they both nodded in affirmation. Fine I said.
You all know that I have been trying my best about this girl right
these days replied amiir
I said what did you say?
Nothing I just said yes we know and jazakillah (may God reward you) came his reply.
I smiled upon hearing his answer and added
well she's going to Canada and will be working as a house help or would be better I say housekeeper .. there is one man who owns a house and hardly stays there because he's always occupied with work , but he's a Nigerian and government wanted to sell off the house because there's no one in the house so he ask for someone to be staying while he's away.
But what if he's around? Came atikas reply..
yess she will stay with him like that.
Audhubillah (i seek God's protection) !! Haram (prohibited) umma said amiir.
I Shout at him "hey look! I'm your mother and I know what's right and wrong. I didn't call you here to argue with me or preach to me that's how this children of nowadays are" mtswww I hissed you may all leave my room, I dismissed them.
Amiir's pov
Atikah did you think what umma is doing is right ? I'm sure abba is unaware of all these dramas
who told you ? Atika said. I heard it when she was telling abba but she cooked up a lie to him .. that's not the case poor azeezah don't even know what's happening she's there happy. Ya Amir I wished we can do something to save her she's our sister.
Atika had it been there is something I can do I would have done I pity her, poor azeezah.
What happened you guys are grieving, as if I'm dead came azizah's voice
I wanted to talk but atika signalled me not to..we all turned to her direction with mouth agape
"Answer me now!!"She shouted and we both swallowed a lump.
