THE HOMEWRECKER✔️

7. Painful Departure💔

Ikhlas POV.

We prepared for our project defense poorly because Haneefah made sure I only read 3 hours a day.

The RRBN exam was favourable, I was asked a very simple question and I answered it brilliantly. Hannefah did her project defense today and I am going to do mine tomorrow.

Things have been going normal At Haneefah's, they are really preparing for the wedding and I think the relationship between Hanny and her fiance is getting better.

The most important thing right now is to break the news to haneefah. I don't even know how to tell her, what would her reaction be? how will she feel? I kept having second thoughts about telling her, I just don't know yet.

I left for Ibadan after my defense to get ready for my induction. Hanny saw me off to the airport before I took a 7:00am flight to Lagos.
I visited a friend before I left for Ibadan by road.

I arrived around 10:00am in the morning, I was happily welcomed by the whole of my family. My brothers Fawaz and Abass were very happy to see me, I also missed those two little bundle of joy.

I bathed and ate a heart felt meal, specially prepared by my mother. I called Hanny and spoke to her, I played and watched cartoons with my brothers, so many people came to congratulate me and my parents for the completion of my studies.

I really enjoyed myself and rested for a week before we came back to Kano for my induction.

I talked to Hanny about accommodation and her parents decided to house my family during their stay in Kano, saying it was better than lodging in a hotel, plus we are one big family now .

We arrived at Hanny's at around 6:00pm. They welcomed us warmly, we bathed, ate and chatted before everyone went to sleep.

We woke up the next day, got ready and headed for BUK New Site the event is going to take place in the Convocation Arena.

Hannefah and I went to sit with our colleagues and chatted a bit before the starting of the event.

We were congratulated by the Vice Chancellor, we took our Oaths and received our certificates. We took so many pictures and I think my facial muscles are starting to get tired from too much smiling. Hanny's parents organized a small congratulatory Walimah for Hanny and I, which will hold 5:00pm today.

I think now is the right time to break the news to Hanny.

" Haneefah can you come out for a bit?" I asked.

"Yeah sure" she answered.
We went out and found a less crowded place and sat down.

"You see I don't want you to find fault in me Hanny" I started. "I had no other option than to do it so please forgive me" I said.

"What is up with you ikhee just spill it" she said.

I took a very deep breath before saying"I WILL BE LEAVING FOR NEW YORK TOMORROW"

"WHAT!!!" She asked clearly shocked.

" Hanny am going to study, you know how much I wanted to become a Nuclear Medicine specialist." I replied.

" And you couldn't even tell me? What type of a friend are you? The type that breaks people's hearts and leaves them?" She said with so much hurt evident in her face and voice.

Ya Allah I feel so awful Right now.

"Ikhlas Ajoke Muhammad!!! I thought we were friends, friends do not keep things away from each other. I hate you, you are a heartbreaker and I hate myself for growing so attached to you, you betrayed our friendship and I am so disappointed in you." she broke down and started crying also making me to also start crying.
