Mine

Chapter 44

There's a bit of Hausa here so I'll translate it for those of you who don't understand ❤️

I received a lot of stares today

Apparently almost everyone knew I was married to Umar Kashim

It was so weird

Even people I never talked to came to say hi

I and Rabi'ah talked about what happened after my party and we decided I was going to see Ya Abdul immediately after school

I was now about to go out of school and I decided to call Umar

He answered on the third ring

"Hello?" came his deep voice

"Uh..dama I wanted to tell you I'm going to Aunty's house"

"Toh, meet me in my office after you're done" he said

"Ok, bye"

He hung up the phone

I drove some more minutes until I reached home

The gate man opened the gate and I entered

I turned off the engine and I came out

I met zulaiha at the front door

She grinned when she saw me "Ina wuni"

I grinned back at her "Lafiya kalau, kwana biyu, ban gan ki ba danazo ranan" (Lafiya, two days, I didn't see you when I came that day)

"Eh, naje ganin yaya ta ah suleja" (yes, I went to see my elder sister in Suleja) she said

"Oh Allah sarki" I said

"Aunty na gida?" (Is Aunty at home) I asked

She shook her head "ta fita da Rumaisa" (she's out with Rumaisa)

"Ya Abdul fa?" (What about Ya Abdul)

"Yana parlor din baba" she said (He's in Baba's parlor)

I nodded and I walked to Baba's living room

I entered to see Ya Abdul seated there watching a match

"Knock Knock" I said

He turned to look at me and he smiled "I thought it was Aunty that came back, ashe Keh Che"

"You look like a mess" I said

His hair was literally a bird nest, dark circles were very evident under his eyes

"I know" he said as he stood up

"Won't you give your favorite little sister a hug?" I asked

He smiled before he wrapped his arms around me

I hugged him back

"I'm sorry" he whispered

"Uh..you have to be, my back was so sore for a few hours"
